Rickard Karstark was a traitor to a King he pledged fealty to. Likewise the people who stabbed Jon were duty bound to follow him. That's not what Dany did. She did what her dad liked to do. Roast those that oppose them. Now I agree Randall Tarly's reasons for not kneeling where dumb and illogical. But if Euron is a tyrant then Dany is. Euron was elected by the people as leader of the Iron Islands. Targaryen rule of Westeros was established by Conquest. They lost it by Conquest. She isn't owed fealty. She talks of creating a utopian egalitarian world where everyone is equal but only if you submit to her rule. Which the people she wants to rule don't want. And if you don't submit you become barbecue. It's tyranny just benevolent tyranny.

You got a point with about benevolent tyranny, but evil psychopaths are worse tyrants than benevolent ones. It is not a democratic world they live in. Dany did what she had to do in that situation imo. Tarly was never going to be anything other than a pain in her ass. He was never going to bow. He picked the wrong side and lost. All that crap about Dany being foreign was hot air. He betrayed the Tyrells for selfish gain, and he paid the price.

The concept of a 'zombie dragon' seems silly to me but we'll see how the execution of it goes...

The concept of zombie horses and zombie ice bears didnt bother you as much? I don't get the difference. If something dies, then the Night King can turn it. Thats pretty much been established a long time.

Yeah thanks for that, seriously if you are going to talk about spoilers for the next episode please use the tags. Or start a new thread game of thrones spoiler talk or something. Don't ruin it by openly talking about posted spoilers.

I seriously do not understand why you come in this thread..you know by now that you're going to see something you say you don't want to...if you really don't want to know about future theories, or hear what happened in the most recent episode..then don't open this thread. A Got non spoiler thread sounds like a good idea for you. Why don't you or Chavis start one then and quit griping?

Because it is understood here that you don't talk about spoilers. And as a mod I do t have the choice of not seeing this. It all comes up for me so thanks for being the ******* and ruining it for everyone. You openly talked about what is going to happen in next weeks episode. Use a damn tag

And I never said anything about zombie dragons. I talked about Zombie ice bears and zombie horses which everybody has known about for years that watches this show.

You quoted me and by inference called me an *******. I really do try not to talk about future events except in a very vague way. Recent episodes are fair game imo.

You verified it by saying it's going to happen and he broke the news so obviously open talk about next week spoilers is here. When in doubt, use the tag.

Telling people not to come to a thread when you can just as easily use a spoiler tag, is not right. Openly talking about theories we all have and broadcasting spoilers is much different. I don't want to know what was leaked and is about to happen, I want to find that out when I'm watching the show. That's fine if anyone else thinks otherwise and likes to look up spoilers and talk about it; just use a spoiler tag. It's that easy. Even when responding to someone that used a spoiler tag, use another spoiler tag. It really shouldn't be so difficult.

Previous episodes and theories are fair game. It is why I read the thread, not for spoilers. Seems reasonable and common practice to continue spoiler tags when discussing spoilers.

IIRC we used to have a Spoilers Thread for those of us that had read the books.

Also, how was my OP even griping?
