After every thing that happened in the past weeks, he still started Young when Dalot was available

And how on earth is Lukaku benched in his current form
His favorite son’s are available. It doesn’t matter whether they are on form or not.

Are you a child of the forest?

Greyjoy ships and fleet are one of the best Westeros can boast of. Euron is a popular navigator and captain that can't make elephant-carrying capacity ships?
Do you even know how much elephant weigh?

It was just wishful thinking on Cersei part. Not going to happen.

At least Elampiro got his wish. Young is at LB today with Martial in his front. I can’t wait for the sweet collabo.

It so funny that cercei wants to have the elephants so badly. She was like,,,, since she came to me with dragons,,, i will show her my big elephants as well.
She was just being petty. How would they transport several elephants on a ship without the ship sinking?

I don’t want the vision abilities.. just the new personality

Cold towards everyone and non-emotional . Never smiling

That’s what I want
The vision abilities is what made him cold and non-emotional because he could see everyone past deeds and deeply buried secrets.

Whatever theory this is went down the drain when they had Ser Arthur Dayne wield two swords at the ToJ.
"I never understood why
some knights feel the need to carry two
swords..." ~ Jaime Lannister
Well the Sword Dawn is their ancestral sword which has been in their family way before Ser Arthur.

He might not necessarily carry the sword to battle.

jon and dany will also die, its their daughter Lyanna that will rule

show runners have confirmed that dany is pregnant, guessing its what she will use to calm jon when he reveals his true origin to her


every youtube channel on game of thrones


arrived at that conclusion


like i said, i dont carry talk game of thrones, i know how many gigs and hours i have invested on the story
Lmao.

The directors already said the movie won't follow the same path as the book.

Unless Dany will have miracle baby, she's barren.

What threat did they pose?
You obviously didn't notice that a few minutes ago, they would have killed Danny without a second thought.
They were literally in a battle field where people die
If you can't read and understand that context the statement you quoted was made, please jump and pass.

Dickon chose death by failing to bend the knee.

If you fought someone with the intention of killing him, he now captures you, you should know that death is certain

Giving them the option was even an act of weakness because they wouldnt have given her the same option if roles were reversed
Ok.

Let me put it this way to you, If it was a dothraki horde that invaded, would they take prisoners. No! They would kill the men and rape the women.
Deanerys didn't kill them immediately. She gave them a chance to swear fealty to her. This is like saying, if I let you go you won't kill me later. They refused, in essence, they were still her enemy and letting them go would have been a terrible mistake.

I still believe though that she should not have killed Dickon. A few days in the dungeon would have set his head straight. But killing Randall was absolutely spot on. He denounce Deanerys in every way possible. That had only one outcome
Well you are only buttressing my point. Randyll had to die with the way he responded to her but not Dickon. That is my stance all along.

If she didn’t kill them, she’s not setting them free either. They are her prisoner.

a noble who wouldn't bend the knee is useless


aegon the conqueror did it to good effect when he conquered the 7 kingdoms

he was burning people that went against him, compassion for disrespect is seen as weakness
Aegon the conqueror after conquering the 7 kingdom didn’t tell the Noble bend the kneel and die on that same spot. They were first his prisoner.

The moment they were defeated in battle, they already lost whatever crown they had, a good kind/leader doesn’t go about killing all those she already captured because they didn’t instantly submit to him.

The Tarlys were trying to kill her or did you think she went into their bedroom to kill them at a wedding?
Or you are asking what threat someone tryng to kill her 30mins earlier pose? Did they stop wishing to kill her?
The Tarly were soldier fighting for a side. Whether they bend the kneel is not an immediate concern. She had every right to kill them, I have no doubt about that but she was hasty with that decision especially with Dickon. That’s my argument.

She's young and no Aerys abeg, she's shown restraint with the kinda power she possesses. She needed to make a statement to be taken serious with.

If you check, she's not always the first to attack.
In War, you don’t go ahead killing all the nobles you come across that’s why there are prisoner of war. If not for Tyrion and Varys, that’s Dany will have become her father. Her blood too dey hot.

Immediately the mad king was killed by the oathbreaker Jamie who swore to defend the king, The Baratheons and Lannisters ensured that all living Targaryans were killed. Danerys and Viserys had to escape as little children to live. Did anyone give these children the option to bend the knee and live?

