He didnt have it coming, he didnt just do as he liked, blame D& for that. The Red Wedding didn't happen because Robb broke a betrothal. Betrothals are broken, its not the first time, better men than Walder have betrothals broken. That is like a cover up story and shouldnt even lead to a mass murder like that.

Gbola5:
Woah, i was just reading previous post, and some guys were trying to justify the Red Wedding. I'll have to say, their accounts were really short sighted. Really ?! They called it fair.

Gbola5:
A portion of scripted material, that absolutely makes no
sense at all and should have
never been created by the
writers to begin with. A bump
in the plot so bad that it kills any
suspension of disbelief the
viewer had.

They made Sam tell Jon of Bran, only for him to not speak of it again, plothole.

They do a red wedding, and then that's it.

They gvae us a Gendry, and then that's it.

They did, Sansa's flee from KL, to have her at the hands of the Boltons, when her character develops at this stage.

[b]Have been a GOT faithful since season 1. Its one series movie I totally enjoy.

But so far, I have been disappointed with Season 5..really it's a far cry from what i anticipated. The intense scheming plot to covert the Iron Throne has gradually lost steam.

.... The Lannisters are scattered with no clear formation

..... Stannis, the one true king, meddling with men of the night watch. Should be talking more about Kings Landing.

.... Khalesi has over stayed her welcome in the land of the slave masters. She has forgotten she is on transit to fight for the Iron Throne.

....The antagonistic pair: Littlefinger vs Varys, are disconnected.

.... Greyskin disease by stonemen is an unnecessary distraction.

..... You mean Jamie Lannister left Kings Landing @such a critical time?.. Sounds absurd.

.....Ayra, probably gone to learn some marshall art.. it's cool though..valar morghulis.

.... Where is Bran the cripple. Was thinking he is gonna be a major player by now. He seems lost with the 3eyed raven.

.....And Lord Commander, Mr Snow, really feels no need to avenge his family. Your father and brother were butchered and you're just concerned with forming alliance with the wildlings against the whitewalkers. Really, "you know nothing Jon Snow".

And it goes on....

I really wanna see a radical plot twist that will bring back the intense bloodthirsty politricks of the Iron throne.. cos after all said and done, IT'S ALL ABOUT KINGS LANDING. [/b]

Dgunnerz:
Whose arse is that?

Gbola5:
But they ARE making stuff up, and its leading to a lot of plotholes.

soldierdollar:
They call it jungle justice . why ? Because it is perpetrated by people living in the jungle ; hungry , unemployed ,angry youth .

Both the robbers and the angry youth are victims of unemployment

Awesome and wise? That's hard to see from where I stand. All I see is a stubborn man who is easily manipulated by a suspicious witch.

_{I really thought I was through with this Ned Stark argument...}

Ok, I think our problems lies in our definition of "foolish"; what you think of as "the right way" is actually what I think is the foolish way. How can you keep playing fair when your opponents are so crooked and malevolent, and still hope to win? You just can't! Its either you bend your rules, or you lose - or the less walked road, you resign and go home. Remember what Maester Aemon said to Jon Snow right after he was made Lord Commander: It is time to kill the boy and let the man be born. _{Although in the books, this was actually said to Aegon V a.k.a the Egg.}

So that's what I mean by Ned was foolish. Yes, of course, he did the "right thing", but was it the wise thing? He'd stepped up to the Iron Throne in Robert's stead and meted out the King's justice on Gregor Clegane (a.k.a the Mountain) who was ravaging the Riverlands bordering the Westerlands; this was right after fighting Jaime Lannister, thereby further incurring Tywins wrath. And then he turned around and further weakened his own position by gifting Cercei with the secret he knew. Naturally Cercei (who knew what Robert would do when he finds out) acted first and got Robert poisoned, leaving our dear Ned with nothing but a powerless letter to fight with. The rest, as they say, na story for the gods.

