Then the Lannisters started picking back up their swords to fight so the northern troops kinda had to get it on didn't they? Yeah that’s what happened. It was inevitable at that point that a full battle would erupt. If you’re a Lannister you would pick up your sword and if you’re a Notherner you don’t wait for dudes to challenge you to a square go at 3:15 behind the school. There were even civilians in the vicinity who most likely took up arms at that point ( I don’t feel like rewatching) unless Cersei’s administration was one of those grabber types.

After the 3rd episode of this season, I said to my wife(who is the reason why I watch this show) that my theory was that MArtin has ALL of them written, and is just waiting for this cultural phenomenon to shit the bed on the finish. Then he can look awesome when he dumps them out every year after this season ends. So I want this to be true so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSC Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 So George is basically Cersei? Let the show go to war with the fans, say you're sending your army (writing the books) when really you have 20,000 (2 books) sitting there with you at home. Let the fans tear apart the show, making any changes necessary and release the books as the savior. Fucking mad genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've just liked to have more than only Jon and Davos taking issue with what some of their fellow soldiers were doing. Someone else stopping one of their buddies from slitting a woman's throat. Does this mean a good chunk of Jon's army no longer loves him and his bland, honorable ways and are now loyal to the woman who gave them the cue to slaughter innocents? And does it no longer count as a war crime to kill surrendered soldiers if they start defending themselves after being attacked from behind? Good thing their crazy queen won't care about sorting that out to punish anyone. You would have your head on a swivel most likely and be focused on self preservation with the chaos going around. I don’t know if it’s a war crime or not but if dudes mean you harm and have the tools in hand it’s the old adage about better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Obviously the raping and other stuff is separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I don't remember it being specifically addressed, but I can't imagine Cersei allowed smallfolk to be armed inside King's Landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if this wasn't Martin's ending, I believe it's what Martin told them but even if his ending is different.. anyone expecting a happy ending was going to be in for a tough read. He just isn't going to deliver that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn’t let some royalty tell them they can’t have the means to defend their life and families while she rolls around with some 8 foot armed behemoth. I should probably stop.

jaedmc Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 That fucking horse. Dude. When Arya woke up and saw the horse, after all the fake outs, I just wanted her to really be dead. And I wanted her to go to this horse and touch it, and I wanted Sean Bean to step up and say "Get on." And he'd lead her into the afterlife as we cut to her scorched body under the rubble. 5 minutes ago, CSC said: So George is basically Cersei?

Brian Fowler Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I've seen the "Martin secretly finished the books" theory awhile back, but I don't really buy it. I mean, it's possible, but both books in 8ish years? Seems highly unlikely. And that's assuming he even manages to fit it into just two books. Remember, it was supposed to be a trilogy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 The Martin finishing the book stuff does sorta feel like hardcore book fans trying to find the silver lining or some ray of hope in all of this. Wishful speculation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 When Stannis was besieging King's Landing, Cersei locked herself and some of the highborns in the throne room. Armed herself with poison so she could go full Shane Vendrell with young Tommen if Stannis won. Why'd she watch this battle a balcony? Was she convinced she couldn't lose? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
