Fuck all of them. I hope Arya getd eaten by a kraken. 

I wanted their planet to be round and she just ends up in Asshai and dies. But a kraken would be even better.

How hard can it be with this lot? Just throw a few whores Bronn's way.

What I wanna know is how Bran intends to assert his power as king at all. The Targaryens has dragons and lots of alliances. Robert had an army and the support of over half the kingdoms. If someone got out of line, they could take care of it.

But if Bronn and Edmure come to blows for some reason, what is Bran going to do to keep the peace? If Dorne decides to pull a North and opt out, how will he prevent it? All the people who might’ve made up his army seceded with Sansa, marrying him for an alliance is wasteful because he can’t have kids, and even the city he rules from is a smoldering ruin. He can’t even project strength symbolically, let alone physically. This system shouldn’t last a year.

Everyone must be made a buffoon to make Sansa look smart and badass. And yeah, this is Westeros 90210.

Reminds me of why I quit watching Vikings. Everyone had to become an idiot so Ivar could look like the smart one by comparison.

[ColonelKillaBee]

I stopped watching Vikings after Ragnar died and we were left with the two strongest female characters fighting over him after they refused to years ago. And the girlfriend for Lagertha thing.

Ruining her was the final straw.

What’s funny is that this would probably have ended with Edmure getting elected after all, since he’s the only one there who has been specifically characterized as caring for the smallfolk. Not that the writers would remember a detail like that. I’m surprised his character appeared at all. Who let him out of the Frey dungeons?

Was that detail in the show? All I remember of him is getting barked at by Robb, getting married at the Red Wedding and being used by the Freys and Jaime to get back Riverrun.

I could be conflating books and show, but in at least one of them it was talked about how he brought a lot of smallfolk into Riverrun when the Mountain was raising the countryside. And when he attacked him (and won) at the mill, it was to defend his people.

I just looked it up. It's only the books. The show only presents it as a stupid strategical move.

The books did too, but it was implied to be Robb’s fault almost as much as Edmure’s, for not letting one of his top generals in on such an important plan. Edmure saw a chance to protect his people and win a major victory in one move, so he took it, not knowing that Robb wanted to trap Tywin’s forces.

I guess with how bad recent seasons have been, I’ve got a bit of a rose tinted view of the first three. But even back then they weren’t perfect, and the handling of Edmure is a good example of that.

Cancelled my subscription to hbo literally a day before it renewed  close one

[The Good Doctor]

I’ve gotta finish Sopranos then I’m out too. 

[The Good Doctor]

Might rewatch Rome too while I’ve still got it.

That’s this month? 

Ok then I’ll keep mine until then. I thought the movie wouldn’t come out until later this year. Time flies, I gues.

Yeah it’s out May 31st!

[Celan]

Hilarious detail I learned from reddit. Grey Worm said they're going to Naath, where Missandei was from. Apparently the huge butterflies there spread a disease that kills all outsiders within a few hours. So they're all going to die  the first day. Death by butterfly.

[The Good Doctor]

You’d think she would’ve brought that detail up when describing the sunny beaches and whatnot.  

[ColonelKillaBee]

So, done on purpose or lack of research on writer’s part?

edit: I would guess the latter.

[The Good Doctor]

Almost certainly the latter. Unless Ms. Sandy was a rogue agent all along who's main goal was to get the Unsullied killed.  

[The Good Doctor]

Funny enough, there was a semi-popular theory about her book version that she actually is a spy of some sort, most likely a Faceless Man.

Someone went all the fucking way 

[The Good Doctor]

I'm wondering why they exiled Jon. Couldn't they just say fuck that noise after the Unsullied handed him over and sailed away to certain death? It seems like everyone besides the House Greyjoy was in favor of what he did, and who gives a damn what the assholes from Dickhead Island think anyway?
