Gbola5: Dickon is not a great swordsman. He's the heir to Hornhill, and is not a slob like Sam, that's about it. He's no way near Jaime at that age.
Do you suggest they've met at some point ? Because why should Jaime remember his name ?
As far as respect goes in GoT you just can't call the son of a Lord just any name. (And considering they have never met before according to you, why did Jamie had to guess his name?)
Jaime shaded father and son there, except you didn't understand the scene.
adegeye38: I understand you thats why i said it was poetic justice
they had it coming
but still its begs the question
george rr martin the author of the series a song of ice and fire, the novel series the book was adapted from talked on the issue
WHAT IF THEY GAVE A WAR AND NOBODY CAME?
That's one of the fundamental questions here.
Why did anybody go to Vietnam? Were the people who went more patriotic? Were they braver? Were they stupider? Why does anybody go? What's all this based on?
why do soldiers obey dictators blindly and massacre there own people based on an instruction from a mad man? (like syria for example)
It's all based on an illusion: You go because you're afraid of what will happen if you don't go, even if you don't believe in it. (some of the might know it was wrong and cowardly and yet they obeyed)
But where do these systems of obedience come from?
Why do we recognize power instead of individual autonomy?
These questions are fascinating to me.
It's all this strange illusion, isn't it?
power only resides where people believe it resides
No matter how, i always look up to the examples of heroes that stood out and disobeyed such atrocious orders, people like Mohammed Ali who stood his ground by not going to Vietnam and was dealt with but came back stronger.
adegeye38: as a soldier you obey to the last order, they had no choice, but to obey
walder frey was a dictator you dare not go against his instructions
look at the lanister soldiers for example, that arya met on her way to kings landing , despite them being lannister soldiers, they were still normal beings and were hospitable to her
but still it was poetic justice, and they all suffered for the part they all played
.They knew what they were doing, Dictator or no dictator if you know what your dictator is doing is bad, you have a choice. Either to continue doing it or you stop doing it and face the dictator's wrath.
The Hound stopped at a point.
Some Nigerian citizens stood up to dictators, and some of them were imprisoned or killed.
My point is when you mentioned that some people felt the mass killing of the frey men by Arya was unneeded. NO, it was needed they had it coming when they obeyed Walder's orders.
adegeye38: she people she massacred were mostly frey soldiers, some people believe it was un needed, cos they were simply obeying others from walder frey, and that doesn't mean they support.ed what happend at the red wedding
though the scene was satisfying , arya is becoming more cold blooded
What are you saying?
They had a choice to disobey the order if they think what Walder Frey ordered is not right. But they did anyways, they killed their visitors under their roof.
No regrets bro.
She didn't even kill their wives and their children only the people that took part in the butchering.
favoured247: please how can I watch GOT with subtitle on my phone. I seem to struggle with hearing what they are saying. I simply assume. Please direct me on how to get the subtitle and be able to use it while watching each episode on my phones media player.
Go to tvsubs dot net.
Download the subtitle there then use ES file explorer to extract the subtitle.
stebell: After watching this E2 twice, I have come to the conclusion that there was nothing Theon cud have done, than to run and fight another day.
For once, I didnt believe he cud even fight like he did before his sis was captured. If you play the game of chess and your queen is trapped, you will understand Like someone said, we shud give him some slack.
I have been following this Theon/Reek argument.
I support the fact that he reeked out, why? Because he saw as Euron's men were torturing his sister's soldiers and he doesn't want to get captured and be tortured again like Ramsey did to him.
Another reason he ran off is because like you said, there is nothing he could have done except he wants to die. Because if he decides to fight Euron, Euron will definitely kill him.
But the look on Yara's face was terrific, Yara wished her little brother could grow some balls one last time even if it means he will die. But her little brother reeked out.
Its yet to be seen if Theon have any other purpose in the series again, and yes i think he does. I saw a picture online of him, Jon, Gendry and Deanerys. I think he will be the one to find Gendry.
Eberex: so now we know the gift Euron promised Cersie.
Yara is in for a deep shit with Cersie. Killing her daughter was the worst crime Yara can commit when Cersie is concerned. And her death woud be worse than our "shame! shame!! shame!!!" woman.
Do you mean Ellaria Sand, because Yara didn't kill Cersei's daughter.
JhyMedex: He shaded both Dad n Son ..Y'all better nt come here feeling like I give a rats ass abt ur fame... He put dem both down b4 picking d Dad up in d nxt scene .....
Hope the guy asking reads your explanation, cos you nailed it.
While the Mountain is being treated for his injuries, Pycelle and Qyburn discover that before the duel Oberyn had his spearblade coated with Manticore venom, which has caused Clegane's already severe wounds to putrefy horribly, leaving him in a catatonic, decaying, and agonized state.
nymphomaniac: 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
simi4me: 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?
Yonce: Everyone knows you save the best and most relentless villian for last. Cersei will get what is coming to her, but not today. The Lioness of Casterly Rock will fight many more battles before she'll be overthrown.
And mind you, Cersei will rather take her own life than gift that privilege to one of her enemies. . . but Jamie killing her would be the one thing that will hurt/haunt her the most when she's burning in the Seven Hells.
The perfect punishment.
Yes Jamie the Queenslayer killer of mad Kings and Queens.
GOTOlodo: You must have a VERY bad taste in women.
Continue cherishing Yara's face. You no see Dany. You no see Sansa. You no see Missandei. Even Cersie sef try. You no even see Melisandre, even though she don old small. Na only Yara you see to cherish.
Fück GOT, though i knew the sand snakes had it coming for them for killing an innocent Mycella. But when will see the end of Cersei for the atrocities she has committed?
And why would you build up Euron to kill those sisters? They sha want to make Euron into a badass villian, because i am sure Bronn will finish this rubbish Euron.
I hope this is not the end of Yara, because with the little screen time she has on the show, i cherish i face.
ADENIKETINA2015: Yes now. I read an article about his suspension from UI some time back. For somebody with such history you'd expect him to avoid unnecessary attention to himself. This is Nigeria. He didn't play his cards well. I'm sure those he fought for in UI are done with their service and the ones in law school he just finished "fighting for " will be graduating next month while he ends up causing his family pain and regret. He's not smart at all. Our parents sent/ send us to better our future not to be some kind of Martin Luther King. It may seem cowardice but I can't be caught fighting for a cause that will backfire at me while the people I fight for go about with a clean sheet. Na skool my Mama send me go. I can not coman give her headache.
This your attitude is why Nigeria is backwards today.
And Nigeria cannot be better with people like you living in it.