Look guys, nobody is arguing that Ned was not an honorable man. He was. He was a good man, and he was loved and respected for it. But he was singularly unsuited to dealing with power-drunk Lords like the Lannisters. Honor is an admirable trait, but sometimes it is wiser to be hard and harsh. What Ned chose to do was not wise, it was foolish.

_{….and nobody should drag me back to this argument again.}

kay9:
Mmm, well your opinions are yours to have.


Support Renly? Ned wasn't even in support of Stannis.

My view is that Ned Stark midjudged how dangerous and high risk the game he was playing was. You cannot afford to let your emotions interfere with your decisions in such a serious position - and that was what Ned did. Starks don't do that - they did not become the most feared Lords in the North by doing that. I think it was a momentary lapse in judgement by Ned; he had shown many times before that he was not afraid of making harsh decisions when it was needed. Sadly it was the mistake that would cost him his life.

pabloaimar:
VALAMONGOULIS!!! I haven't watch the season 5 yet due to my busy schedule, I just want to know what happened to the remainder of Ned Stark's children, Stanis Baratheon, and please someone should tell that Cercei Lannister is dead.

Gbola5:
They fight in formation as light infantry,
equipped with short spears, swords,
round shields, and distinctive spiked
caps. They fight fearlessly and obey
without question.

Gbola5:
Tyrion doesnt get greysacle. Some people are just immune to some diseases you know.

Gbola5:
No it is not. And Barristan is 63. And the sons of the Harpy aren't exactly these skilled warriors you see. They are just sons and uncles and nephews, etc of the former masters of Meereen turn against Dany. They do their killings at night and are cowardly. There's no way sons of the harpy can take out Barristan and Unsullied, one of the best Infantry in the world like that. Unsullied dont fight like that, they form groups and defend an attack, they dont seperate like that. If they killed Barristan its either for shock value or they needed people of the cast, there's no way his death serves to further any plot. Barristan the bold, killed in an alley in Meereen by sons of the harpy. That's what they've made of him.

I actually like the GreyWorm+Missandei pairing, after all nobody is unlovable. I think I now understand what he meant by being ashamed... See, he's supposed to be fearless even in the face of death - cos he doesn't have anything to lose, he's Unsullied, he only lives to serve. But then he develops feelings for Missandei, and now he's suddenly face to face with death and he realizes he is not fearless after all - he fears not seeing Missandei again, a very stup!d fear considering he doesn't even have the "rod and stones" to enjoy her... That's why he's ashamed.

Eeyah.

ApexTitan:
What exactly did Stannis do that won you over? Me I have little regard for him as long as he continues to be directed by the Red Priestess, she is obviously going to be his undoing.

That Greyworm romance still struck me as contrived. So our robot soldier in the moment of near defeat suddenly felt shame (that's what he said right?) that he wouldn't see the woman of his dreams? How unoriginal. Greyworm is like a dog chasing after cars, what he do with Missandei if he has her to himself?

Sam and Bolton's wife? LOL!

Gbola5:
He aint. He's a creature of low cunning. You dont call that smart.

Gbola5:
So was Jorah, and they didnt even touch him. It's just some people have a stronger immunity to some diseases than others.

ApexTitan:
I wonder why Lord Bolton allows Ramsey to carry on with his sociopathic ways in his presence. From all indications Lord Bolton still commands Ramsey's respect, all he need do is order Ramsey to behave or be quiet and Ramsey will comply. He takes no pleasure in Ramsey's behaviour yet he allows it. Strange.

Gbola5:
Gods, do you actually believe anyone can call all the maesters and healers in the whole Seven Kingdoms. You dont have to take everything seriously. As to why you think only Stannis, hmm.

Gbola5:
Like I said, "plot armour". Or that not everyone gets a disease. Or he was just lucky. Or maybe later it will show. Side note: There's a theory, Tyrion might be a Targ, maybe that's why( although i dont like the theory). Plus its Stonemen.

If you up to the task i don't see anything bad in that
