HBO's "Game of Thrones"

[bigdaddy]

So I'll continue my "communications problems" rant. Some news is instantly known across the 7 kingdoms yet Bran shows up a Castle Black quite some time ago and nobody in Winterfell knows about it until he shows up there. Bran specifically said he needed to talk to Jon Snow but no one sent a message he was at Castle Black?

Oh well

There isn't a Maester there so maybe they can't write? I don't know-just guessing.

That's my thought as well.

It's less climatic than Bran popping up in person for the surprise. TV is too dramatic for common sense.

Wasn't Bravos founded by slaves and a very anti-slave state? Not sure why the Iron Bank would invest in the slave trade.

It looked like Bronn was with Jamie so I assume he won't be saving the bad kitty.

That's a good point but think about how much countries/city states change over time... The US was founded on what most consider fringe libertarian ideals today.

It's fair to suggest greed and power have made the Bravosi forget about their history

 

[SWIL]

Yeah that was weird, and he completely weirded out Sansa too. I don't understand why having his abilities would make him unemotional and unloving.

Maybe the concepts of self and identity fly out the window with the ability to traverse space and time? How can one retain that concept when they can access and affect anything that ever was or will be?

What wedding ? Jon and Dany's ? That's not happening anytime soon, if ever

That's exactly where that is heading.

 

[The Dog]

I think he is confused about Bran talking to Sansa about her wedding with Bolton

Oh. Man, Bran was extremely cold when he brought that up

 

[The Dog]

That's exactly where that is heading.

Where everybody hopes it's heading

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I don't think he was trying to be cold.

Probably the most anticipated incest in TV History

 

[Persian Vol]

I don't think he was trying to be cold.

I think it was to show how emotionless he is and how he has changed

 

[Plano Vol]

It's the ol' Moonlighting trick....they have to keep the tension going. Last epi really kicked things off quite well.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I don't think so either. I think they both die. I posted a while back where I think this is all headed.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I agree.

They may get it on, heck they may even marry, but I don't think they live.

Understandable. Although I think the scene would have been 3x more epic if we didn't know that she was behind Joffreys murder. I feel like if that was unknown, that would have been a great plot twist. And I'm sure some people probably missed that part and felt the shock anyways.

I think that plot point amped up the angst over Tyrion being tried over said crime.

 

[The Dog]

I think it was to show how emotionless he is and how he has changed

I guess so. Maybe, it's because I just watched season 6 again, and he still seemed like Bran and then boom, he is an emotionless 3-eyed Raven

Breaking out a classic 80s show that propelled Bruce Willis into a movie star and Cybil Shephard into a teenage boys, (wet)dreamgirl

I think it was the fact that he knew the horror of that wedding night that freaked her out. Not the unfeeling apology from him that it happened.

I agree, but his deadpan delivery added to her freak out I think.

Good episode and I thought they nailed the iconic meeting between Jon and Dany. A lot of feeling out (Giggity) between those two and distrust, but who can blame them after everything that's happened. Olena is just as badass in death as she is in life, going out with one finally "screw you" to the Lannisters.

There is still a lot left to resolve and explain, especially with the reduced number of episodes. I'm really looking forward to it.

Not me. A wedding is pointless that this point in the story.

The dead are coming, Westeros will be ashes. The theme of the story is that now the Iron Thrones is worthless, the majority of people just don't know it yet. I don't see how the storyline could possibly justify a wedding.

Yep..
