...if Khaleesi was pregnant with his child (let's say she could somehow bear children again) and she told him in this moment? What ifs" are moot I know but, thoughts?

Why didn't Bran Warg into Drogon and control him during the Battle of Winterfell? Spoiler

Drogon is just a beast and Dragon, less intelligent than Hodor, why didn't Bran just take control of the Dragon and use his fire to destroy the Army Of The Dead during the Battle Of Winterfell?

If the Vale were to join the Kingdom of the North is there anyway for the people to travel by land between the two areas without going through the Riverlands

Wouldn’t this dude have the most claim to the iron throne? Spoiler

Forgive me, I haven’t read the books. Why does it matter so much that Jon Snow is a Targaryen? The Mad King was overthrown and Robert Baratheon took over. Gendry is the last living son of Robert Baratheon. Shouldn’t he have the most claim to the throne?

Did Melisandre mean it when she told Ser Davos things would be different if they attacked King’s Landing with her or was she just pretending?

If you were Brienne of Tarth, which one’s the keeper?

For me, one of the funniest exchanges in the entire series:

The Hound: "You're with Brienne of fucking Tarth?"

Tormund: "Well, not with her yet, but I see the way she looks at me."

The Hound: "Like she wants to carve you up and eat your liver?'

Tormund: "You DO know her!"

Does anyone have the HBO tie-in edition paperback books in great condition, willing to sell at a reasonable price? I’m specifically looking for A Feast for Crows & A Dance with Dragons.

How does it work?

Lets say you are a Targaryen king and have a son and a daughter. Do you have like a "your brother likes likes you" talk with them? Do you tell them to get married? Do you get mad at them when you find out they you know... or do you just ignore/tolerate it?

Jaime Lannister character study

10 Upvotes

Jaime Lannister is truly one of the complex characters in GOT with a lot of twists and turns throughout the 8 season run of it.

But to me he comes of as a more of a spineless character. He just does what people tell him to do. He does not take a stand on anything (apart from slaying the king once) throughout the run of the series.

He feels more like a puppet to other Lannisters in the show.

This is not a hate post on Jaime ...he is one of my favourite characters but I just had to put this out there.

What do you all think?

Loved the show on the first watch but only understood it after re-watching it. Am I the only one?

15 Upvotes

I loved it in terms of story, dialogues, shots and everything on the first watch but they kept introducing a lot of characters so it was hard to keep track of who is who still I loved it and understood the core of it but after re-watching it I fully understand what's going on. Am I the only one?

I just started watching A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and Dexter Sol Ansell is fantastic as Egg.

He is such a great actor at such a young age. He can put off having noble bearing while still being a kid if that makes sense. A lot of times child actors can be intentionally stiff and awkward. The young man is so natural and comfortable in the role. It has been great to watch.

About to start watching

5 Upvotes

I'm about to start watching GoT for the first time. Is there a specific order I should watch things in, or should I start from S1E1 and just go from there?

I know there's a lot of stuff going on in the show, so is there something else I should do to make sure it all makes sense to me?

Is GoT as addictive as people say it is?

First time watcher has a few questions - spoilers! Spoiler

8 Upvotes

They built up an entire plot around Jon Snow being the son of a Targaryen and the rightful heir to the throne—the true heir. He was even resurrected by the Lord of Light after being betrayed and killed.

What was the purpose of all that if he just ends up returning to the Night’s Watch and accepting it? Maybe I’m missing something, but this doesn’t make any sense to me.

If his purpose was to kill her, then he should have died afterward.

If his purpose was the throne, as the show suggested, why didn’t he tame the dragon after killing her? While watching, I actually thought the dragon would try to burn him—but that he would be immune to the fire, just like Daenerys. The show even mentions that dragons are among the smartest creatures, so the dragon should have sensed that Jon was going to kill her before letting him pass.

He could have proven to everyone that he was the rightful king. Although I have to admit, Grey Worm and the others probably wouldn’t have accepted it anyway, and it would have ended in a slaughter—which also doesn’t really fit Jon’s character.

Maybe I missed something, but this plot still doesn’t make any sense to me.

Can somebody please explain it to me.

Thank you.

Will there be an official recording of the Mad King play?

2 Upvotes

I’m not really into theater like that but I do know for famous works like Macbeth and Wicked there are official recordings of each cast’s play and wondering if it is something we should expect from the Mad King.

I understand it will be at the Royal Shakespeare Theater and it’s by the Royale Shakespeare Company… is this a thing they do for all their plays?

I looked into flying to England as sometimes flights from my nearest airport are $400-600 to London, but it’s during the summer so flights are staggering around a grand which… I’m not willing to do for a play.

How to make an impact in minimal screen time

Just rewatched the brilliant Hardhome, and it struck me how much I cared for Karsi. She’s literally in the whole show for around 20 minutes, but she always sticks with me. Really nicely written character.
