Game of Thrones Seasons 7-8
About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that... For future us, 2015 thread is here: Link Last edited by keg in kc; 06-21-2017 at 10:48 AM.. |

This BS that Tyrion has all of a sudden become a dumbass is all a dodge. No way he trusts Cersi to honor her part of the deal. He had to know she wasn’t sending her troops north. There are conversations that took place that we know exist but not what was discussed or decided. Something is up.

Tyrion, by coincidence or not, has been working to separate Dany from allies who would literally die for her since Season 5.
He advised she put Jorah in exile. He advised she keep Daario in Maereen. He advised to separate the Tyrells, Greyjoy’s, Grey Worm, and the Martells from Dany in S7. He advised to send Jon on a suicidal mission that had a questionable payoff from the beginning - and then begged Dany not to go herself. I think there very much is a larger play from Tyrion here, or at least I hope there is. |

Heh. It just popped into my head that Jon was burned when he killed the first wight in Castle Black.
So... He’s a Viserys level Targaryen? |

Very astute observation. Sure would suck for Tyrion to end up being a weasel, but at the end of the day.... he is.... a Lannister. |

The show writers have made Tyrion out to be a dumbass. I don't think he'll get the same treatment in the books...if we ever get the books. I don't think Tyrion is purposely screwing Dany, that's far too complex for these show writers. They're just making him look dumb so he can then do something smart to help win and redeem himself.

I don't think the books will be anything at all like the TV show. Some major beats that he gave them, sure, but the minutae will be completely different and there's a ton of strings running in the books that are either changed or non-existent on TV.
