If not for Jon Arryn, I would have said that the Eyrie are cursed with childish, little lords. Could it be because they have their heads in the clouds? (pun intended)
Imagine selling your kingdom not for a dragon but a dragonride.

BraniacX:
it is almost as eerie as peregrine took's "home is behind" in ecthelion hall before the battle of minas-tirith in lord of the rings

BraniacX:
if the rumors are true, then in brienne the beauty the blood of ser Duncan the tall ran truest

Asked [GRRM] if he'll ever tell which character is Dunk's descendent. Got a rather acerbic, "I gave a pretty strong hint in the new book [AFFC]," to which I sheepishly replied "Yea, but I read it real fast, in three days."" I told him I suspected Brienne but thought that she was too obvious and that he'd be more subtle than that and he said, "You think?" Coy bastard.

Seun:
After he helps them to defeat the Night King and his sister using the information given to him by Bran, they will accept him.

Seun:
That won't do because the Lady of Winterfell needs heirs. Also, she needs someone who is intellectually stimulating. I want Sansa to get back with Tyrion. I think they bring out the best in each other. She will keep him grounded and he will teach her many things. They'll be unstoppable.

I'm also shipping Brienne and Tormund. His love is so pure . He didn't get jealous when Jaime got to 'knight' her. He was just happy for her.

The incestous relationship between Jon and Dany has my support. People think that Dany will turn against Jon because of his claim, but I think she will surprise us. Her original motivation was to restore Targaryens to the throne that she felt was stolen from them. She supported Viserys and Karl Drogo*, but after they died and she got three dragons, she had no choice to take the throne by herself. As we saw in Mereen, Dany doesn't really enjoy ruling. She doesn't have the patience for it. Jon Snow, on the other hand, is a great ruler. I think she will support him. The argument they had after Jon revealed his parentage was very mellow. She didn't threaten to roast him or even raise her voice. They'll be fine.

TheSTreetman:
You can still be strip off the title of Knight bro. If the King don't trust you or doesn't want you.

Refrence ; Ser Barristan Selmy was a knight who served in the Kingsguard with distinction for almost forty years. He served in the Kingsguard of King Aerys II Targaryen, and later served as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard during the reigns of King Robert I Baratheon, and, for a short time, King Joffrey I Baratheon. After his public dismissal by Joffrey (an affront, as the Kingsguard is an irrevocable lifetime appointment), Ser Barristan, free of any vows, chooses to serve Daenerys Targaryen.

Ksslib:
Thank you for this. It begins to put things into perspective for me.

I know those books are dammmmn good & detailed - one of the reasons I want to read all. However, considering the show is at Season finale already, do you think it'll be wise to go back in time & read them with all the spoilers I now know?

I'm still contemplating if it'll be enjoyable , without that anti-climax feel , since I already kind of know what will happen.

Has anyone here ever watched a Movie/show and went back to read the books and still THEOUGHLY enjoyed it?

ChristoBam:
It’s a song tied to Rhaegar and Lyanna’s love, to Jon and Dany’s origin, to the Azor Ahai prophecy , to those doomed to die, and to those who will live to remember them. That the song plays over shots of some of our heroes and the people that matter most to them—Sam/Gilly, Theon/Sansa, Arya/Gendry, Grey Worm/Missande, and, finally, Jon/Daenerys—should make us very worried for our favorites, and for the people who will live to mourn them.
Saw this on vanity fair and I think it's accurate, the timing of the song and the way some particular characters were shown while the song is playing points to a massive tragedy for those characters. That song is symbolic.

Ksslib:
Dear antispam bot, pls let me be.. Banned me five times within an hour.. wtf!!! Who else is experiencing this?

Anyways I absolutely loved that Jenny song rendition by Podrick. Had to download it on YouTube. It was beautiful.... and blended perfectly with the mood. The partial darkness in the chamber, the luminance of burning flames scattered across the room, the sudden dead silence, the melancholy on thier faces, the brief moment of self-reflection as his voice echoed in the background. Perfecto!!!

As beautiful as the song was, it made something turn inside of my stomach. Bad feeling. Very bad one.

It's a song on one hand but the moment you close your ears and start to listen from the soul it begins to sound like a prophecy. That song is beautiful & eerie at the same time. A radioactive mixture of light & darkness. The type that can make your grandmother appear from nowhere like booooom!!!

Who is Jenny? Is Jenny a pseudonym?

As if the lyrics wasn't deep enough, the camera kept panning to different characters as the song progressed. Each line describing the moment on screen - including this one - "Took away her sorrows & pain" as they showed a half-naked Arya - a reference to how Gendry's D1ck has taken away her sorrows and pain.

Then this last line , "She never wanted to leave" , coincided just as Danyerys appeared on screen and started walking to Jon.

Well well well...

Maybe there's nothing to the song though & I just need to tone down on the weed like some of you have advised.

Sasquatch:
What if the Night King is actually headed to Kings Landing whilst his army is attacking Winterfell - grabbing himself an easy million + extra wights?

Hear me out...

The Night King isn’t the traditional villain he actually has won every battle he was in. His extremely calculative when it comes to his every move, no move seems to be unplanned.

Dany:

Dany had a vision of Kings Landing in complete ruin with snow...the place was deserted, not a single soul in sight. Before season 7 I use to think that Dany herself would destroy Kings Landing because she said that she is going to destroy the wheel..

Night King gets a dragon. Changes everything.

Bran:

Bran has a vision of a dragon flying over Kings Landing - again, I use to think that this was Dany until he got a dragon.

