Then I spit at the iron islands cause the naval fleet won't follow theon that I can assure u . Ramsey really did a number on him. Cause the Reek I am seeing won't even have half a ball to lay claim to his rightful birthright.

But I still hope Reek reedems his image.


Reek was castrated ...he can't lay claim to anything..he has no balls literally

they had better reach an agreement of some sort that doesn't involve him bending the knee or else I will kill him with my bare hands and this time, even the lord of light won't be able to bring him back.

he is the main bad guy now nah. What do u expect? In other news, i wonder why dany didnt just march straight to kings landing with her army and dragons...she would still win the war. I think tyrion is still trying diplomacy so his lannister line can survive and he wont be the last sha..look where that has left them. Lastly....BALON THE DREAD!!

Yes Tyrion gave her this silly notion not to be queen of the ashes blah blah blah , though clever but we can see the plan Tyrion mapped out being dented by that crazy euron. Hence bringing what the queen of thorns said be a dragon.

I know they are trying to display gender equality, but they kind of overdo it sometimes. It's more like they are demasculinizing the men in favor of the women.

Lets just be objective here. Meera is portrayed as a strong woman who protected a cripple Bran(male) from white walkers, fed him and pulled him on a wodden bed for months.

Brienne is portrayed as a powerful warrior who has fought against three of the most skillful warriors in Westeros: Loras, Jamie and Sandor, all male. And she defeated all of them in single combat. She even held Jamie as prisoner for weeks. She also ended the life of Stannis.

Most of the Theon scenes with his Sister sort of makes my claim valid. The one when he was standing in front of Dany with his sister in episode 9 of season 6 was cringy for me. The grin on Dany's face. Sigh. Then you have the scene in the previous episode with Ellaria bossing him around. Lol.

Then there is Lady Lyanna Mormont talking down harshly at older men, all the time.

Currently, all the shows powerful characters are all female, except Jon. The males are subservient to them. It's like they killed off all the men, or cut off their balls, or sent them on long errands so that the women would occupy positions of power.

Maybe I am over thinking this, but it just seems too over the top for a show set in medieval times.

I have no qualms with trying to portray women as powerful and strong and capable. My only issue with it is when it's being done at the expense of men. I have seen this theme in Nickelodeon shows, cartoons and certain aspects of pop culture. It plays neatly into some of the supported theories that I harbour.
i thought I was the only one that noticed this this. I was discussing this issue with my girlfriend and she was like that's how its supposed to be na.

What you just said is the only loop hole in my argument, which i acknowledge. But if what I claim is right, and if the over the top mainstream feminism in the later, MORE POPULAR episodes is intended and systematically incorporated into the show in order to further an agenda, then your argument is just an intelligent diversion. More like a subtle excuse. It's like wanting to kill someone but in other to kill him, you have to create an excuse or allowance. So you hypnotize him to attack you, then you kill him in self defense.


Your argument is that writers are "fan servicing" the feminist agenda, yes?

the Prince that was promised is trying to come up with a way to save the living from the night king and the army of the dead and all those two power drunk queens are interested in is for him to come over and bend the knee. I was a big fan of queen daenerys until she made that statement.

I certainly hope yara isnt dead. Her character trait is unique not to talk of her undying love for her brother. Also, bisexual ladies are a turn on! Euron on the other hand is a mad man. His lines are epic! What a tag team he would have made with ramsey and aegon if they all met

@bolded, hot bisexual ladies are a turn on. Not Yara. Jeez. I can watch Indira Varma have sex with any attractive Bisexual woman, but please not Yara.

Joffery made the same statement all the time. As did Renly. . . .is there a problem with that statement suddenly?

when deanerys agreed that they should send a Raven north to summon Jon, I was happy that they would finally meet. then suddenly she pissed me off by concluding "and bend the knee " I was disappointed and I think the little man was too.

yes. the red priestess has already told deanerys that both she and Jon has roles to play in the great wars to come. instead of she to treat him with respect, she wants the king in the north to come over and bend the knee. she should have even ride north to meet him self.

imagine one of those stupid sand snakes saying they should give her the mountain to fight and yet she couldn't even defeat euron who is afraid of the mountain.


