I don't get the "they're forcing the mad queen" narrative. This ain't no recent development.

That bytch been crazy. The 13 exposed her way back in qarth. Her whole Arc is based on entitlement

:stopitslime: you ain't even from westeros.

If this was how madness was judged on GoT then only Sam and that dusty chick of his would be considered sane.

Why do y’all say that anytime someone is critical of the show? There’s a spectrum here. Some people hate no matter what and others (such as myself) didn’t have a negative opinion until episode 3. Episode 4 is making me lose even more faith.

ya I was actually even defending the show (despite the decline in writing) up until ep 4

Jamie the only one who can get close enough to slide on Cersi but Bronn was right, his best days are behind him, he don't want that Mountain smoke.

I don't understand why everyone is losing their minds over a coffee cup and the season being rushed like one of the main actresses didn't have brain surgery and multiple aneurysms during filming. You know that had to take a toll on production.

The overlooked dialogue is always the key to this show Varys and Tyrian having a conversation of why d*cks matter, because they do, its symbolic of lineage and legacy. That is why so many men in Westeros for various reasons lost their manhood, Varys, Greyworm, y'all homie Reek. It is also a symbol that the 7 kingdoms will never completely bow to a woman, now matter how f*ckable she is. Even right now while big d*ck Cersi claiming the throne, half the realm on that Young Dro F.D.B. A man is going to have to rule the realm but Snowman ain't got the heart. But he got the contingency plan though, he always can shade off in the deep north with the free folk.

‘Game of Thrones’ Close-Up: Lesser of Two Evils


Alan Sepinwall on what Varys and Tyrion’s big talk reveals about the show’s finale — and why it’s a problem

Whole review: ‘Game of Thrones’ Close-Up: Lesser of Two Evils – Rolling Stone

So when Tyrion and Varys verbally joust in the Dragonstone throne room, there are two enormous problems occurring at once. First, Tyrion is arguing for a version of Dany that long since ceased to exist. To a degree, this is part of the text of the scene. But Varys isn’t the type to mince words in moments like this. That he doesn’t go as hard at Tyrion on this point as he could suggests Benioff and Weiss are, like Tyrion, a bit blind to what their Khaleesi has become, or at least would rather the viewers not fully realize it until things get worse next week.

More importantly, though, you have two of the show’s most vividly-etched figures (played by two of the best actors in the whole ensemble) arguing over which flavor of vanilla (Jon or Dany) would be the most exciting to serve at the end of this 73-episode meal. The writers haven’t served Tyrion particularly well in a while (his recent conversations with Sansa excepted), and Varys has always played a limited-by-design role in things, but it’s not hard to wish that they were somehow the top two contenders to replace Cersei. Or that Sansa and Bronn, or Gilly and Davos, or nearly any random surviving duo you could name, were at the front of the line for when Cersei finally leaves the balcony where she’s been standing smugly all season.

He also mentioned in the review that this episode could've been extended to two episodes with the post-war stuff but audiences might lose their patience if there isn't dragon action and plot twists.

:comeon:No reason to want to see the reactions of major characters learning the biggest secret on the show? A secret that changes everything they know so far?

If you don't think that's bad writing/directing:camby:We needed to see those reactions.

They've shown the R+L=J(A) reveal three separate times already....I didn't need to see a fourth.

What part of NO SPOILERS OR LEAKS DO YOU ALL NOT UNDERSTAND?

There has already been 4 people banned for spoilers in the "Endgame" thread. Now I see some of you:

1. Openly posting spoilers.

2. Trying to pass spoilers off as "theories".

Do you not understand other people that know the spoilers....know you're posting spoilers?

So when you get banned, don't be surprised. There has been 4 people reported for posting spoilers since last night.

Fred.
time to avoid this thread for the rest of the season

This makes zero sense to me and it really feels like people who have always felt cool towards Daenerys are eager to just accept that she has been descending into madness all series when in actuality she hasn't really done anything that could really be considered even close to crazy or evil.
Honestly all the people who are right now talking about how unfit to lead Dany is are either people who are jealous/don't like her or have been giving her shytty advice the entire time she's been associating with them.
She should have listened to Oleanna and ignored all that other bullshyt.

The Sansa shyt never happened and you're reaching with a bunch of the other shyt.

It happened in the books, when Samsa was even YOUNGER than she was in the show...about 11 or so. Which makes the hate even DUMBER than it already was back in S1.

because they never had anywhere close to Dany power.

if Dany was crazy, she would've flown to Red Keep and burned Cersei alive in season 7.


and Arya came back to Westeros and cooked all of Welder Fray's sons into meat pies:pachaha: Dany has been patient as shyt

They told her why she shouldn't do that though

Being highminded and egocentric and being crazy are two different things.

bytch is crazy, delusional, and has been about the crown by any means.

Wasn't shyt, but the sense of entitlement had her feeling herself, if xaro wasn't on his pawg shyt, that would be the end of her chapter. She's done mad queen shyt over the course of her whole career.

The most telling was the shyt with Jon yesterday. She care about the throne to the point where she fukking begged jon to hide who he was so she can be the queen. :gucci: she say she love Jon but she love that crown more.


And nikkas in here mad at Jon for not keeping quiet. :scust:
