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...
Yeah I do kind of support the idea of not hinting at disappointments or happy with the spoilers or anything like that. I do appreciate the heads up though in knowing that they are out there. I will be much more careful with the YouTube videos. [Reply]
I was team Iron Bank... until the writers decided to ignore GRRM's canon and say they make profit from the slave trade. Which makes no sense considering the whole circumstances surrounding Braavos' founding.

They took all of the food from Casterly Rock when they went to Highgarden and most or all of the ships were sunk by Euron. However much of the army left after after will be forced to march on land to get anywhere. Even without a military conflict, that is going to be hard given no food. [Reply]

I think the amount of time between events is much longer than the show makes them appear little Sam was much older in the first episode than when we last saw him.
I do agree that things don't line up from a geography and time standpoint. I mean Jon got from Winterfell to Dragonstone in one episode, they asked him something about the winds which means he sailed. So he had to get to the ocean somehow and sail down there. Then unless Euron had already passed Dragonstone before Dani got there he would have had to sail by there 3 times. Once to Kings Landing, once to go after the Greyjoy Fleet, once to Take the Sandsnakes back assuming the rest of his fleet continued on to Casterly Rock. [Reply]
I don't know about you guys, but I don't want to watch them sail forever to make the timeline match up better. I'm guessing this event is what leads to the dorthraki and danny/dragons to mount up. [Reply]

I agree. But not to the extent that it crunches believability. [Reply]
As a simple viewer of the show who just started watching it about a month ago (I'm all caught up now), I like the speed. I'm sure I'll be revisiting the whole damn thing in the off season, and that'll help with all the names and places which are right now a blur to me. Sometimes they'll say a name, and I'm like "wait, who the hell was that again?" but I can follow it well enough and I love the show. Ironic that I'm jumping on board when there's only 2 seasons left... [Reply]

Not saying I want to see that, just some of these things you could indicate a significant amount of time has passed. [Reply]

And to think they excised a lot more characters from the novels in adapting it to the screen.
Spoiler!
It's a shame, too, because some of the intrigue about Jon Snow being Ned's bastard with Ashara Dayne would have been cool to have played out.

Her only accomplishments were achieved because she was born in the right family and had dragons dropped in her lap, yet she expects everyone she comes in contact with to “bend the knee.” The only reason Daenerys even pretends to care about the rise of the “Alt-White” Walkers is that she needs an endorsement from our people in the North.
Trust me, Daenerys Hillary Targaryen Clinton doesn’t believe that #UnsulliedLivesMatter.
