Giving everyone of your newborn sons to the army of the dead is pretty bad too

I'm just fricking with you.

"The Others are not dead. They are strange, beautiful… think, oh… the Sidhe made of ice, something like that… a different sort of life… inhuman, elegant, dangerous.."

Drogon was getting stuck like a pig and Dany take a minute and a half to climb the poor beast.

I was actually starting to feel sorry for him getting skewered like that. How did all of the seven kingdoms not kill at least one of the dragons from the original Targ invasion? Hell, it only took a few dozen masked rich pricks to figure out spears could penetrate his scales.

Sams dad told him he would kill him rather than let him be his heir. ...there was no greater good behind it. Just, "i dont want fat grandkids "



To be honest, if Sam was Ned's eldest, he too would not allow him to inherit Winterfell. Granted, Ned would have been more kind and let him go to the Citadel, but the Boltons, the Karstarks, and the Dustins would have eaten Sam alive if he were to be the Lord of Winterfell. Sam is good for counsel, but not leadership. His father instead should have sat him down and told him he needed him to go to the Citadel so Dickon could inherit. Randyll is sadly right that Sam could not be allowed to inherit Horn Hill, he just went through highly cruel means of ensuring it.

Stannis is still worse. What Craster did was more for survival whereas Stannis's motives were purely for glory.

Pretty much? Ramsay is now a charmer and a hero compared to him.

That, and he wanted to continue to screw his daughters.

Drogon is still young. The dragons from Aegon's conquest were much older

It's just the relationship between Stannis and his daughter that particularly irks me. Craster and his children clearly never had that. Stannis sacrificed his daughter that he claims to love brutally just for power. I really don't think Tywin would do it if he was in the same situation with Tyrion. That's how atrocious I think Stannis has become.

If Shireen had been an anonymous character like Craster's kids you wouldn't care about her either. That is the game the D&D are playing with you and the rest of the audience.

Tywin was going to let Tyrion be executed BTW.

So we are all officially off the Stannis the Mannis bandwagon?

And great episode.

I guess this means Hizdahr is not the Harpy?

And was hoping so much that Daario would take a sword in the arse.

Show is getting silly. It's like shitty fan fiction at this point.


I agree. You clearly see the difference in writing when they go straight off the source material and when they do things on their own.

They are starting to rely too much on action. The battle in the pits was kind of disappointing to me because it's become like a video game. Someone said in the other thread that it was the arena scene in Star Wars Ep II. The Sons of the Harpy and their stupid masks are so cartoonish that it's laughable. Of course, Drogon comes just in the nick of time to save the day. And why do the unsullied suck all of a sudden?

Death has become like a joke all of a sudden. The cost of life is like a crappy video game. Despite what the show thinks, it is actually a pretty difficult feat to fight and kill three grown men at once, yet characters like Daario do it in seconds with no problem.

I'm just starting to hate the laughable summer movie shite that Game of Thrones has become. I want a smart, complex story with unexpected twists and plot developments that you can analyze. Now all we get is this video game crap.

What is that supposed to mean? Yes I am attached to Shireen as a character, but that's besides the point. The point is Stannis burns his own daughter alive in the name of a superstition he hardly believes in, if at all, all in the name of glory. You could have brought her out there the first time, and I think knowing that he said he loved her that I would be just about as equally outraged by this.

yeah. I would expect dragon scales to be hard as steel.

If they could be pierced it seems that three wouldn't be able to take over the world.

. Also, the Unsullied are severely misrepresented in the show.


The first time they showed them I thought they were really small for eunichs and the best warriors in the world.
