Hate it or love it but the cultural impact this show has had will never be matched again. Just got into the office and had a 15 minute discussion with the janitor about game of thrones, breh was saying it doesn’t make sense. When more people arrive I am ready for the debate, going to be a Game of thrones office day.
We quoting Donte Stallworth in this threadWho cares what this drunk driving, pedestrian killing nikka has to say?
She gave him his freedom.
1. Why would Dany be afraid to attempt an assassination because of one personal guard? Why would any of her advisors be like "can't do that, the mountain might get em"
2. That twitter poster was right, Dany has sent in solders secretly into a city before. Both in Yunkai and at
Casterly Rock. It makes no sense why she wouldn't try what has worked before. At the very least to open the gates, if not to sneak into the Red Keep for an attempt to remove Cersei before a full on assault.
3. Dany's advisors happen to know THE MOST of anyone living about the secret passage ways in KL. Tyrion and Varys know all about the city, inside and out. Davos too apparently. Tyrion would have to either feign ignorance (making himself look more useless and or like a traitor) or tell Dany how they could sneak into the city, which would have made for good drama. And by all accounts, Varys would be all about taking out a single malevolent monarch to install another one. Why wasn't this even mentioned as a possibility?
4. We've had Ramsay and his 20 good men infiltrate Stannis' camp, we've had Bronn sneak into Winterfell with a crossbow, we've had Daario sneak into Dany's camp with multiple weapons, we've had Tyrion smuggle himself into KL, we've had Theon and co sneak onto Eurons ships to rescue Yara, and a ton more instances where characters accomplish something by sneaking. This wasn't suggested once? The only options was this contrived "Kill everybody or kill nobody" scenario?
5. ARYA IS A FACELESS MAN. They have a faceless man, who happens to be on her way to assassinate Cersei anyway. It's like everyone has forgotten that she just ended the apocalypse by defeating death itself.
Whether or not these assassins would have succeeded in their hit job is irrelevant. My point is why wasn't it at the very least considered? It seemed like the most straightforward compromise between the two extremes they kept putting on the table (sack the city vs diplomacy)
yall been posting a different version of this pic the last weeks
. then get shot down by 2 pages of posts.
then post it again the next day
I hated how the show handled that.The Unsullied really got worked by some noblemen in masks?
Ser Jorah took out a Dothraki leader, survived the pits of Mereen, went face to face with stone men, helped siege Yunkai , was the MVP of the battle beyond the wall wielding dragon glass daggers, and wouldn't allow himself to die until his queen was safe from the deadshyt do we have a tier list of most skilled fighters? I'm sure oberyn and maybe kingslayer jamie may be tier 1
fans were outraged, but of course there was still goodwill and hope that if d&d said they only needed 13, then 13 it was dammit...but during season 7, most fans were already a mix of
:fuggu:
now it's full on
and check out friday night lights, i don't know why people don't mention this show more, the characters are top notch, touching stories, good acting, a couple wobbly seasons, but not bad by any means. so check that out if your haven't. also bloodline on netflix is a good slow burn tv show and only 3 seasons
The Mountain woulda waxed "some soldiers" had they tried this BS.
D&D's shytty writing has subjected us to every idiot with a Twitter handle feeling emboldened to suggest something "better"
7 was just as bad as 8 but I largely agreeYou on the writing staff for this show or something? You beennonstop man.
"They been rushing since season 4" is a bold faced lie compared to what they pulled in season 8. Cut the bullshyt out man. Cats really in here lying their asses off like any season prior to this one (outside of parts of 7) was this rushed. Or as poorly received as season 8, critically, among fans and critics.
And "if you don't want to see them run the show into the ground, wait for the books" is not valid advice. shyt makes no sense whatsoever. They couldn've....gee, I dunno....not ran the show into the ground?
Fred.
That's a good point. I was gonna add syrio but the hound would disagreeSer Jorah took out a Dothraki leader, survived the pits of Mereen, went face to face with stone men, helped siege Yunkai , was the MVP of the battle beyond the wall wielding dragon glass daggers, and wouldn't allow himself to die until his queen was safe from the dead
Give me Jorah the Andal over prime Jamie, prime Dayne, and prime Selmy
