Game of Thrones

But didn’t Tyrion offer her some when they had their one on one? She didn’t refuse, but she didn’t drink it.

Yup.

 

[TemptressToo]

She's a mass murderer and has a chronic case of the ince$t.

A little wine is small in the big scheme of thangs....lol

I don't know that I actually believe she's preggers.

But, that's what her mad scientist told her and that's what she told Jaime and Tyrion.

I actually DO believe she is preggers...and her own prophecy, that the "little brother" will kill her will be her own children's little brother...killing her in child birth.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

O-VER-THINK-ING!
clap clap clapclapclap

Or, just paying attention.

I believe he and the former Three Eyed Raven are/were. The Mad King may have been driven crazy by their whispers, just as Hodor was mentally .



I am not much of a fantasy or Sci-Fi fan but this one has me hooked. The last author that captivated me was Tom Clancy, which probably says more about me than the writers. Harry Potter was meh at best and I cannot think of another fantasy story that I really liked. My first GOT exposure was at the end of season six when I watched about ten minutes of an episode and knew I would love it. I started binge watching and each episode seems better than the last. So from my view, superb is the correct word to use. This is coming from a man that thinks Al Bundy is the greatest fictional character ever to grace a television screen, so there is that.

are you saying the books are good or the writing in the show is good? Now that they are beyond the books, a lot of season 7 and this season are beyond the books...and it isn't great.

I think there are people who would say neither is good.

however I have heard some fantasy writers say Lord of the Rings is not good writing either because so much is used describing landscapes and the world as opposed to the story.

I don't think so, but whatever.

I don't think they will throw an obscure twist like that.

That would actually be a very clever way to bring forth the prophecy.

That's exactly how the mom died giving birth to Tyrion.

 

[PatsFan2003]

so Cercei isn't telling Urine that she has a barren uterus and can't make any more babies

but still stringing him along so she can use his boats.

she obviously turns on him at some point.

or she gets knocked up and gives birth to an Imp like Tyrion

I thought it was to cover up who the father of her new baby was.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Which is why I said I hope it's a red herring?

 

[PatsFan2003]

I don't think they are aware of what alcohol can do to a fetus yet.

like in the 80's

Right. The ince$t alone will make it deformed..

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Agree.

But, I pray that whole reborn in salt and smoke was a red herring and that little twat isn't the Prince that was Promised.

When Euron made him tuck ass and jump overboard after kdnapping his sister and killing the sand snakes....

He emerged from the water in salt and smoke.



I'm not here for the Theon or Jorah redemption tour.

Now tht I think of it, could apply to Jaime too after Bronn tackled him into the water.

Lots of misdirection.

I think Theon gets a redemption tour but imo it’s one that ends in death.

He’s gonna save one of the Starks would be my guess.

Guy is so damaged and broken both physically and mentally he doesn’t have much to live for anyways. I think the show puts him out of his misery after he saves the other half of the “you’re both a Stark and Greyjoy”

Yeah, I could live with that.

 

[ill]

I think most of the deaths going forward are going to be physical deaths, nothing done by magic or whatever

I had not seen this joke

 

[DIKOWT DOWG]

Could argue that Ser Davos is the one.
Born of the sea (salt).
Literally witnessed the birth of a smoke demon.

don't pay him any mind. after all, he's only lived to a ripe old age.

 

[Payton]

Uh....

Bran...

3 eyed Raven?

They don't have enough episodes to be digging in paternity parchments.

I suppose they could just light his ass on fire to see if he burns?

The northmen seem to have a difficult time taking things at face value is all.... Oh well, the creepy, white-eyed cripple says.... And is Sam really going to come all that way, somehow relying that Bran's got his back on this?

Not sure anyone knows what to make of Bran at this point.

Love that guy.

But, he's not a fighter.

How much longer can he survive on his intellect?

I don't think Sam knew about Bran being the Raven until he got to Winterfell.

Actually, I don't think Sam put the pieces together about John until Bran went back to see the wedding.

They both had different pieces of the puzzle.

Sam knew about the wedding, not the baby.

Bran knew about the baby, not the wedding.

So, Maybe he did bring the book back ?

last night, brandons character seemed to be slinding into the role as dungeon master or something close. yet somehow being pushed out a window is still important to him. the petty or self absorbed and still worldly isn't working for me.

I think that Bran IS passed that...because he sees the bigger picture how Jamie's actions sent him on a journey to his true purpose. Jamie will be brought before Dany/Jon & company...but it will be Bran that speaks to save him.

 

[batchaps4me]

Cersei is currently pregnant with Jamie's last child.

I am in the camp that she is not pregnant.

True.

Technically, Thormound, the Hound rode the dragon back with Danny.

IMHO there is a difference between riding a dragon and riding on a dragon, technically speaking.

I don't think they are aware of what alcohol can do to a fetus yet.

like in the 80's

And to think that Mom was responsible and quit drinking and smoking three weeks of her pregnancy with me ..... for nothing.

are you saying the books are good or the writing in the show is good? Now that they are beyond the books, a lot of season 7 and this season are beyond the books...and it isn't great.

I think there are people who would say neither is good.

however I have heard some fantasy writers say Lord of the Rings is not good writing either because so much is used describing landscapes and the world as opposed to the story.

I haven't read the books yet and am not sure if I will because I do not have faith that the last books will be written. I was never able to get into Lord of the Rings. Fantasy stories just never appealed to me. Other than comedies, not much fiction has ever really appealed to me at all. The reason I use superb is that I am certain that I am going to be surprised if not shocked in the ending of a lot of characters. I can see any one of them making it or not and most characters still have a chance at the Iron Throne.

 

[Payton]

They were doing more than cheap time stretching between Jon and Danny.

Jon is about to have to tell a driven and self absorbed women with dragons that he is the rightful heir to the throne. They need that dynamic of her falling for him to even suggest she wouldn't kill him right away.

I would expect Jon to test this for himself next episode by at least putting his hand in fire, if not something more.

We had to see him flying a dragon for many different arc possibilities. Danny is now expendable because Jon is that plan B Tyrion was on about late in season 7. Doesn't mean they will kill her off, but they want that in our minds.

They are likely both immune to the dead dragon. Sure, it's blue flame not red. But it melted the wall not froze it.

And this session is 7 hours long. No, it's not as much as some expected, but it's not 7.8 to 8 episodes worth as someone suggested. It is equal to 7 episodes.

Time is short, but none of this was wasted. It is all setting up the action to come.

Can Danny get pregnant from her nephew?

Jon is way more steady as a leader.

Arya is different now? Well no shit. She's been to hell and back, trained under a group that all look stoned, and returned to a home she no longer recognizes from a life she is so distant from. Of course she isn't the same

Ummmm... seems like you're packing all your answers into one post here. I never questioned Arya.
