Ramsay really did a number on Theon. That nigga now a coward!!
Euron on the other hand na mad man. Nobody saw that attack coming. They never experedit!!!
What did you want him to do fight and die? Euron already had Yara, any wrong move by Theon he would have slit her throat. He had two options fight and definitely condemn Yara to death with himself dieing as well or being captured. OR living to fight another day.

There was nothing he could do, all his men were dead. If na you which choice you for make abeg cut the guy some slack ni.

Nonsense predictions as usual. Why would Sansa lead an army against the WhiteWalkers? How is that plausible. Olodo. If you want to think out loud at least think out something that makes sense.

Three "Dorne ladies" didn't die. Only two did. The third was captured alive with her mother. Olodo. And the three "Dorne ladies" are called Sandsnakes. Olodo.

It's Dothrakis. Olodo.

So you believe Dany would just leave her quest for the Iron throne and go to the north with Jon Snow to fight white walkers? Olodo. Chai. You never fail to dissapoint.
Lol chai, you just brutalized this guy grin grin

PoliticsBegin Process Of Removing President Buhari Or We Will Take Over... by Sultan5(op): 8:46am On Jul 20, 2017
A pro-democracy group, under the aegis of Concerned Nigerians, has threatened to begin a daily sit-in at the National Assembly if the legislators fail to begin the process of removing President Muhammadu Buhari.

THEWILL recalls that Buhari left the country for the London on May 7 to continue medical treatment for an undisclosed ailment and has not been seen in public since then.

In a statement issued on Wednesday and signed by Deji Adeyanju, convener of Concerned Nigerians, the group asked the National Assembly to invoke section 144 sub section 4 of the Nigerian constitution and direct the setting up of a medical panel to ascertain whether the President is incapacitated.

“Today – July 19th, 2017 marks 72 days of President Muhammadu Buhari’s absence from his office as president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and from the country as a whole on a medical vacation to the United Kingdom,” it said.

“During this period, he has not made any public appearances either in London or in Nigeria and has only allegedly clandestinely communicated with very few people and an infamous voice note spoken in Hausa language wishing Nigerians happy Eid.

“Furthermore, details of President Buhari’s health status have been kept away from the generality of Nigerians while his media team and other members of his cabinet/party make conflicting comments regarding his health.

“As at the time of this statement, no one including members of his party as admitted by Bolaji Abdullahi the spokesperson of his party knows the true medical condition of the president’s health.

“We acknowledge that during this period, President Buhari has satisfied constitutional requirements by transmitting letters to the national assembly handing power over to his Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, on an acting capacity.

“The Acting President has not been able to exert political will and is being continuously subdued by the antics of the cabal around the ailing president. The same cabal that has kept the president away from the country without any explanation.

“We also recognise the failure of the Leadership of the national assembly in launching an investigation or setting up a panel to look into the true status of the President’s health as we believe that they have been compromised and working with the cabal against the Nigerian people.

“The Leadership of the National Assembly must choose between the Nigerian people and the cabal. 72 days is too long for a commander-in-chief to be away from his country without any explanation to the people that voted him.

“If the President has become incapacitated, he should do the honourable thing and resign. President Buhari cannot continue to hold the country to ransom. Nigeria must move forward with or without him.

“We hereby demand that the National Assembly invoke section 144 sub section 4 of the Nigerian constitution and direct the setting up of a medical panel in conjunction with the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo to ascertain whether the President is incapacitated.

“This medical panel will be a team of five doctors from which one of them will be the personal physician of the president while the other four will be appointed by the Senate President.

“If the president is found with any infirmity that renders him incapable of discharging his duties, the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall officially declare him incapable of discharging his duties and declare his office vacant as prescribed in subsection 2 of section 143.

“To this end, if the Legislature fails to act, we will commence a daily sit-in at the national assembly on from the 90th day of President Buhari’s absence from the country.”

Well, there is a thing in war they call "tactical retreat" and Dragonstone was the place for Stannis. He also went into Battle of the Blackwater almost certain of victory but when he lost where did he retreated to to re-strategise? As I already mentioned, Stannis is one of the finest commanders in the Kingdom. If he didn't make that mistake during the battle of blackwater (which he was more confident of winning), why would he later (when he was even less confident)?

@Gbola5, thanks for the correction. No horn whatsoever (either Dragonbinder or Joramun's) was mentioned on the show. We only know that there was a horn along with the dragonglass found at the Frostfangs.
At the Battle of blackwater, did Stannis take his family with him? Nope because he wasn't relocating he was attacking. But when he headed north, he relocated taking everything and everyone with him hence him trying to set up shop north.

Concerning retreating, he had the wall to retreat to. The men of the nights watch would have definitely harbor him thats why Davos adviced him to leave his daughter there before going to attack Ramsey.

Besides looking at the map Dragonstone is very far from the north and hence not a feasible location for a retreat. You can't expect him and his weakened army to make such a long journey back in dangerous roads. Unlike the battle of blackwater where all he needed was to turn his ships around and head back into safe waters.

As you said Stannis was a fine strategist, he saw all this factors and decided its best to abandon Dragonstone.
TV/MoviesRe: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Sultan5(m): 4:26pm On Jul 19, 2017
Santino1:
Have you been following GOT subtleties at all? Just to recap. Most of loyal Stannis' soldiers perished at the Blackwater. Majority of the forces he went up north with are sellswords (bought after Ser Davos got that loan from the Iron Bank of Braavos). You've been saying his men deserted him which is not 'totally' true. The sellsword part of his force deserted him (surprised? not really. That what sellswords do). To further illustrate the point. Go and watch the scene of the fight between Stannis and Ramsey again, you'd see clearly he had more than a thousand men in that fight (which happened after the desertion).

