no way. Much like ants, its the butterfly's strength to weight ratio that makes it so effective. Additionally birds can fly because of their hollow bones. Judging by the crumbling rocks and loud thuds that these dragons make when they land, they do not have hollow bone structure. Which means they are labored flyers. Much more thrust required than a Monarch butterfly. Most assuredly.

I was wrong. I rewatched and the dothraki are with Dany on the ships.

She left the second sons guy behind in Mereen.

It's been what, 6-8 weeks of elapsed show time since S5-E10 and S6-E10?

i seriously doubt she thought tommen would die

tommen dying basically has removed cersei's last fiber of being from humanity


She officially has zero fricks to give. Same as Olenna Tyrell. Should be epic.

this was discussed earlier in this thread. the events in the west and the east have no bearing on each other time wise. the only thing you know what coincides with each other are Tryion ariving with Dany, and the time after Varys gets back from Dorne.

If so then who is her army on the ships, only the unsullied and the dragons?

Is that enough of a force in Westeros.


I'll have to rewatch. I thought I saw Dothraki and Second Sons on the ships.

God forbid i have a little fun and extrapolate on an idea.

Its like "dragons are mythical creatures, how dare you insist that they have the restrictions of other animals!!"

I have no issue with them flying all the way. Hell, go to fricking space and hang out on the moon for all i care, its a tv show.

But you CAN both simultaneously concede the existence of mythical creatures AND apply known laws of physics (as depicted by the show) to them. And its fun to do it. A little thought exercise if you will.

guys help me out on a few things

now with Margery gone, do you think she was playing the sparrow the whole time or do you think she really had converted? i thought she had an end game.


what does Bran do now? go sit in a tree? does he still eat/sleep/shite?


the old guy who the creepy kids stabbed, why did they want him dead again?

Marg was playing him. We knew this when she gave her grandmother the picture of the rose to let her know it was still her

I don't think there's any doubt she was playing him and Tommen. I woulda liked to know more about her plan and end game, but oh well.

is it carrying a coconut? Could the dragon grip it by the husk? . Or maybe, it's not a question of where he grips it, it's a simple question of weight ratios. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a dragon needs to beat its wings three times every second, right?

That was Maester Pycell. He was the longest member of the kings small council. He was on the small council dating back to the Mad king.

He had shown a good adeptness to adapt to other kings etc and support whoever would get him ahead.

This time he choose wrong and he payed with his life. He supported Tommen rather than Cersi and Cersi made him pay. Qyburn is now the maester and hand of the queen(Qyburn is the guy that zombied the mountain, set up the wild fire below the sept, etc)

Seems like the gypsy woman was right about Cersei
