if it is just an infectious disease then there are a lot of variables. not everyone in the same room as someone with the flu will get sick. some get different amounts of exposure, some have more natural resistance, some are under stress and more susceptible to infection

it doesn't seem to be ebolascale

My big question is why don't they arm the Unsullied with swords?

they're not swordsmen. they're a phalanx outfit

to be honest, that amount of unsullied would have made the formation smaller and probably would have been able to hold off all those people

an organized, defensive formation + cohesion + spears would OWN untrained guys with daggers


Yes but the shields need to be bigger and use the Spartan turtle formation.

before even getting to this point they simply need to have more unsullied readily available. There are 8,000 right? Do they go into hibernation at times? Is it like a Walmart worker who wont come off their break come hell or high water?

Either I'm missing something or this is just a case of pisspoor writing used as an ends to the means that was Dany being forced to learn how to use Drogon.

What about the other 2? I know they are wild, but they are still alive and chained up in that crypt. After the latest attempt on her life, I'd be tempted to just let them loose on Meereen.

Yeah, I know the theories though, I haven't heard that one before

Kind of funny that he was named after Belicheck though

The unsullied are trained army, this was an assassination attempt.

In the book it played out differently and maybe Drogon didn't come to save her, but was attracted due to the smell of all the blood. Ser Barristan Selmy was slicing through the sons of harpy. Tyrion and Jorah weren't there, not sure about Daario.

So she could be come the 'Mad Queen'?

They are wild dragons look at the possible outcomes 1) They burn the city that you are the queen of to the ground. Now everyone in the city, including the people who just freed want you dead. Also how many of your unsullied also perish when the city burns?
2) The city fights back and kills one or both of your dragons.

I responded by asking if R+L=J was allowed to be mentioned.


Asking a question like that is equivalent to telling them that R+L=J is an important thing. How can you not see that?

It was already mentioned. I was just asking if it was allowed, seeing as how that previous multitude of times it had been mentioned in past hodor threads it was met with the same results, the only difference was that time followed an actual show that had several big hints to it.

Jon being a possible Targaryen is obviously a big deal, no one needs me to validate that. Any blind hodor should know that Jon being a Targaryen would be a huge deal (if it is even true) as soon as they see it mentioned.

ETA: As I was quickly reminded to clarify by my diligent friend below, no one even knows if it is even a correct theory. The only people that I'm aware of that would know is GRRM and D&D. So how can a hodor be spoiled from something that no one even knows if it is accurate?

It is a theory that originated from exhaustive study of the books. Hodors guessing is one thing but a reader going in and asking if it is ok to talk about that gives it a huge amount of perceived legitimacy.

It may have originated from people that read the books, but I would bet that 80% of the people that know about the theory now days got it from Reddit and casual conversation seeing how it is probably the most widely known theory in modern literature/tv medium (outside of the characters in Lost being in purgatory (which turned out to be false)).

And I very seriously doubt the hodor that started the incident was guessing at it. He used the universal R+L=J formula. I don't think a hodor would've just so happen to use that formula. Heck, I don't think Titus even used it in his original post a few day later that caused him to get raked over the coals.

But I learned my lesson, and I'm no longer posting in the hodor thread. I sure don't want to litter this thread with posts about whether or nor it is ok to talk about it in the hodor thread.

Why is Dorne so important. I know there was a comment last episode about how Tywin recognized the importance of keeping Dorne "in the fold".

Other than Dornish wine, you really don't hear much about them until last season when the Red Viper comes to KL.

Speaking strictly from watching the show only.

Obviously Tyrion, when he was HotK, knew their importance as well when he sent his neice there to be wed. Of course pissing Cersei off was icing on the top for that move.

Dorne was the only kingdom that fought off Aegon the Conquerer and his dragons.

Plus the Lannisters need allies, Tyrion was trying to turn their biggest enemy to their side for the war
