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.. |

Just thought of this. Pod and Bronn might be going to try to save the sand snakes. Perhaps Bronn has been secretly keeping them both healthy and just needed the right moment to break them free.
I am also going to guess that Jamie somehow teams up with Bronn, Pod, and Brien to perhaps fight the golden company before heading north or at least try to get Euron. Jamie certainly has the freedom to attack him now. |

they are real and they are spectacular. Bronn deserves to motorboat those mighty fine mammeries. We deserve to see those puppies free again.

Wow. That was a lot of shit to digest.

I thought the same thing about Rhaegar. That was weird. He was a BAMF in the books and legend in the show. Viserys was a sniveling puke at which I smiled when they broke his arm. Quote:

I don't think there is any way they kill off those two without showing them dying.

Littlefinger's reaction to being called out for murder and treason was priceless. Can't believe Littlefinger is gone, but entering its final season, the show is going to be rich with battles vs the undead and less to-do with back-alley dealings. It was time for him to go. |

The one pity of Jon Snow's parents being wed. Having him a Dornish bastard would have been the greatest moment in the history of Chiefsplanet.

That was some pretty quick thinking by Euron to use witnessing the undead as a front to pick up the Golden Company.

In crayon? Ok, you asked... So Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark were foster-children or whatever of Jon Arryn, sent to the Vale as boys and spent several years there. Became BEST buddies. Eventually (don't remember details), Ned's sister Lyanna is pledged in marriage to Robert Barathon. Great match, two great houses, and Robert apparently was head-over-heels for Lyanna. Meanwhile, Mad King Aerys is doing mad king things. His son, Rhaegar, by all accounts is a really good guy. Great with a sword and great with musical instruments. He is also married to a member of House Martell, which rules Dorne, and they have some kids together. Welp, from the point of view of Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark, Prince Rhaegar kidnaps Lyanna. They complain to Mad King Aerys about this, but the Mad King says **** off and brutally kills both Ned's father and older brother. That kicks off Robert's Rebellion, and results in the fall of House Targaryen. This includes (1) Robert killing Rhaegar at the Battle of the Trident, and (2) The Mountain killing Rhaegar's children (think little kids here) by bashing their head into a wall, ending the entire Targaryen line except for Viserys and Danaerys who are smuggled out of the country. Robert takes the throne, laments the loss of his love Lyanna and marries Cercei, and off we go. HOWEVER, apparently Rhaegar didn't kidnap Lyanna at all. It seems they genuinely loved one another, and Rhaegar formally annulled his marriage and remarried Lyanna. The ENTIRE REASON for Robert's Rebellion was a complete fiction. And the child that Lyanna bore (Jon Snow nee Aegon Targaryen) is the true and rightful King of Westeros. Ned, of course, had promised Lyanna on her death bed that he would protect little Aegon/Jon. Telling Robert the whole truth (though who knows if Ned knew about the annulment) would not have been a good thing toward protecting Aegon/Jon's health. So Ned takes Jon back to Winterfell and pretends he had a bastard child, who is actually his nephew, and raises as his own, much to the bitterness of his wife. EDIT: I fixed the spelling or Rhaegar (not Rhaeger) and Lyanna (not Lyssa).

Just a thought; thank goodness Jon Snow got his mother's dark hair and not his father's uber-blond hair or as the jig would as they say, up.

Ned's sister didn't get kidnapped, she fell in forbidden love with the enemy, Rhaaegar Targaryen (who is not shown until last night). They made baby Jon Snow.
Ned wanted to protect the boy because Jon is his nephew, and an innocent. He wanted to raise a noble boy despite taking the undeserved heat from his wife for banging a whore. Stark knew he was possibly raising the future king, and wanted to instill in him great valor, ethics, honesty, humility, and responsibility, qualities that no king has possessed in centuries. He succeeded. Whew. It makes sense now. Thanks guys. |

Right, thanks. I think I had "Aunt Lysa" on the brain there, and conflated the two like a dolt.
