It was as if they resented being obligated to include that piece of book content and passive-aggressively decided to introduce in the most jarring, discordant, and make-it-look-like-pandering way possible.

J.T. Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I fell for the content swerve. I saw the TV-MA Nudity and Strong Sexual Content warning and then Candice Van Houten's name was in the credits and I was like okay who is Melisandre banging this week and then it is Missandei booty that shows up on my television and I knew that if Grey Worm didn't get naked too, my beloved female domestic partner was going to throw a skillet at me.

Mind you, this talk is getting too far into the weeds... but fuckface Littlefinger turning Sansa against Jon just needs a small push. Does it really matter at this point? Jon was essentially elected King of the North because of defeating the Boltons and avenging the Red Wedding (although Arya did a far better job of that in one shot). Although all bets are off if they discover Jon's half-Targaryen, regardless of if he's half-Stark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 It's never mattered. Remember Varys' riddle. The biggest army/largest coin purse/most loyal followers is always first in the line of succession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All bets are off if Dany finds out that he's half-Targaryen because that makes Jon just as much of a threat to her rule as being an honorable man and King of the North makes him an attractive ally. Jon may want to watch himself if Dany suggests that he should be crowned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 So Varys is def gonna fuck over Dany and she's gonna have the dragons burn him alive. Then when Jon Snow won't bend the knee she's going to try to have the dragons burn him, but he won't burn. I think that's how everyone figures out his true parentage.

Throat Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 If Varys does betray her, I hope he has a good reason, like she's losing her mind like her father. What other reason would he have? As long as she doesn't become The Mad Queen, she's the realm's best bet. Wasn't Jon burned in the first season while he was fighting the wight that tried to kill Jeor Mormont?

Quote Granny: Do Targaryens become immune to fire once they "bond" to their dragons? George_RR_Martin: Granny, thanks for asking that. It gives me a chance to clear up a common misconception. TARGARYENS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE! The birth of Dany's dragons was unique, magical, wonderous, a miracle. She is called The Unburnt because she walked into the flames and lived. But her brother sure as hell wasn't immune to that molten gold. Dany is immune to the fire from her dragons; not to fire in general. If Dany's dragons breathe on Jon, he will probably be burned to a crisp because he is not a pure Targaryen and more importantly, he is not bonded to the dragons...

Renly jumped the succession line and amassed the biggest army simply b/c people thought he'd make a better king than Stannis. He had no "legal" right to the crown b/c he was younger than Stannis.

Michael Sweetser Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 From what I've seen, in the books, she's not immune to fire - hence her hair burning off in the original pyre. In the show, however, she's pretty much invulnerable to heat/fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 They better have more than one giant crossbow. I can only imagine how hard I'm going to laugh when they fire off the one and only giant crossbow bolt at a dragon and it whiffs miserably. As for Jon, who knows. Maybe he's like Beric and the Lord of the Light keeps bringing him back as well. And I doubt Varys betrays Dany. Varys isn't stupid. More than likely, once Dany wins, if she wins, Varys will go off on his own again doing spy like shit here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 The dude said they had people working on them, so imagine they'll have a billion of them sitting somewhere ready to go. They seem to be great at stockpiling weapons of mass destruction. I don't think Varys betrays her, but I garauntee we have that moment where he goes "Remember when I promised I'd tell you when you were fucking up? It's right now."

Craig H Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 That's like a wife or girlfriend saying, "let me know when I'm acting like a shithead." That shit NEVER goes well, unless you're with an open minded person. Dany strikes me as someone where it takes quite a bit of nudging to change direction.
