    I'm a little worried about Jon's party comp
    five fighters, one cleric, and for the sake of argument I'll call Tormund a barbarian I guess?

    I mean, thwy are a bit weak on arcane magic.

    But a rogue would be useless, cause they can't sneak attack undeed.

    Who is the current Bard of GoT?

    And don't bring up the actual singer we've had this season. We don't need to start those arguments again.

    So smart money is on
    Jorah biting it and coming back as the wight that they end up bringing back so we get maximum tragedy with Dany having to see Wight Jorah

    the developing danearys/arya heel turns are SUPER GOOD right now and have far exceeded my expectations for this season.

    ive been watching the show up to date since S3 and I've never been more interested. I almost walked away from last season.

    I'm rewatching this episode and this manufactured conflict between the two of them is the dumbest thing
    I hope this dumb letter is immediately revealed as the cheap Hail Mary it is and Littlefinger gets needled

    My guess for the Adventure
    Berric dies, gets rezzed but Thoros then gets killed. Jorah survives somehow. The party needs rescuing somehow, maybe Benjen shows up? Dany?

  • MadEddyMadEddy Creepy house watching youRegistered User regular
    Benjen could go back with them! He's probably not enough of a murderous undead monster to scare Cersei into cooperating, though.

    I loved Arya calling Sansa out on her shit.
    "how could you even say that?" 'you're thinking it right now. You don't want to, but you are'

    But if Littlefinger hurts Arya in the slightest I hope the shoe gets canceled and erased from history. I hope (although they won't) it shows Arya knew he was watching her the whole time

    Current ep:
    I'm seeing comments that sam needs to pay better attention to what's being said around him, but like. What was he supposed to get from that?
    The information is literally meaningless until someone mentions that jon is lyanna's and rhaegar's son, not whoever ned fucked.

    Yeah, the proper response was:
    Of course, I'm thinking it. Because it could happen. That's life. That OUR lives, especially. Bad things happen. Jon dies and then I'm in charge. Do YOU want do it?

    Not what we got. It better be staged or at least not matter in the end.

    The information should be
    meaningless anyway since they spent the last two seasons throwing the whole royal succession thing out the window.

    Ellaria had no claim to Dorne. The Dornish lords should hate her for murdering the Martells. But she takes over Dorne.

    Cersei doesn't have a claim to the Iron Throne. Everyone should hate her for blowing up the Sept, killing a popular religious leader, hundreds of the Seven's devote followers, and all her allies. But she takes the Iron Throne.

    Euron was elected king of the Iron Isles at the kingsmoot and Yara is making an alliance with Dany to overthrow him against the wishes of her own people.

    Jon has no claim to be Winterfell. He certainly has no claim over the Vale men. He never even needed to convince people about his death and resurrection to explain how he can abandon his Night's Watch vows. But he's King in the North.

    So why would it matter who Jon's real parents are?

    there was lots of dumb stuff in the latest episode
    capture a wight to prove climate change rising undeath levels is a spectacularly dumb plan that feels like it belongs in a much stupider series

    Also I totally don't buy
    Tyrion's reluctance to execute the Tarly. Isn't execution the best he could expect given the situation and his refusal to take the black? Isn't that more or less the equivalent of a speeding ticket in Westeros? Where did we get this idea that Danerys is supposed to be a pacifist or opposed to the aristocracy in any way? it doesn't make any sense to me...

    As dumb as it is- what else are they supposed to do?
    The only other option is to try and crush Cersei quickly without losing any men/resources. Well, while losing as little as possible. But losing any is bad idea.

    They want to avoid fighting her altogether. As slim as that chance is this is the only way to get it.

    Maybe they should just blitz her and take the losses, but that be too messy they think.

    Blitzing is obviously the correct choice but my problem is more that I don't believe that the characters in their worldview would be so conflicted about dragon usage.

    There's NO WAY outside of some sort of lucky assassination or betrayal for Danerys to take kings landing without thousands of innocents dying. And what's more, there was no indication a season ago that any of the main characters were uncomfortable with the realities of violent conquest. Danys only claim to morality was her opposition to slavery, she's never claimed to be revolutionary in any other way.

    Now all of a sudden we are supposed to believe that tyrion and co believe she represents a kinder better Westeros when before I thought her strengths were 'not crazy' and 'will sort of try to rule justly'

    Go back and watch the first season. Arya and Sansa could barely stand each other, and there's a lot of groundwork laid for a deeper level of mistrust. Ned was only half-joking when he warned Arya about stabbing her sister.

    But a rogue would be useless, cause they can't sneak attack undeed.
    Bran is the party's Wizard, but he keeps showing up to the game stoned out of his gourd and he made Charisma his dump stat. I'd leave him behind too.

    ...shit, now all I can think about is GoT characters interpreted through the lens of D&D classes.

    If you go for the "high-charisma schemer and fast-talker" interpretation of bards, rather than the "lutes his buddies to better rolls" interpretation, I'd say Tyrion or Littlefinger.

    I mean, it's not out of character and makes perfect sense.
    Like I said last thread, they haven't seen each other in 7 years, when they were both very different people

    Kinda think the unlucky fella on Team Jon is gonna be
    Gendry. Dude was way too eager to join up and be a hero, he's gonna do something stupid to save someone and get all corpsified.

    That'll make for some interesting emotions when Cersei meets her husband's zombie bastard.
