Game of Thrones Season 8
- Thread starter Gordyo5
- Start date
To me, it looked like they had maybe 20 people left, I guess some could have run away from winterfell, but I didn't see it. Some really heavy plot armor. they should have just had half the Army in reserve the twins or something. Would not have been hard to do, but I guess there is more tension if it looks like total decimation.
Tywin did it twice. House Reyne first and later to the Starks/Tullys
Reflecting on the Dany thing, I have basically just been fighting against the writing of her character the last 2 seasons instead of the points made by many here. We have 2 episodes left and I don't see any hope for her at this point and felt the character deserved more. I know the quote, if you thought this had a happy ending, you have not been paying attention so it's in the realm of GOT. It just bums me out that they all said the ending is bittersweet. If Dany turning heel and losing everything is a bittersweet ending, it just seems bitter to me.
I will say, I did like Sansa and The Hound's interaction, and the first part of the show. Just the way they are using Euron and the unrealistic weighting of the confilct for dramatic affect towards Cersei is what bothers me. She is an objectively terrible person and cut a woman's head off with a Zombie, and people want me to think Dany is the insane one. Come on, now. Dany has done good things, and Cersei has done zero.
One thing I don't understand in the episode; if Danny is so worried about Jon's parentage, why didn't Danny legitimize Jon as a Stark? Him becoming a Stark would then allow Danny to take the throne unopposed.
Also, she would be happy to have family whom she already loves. She is desperate for family which prior to Jon's reveal she thought she had none of.
Spin off idea: Tormund's Ghost adventures!I keep thinking about the "bittersweet ending" thing. I'm just spitballing here, but what I'm guessing happens is that it's a "happy ending" in that Cersei is ousted, but nobody is happy because they've lost the people they love most.
I am somewhat predicting Jon dies (either he or Dany is going to, there's not really a way to sustain both) - so if Dany gets the throne, it's bittersweet because she's ruling over a land where nobody loves her and she lost the only person who did. If Dany dies and Jon rules, it's him ruling a land he loves but doesn't want to rule without the person he loves. I'm thinking either Jaime or Tyrion dies, which will leave the other sad in the end. If Jaime dies, Brienne will be broken. I think Grey Worm may make it, but is sad because he has no Missandei. Sansa is ruling the north alone, Arya won't stay (if she makes it - I'm not sure she will, given her conversation w/the Hound). I'm a bit bummed that there's presumably no more Tormund, that's bittersweet for me.
Would she? I think we are starting to see Dany treat Jon the same way Viserys treated Dany back in S1.
Jon told her that he was going to tell Sansa and Arya anyway. Had Dany done that beforehand, Sansa and Arya would have seen it for what it was.
Who cares how it compares to what Tywin did, and who cares whether Cersei is mad or not when it comes to Dany and her story? I have no idea what point you are trying to make. None of that precludes Dany from also being mad or doing some very bad things.
Im surprised the Dothraki didnt show up, charge into the water and drown based on past performance of military leadership.
I’m going to miss Missandei. She had the best “assets” on a show full of good assets.
It's entirely possible that neither are good options to rule.
One minute she's on the boat, the next minute she is in King's Landing (Which just happens to be Essos or Dorne now, who cares about continuity from previous seasons.)
And it is entirely possible that one is better than the other.
And did you just "both sides" Game of Thrones?
