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.. |

So, Dragonstone is at the mouth of Blackwater Bay and basically can control the water routes in and out of Kings Landing and no one was defending it?
It had better be a trap or it makes Jamie look pretty dumb as overall commander of the Lannister forces. |

The Lannister forces aren't this huge ****ing army. They have to protect Casterly Rock as well as Kings Landing. They don't have the man power to cover that much ground.

It's like all off the abandoned castles on the wall. There just aren't enough men. The Lannisters barely have any allies, who would go there? Hell all of the people who should have control of Casterly Rock are all in Kinglanding.

The gift will be the sandsnakes after he destroys the greyjoy fleet. Which Danny doesn't really need anymore anyways, since her and her army has made it to Westeros.

Dragonstone is an island. Destroy the fleet and you destroy a good chunk of the army and leave the rest to starve on an island and Dany doesn't know a Davos Seaworth.

As far as in-world logic is concerned, like others have said, there just aren't enough men. They've got enemies at all sides.
For budget purposes, they probably just couldn't work in another battle that would have ended up as a slaughterhouse anyway. |

In a Wall Street documentary in front of a live audience, Christopher Farley Senior Director, The Wall Street Journal interviewed Kit Harington in advance of the season premiere.
Farley asked Harington, "Whom would you like to see on the Iron Throne?" Harington replied, "Tyrion." After Farley pressed him further, Harington admitted, "Personally, I don't really tell my theories about things, I think it could be...It's not exactly Tyrion, but I think it could be Tyrion."

Cersei should've been finding a loyalist to garrison Dragonstone - it's a plot hole. Dragonstone has been left abandoned for probably a year or more (we can't be sure given the timelines but we know that the iron fleet made it all the way around the southern tip of Westeros and found Dany. Meanwhile Varys was able to get all the way to Dorne and meet with Oleanna Tyrell since the Sept was blown up). There was PLENTY of time to get someone installed in Dragonstone. Send the Marbrands or something. You can jump up a minor noble house and give them, y'know, a castle and they'll go ahead and move. |

Better alternative would have been to knock it down or blow it up. Cersei destroys bigger before breakfast. Big thing is to get to that dragon glass. |

Sir Bronn of the Blackwater will be promised Dragonstone if he is willing to go take it.