Stannis Renly and other Baratheons couldnt even stay close, Gendry who was even a bastard is barely surviving because every known Baratheons must die

Boltons wanted to ensure that every male Starks were dead and left to cersei every living Stark male or female should be dead some didnt even offend her

But a tarly who waged war on Dinerys, who just killed some of her soldiers was given a chance to choose life or death and he chose

How many people in the whole series were given such options?
You seriously want to compare the Starks, Baratheon and Targaryen with House Tarly, really?

As long as the male child of the Starks are still alive, the Bolton’s hold on the North will always be challenged.

As long as Targaryen are still alive, the Baratheon or Lannister claim to the throne will always be challenged

Cersei was the one killing Robert bastard sons. While Robert was King, Renly was in Kings Landing and Stannis was one of the commanders of the Kings army. When Robert was alive, no one was hunting down the Baratheon except Cersei.

So I ask again, what threat do House Tarly poses to Dany.

Lol, Prisoners ke, she's not held any.

Fact is; Daney didn't just kill them,she gave them a valid choice, they simply chose to die!!!
I’m not saying she didn’t give them a choice.

When she gave the choice, they were her “PRISONER” already. She had them as captives already, why was she in a hurry to kill them?

If she wasn't different


She will have flown her dragons and sacked Kings landing since


Jaime himself said it, that if she wanted she will have taken the throne since


Dany doesn't want to kill people
She wanted to rain fire on King Landings. Tyrion was the one that preached caution and thankfully she listened.

Dany has always been burn burn burn. She’s no different from her Father.

She is different because she is giving people options surrender and serve me or DIE

Did they give her and her brother that option?

She gave Dickon an option what option did they give Viserys and Denaerys?
Viserys and Daenerys are Targaryen, they have solid claim to the Iron Throne

Dickon Tarly of House Tarly have no claim to the Iron Throne.

House Tarly is not her competition.

When Jamie killed her father the mad king what did they do to her family? Why did she and her brother have to flee? Did anyone give them the option to bend the knee and live?

What of House Baratheon, how many of them are left alive and why did they have to flee Kings landing?
Dayo na.

This is different. The Targaryen were hunting because they are the rightful heir to the Iron throne and as long as they are alive, the Baratheon hold on the Iron throne will be challenged.

Cersei was the one killing all the bastard sons of Robert and it was because he wants his son to become King after Robert. While Joffrey and Tommen was still alive they still bear the name Baratheon.

The Tarly’s have no claim to the Iron Throne, they are not her direct competition in anyway. How is it the same thing Oga Dayo?

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?
But she claimed to be different from the others. How is she different then?

Bend the knee simply means surrender and accept me as your leader
They had already been captured Dayo. The battle has ended. Dany has won the battle. Killing Dickon was senseless on her part.

Ask yourself how did Tarly abandoned the Tyrell and went to fight for the Lannister’s. It’s not every time you burn burn. She’s a Targaryen though so it’s in her blood.

Actually, that is NOT the way of war.

In the heat of battle, ANYONE may be killed or maimed. But afterwards, especially if they put down their arms, the NOBLES are imprisoned in dungeons, the HEADS of the Houses (Lords) may or may not be killed depending on how stubborn they are (Lord Tarly qualifies as stubborn, so he will be most likely be executed). But the SONS/DAUGHTERS of the Lords are excellent bargaining pieces; no matter how hot-headed they are, if they are the ONLY son/daughter, then you simply cannot afford to kill them, else you will extinguish that House forever - and no, Samwell doesn't count as a second son, he is a Sworn Brother.

My point is, Daenerys made a grave error. If you hope to win people's loyalty, then you simply cannot exterminate their lineage like that. Tyrion said as much. You only do that if you want to rule by making them fear you, like Tywin did.
Thank you sir. The fact that the battle has ended and these people are Noble men calls for caution. Randyll should have died but not Dickon.

There is nothing like diplomatic strategy here. It is a game of power. For them to bend the knee shows that they accept her. They did not accept her as their Queen, hence the refusal to bend the knee.

What Dany wanted was acceptance which could make an alliance The whole problem was Dany use of words. It would have been better if she had say, Swear your allegiance to me.Obviously, they will bend the knee by doing that. .But she is more concerned about superiority than convincing them. .
That’s why I said she was more concerned with bending the kneel than any other thing in that particular scene.

If I remember that scene correctly, she started by telling them that whatever Cersei might have told them about her was wrong as she’s not here to destroy them and their villages and the next thing was “Bend the kneel or Die”.

Yes, Cersei was very correct about her.
