Well she’s a crazy person so it’s not supposed to make sense. She snapped. That’s it.

But did she snap on her own or was she being drugged by Varys?

I think in the books, Varys will be a secret Blackfyre, as has been theorized. Maybe it's revealed that he also drugged the Mad King, and other kings he worked for.

He tried to drug her but she didn't take the food.

That was arguably my favorite moment of the entire episode. I dont give D&D a ton of credit on much, but that was brilliant.

Those 5-10 seconds were some of the most tense moments in the entire series.

Sounds stupid but my heart was racing right there. It was 8 seasons of build up to truly see if she was a good person and you knew that it was about to be decided in that moment.

Her breathing heavy, bells ringing softly in the background, annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd *she's a horrible person*

Words would have just ruined the moment. Loved it.


Yep. A one liner would have crushed the moment there. The build-up was tremendous. My reaction was "oh sh!t, she's gonna do it!"

On a similar note; is anybody blaming this on Jon? If he would have just tapped that arse this might could have been avoided. I mean seriously, who cares if she's your aunt. You love her, she loves you, get it on and it'll all work itself out after.




Danny just needs some D to calm her down.

Can someone explain to me whether Bran sees the future or not?


I think he can, but he has said he mostly lives in the past.

She mentioned to Jon before the attack that nobody loves her in Westeros. Now with the perceived threat of Jon having the better claim to the throne, she decided that she must take everything by force and rule by fear, otherwise, Jon would have the throne. In other words, if she can't have it, then nobody will. She told Tyrion that Jon Snow had betrayed her. Now she will attack Jon.

I just hope Bronn gets squashed like a bug. I was always kind of sick of his blue collar know-it-all bullshite anyway. If this story were true to its "realness," Tyrion would have gotten 100 men to hunt him down and string him up.

He's referring to Bronn in Ep 4 (and his overall condenscending shite-talking manner throughout the series), and we're in an Ep 5 thread.

Bronn has shite-talked just about every moment onscreen except Pod not having to pay for the prostitutes.

Are you fricking serious?

And logically, if I knew what happened to Bronn, why would I say "I hope he gets....." It's the last episode. Shouldn't I already know what happens? Dumbass?

Some goon on YouTube spoiled the end of GoT - straight up posted the leaks in an unrelated comment discussion.

Pisses me off when people do that.

Something something comments dark full spoilers

Why I don't read them, and won't read the Ozzyman comments either. And I guess if there are competing spoilers, I don't really know the main one for sure anyway.

YouTube trolls are the lowest form of life on the internet.
I would stay out of the comments of all YT videos until after Sunday night.

Might not be. The mountain survived multiple stabbings including one through the eye and skull.

He might walk out of the fire in S8E6.
