Not sure if any of y'all watch Preston Jacobs videos but go figure he's the biggest book snob in ASOIAF fandom and said this was the worst episode of the entire series. What a douche.

The dude is just butt hurt that D'&D shot down his TOJ theory that Danerys is the daughter of rhaegar and lyanna and Jon is the son of Brandon and ashara dayne. He is also a dude who has this grand theory that Dorne actually means something in the books. He essentially hates the show because it proves all his super crack potty theories wrong and he has spent countless hours thinking about this shite

His theory videos are entertaining. All crackpot, but he knows the books very well and usually makes some interesting points along the way. His episode recaps are horrible. He has difficulty accepting it when his theories are proven wrong or meaningless. Earlier he tried to suggest that Jon's parents may be different in the books.

Why would that even be a theory? R+L=D and B+A=J changes nothing. Dany would still be the Targaryen heir and Jon would still be the bastard. It's just dumb and unsupported.

To be honest, I find his stuff hilarious a lot of the time (in a good way). I think of lot of it is tongue in cheek. On his videos, there is the same clips of the episode he is talking about like they all use but he has a small cartoon characters on the bottom corners of the screen - the Night's King pops up usually on the lower left side and SweetRobin sprawled out on the Iron Thorne on the lower right side. They make snarky comments (in really bad voice impersonations) about some of the plot holes, etc. And there is a character called Chad Summerchild (picture a surfer guy in a suit of armor) who tends to say inane things.

The whole point is snark really. It does grate sometimes for stellar episodes like the last two when he really has to reach for things to snark on. But it's usually good for some laughs.

I don't really watch his serious theories videos so I don't know how those are.

Im guessing dany starts next season arriving at dorne. thats the quickest allied land. dont think she goes straight to KL but there isnt many episodes left

What if she's heading to the Iron Islands? She told Yara she would place her as queen, she knows Euron is an impending enemy now that she's sided with Yara, and Daario gave us a bit of foreshadowing when he tried to get permission to invade through Casterly Rock. Looking over the map, it would also explain how the Martell and Tyrell ships joined Dany's fleet. It would allow Dany to have King's Landing completely surrounded before war even started. Maybe that's all too clean though.

Honestly, I'm just thinking Dany painted some sails with the Rose and Sunspear. Maybe only one or two in that fleet are actually their ships.

Question...do any of you think Cersei lives long enough to find out about Jon Snow's lineage? That reveal and the effects would make incredible tv.

Think about it...cersei felt that if Rhaegar would have married her, there would be no need to chase lyanna when Elia couldn't make him happy. Westeros would be peaceful as no one would mess with a Lannister targ union (Strike one against the Starks)
This left her betrothed to Robert and his lack of any respect for their union and kids. She hated that Robert obsessed over lyanna and what could have been (strike two )
Now the essential root of all her unhappiness is found to have given birth to a son with Rhaegar that supersedes all claims to the throne....(strike three and she goes full bat shite crazy)

I don't see her painting their standards on her ships. There weren't that many Martell & Tyrell ships there, so I'm pretty confident that they were all truly their ships. When Dany asked Tyrion if Yara's ships gave her enough to get to Westeros, he said barely. Now with their ships, she had more than enough to bring her full force to Westeros.

I don't think she'd care all that much and think he was lying. I think Tyrion being with Dany and LF and Sansa being together in the north would concern her much more than Jon himself.

Yeah, I agree. She won't like LF being with the Starks/Sansa. And she will absolutely lose her crap when she finds out Tyrion is now Hand to Dany. I can't wait to see the look on Cersei's face when she's told that Tyrion is with Dany.

Did leeyana have 2 kids? Thought there was speculation that meera reed was Jon's sister at one point

The girls names are probably spelled wrong

If I were Cersei, I'd send a somewhat sarcastic congratulatory letter to Jon that actually tells him the truth on all that LF and Sansa did to help destroy his family. That would hopefully have LF's head on a spike if Jon took it seriously and may damage Sansa and Jon's relationship.

But then again Cersei is crazy and too stupid to go through with a plan like this.

It was one of those crackpot theories but pretty much proven to be not true at this point. If Lyanna had another child why would she only mention and show one to Ned?

What if Cersei marries Euron for an alliance early next season and he kills her? That could fulfill the valonquar since he's a little bro.

All episode 9 major events. Sad to think we won't have an episode 9 anymore since the seasons have been shortened.

Won't happen but this would be cool....Tyrion is captured...Cersei is about to have the Mountain destroy Tyrion....Jaime protects his brother and then kills Cersei...fulfilling the prophecy. Jaime and Tyrion ride north to wreck white walkers.
