re: Game of Thrones S6 E8 "No One" (Bookreader Thread) NO SPOILERS

HR knows, I just have to believe when Ned made it back to winterfell he would have confided at that time to Benjen, seeing how Lyanna was also his sister.

Just another crackpot theory but it isn't a stretch IMO.

I could see it going either way.

I agree. I believe that, for literary purposes, she will be directly responsible for it. She had little culpability for the others and, keep in mind in the books, Myrcella is not quite dead, just maimed - a fact Cersei seemed non-plussed about - in fact she was much more passionate about getting Ser Robert Strong (Clegane) placed on the Kingsguard than she was concerned about Myrcella's health when she found out about it from Kevan, right before the walk of atonement.

Blackfish: "Died while fighting" 

Lazy IMO

Sure to some extent. But the actor is an old man and probably couldn't move around all that well. Even with a stunt double it would have been a pain to shoot and no one expected him to survive, including himself.

I just found it odd that we hear so much about the blackfish for multiple seasons - and then i can't really figure out what he "did" in the show except get Jamie out of KL.

or hell just show the dead

I'm kinda growing tired of the "is he dead or is he not dead" after every off air death

not sure if they were used in the battle of blackwater, but Tyrion found huge caches of wildfire under the city. Some of it was very old and it was told to him that the older it got, the more potent it became. indeed, some were too volatile to move and use for the blackwater battle. i think if the "rumor" is about wildfire, then it is these very old, very devastatingly powerful caches of wildfire that were intentionally not moved during the battle of blackwater. bad accidents will happen if Cersei tries to use it.

I think the rumor is about the Mad King hiding stashes of the wildfire around Kings Landing. That is what Bran's vision was about. The wildfire that Tyrion used in the Battle of Blackwater was from the stashes that the Lannisters were making...I think.

I am considering making a standalone thread, but I am starting to have concerns about D&D's ability to wrap this show up in a quality way without book source material.

There have been some bright spots this season, other part that are just very, very bad but seemingly get a pass because it is GOT.

And it isn't only the holes in the story itself (Arya brushing off serious injury, Vary's somehow not knowing anything about the Masters attack), it is the way the show is being presented and choices being made (fart jokes, pointless Tyrion / worm/ M conversations, flitting around between so many storylines).

I am feeling pessimistic.

pointless Tyrion / worm/ M conversations,

I am clearly in the minority here, but I the pointlessness and awkwardness of those conversations themselves have narrative value. They show that the Tyrion (and the Westorsi by extention) are different and don't really belong AND they are really just treading water and need to leave. Once they defeat the attack, I think Danys will need some extra persuading to leave (as she always wants to stay and help), and Tyrion may be able to be the most convincing.