Euron defeated them because of storyline.

The sand snakes can beat Euron not by strength but guile, but do you think defeating Euron will make the show continue?

I see your point. But I don't see it as compulsion or forced, I think it is very natural coupled with a lot of character development for the female characters by the writers.

I mean these ladies have been sold(in marriage) by men who claimed to care about them, take Cersei, then Dany and of course Sansa. . .who was raped! (And the whole scene was made more about Theon than the girl being raped) they've met terrible monsters disguising as men.

They've developed from puppets to masters of the game. They let the sexist bastards slaughter each other in the War of the Five Kings, and now it's time for the Queens to battle. cool

Even if it's fan-servicing, it's well deserved. Women need to be potrayed as power hungry badasses on GOT too. Let them shine.

To her there's no King in The North. Acknowledging him as King and talking to him as an equal means she's granting the North independence.

Was that what Aegon, the conqueror did when he conquered Westeros with his three dragons and Sister-wives? Fùck no!

Dany wants to rule the Seven Kingdoms, unite all seven great houses under her rule, she cannot call Jon king, his proper title should be "Warden of the North" (at least to her) lipsrsealed

U guys on this thread are funny. First and foremost, i didnt think unsullied meant virgin in the GOT context until i saw this episode 2. Well, missandei will really be hurt when greyworm dies. Secondly, dany will take rash decisions now that her plans have been partially foiled by euron. I am guessing she will ride into battle after seeing jon and lose one of her dragons that will now be turned to a walker. Sansa on the other hand must resist temptation! Baelish is the devil and i cant say who i despise more between himself and varys

Unsullied doesn't mean virgin.

The unsullied were emasculated.

They have no pecker

you seem not to understand my point do you? dany was more interested in Jon coming over to worship her as queen instead of discussing the prophecy. that is what is paining me. I had high respect for her until that moment. I guess she is a little bit like her father the mad king.

When Euron easily defeated two female warriors and displayed their bodies for all to see, and captured 3 others in order to humiliate them first before they are killed, was that part of the over the top feminism you're complaining about? Or is the fact that every attractive adult actress on the show must show her boobies part of the feminism?

What I've noticed is that they are setting up a battle of the queens, and I quite like it. The kings destroyed each other earlier, and now the queens are trying to do the same. And when they are done, the white walkers will kill the survivors.

Boss I get ur point..
Bt u'll agree that most of d men were portrayed with some kinda flaw...
Robert was a drunkard n a licentious oaf ..
Renly well we all knw he was a ginormous coward,
Stannis was a kinslayer ,
Geoffrey a sadist,
Ramsay a sociopath who rapes innocent little gals ,
even d Kings in Dorne was some weakling on a wheelchair who was usurped by women n many more..

Bt d women r mainly presented as some kinda brave goddesses..
Daenerys d breaker of chains,
Arya d dispenser of justice,
Yara the fearless leader of men n so on...

I dnt knw of U've noticed sir.. Bt dis goes beyond GOT.. in GREY ANATOMY basically any person of importance frm d Chief all d way to d Heads of d different depts r women.. yl d guys av bn reduced to surface figures..

it's OK to show women In positions of power Bt wen u doing it at d expense of d men it sets a bad precedence...

I'll luv to see d war if the Queens tho!!!grin..

And she should care about the prophesy because?

As far as we know, she's never heard of WW or how harsh winters in the continent could be. Her sole aim of invading Westeros was to re-conquer it, which she's working on btw.

Suddenly this foreigner comes bearing a prophesy she's never heard of and you expect her to abandon her own quest?

Let Jon visit and bend the knee then they can discuss the Night King. cheesy
