Thank you Dothraki

Recommended Posts

So now we have an army of raiders let loose in Westeros who's culture is based on raiding, rape and pillage.  The Dothraki will not become Kings(queens)Guard.  They will not become the City Watch.  They will not settle into villages and become farmers and blacksmiths.  They came to KL to conquer and plunder.  Dany can't say "thank you" now go home, because there is no frikin word for it in their language.  They will leave KL and ravage the countryside. That is what they do.  Remember the last time Dany tried to stop Dothraki from being Dothraki, she ultimately got Kal Drogo killed.  Westeros represents an entire continent of Lamb men for them to raid and enslave.  Not lookin good.

Rember the Dothraki died all Leeroy Jenkins style in the Long night.   D&D even said they were extinct.  The thousands of them you saw raid Kings Landing were merely figments of our collective imaginations.

There wasn't even thousands.  If you watch when they go through the gates there might be about 30 riders..

It was like 30 last episode. They will multiply like Dany's army has every episode and be a few hundred this episode. Also, Unsullied will recover the half they lost.

yeah the unsullied numbers looked absurd in the previews.

I hope it was just a trick of an angle or something. Like it went by too fast or whatever and it really isn't THAT many..

She can't say "thank you, go home" but she can order them to go home. Remember, she's their khal. A way to make them go would be to order them to take statues of the Seven to Vaes Dothraki, as is the Dothraki custom after a conquest.

E4 established Unsullied and Dothraki suffered 50% losses at Winterfell, give or take a bit.

 

In any case, Westeros is not the country of Lamb men. Westeros is a country of men in iron suits living in castles and used to warfare. They would have a hard time even against the shaken Lannister troops without Drogon. The moment they do not have the firestarter, their ravaging would be pretty short-lived, unless protected by their plot armour.

 

The Unsullied... They stay as long as Dany lives. Heck, she could reach conclusion they are the only ones loyal and she may decide to make her own Unsullied. Once she's dead, they also have higher chance to survive at least some time - I guess Grey Worm would take them in such case to Naath to honor Missandei.

I'm finding the Dothraki situation really confusing. We saw them all die in the Battle for Winterfell. D&D said they were extinct. But they were suddenly back in time for the Bells and they're also in the preview for next week's episode. Or, at least, there's people waving arakhs around. Has there been any clarification on this? It's weird.

We saw all the Dothraki that took part in that charge die. That might not have been the full force.

Oh really? 

 

Check this photo from the Preview, It's almost more than was at Winterfell and not to mention the large amount of Dothrakis- https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a27482715/game-of-thrones-season-8-episode-6-finale-photos/

DAMNIT! I try to give the show the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it really isn't THAT obvious that her forces regenerate out of nowhere. Then they screw me from behind..

That's definitely the logic of DnD. Where were the other ones? Held back in reserve in... the Winterfell football arena? White Harbor? Their horses as well? AGoT Season 8: Who Gives A Shit?

There's maybe 30 columns of 50 men each in the photo. Maybe a few hundred dothraki. Sure, there might be a stadium full of unsullied off to the side for all i know but the photo is showing me around 2000 men. I don't think that's excessive when she left Essos with tens of thousands, even with half of them dying at Winterfell.

Where are you getting half of them dying? They made pains to show that Super Cool scene with all of Melisandre's sharp glowsticks going out, and we saw Jorah and a couple stragglers run back. I was having a bit of a laugh about the football arena, but it's relatively accurate. None of the Battle of Winterfell made a lick of sense, and it's pretty tough to explain even five hundred horsed warriors when the horde was so clearly butchered. If there were legions more Dothraki (and their horses), they would have been with the rest, being snuffed out, not held back out of view even when the walls were breached and wights were shuffling around the library, looking for survivors.

Just chalk it up to yet another complete dearth of logic by the showrunners.

No we didn't actually. We saw lots of them running back in retreat, definitely not dead. More were fighting inside the walls after the retreat. It is certainly plausible that many of them survived, though half seems a stretch.

I say half because I think it came up in ep04 and that figure was mentioned on screen. 

I'm also happy to believe that not every last man of Daenerys's army was at Winterfell. What seemed to transpire in the dragon pit last season gave the impression that they would be but surely she left forces to guard strategic positions and maintain law and order in areas she believed to be under her control.
