Jamie is seriously pissed with his sis, but duty to family and love will see to his demise defending Queen Cercie

Jamie is cercei's twin but also her "valonqua" (forgive the mispelling cheesy) and prophecy says she dies by the hand of her valonqua and that's why she has been so fixated on killing tyrion forgetting that technically, jamie is also her younger brother so jamie's hand is the one that will kill her i think

Little finger; the mischievous b@st@rd, always lurking in the shadows to pick crumbs of information to further his deceptive game. Pfft!

Given the fact that it was her speech that convinced the other houses to back Jon as king in the north, I say she is very mature. She knew she had to back Jon in the battle of the bastards because her house swore allegiance to house start (for houses that still knew what allegiance meant), yet she left enough men in her home to defend it. That's tact my friend. The fact that her people followed her without questions showed this is a little girl that has leadership qualities in her.
It takes something special for the words from a child's mouth to sway the minds of old men

This exactly the point.

She made a decision that would turn out to be a poor one. She put her men under the leadership of an emotional and tactically indisciplined leader in Jon Snow.

If it wasn't for the Knights of the Vale, Jon wouldnt be alive today, and all the men would be dead! It's not leadership qualities that her poor men are following, they are obliged to maintain that master/servant relationship...and I just dont understand why.

She's not the only one too. Tommen, Joffrey, and that boy from the Vale are all Children who don't know what the time is. Yet you had people blindly and unquestionably following the orders of these kids who don't even know what life is about.

A big no to supernatural. I grew tired after season 10. The producers say there is no end in sight. I'm tired of watching something that doesn't have a climax

Tyron used this wildfire to win a war

Cersei used it to kill her enemies. Now there are greater enemies on their way. She has used all her wildfire for the temple instead of reserving them for any unforeseen circumstance like the one of next season. There's no Great War plan and Gregor cannot survive dragon fire.

Cersei has just killed her self by herself

If that was the same Wildfire Aerys planned on using, it should have blown up King's Landing whole.

I mean, these are grown folk chatting grown folk chit. Should that tiny girl be piping up at the table simply because she's of noble birth?

Tyrion didn't win a war though. Tywin and the Tyrells did. It was a battle, not a war.

codedguy1:


she had just used Lord Baelish especially after she threatened that she never wanted to see his face again only to come ask him for help.

she has seen Baelish trickery and how clever he can be.

she now knows his ambition.

Right there and then his plan is being thwarted and in the meeting there is no mention of his contribution in the battle. For someone who practically rescued jon and his army from being slaughtered he deserved some acknowledgement.

so sansa's look for me when the houses were chanting 'king of the North for jon' was more like "in your face Baelish" but i need to be weary of this snake of a guy who would do anything to achieve his ambition.

The knights of the Vale were recognized. Little finger is not Lord of the vale

Guy, GoT is a great show but their time travel is shit. For example look at Sam's journey, had it been that they have more roles for him, he could have arrived the Citadel library since episode 3, but they delayed his arc because no real story on his journey. The fact is since season 6 they start placing characters were they need to be not accounting for travel time. We all saw the long journey Brienne and Podrick undergo to reach the north, what about when Varys and Tyrion were traveling to locate Daenarys. But season they just drop characters were they need to be, doesn't matter tge location, whether its far or near.

Yeah true. Asha and Theon traveled continents in two episodes. Arya as well. But Sam travels from the Wall to the Reach in 10 episodes.

.

The only reason her men listen to her is out of an obligation to maintain the servant -lord/lady relationship. I'm just baffled as to why.

Its a social contract. Like Guest Right or a Tourney or a Peace Banner. You break that and society succumbs to nature. King-Liege Lord-Vassal Lord-Serf. A lord offers his lands to serfs or vassals in return for homage, fealty, and fighting men.

It pretty much a certainty that Daenerys would ride on drogon, but who is going to ride the other two dragons?
According to a theory about the three headed dragon which we heard about in the house of the undying back in season 2

The House of Undying in s2 had no three headed dragon, nor spoke of prophesy. It had that deal with Pyat Pree.

