About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that...
For everyone who thinks this was bad... I want to remind you that Cercei blew up a religious monument killing hundreds if not thousands including religious leaders and
some entire noble families while the king suicided himself from a window. She caused all of that and what happened?
She was crowned queen for this. There was no revolt by any regions enraged by the murder of their noble house. There was no uprising in the city for the dead mothers and fathers. No outrage that this powerful religious symbol was destroyed. No... the whole of the religion's power just vaporized. Poof!
I'm expecting the 7 people left in King's landing to name her queen and go about their business. [Reply]

Eh, I'm not even a little convinced that 'fire can't kill a Targaryn' is show canon. I think if you view the time that she walked through the fire pit as some kind of bizarre one-off when she was using magic and dragons eggs (afterall, it also hatched dragons), then Jon being burned when he rescued Jeor Mormont in season 2 works.
Let's not forget that B&W hate magic and mysticism - if they can make something a 1-time deal, they'll do it every time. I'd be damn disappointed if Jon suddenly becomes the unburnt as well.

Hell, what 4 or 5 major kingdoms probably have dissolved into pretty kingdoms by now due to a huge power vacuum.
The show runners and script writers have no idea how a medieval society would respond to that event but that should be pretty obvious that they did no research for anything [Reply]

It's just a bridge too far, IMO.
The Doth'Raki building also burned to a crisp and she walked out unscathed.

Ah. Makes sense why they stay in the family to fuck then. [Reply]
One thing we can all agree on; if you are a young girl in the world of GoT, never have a small toy of a hooved animal (i.e. horse or deer / stag) or you'll end up getting cooked to crisp. [Reply]

Meh, whatever. Wasnt' a bad fight. It's a TV show. Lots more that's stupider to bitch about.
Maybe someone raised this earlier, but WHERE THE ACTUAL FUCK did all those Dothraki and Unsullied come from?! Was there another set of armies that weren't at Winterfell that we were ever mentioned?
I would've thought a more logical explanation would be that the men of the North that were south of Winterfell had been heading south to get away from the Army of the Dead and they formed up with men from the Riverlands, the Vale, Dorne, the Reach and maybe even Highgarden to form a new army. Instead, it appears to be the same freaking army that I thought had been wiped out at Wintefell.
Did I miss something somewhere along the way explaining this?
Yes. They said half their force was eliminated. That was my biggest get the fuck out of here with that shit moment. Obviously the writers didn’t watch the battle. [Reply]

Viserys didn’t die by fire though. Thought it was molten metal poured on his head. [Reply]
Has Jon actually done anything this season? He rode Rhaegal and got chased around by undead Viserion for a bit. Gave that nice speech at the victory feast. Said "I don't want it" and "you're my queen" incessantly. Stood around while folks got slaughtered.

That pretty much cover it?
He is a beloved and respected leader until he isn't. His troops decided that looting a city that was collapsing and being burnt around them was more important than their king. [Reply]
