Game of Thrones is my comfort show. After Joffrey, the execution of Little Finger is probably the best death in the whole series.

The bathtub scene is perfect; it reframes the moment Jaime and the Mad King, showing you that he is far more complex than he appears and that he sacrificed his honor to protect the innocent. Great performances all around and phenomenal dialogue.

Do you think young griff is a blackfyre?

I love House Blackfyre so much. I really, really hope he is a blackfyre.

Despite all the problems with Season 8 (and there are many), Theon's arc is very good and has a satisfying conclusion, in my opinion.

Was this fanservice or just bad writing?

If Aegon the conqueror dreamed of the Long night and named it, 'The Song of Ice and Fire', then HOWTF did Sam come up with the exact same name?

(Also, public execution for the Maester who didn't include Tyrion)

(S3 E9) WTF DID I JUST WATCH I HATE THIS SHOW

for context i just started watching GOT 2 weeks ago and have never seen a single spoiler or know anything abt the show at all.
i really thought the starks were the main characters and after ned’s death i didn’t think any other starks would be killed… needless to say after watching ep9 my expectations have been shattered. i feel a deep sense of anguish and heartbreak im genuinely devastated on how that episode played out, rob was by far my favorite character and now he’s fuckin dead. i wanna know if the show is even worth continuing to watch???

I still wonder how a human brain can create this level of fiction, may be it's the advancement of Technology, but what about the level of creativity, What you think..?

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Wow

Finally got around to this one. This show is a perfect example of why script writing is the most important aspect of filmmaking. At a fraction of the budget, this show is better than the back four seasons of GOT and the entirety of HOD. I hope season 2 they embrace full length episodes, but other than that this shit is damn near flawless. I can't remember the last time I literally cheered at the screen watching something.

Why did Robert show up to Winterfell only flying Lannister banners? I don’t think I saw a single Baratheon banner when they arrived.

What do you think of the dejesterfication of the TV show?

In the books jesters seem to be everywhere in the courts of the lords and kings of westeros, but in the TV show they hardly ever appear

They keep ser dontos but none of the others, even significant characters like patch face are gone. And the singing jester whos present while Olena grills Sansa about Joffrey doesn’t exist

Were all the jesters too silly for the show? Were they even a good move in the book? Or did their exclusion take away from the feel of the world?

Personally i think they were abit much in the booms and it would be hard to adapt their scenes for a tv show that was meant to be gritty and bloody. But i am sad they didn’t appear at all even in a lessened role

You can pick one character to be the ruler of Westeros, and everyone else dies.

All that remais is the smal folk.theres no more hereditary laws either. The rule chooses whoever thay want to suceed them Who do you pick?

Had Ned believed Will...

...about the White Walkers, would he have still executed Will? I understand it's a capital offense if a member of the Night's Watch should desert, and they are put to death point blank period. Ned is arguably the most honorable character...and part of being honorable is fairness. Would it have been fair for Ned to spare Will's life ****had he believed Will****?

Why does Ned Stark despise Jamie Lannister?

In the books (and the show), The Mad King completely unleashes an atrocity upon Brandon & Rickard Stark. When Brandon Stark questions Aerys about Lyanna’s whereabouts, he seizes him for treason. When Rickard comes in aid of Brandon, he puts Rickard into a trial by combat… vs literal fire. Aerys then burns Rickard alive while Brandon is forced watching while being strangled with a tyroshi strangling device. Brandon succumbed to strangulation not long after. Aerys then chose to set the whole kingdom on fire — Jamie heard this & put an end to the Mad King. So why does Ned have a deep hatred for Jamie? The constant mocking with Kingslayer? He literally avenged your family? I know they don’t get along but in the scene with Brienne in the bath(water?) he speaks about this. Even when they meet in Kings Landing Ned speaks to Jamie in disgust about the origins of “Kingslayer”. Doesn’t make much sense to me

Does GoT have one of the best, if not the very beast, theme song of all time?

After the wild success of my thread asking how people felt about the Oberyn v Mountain fight that got 0 upvotes and 0 replies, I figure you are all super excited to see another one of my highly successful posts.

Anyway, self deprecating humor aside. What do you think?

It doesn't need to have any words and yet you know exactly what you're in for. It gets you pumped for the episode ahead. It's perfect for fantasy. There isnt a thing wrong with it. It's one of 5 theme songs I rarely skip, and 3 of those are only because they're under 10 seconds.

I love this theme song so much. Anyone else feel similar?
