Areisius Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 It's like watching a tournament and in the final the 2 competitors knock each other out and a spectator claims the crown. What in the actual fuck did we just watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Waste Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 1. How do you know Bran wasn't vying for the throne 2. Valar morghulis 3. I don't see a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apoplexy Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I have nothing nice to say about how things played out. The same outcome couldve been achieved much better with a few more episodes. But I have to say, I had always predicted that Dany wouldn't get the IT, with my reasoning being nothing else beyond she was the only person alive who was lusting after the throne since the war of the 5 kings.

We don't know if he was vying or if he wasn't. If he was, that'd be a pretty interesting plotline...that was completely off screen and never explained. That's why I tend to agree with OP that it feels like a spectator won the great game of thrones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RYShh Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 So Bran has seen the future where Tyrion asks him to be the king, how is that vying and not just accepting an offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After he turned into the 3 eyed raven he has been just watching everybody kill each other for Winterfell and Kings Landing. D&D have the nerve to make him say "what do you think I came all this way for?" WTF?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D&D made Bran out to be this cold hearted schemer which not even the most book/tv show savvy fan saw coming because there was nothing in the show to set this up.

TheNecromancerofMirkwood Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Actually, its not the spectators who won, but those OUTSIDE the tournament who came in at the very last last last LAST second and murdered the Spectators as they were about to claim the crown. It was so far outside of left field that the damn ball went out of the park, bounced through the parking lot, smashed a window on a high rise 10 blocks away, fell down an elevator shaft before rolling to a stop inside some sub-basement broom closet.

How do you know he didn't just see Tyrion's offer which Tyrion was thinking it when he was prisoner? How do you know he was planning that even before that?

Why he needed to work to find Drogon? And he didn't know where it is? It's not easy as you say. Bran didn't know they would survive or not at Winterfell, he said ''how do you know there is an afterwards'' to Jaime. He can't see everything as you think.

The Red Waste Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Bran/3ER is a network of supercomputers, he has access to a massive database and has capacity to simulate a near infinite number of outcomes to a near infinite number of factors outside his control. From this he can extrapolate the most likely course of events to produce the most beneficial outcome. I do believe he has been playing everyone, not for his own ego or anything but because logically he calculates King 3ER as the highest probability beneficial future.

He can't see everything as you think. Pfft. If I can read (and I can), howcome I don't know the entire Bible word-for-word? We know Bran can see the past, but it's obvious he doesn't know everything about the past. When Sam informs him Rhaegar and Lyanna were legally wed, he has to go look up a vision of their wedding. I'm thinking looking for Drogon or seeing the future is a similar process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praecautus Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 In the game of thrones, you win or you die. I think Bran was after it and manipulating things, but it’s not well shown in the show with the exemption of a few double entendres, in particular during the last episode.
