Game of Thrones Seasons 7-8
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 future us, 2015 thread is here: Link Last edited by keg in kc; 06-21-2017 at 10:48 AM.. |

Look here pencil neck. Don't come here taking out your real-life insecurities. You talk to people like the insufferable little **** you are and make it worse by being wrong half the time. It grows tiresome.

Episode 1.2 is amazing.
You can see all of the shit Jon is going through. His Stepmother HATES his guts, and Ned has to sit and watch it all while knowing the truth. Ned Stark tells Jon Snow when the are leaving,"Next time we meet, I'll talk to you about your mother" They will never meet again. |

We probably have, what, 8 of those White Walkers left? And let's just say 100K of the walking dead. So he sends 10K per with ihs 7 remaining 'generals' and keeps 30K and the dragon back in reserve around him. So getting to him is pretty damn tough in its own right. And now you have a 'viral' effect of a spread out army that can continue to reinforce itself via reanimating its dead. |

Adam Whitehead just summed this season up pretty perfectly for me on his blog:

I figured Ghost MUST be dead. How the hell did Jon not take him North of the Wall when he went? Did he not die when Jon got knifed by the Crows? I mean, I don't think we saw him even once all year, which is crazy. Nymeria, yes, but not Ghost? WTF? |

Ghost was in the room when Melisandre resurrected Jon. Def not dead.

So, I would imagine that the big victory is some impossible deux ex killshot from Jon to the NK. |

Lyanna was promised to Robert B. Rhaegar (not the Mad King, that's Aerys II - Rhaegar was his son/Dany's brother) was married to Elia S. They had two children, eventually murdered by Gregor Clegane. Lyanna and Rhaegar fell in love. Rhaegar had his marriage annulled (this is the only "new" part of this, as far as the books are concerned) and married Lyanna. Lyanna gave birth to Jon. This was basically all in secret. The entire war started because (almost) everyone believed Rhaegar kidnapped and raped Lyanna. And then Ned had to keep Jon's parentage a secret because Robert would have killed any possible Targaryen heir to the Iron Throne (just like he tried to kill Dany). Jon is the most direct heir, because he's the son of the heir to the murdered King. That's about as simple as I can go I think. |

We didn't get to see the end of Tyrion and Cersei's conversation. Some are speculating that Tyrion told Cersei to lie to Dany.
It's supported later in the episode by Cersei calling Jamie "The stupidest Lannister" for actually thinking the armies were going North. |