She's not the only one too. Tommen, Joffrey, and that boy from the Vale are all Children who don't know what the time is. Yet you had people blindly and unquestionably following the orders of these kids who don't even know what life is about.

“Power is a curious thing, my lord. Perchance you have considered the riddle I posed you that day in the inn?”
“It has crossed my mind a time or two,” Tyrion admitted. “The king, the priest, the rich man who lives and who dies? Who will the swordsman obey? It’s a riddle without an answer, or rather, too many answers. All depends on the man with the sword.”
"And yet he is no one,” Varys said. “He has neither crown nor gold nor favor of the gods, only a piece of pointed steel.”
“That piece of steel is the power of life and death.”
“Just so... yet if it is the swordsmen who rule us in truth, why do we pretend our kings hold the power? Why should a strong man with a sword ever obey a child king like Joffrey, or a winesodden oaf like his father? “
“Because these child kings and drunken oafs can call other strong men, with other swords.” “Then these other swordsmen have the true power. Or do they? Whence came their swords? Why do they obey?” Varys smiled. “Some say knowledge is power. Some tell us that all power comes from the gods. Others say it derives from law. Yet that day on the steps of Baelor’s Sept, our godly High Septon and the lawful Queen Regent and your everso-knowledgeable servant were as powerless as any cobbler or cooper in the crowd. Who truly killed Eddard Stark do you think? Joffrey, who gave the command? Ser Ilyn Payne, who swung the sword? Or... another?” Tyrion cocked his head sideways. “Did you mean to answer your damned riddle, or only to make my head ache worse?”
Varys smiled. “Here, then. Power resides where men believe it resides. No more and no less.” “So power is a mummer’s trick?”
“A shadow on the wall,” Varys murmured, “yet shadows can kill. And ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow.”

Unfathomable:
Each season ends with Deanerys on a new adventure. Off she goes with Varys and Tyrion to give Cersei hell, too bad Ser Barristan isn't alive to see this.

Or even Jora Mormont, though I am happy for Tyrion, but Jora deserved to be the hand of the queen, tyrion hasn't really achieved any feat, Daenary met Meereen on the brink of defeat.

And thats what I love about GOT, it's so real - people don't always get what they deserve or hope for. The wicked usually triumph and the weak perish.
As Cersei put it "When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground."

Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by GuyFawkes: 1:40pm On Jun 28, 2016
Game of thrones definitely has a feminist agenda . It’s subtle but apparent”It does indeed, it is very clear in the books. George RR Martin is a self proclaimed feminist and tries to elements of it into most of his work. The three main take ome points from A Song of Ice & Fire (and Game of Thrones) are;1. Feminism is good. (cough… )
2. Monarchy is bad/
3. War is bad. All these points can be seen throughout GoT. I d find it funny that people look at the show and see Daenerys as the hero of the show (or books for that matter). When you stop to think about it she is one of the stories main antagonists. She is about to invade a country and bring unspeakable death to its people with 1. The Dothraki, whose custom is to sack and r@pe as they conqueror and also the Iron Born whose way of life is reiving. She also has an incredible entitlement complex, constantly claiming that the Iron Throne is hers by right… I’m afraid it isn’t. Your father lost it to the Baratheons you have no right to it. She is clearly turning into her father the “Mad King”. Evermore willing to burn cities to the ground not caring that those cities are made up of slaves and normal people who she claims to be doing all this for. Her reasons for invading Westeros are for power and revenge, not some noble cause. She once spoke of “breaking the wheel” by destroying the other noble houses in Westeros but still marches under the Targaryen banner, she has no interest of breaking the wheel, she just wants to be the only spoke left in the wheel. We have also seen over and over that she is a fantastic conqueror but a terrible ruler. Unable to rule 3 cities in Slavers Bay so how she expects to rule 7 kingdoms is beyond me.So for someone who is so opposed to the needless slaughter and r@pe of small folk she is about to become the main instigator to feed her need for power.
