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.. |

They ****ed up by only having 13 episodes left in the show. Everything is on fast forward right now and it's just all running together.

Tyrion wouldn't have needed to know a thing about the gold stores, really. He'd have just needed to know that Highgarden was absolutely going to be attacked at some point and leaving a skeleton crew there was pretty inexcusable. I suppose the counter is that he couldn't have known that Tarley would turn on the Tyrells. Get some scouts, man. Pretty rough to get caught napping on that one. |

GOT has pretty much told geography and timelines to **** themselves at this point. As for shooting a dragon - what, you don't think it's easy to take down an F-18 with a hunting rifle? Yeah, the idea that this massive friggen bolt is going to be mobile enough to get in the path of a charging dragon (because a straight on shot is the only chance; not gonna hit one that is moving perpendicular because that's 3 dimensions you have to deal with) is pretty laughable. |

Basically, all of the main actors are paid an insane amount per episode, and HBO opted to pay for VFX and reduce the pay to actors by condensing the episodes per season. |

I think what pest is getting at is if you do that make it 3 seasons not 2.

So unless the iron fleet section that was carrying the unsullied was just a whole bunch of noobs who spent several days aimlessly meandering across the seas, there's no way Euron should've been able to run them down and destroy them before they were able to execute what appeared to be a pretty straightforward siege. Hell, Euron had to destroy Yara's fleet AND have his little parade into Kings Landing before catching up to the unsullied. That's just stupid. |

They made a point with the ballista to show it going straight in Balerion's eye socket, so that's I bet how it goes down. My guess would be Viserion bites it that way. Dani will be on Drogon and Jon may be on Rhaegal. |

Think I watched a Last Harpy or other similar YouTube conjecture channel that says the books imply Varys isn't actually a general Targaryen loyalist, he's a Blackfyre / young Aegon loyalist.

All the ships were in the blackwater so it would've been easy for Euron to spot Yara. (and likewise easy for Yara to spot Euron, but that gets back to how the writers have abandoned all internal logic). Then torture the shit out of the sand snakes. Granted, we're doing the writers work for them at that point but wouldn't that be the easiest way to figure it out. Or hell, just some top lieutenants on Yara's fleet (presuming Yara wouldn't crack). |

The time spent on Varys pledging his loyalty to Dani cemented that he was going to betray her somehow.

Varys' would be weak too. Olena maybe. She's played both sides before but is obviously not her. Sand snakes are too dumb to walk a straight line and the Grayjpys have too much to lose. A mole would make sense but I can't see it. |

Does anyone have information about the Iron Bank? I would use my dragons to burn that place to a cinder...and take their gold.
