OT Game of Thrones S7E1: Dragonstone
absolutely no idea what motivation Jamie would have to save Tyrion. The last time he discussed Tyrion was on a boat sailing for Dorne and said, and I quote "the next time I ever see my brother again I am going to kill him." I don't think a whole lot has changed since then that would change that stance. Yes, Jamie's children have died, but that could easily be seen as resulting from events set in motion by Tyrion. I don't think Jamie is swimming in brotherly love for Tyrion. And I don't think Euron could get to Tyrion either.
I think there is a good chance Jamie will kill Cercei, but I don't think he will (or would) choose Tyrion over Cercei, at all.
Tyrion is the hand of Queen Dany, who has Dragon's, part of the Greyjoy fleet, the unsullied, Varys (who has recruited Dorne AND Highgarden), did I mention Dragons, etc.
If Euron brings Tyrion to Cersei without first getting through all that (and I'm not sure how he'd do that unless he busts out the horn and woos the dragons), Jaime could have a choice of saving Tyrion and coming over to what seems like a much stronger side, or sticking with Cersei and the Ironborn, who he just said were worthless.
I nearly had a Randy Marsh moment when Danny hit shore. I never thought I'd live to see it. Cersei is in a very dark place and so am I because she killed Natalie Dormer's breasteses.
but have read all the long ass books. I've been waiting for Martin to finish writing book 6. I wonder if this will be different than the HBO's story line.
known
He won't finish another book, but just ride off into the Dornish sunset after the HBO series is complete.
There's way too much money to be made to let the books die here. I've read that the story outline is finished to the end and the sixth book is in the editing stage.
I have feeling that as long as he has enough notes, that the story will be finished by a guest writer. This happened with Robert Jordan and The Wheel of Time when Brandon Sanderson finished it up and actually helped with the series finishing in three books. I feel like if Jordan was still alive we would be waiting for like the 18th book by now.
that he has cashed in big time with the tv series though? That guy is never again going to want for anything. He's almost 70 years old, not that that prevents him from finishing his novel series, but it seems that he's on the shorter end of the sword. I'm a cynic by nature though, but would still very much love for him to finish things off so many of us can enjoy them.
than he would ever need or want.
Next week episode looks good af. Was that the long lost Nymeria spotted in the tease???
What's a Nymeria?
Besides, those teases at the end could be a flash of a scene five episodes in the future. I've given up trying to discern any meaning out of them.
Nymeria is Arya's direwolf. She made it run away to avoid being killed by the Lannisters after it bit Joffrey. In the books, Nymeria is mentioned, but there's been no mention of her in the show. Other than Ghost, Nymeria is the only direwolf left that could be alive.
there is rumor of Nymeria becoming this badass She-Wolf Pack Leader that roams the Riverlands like a boss. I don't think she'll have puppies with her, but she could have a band of wolf followers by her side.
In the books Arya also has dreams that she is a wolf hunting and killing, she may have the ability like Bran to warg into animals (control them with her mind). Man I feel like a huge dork.
Jon will receive a note from Sam about Dragonstone having a shitload of dragonglass on it (remember Jon was talking about how they need to mine for dragonglass in this weeks episode) and talk to his lords up north about going to treat with the dragon queen to allow them to mine the dragonglass to make weapons... This is all setting up a Jon/Dany meeting this season.
Can't wait until next Sunday. Sunday nights with GoT is my way to get through weekends without football right now.
Six fill seasons plus s7 E1 and I haven't lost my job yet.
All caught up now. The posts can resume now... oh wait.
I can't get the fu%$ing theme song out of my head and I want to split the scull open of the next guy who crosses me.
but my marathon quest was worth it. I'm ready to tackle this record but not sure what shows to watch for 4 days ( a good Forum topic? ). I did pull an all nighter the first day MTV came out watching the same dozen videos over and over....
She's hanging on by smoke and mirrors and the Mountain. When she was talking to her brother about their situation, he said they had 3 kingdoms. The great houses are:
Stark - nope, unless he still thinks the Boltons hold the north
Tullys - nope, unless he thinks the Freys hold the Tully castle
Arryn of the Eyrie - nope, unless he thinks Littlefinger is still loyal to them
Lannisters - that's one
Baratheons - empty
Tyrells - nope, not after they got wildfired by Cersei
Dorne - nope, not after they murdered Myrcella
So what do they have exactly? They offed the Faith, so the zealots aren't going to come flocking to their aid. Their kids are dead so they can't arrange any alliances that way. They've played their wildfire card twice now, so that's not going to surprise anybody. Even their gold mines are empty. They got nothin'. I wouldn't be surprised to see Arya walk in the front door and off Cersei. I'm not sure what the whole point of the Ed Sheeran scene was, other than to say that the soldiers are just regular people with families and when she said she was going to kill the queen, they just chuckled, as if they were saying, yeah, I can see that.
...when she said she was going to kill the queen, they just chuckled, as if they were saying, yeah, I can see that.
More like, "Yeah, right. You're just a girl."
"You and what army?"
I think the three kingdoms are the Kingdom of the Rock, the Kingdom of the Stormlands, and the Kingdom of the Isles and Rivers, though the latter is in a power vacuum. Out are the Kingdom of the North, the Kingdom of the Mountain and the Vale, the Kingdom of the Reach, and the Principality of Dorne.
I also think Arya will kill Cersei but will do it with the face of one of the Lannister siblings, thus fulfilling the prophecy.
Remember, the seven kingdoms are actually nine (formerly 7 way back in the day). Sorry for nerding out. So, it's actually, it's easy to name three kingdoms under Lannister control:
The Crownlands (obviously)
The Westerlands (obviously)
The Riverlands (Jamie just took Riverrun, the Freys were murdered in the Twins, but Jaime likely is unaware of that atm. Even if he is aware, the Lannisters should still have Riverrun)
Then, I could even say that the Stormlands are assumed under Lannister control ever since Stannis bailed on them. As we saw with Dany's return, Dragonstone was empty.
Iron Islands? That could be an ally. But not currently under Lannister control.
The remaining four are clearly opposing the Lannisters: the North, the Vale, Dorne, the Reach (Hightower, ruled by the Martells).