Bran said the Nights King can see where he is, what if unknowingly to Bran he can also access Brans memories thus revealing their plans?

One dragon vs two isn’t a risk I think the Night King would stupidly take. It makes no sense for him to put himself up against those odds.

Thoughts?

AryaSand:
At least Northerners are Fine, Honest and Classy. I despise those Iron Islanders. Fine, dem no fine, Class dem no get, They are just brash and Annoying.

LeSulk:
I concur with you. Brienne is the most knightly person in Westeros. I was so happy for her. The reason the Hound refused to be a knight was that there were too many morally bankrupt fùckers like his brother that are knights.

Since there are Queens on either side of Westeros, her knighthood would probably stand. Though I see her unknighted if Cersei triumphs and finds out Jaime knighted her.

Ksslib:
I'll title this beautiful Episode - "The Concept of Time: the battle before the War"..

ntyce:
Knighting of Brienne was just an advert for feminism....

Nice scene though

kay9:
<Book 4: A Feast for Crows:: *finished*>

I'm really short of words... After the penultimate Brienne chapter where Brienne the Beauty fought Rorge and Biter, when she made that stand to draw away the last band of the Bloody Mummers from the kids at the Crossroads Inn, knowing it would be the death of her, I literally got heart-sick...

I think of the first four books of the series, AFFC is the most underated... It is here we finally meet a true knight but we barely recognize what we are shown because, surprise! the knight is a woman, is ugly, and isn't that smart after all.

Endy10:
The battle for winterfell will come next and I will fully enjoy it because the producers have properly built up my emotions to it. I'll feel sad when those I love fall and I'll rejoice when the night king is defeated.

That's how to enjoy a movie mate.

omobs:
Jon is really foolish, why can't he wait till after the war before telling dany that he is aegon

Ksslib:
You know, i kept quiet all this time and observed to see if anyone will get it but since no one has, and there's still alot of confusion, let me just put this mystery to bed.....

Are you following?

meforkene:
Thank you bro. You are one of the few that understand the effect of fans reaction on D & D and the series.

Fans reactions triggered the death and resurrection of Jon Snow; the total love between Jon and Dany(Jonaerys) and most importantly, the sudden character developement and forced smartness of Sansa Stark. Even the Gendry and Arya shipping on going.

meforkene:
Are we actually watching the same show?

Jon Snow bent the knee when he was really convinced Dany was going to totally involve in the fight for living.

Do you remember Jon's convo with Tormund beyond the wall when he cited Mance as a non-kneeler and how it affected his people because of his arrogance and stubbornness?

raumdeuter:
How many of thse courtesy did they offer to house Targaryan when they were eliminating them?
How many did they offer to House Baratheon?

All the people left in those 2 great families who once ruled all fled and are in hiding

So the courtesy that no one gave her Targaryan family she should gove to one Tarly family
Did anyone even offer her the chance to bend the knee and be saved when they were wiping out her family?

Semtu:
When did she pay for the unsullied?.. In your dreams?... Lol, if you have forgotten how it all went down, please don't come here and stay saying rubbish.

The Dothraki believes in leadership by contest. Was there any contest in this case?... The answer is NO. The Dothraki only feared her, seeing her walk unscathed through the fire while the other Khals were engulfed by it.

Elder0001:
How does being male make him true heir to the throne ? Is Danny not older ?

Danny is directly the child of the mad king .

Misogyny and patriarchy has taken over your brain

melodyogonna:
they fought a battle oga, she gave them a choice, that is the way of war. though I agree she might have imprisoned dickon and burn only the father.

alexistaiwo:
I was speaking within the context of the series.
How old was he (Joffrey) in the series?


I am sure that the devil was taking notes while watching the Ramsey Bolton character at work

Yonce:
Lmao
Jon specifically said she has three dragons.
Unsullied.
Dothraki.
All of which are needed if they stood a chance against NK.
If Dany was an elephant or a goat, he'd still bend the knee cause he doesn't want to be king.

Ksslib:
I also do not blame Tyrion. He had every reason to believe Cersei has a new reason to live for. I'm assuming she lost the baby at a certain point. That's the only logical explanation for the irrational behavior we saw in the first episode I'm guessing.

Ksslib:
Ha!! After seven seasons it's surprising that anybody would say this about snow. I feel like koncking your head with my valyrian fists..

These are characters we've grown with and should know in-out by now na. Jon look like the type who'll sacrifice duty for pu$s$$y? Bending the knee was essential for survival. He would have done it regardless of gender, race or class. If he suspected Dany was not capable, he would have still fallen in love with her regardless BUT wouldn't have bent the knee.

The Pu$$$y was just an extra package that came with the bending.

JhyMedex:
u said my mind bruh...Joffrey was such a great actor...I bet no one cos av interpreted dt role the way he did...U jst enjoyed hating him..Dude was attacked in public on more than 1 occasion cos of d vim wit which he portrayed the Jeffrey character..All doz times I had to rewatch GOT I watched him very closely n I fell in love wit d character eventually...Its such a shame dude has decided to stop acting entirely..rily a big loss..


Lena Heady is phenomenal...like she cldnt av portrayed cersie beta...I 4 one believe from season 4 she shld av bn winning best actress in a tv series 4 3yrs consecutively ...

alexistaiwo:
Ramsey is on another level of madness.

If Ramsey had sat on the Iron throne, the whole story would have long be concluded, no contest

Don't tarnish his memory by comparing him with that childish cunt.
