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.. |

Why did they have Rheagar give both of his sons the same name?

Time will tell when Jon finds out how he handles it. There are going to be many complications from this relationship especially if she gets pregnant (IMO not if, corn king fertility, this has all been foreshadowed.) Huge amounts of foreshadowing to how he will accept it, advising Theon he is both Greyjoy and Stark, as well as being asked the question "Can't you ever just lie, even once?" He might have a different answer when he knows Ned found an important enough reason to lie. I'm not inclined to believe Tyrion thinks he has betrayed Dany, but as Cersei says what would you call dealing with an enemy behind her back but a betrayal? In this case if he knows Cersei is lying and is letting Dany believe Lannister forces are coming, or if he is relying on Jaime to leave her and bring the army himself, he may very well cause them damage in the long run by holding out. He may have seen the wight, but he probably still thinks they have time and a wall to protect them and Dany believes Jon's urgency now. Last edited by underEJ; 08-28-2017 at 05:20 PM..

The problem I am having is Cercsi suddenly becoming competent. She is supposed to be a lot less apt than she thinks she is.

Do you really think Tywin would have let Dany flounder around in Meereen in Season 5 if he had been alive? While Dany had zero control of her dragons would have been the perfect time to hire a faceless man to off her. Instead Cersei was obsessed with a prettier queen taking Tommen away. She's taking advantage of the WW threat now, but that doesn't mean she has a good plan. Her scheming got her army gutted this year, and now she's putting her faith in the hands of kinslayer Euron Greyjoy. |

Assuming the model is a standard monarchy, the wife of a king is always a referred to as queen (unless your wife is named Camilla) but the title becomes Queen Mother (if the marriage produced an heir) after the husband dies, because the royal succession deals with bloodlines. If Dany married Jon, and Jon died, if they had no children she would become the true queen as a matter of succession. If they had a child, however, that child would become queen or king, and she would be the queen mother.

Ghost is alive, but he's at Winterfell and Jon hasn't been back there this season. He couldn't take Ghost north of the wall with them because it would have been way out of the way to go to Winterfell to get him when they got to the wall by sailing to Eastwatch and never went inland.
As for the end with Tyrion, if I'm being 100% honest, I think it was just purposely made to look suspicious byt the show producers in order to give people another thing to talk about and wonder about and debate until the next season starts. At the end of the day, there's NO WAY that Tyrion would make a deal with Cersei to betray Dany. If that's how it goes, I'll be super-pissed because that makes ZERO sense for Tyrion or for Cersei. The one thing I really wanted to see this season that we didn't get was a Jon and Arya reunion. |
