NUance Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Watching finale now. Dany should've made an aircraft carrier. Ha ha! That's what I was thinking. Three ships with giant bird perches. Those things surely can't fly all the way without stopping, can they? btw, I don't think I'd wanna be a deckhand on those ships. I imagine a dragon would be hungry after flying a few hundred miles.

zoogs Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Haha! The new Daario is much better. Loyal to the books, I don't know, but maybe a three-pronged blue beard with pointed gold mustachio tips wasn't a fantasy author's best piece of work. 1 Quote Link to comment

Neither was having Daeny put perfume on her nipples and womanhood, or describing Tyrion's penis in minute detail. It's "ugly, thick and veined, with a bulbous purple head," in case you were curious. Here's a vagina one: "The queen slid a finger into that Myrish swamp, then another..." I would have divorced/dumped him immediately upon reading that if he was my significant other.

Moiraine Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Is there any proof that Rhaegar kidnapped/rape Lyanna, other than what we hear from the Starks/Baratheons? It seems to me that, other than the kidnapping/rape, we only ever hear good things about Rhaegar, so I've always wondered if that's the true story. I think Robert would much rather have believed this than that she left him for a Targaryen. Quote Link to comment

Isn't the theory more that they fell in love and she ran away "with" him, vs it being a forceful or against her will kind of situation? Quote Link to comment

But the "good guys" version which is actually stated in the books was that it was kidnapping. I was just wondering if the books/show ever indicated that the good guys were wrong. Other than talking about how honorable that particular Targaryen actually was in every other way. Quote Link to comment

If she wasn't kidnapped, then why was Ned Stark there killing people in what seemed like a rescue attempt? Ned was fighting what was left of Rhaegar Targaryen's kings guard. Rhaegar instructed them to protect his new love interest(possible wife), Lyanna Stark, and their unborn child. Robert Baratheon was killing anything Targaryen to extinguish the line and secure his place as the new king. That's why Rhaegar's other family were all killed (including his 1 year old son, Aegon). Now Ned and Robert were best friends growing up. The kings guard that were at the Tower of Joy don't know what Ned's intentions are when he gets there. All of the information they have is that Targaryen's are being killed and as a kings guard. It is their job to protect all of the royal family, which includes Jon Targaryen. Quote Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 They should make a prequel to GOT once this show ends. Kinda like Better Call Saul 3 Quote Link to comment
Mike Mcdee Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Pretty sure that HBO has already began talks. There are two story lines they could go with. Robert's Rebellion which they already have license to do from the original deal with George RR Martin. The other is Dunk and Egg. That one would have to be licensed and I'm assuming GRRM would charge a premium knowing how successful the first deal was for HBO. Kind of like your second contract with NFL being your payday contract. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Is it just me or are the Sparrows worse than Cersei and her ilk? At least Cersei doesn't pretend to be good. I think they deserved what they got. The others though, not so much. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Yeah, I thought the Sparrows were a bit of a tedious storyline. I suppose it's good that things are finally moving now. GOT is nothing if not tedious, though. I remember watching season 1 and thinking, "Oh, OK, Dany is going to go to Westeros soon, now that her origin story is just about wrapped up." It might finally happen in one of these next two seasons...maybe. Quote Link to comment