So yes. I still believe a war strategist like Stannis (reputed to be one of the finest commanders in Westeros) wouldn't have left Dragonstone unammned.
I believe Stannis wanted to set up shop north so there wasn't really any reason to leave a garrison at dragonstone since he needed every man he could spare. He didn't plan on returning there for a while so I see no reason to protect it and it didn't seem anyone else was particularly interested in taking it.

I thought about this too but don't forget that game of thrones time lines are not concurrent.

It would have probably taken an assassin more time to get there than dany.

Also, an assassin won't really do any good against an army.

And lastly,

My thoughts exactly wink
TV/MoviesRe: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Sultan5(m): 8:26am On Jul 19, 2017
Seun:
I think Arya's genocide of the Frey men was too easy. There should have been a couple of men who didn't take the drink for one reason or the other, and she should have had to fight them with some difficulty. She should not have been able to stroll away casually without any care in the world.

Also, smiling after killing people is not appropriate or normal unless Arya is a total sadist or psychopath like Ramsay, which is not consistent with her next scene with the Lannister soldiers. That's just terrible acting. Sophie Turner (Sansa) knew not to smile after killing Ramsay #GoodActor.

I thought Dany's takeover of Dragonstone was also too easy. How could such a valuable fortress have remained vacant decades after the Targaryans were defeated? How could it be in such good condition after decades of not being used? There was no payoff for the suspense we experienced when they were moving in. Also, why didn't the guards walk with Dany to protect her and why was their stupidity not punished, in GoT fashion?


Dany looked as if she was posing for the camera while experiencing neck pain and constipation in one of the her shots. Sigh. Acting lessons needed.

The scene with Cersei, Jaime and Euron was brilliant. I rewatched it a couple of times. The actors and everyone incvolved did a good job. I hope Emilia Clarke (Dany) and Maisie Williams (Arya) were taking notes. I love them, but their acting ...

I think Sansa thinks Littlefinger's primary motivation is that he wants her in his bed, and that may be a mistake. He is intentionally giving her that impression. Littlefinger wants power more than he wants to smash Ramsay's widow. She is only useful to him as a key to the north. She shouldn't forget what he did to her aunt.
Dragonstone wasn't abandoned it was occupied by Stannis. So the fact that its still in good condition is because it was only just vacated recently when Stannis took all his forces and headed north.

Dany's guards did walked with her although they gave her space at times they were there non the less.

On why their stupidity was not punished well you have to ask the Lannisters. They knew she was coming, they(at least Jaime) knew where she would hit land when she arrived. So why didn't they send assassins?

GagaBoy:
You are forgetting what sansa said which is He should have rewarded those who fought besides him which is way better than saying "hell if you rebel against me you will be killed but your family will be well off" when potential traitors weigh the consequences of their treason they will think twice befor thinking about it. Kind of how our politicians are looting because they just get a slap on the wrist.
U have a point no doubt. Yes potential traitors will definitely think twice if it were normal times. But this ain't normal times, Jon needs everyone to band together against the white walkers. He can't afford a weak link because he will surely call on the Kastarks and co when the white walkers comes. He needs them wanting to fight not being forced into it making them a wildcard. And in battles it just takes a few soldiers not doing their jobs to turn the tide.

The key point here is unity. If it were normal times without the looming threat of the White walkers. I would definitely 100% agree with you. Remember almost all houses betrayed the starks, it wasn't until Jon went begging or should I say demanding that they return back.

I mean they had a strong start with Arya SCALPING the Freys right off the bat, but after all it went downhill tbh. Jon was SO annoying this episode. "Stop undermining me!!!111!!!11!" Like... mother****er, you couldn't handle leading the like 20 people that makeup the Watch and ended up getting killed while Sansa managed to survive like 5 seasons of King's Landing, including both Joffrey AND Ramsey aka the most psycho mother****ers this show has had. Of course she gon know more than you. Learn ya place.

Also what the actual **** was that montage with Sam? I don't even know why they give that fat **** so much time. I don't even know what was more disgusting, the **** he had to clean or the fact that he took up so much valuable screentime. Hope the White Walkers eat his assn (but it's probably too ****ing disgusting for even them). Can't wait to see his hot brother again

8GUeqO8.gif

Oh and the Ed Sheeran cameo was a crock of **** too

8GUeqO8.gif

Perched for next ep tho
I feel Jon made the right decision and those Kastark and whatever will be even more loyal than than before. Sansa's opinion was basically what Cercei would have done. But that would have created a faction against Jon, however small. Jon needs a united north and this decision just cemented that.

Bro sorry to tell you but the dude doesn't care how you see him. He has a very successful career, a beautiful wife, and a awesome job that pays him almost N250mil a WEEK not a year. So he could careless how you see him.

And one more thing, he doesn't need to learn whatever English football has to offer he is already a football legend. Whether he is better than CR7 is up to the footballing world to decide. Nevertheless bro he is a confirm dude making confirm money with his confirm talent.

The mom is worried that her daughter has no man in her life so just go introduce yourself, stay a night or two and that's that. If she ask when you want to marry her daughter, give her the above statement.

Basically just make yourself known to the mother and see what happens.
