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.. |

I don't have a problem with where he ended up at all. I'm simply of the mind that how he got there was insufficient and even WITH him being a doofus, there were ways more in-line with his character to get there.

Yep plus the Unsullied and Dothraki will all be dead in short order when they go to Naath because of the butterfly flesh eating disease. But I agree with DJ make Jon turn it down instead of going out like he did |

Who’s lives in KL anyway? The city got destroyed, most people turned into ash. What’s the point of having a King there?

Think of it like The Blitz. The Germans bombed the shit out of greater London for awhile and despite all the damage done, a city that big can simply take a ton of punches. KL isn't Dresden (or Drogon isn't a nuke, perhaps). Because without those scenes you really do wonder if the whole damn city isn't a smoldering rubble. By including those I think you get a little better understanding of the breadth of KL and how there really is something to rule. And the reason you have the King there is the same reason it's where the King ended up to begin with. It wasn't mere happenstance, it's a harbor town with a central location and the infrastucture of the entire continent has been funneled to it for centuries now. It's the logical spot to rebuild unless the person taking over were to have had a strong tie elsewhere. Even then, rebuilding the continental infrasturcture and expanding the city into a capital would've been an even greater undertaken than simply rebuilding on the ruins.

Wasn't the point of the Night's Watch to protect against the White Walkers/Wildlings?
Why do they even have it anymore...the wall had been destroyed. |

I guess some people need a heros or a hero-always-wins story. This story had too many twists for that kind of ending, imo.

He can't really just walk away. But by leading the Wildlings out and simply choosing not to return, that's effectively what he's doing. He's gone full Mance Rayder. The Night's Watch isn't letting him go - he's simply going rogue and isn't coming back.

Yeah it's one of the doesn't make sense moments. Especially knowing as soon as greyworm discovered Dany was dead Jon and Tyrion would have had their throats slashed no questions asked.

It's a wink wink punishment from Tyrion. It gives the appearance of punishment but it's not really punishing for Jon. Jon probably wouldn't walk back to the 7 kingdoms because it's for the good of the realm. Even with the unsullied and dothraki gone, we saw the greyjoys and probably others would not bend the knee to a queenslayer. Last scene shows that Jon has no intention of camping out at castle black. He's going beyond the wall with the wildlings which has always felt like more of his natural place anyway.

It would have at least been cool to see Nymeria on the ship with Arya.
