I've been biting my tongue lo, all these weeks reading everybody's theories about Arya, Sansa and Littlefinger. So glad it's finally out in the open.
Spoilers Game of Thrones - Season 7
- Thread starter dahj
- Start date
The story is called "A Song of Fire and Ice". Of course it's about Dany (Fire) and Jon (Ice).
I knew that Jaime wouldn't turn his back on Cersei by betraying her, and I was right; although he's headed North without her, SHE's the one who pushed him away.
Aegon the Eighth's claim to the succession of the Iron Throne might legally supercede Dany's, but I doubt he'll actually take the crown, especially since they're now together and are most probably going to remain so until series' end. We'll likely see her rule as Danaerys I with him as her "Nephew-Husband" and "King-Consort", either under his real name or the name he's gone by his entire life.
Too late here for a full review now, but I wanted to give my thoughts on this for now. My take is that Brienne was there as one more way to drive a wedge between Jaime and Cersei. I wouldn't even be surprised if Bran suggested that they send Brienne down with this in mind. Whether or not that was planned, I think that was the impact. It wasn't Brienne alone, but she was part of that process of turning Jaime.
Once Sansa sent Brienne down to Kings Landing I figured there'd be a meeting like that.
Brienne was representing Sansa as the emissary of Winterfell, and Podrick was there as her Squire.
And, did you notice the split between Jaime and Cersei? The one you denied that could ever happen? It's ok--it's a tough show to predict! It's best to not be too definite about predictions when it comes to Game of Thrones!
I think the information they are about to learn will throw a kink into their relationship!
Um . . . No. Unless you were watching a different show than I was. He left her. He made up his mind that he could no longer live with her shit, and left. Very clear.
Their relationship is kinky enough as it is.
Cersei lied to him and forced him into a corner; she also nearly killed him. She was the catalyst for the dissolution of their seemingly unbreakable bond, not him.
And since I specifically denied that HE would betray HER, I was completely right.

Okay, as someone who is in Houston right now, I can't let this go. People did leave Houston before Rita hit. Millions on the road, traffic for 50-100 miles long, not only on every major highway out of the city, but on every backroad as well. People died in their cars and every major freeway was a parking lot. Don't ever compare the evacuation of a major American city of four and half million people with the paltry amount of people in Winterfell not taking precautions.
What the evacuation of a major American city looks like (this is Photobucket so I don't know if they'll show up)
Rita was over a decade ago and people here still remember this nightmare traffic like it was yesterday. Keep in mind that you are only seeing a sliver of one highway out of town and both sides of the freeway are being used. I managed to get out of Houston on a back road and a four hour trip to Dallas took over twelve hours. I was lucky. This traffic went from one side of Houston to the other and a good portion of the way to Dallas, 200 miles away. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. The one useful thing about this is that it showed what would happen if a major American city needed to be quickly evacuated. Hint: you're screwed.
Also, as a native Houstonian who is in Houston right now, and who has friends and family facing a life threatening event, catastrophic flooding and an uncertain future after it's all said and done, I'll thank you to keep your comments about this city and it's people to yourself.
Apologies to all for this detour.
We now return to our Game Of Thrones thread which is already in progress.....
I must say, White Walker version of Viserion looks as if he could kick/burn Drogon's arse. That was the longest sustained burn we've ever seen. Holy shit.
The extended running time gave us plenty of room for some great character moments.
Looking forward to the next episode! ... tick, toc, tick...

Thanks, that means a lot!
Family is safe so far. Friends that I've managed to get in touch with seem to be safe right now as well. Really, I shouldn't be in this thread spoiling stuff for myself since I didn't get to see it.....but I needed to take my mind off the storm. So keep on talking about the finale and I'll probably keep on reading about it.
I don't like to quote myself but I kind of called that one. I didn't expect an execution but that works too.
The falling of the wall (or at least part of it) was expected too, especially after the zombie dragon revelation. Dany/Jon romance was not a surprise either nor was the revelation of his parentage (based on the episode title). The moments that were not quite predictable were the zigzags by Cersei about whether or not she goes along with the armistice proposal. I think Cersei has a good plan, though she lost her loyal partner. Also great performance by Lena Heady,
I liked all the little reunions we saw in this episode: Tyrion and Bronn, Tyrion and Podrick, Brienne and the Hound, Brienne and Jaime, Sam and Bran, etc. I also liked the grudging respect that Cersei has for Ned Stark's honor-ability and by extension his son's
It's going to be a long wait till the 8th and final season.. We probably get the Westworld second season to distract us for a while.

I didn't mean to step on your toes.. i'm speaking about the idiots who decide to stay behind just because they're stubborn.. not because they don't have the means (lack of funds or vehicles) but because they say screw you to all reports and the government urging them to relocate.
They are the ones where FEMA and others have now go in to get.. amidst a storm and the heaviest rain on record possibly also endangering their lives. These are idiots, plain and simple and i surely don't compare them to the hundreds of thousands who have some brain cells in their skull and make preparations to evacuate as soon as possible and not be an undue burden on the disaster relief effort.
Sorry for the detour too, for me the case is closed now.
You tried to say you were right all along about William on Westworld after the fact too, completely changing your tune. C'mon, man.
If Jaime had the unshakeable bond you alleged, he would have just taken her betrayal of the others in stride and rolled with it. You specifically said he would stay with her no matter what and that he wasn't disturbed by her previous behavior at all and wasn't casting worried glances her way.
The costuming may not be real world authentic but as far as fantasy medieval garb goes they've been hitting it out of the park lately. Everyone's been looking really spiffy in those dark armors and robes.
