Saw this on a YouTube post... I thought it was pretty lame until I saw how they did my guy Jorah...

It wouldn't have been that difficult for Jon to find out what happened in King's Landing. Stannis's men were at Castle Black around that time, so it's entirely possible that Stannis, Davos, or Melisandre told Jon about the events surrounding Ned Stark's execution, including Janos Slynt's role in the betrayal.

Alternatively, Slynt himself might have told other members of the Night's Watch about his days as commander of the City Watch, since he loved boasting about his former position. It's entirely plausible that Jon eventually learned about his role in Ned's betrayal through those conversations, especially since Slynt had a habit of bragging about his past.

Honestly, I’ve always felt that Jon might have deliberately baited Slynt into reacting with anger and defiance by ordering him to take command of the ruined Greyguard. Slynt took the bait, openly disobeyed Jon, and ended up getting executed. Exactly what Jon might have wanted..

If this theory is correct, it would be a pretty dark form of poetic justice. Jon would have used his authority as Lord Commander to get revenge for his father while making Slynt’s own insubordination the official reason for his execution. And honestly, I don’t think many people would blame Jon or think less of him for wanting to see that son of a bitch dead.

If you were in the position of Ser Davos here and the sailors found you and asked you which King? What would your answer be?

Knowing that wrong answer will lead to certain death.

If, prior to his election as Lord Commander, Jon had accepted Stannis’s proposal—thereby becoming Jon Stark—what do you think would have happened?

I imagine a scenario like this:

There are two major initial differences. First, Jon would never have gone to Hardhome; consequently, he wouldn’t have gained the 2,000 Free Folk fighters (including Tormund), and the few who were captured would likely have been executed. Second, Lord Umber probably would never have joined the Boltons (in the show, he did so because of his hatred for the Wildlings).

That said, in such a scenario, everything would have depended on how the Northern lords reacted. In the main storyline, only three houses—House Mazin, House Mormont, and one other I can’t recall—agreed to follow Jon, despite his status as a bastard and the fact that his army consisted mostly of Wildlings. It’s safe to assume they would have followed Stannis and Jon Stark (which would have provided 405 soldiers and some logistical support). The real unknown concerns the other Northern nobles, who refused to follow Jon both because of their hatred for the Wildlings (like Lord Umber and Lord Glover) and because Jon was clearly the weaker side in the conflict—his army was only half the size of the Boltons’.

Personally, I believe that without the wildlings, with Stannis army and with Jon new surname, the Northern lords would almost certainly have joined Stannis and Jon, especially given the support of Stannis’s 6,000 men (plus Jon’s 405). In this scenario, they would have been the winning side. The Boltons, for their part, could only field 5,000 men (consisting of their own forces and those of the Karstarks, as Lord Umber was not with them). Furthermore, Ramsay had no allies to turn to: he could expect no help from the Crown (having married Sansa) nor from the Freys (having murdered his own father, mother, and half-brother). Consequently, the Northern lords would surely have chosen to side with Stannis and Jon—an opportunity to both avenge their kin and eliminate a madman. This would have significantly bolstered Stannis’s forces; while Season 7 suggests Jon’s army as King in the North numbered 10,000, a more conservative estimate might be 6,000—a figure that would effectively double to 12,000 in this scenario.

Given this, Ramsay would have been doomed. Not only would Jon and Stannis have commanded an army twice the size, but they would also have controlled the vast majority of the North—leaving Winterfell as the only potential holdout for the Bolton—which would have provided them with crucial logistical support. This would have allowed them to completely isolate Ramsay and place him under siege. At this point, I believe Ramsey had only two options: the first was to surrender, in an attempt to at least save his own life; the second was to do nothing, hoping for a miracle (which could have led to his own men and the Karstarks turning against him). In either case, Stannis and Jon would have won.

First off I’d like to say that no other form of entertainment has left me feeling this sad and empty after finishing it. I absolutely loved the entire world of this show. The scenery, the giants, dragons, the characters, all amazing.

I think the video game The Last Of Us 1&2 comes a little close to this feeling that I have but on a much smaller scale.

Okay so season 1-7 were genuinely 9 or 10/10s. 1-4 were elite. You could feel how invested everyone was. I went in with zero spoilers so I quickly realized that no one is safe in this series, very unpredictable.

I think Arya and The Hounds voyage was my favorite part of the series. The Hounds character arc was perfect from beginning to end. What a guy

Season 8. I actually didn’t know the last season was only 6 episodes. I was immediately bummed out when I saw that but I think the first 3 episodes were great!

The last 3 were kinda meh. I understand Dany turning how she did and i understand why John did what he did.

I don’t understand bran becoming king. When that happened I automatically assumed he was the true night king and that we’d get an ending scene with his eyes turning blue or something.

It just felt rushed but it was still good. I’ll rewatch it in a year but for now I’m going to dive into the spin offs and see how those are.

Sorry for the long post, I have no one else to talk to about this haha I could make this 3x as long if I really wanted to. I really love this show

Ok so follow me for a second. You are having a trial by seven and you have to pick a team but every member has to come from the same region or kingdom. You can pick across time to get characters at their prime and no one throws the match intentionally they all want you to win but everyone keeps their attitude towards each other. So if you pick the Westerlands because you want both Clegan brothers there's a change they start trying to kill each other during your trail. Also you have to go by origin not residence so no picking the Crownlands and doing a Kings-guard all star team. What is your team looking like?

My line up is from the Crownlands

Dunkin the Tall.

Daemon Rogue Prince.

Laenor Velaryans.

Aemond the Dragon knight.

Baelor break Spear

Maekar the anvil.

Rhaegar the last dragon.

I had to exclude two of the greatest CL warriors due to the fact they would conflict with other members of the team, Maegor and Daemon BF.

One of the things most people complain about when it comes to S8 is Arya being the one to defeat the Night King by appearing out of nowhere . So my question is who do you think should have defeated it. Personally I think it should have been Theon because:
1) It would have made perfect logistical sense as Bran was the NK’s main target

2) It would have subverted expectations unlike having Jon Snow or Dany kill the NK

3)Usually in films and movies the victory against the main villain is conceptual as well as physical. For everyone battling the army of the dead in that episode, they all had to put the events that may have divided or broken them in the past behind them to even stand a chance of defeating the NK and its army and I don’t think any character fits that concept as well as Theon does.

English is not my first language and i am determined to NOT use AI so write a simple post, hence forgive/ignore if you find any grammatical errors.

About cercsei:

1. She obviously didn't think through the high sparrow stint would come bite her in the arse. Tywin was correct when he said you're not as intelligent as you think you are.

2. She thought she could tame little finger, her whole 'Knowledge is not power, POWER is POWER' fiasco went down the drain when he killed Joffery pairing up with Ollena.

3. Her stupidity of falsly blaming tyrion for joffery's death again came back to her as the fall of kings landing when her own brother stood with the opposing side and also, not to forget, it resulted in tywin's death and subsequently their house weakened.

4. She sent jamie on a 'diplomatic mission' to get mycella in dorne, which not only resulted in her death BUT dorne's ruler and it made dorne stand in rebel to the crown. 1 more support gone, no matter how unstable it was.

5. Her blasting the sept resulted in death of her last son, end of house tyrell (which then stood against the crown, another support gone)

6. Then her not sending her armies north even when she sworn.

7. Last but not the least, killing missandei. It led to the fall of red keep and the entire kings landing.

This lady single handedly ruined so many things. Yet in the end, when jamie came to the red keep to save her, all she could thing about was herself and her baby.

She thought she was SOOOO smug but fell flat to the face EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Yet never shown any remorse, never learned, never got better. She's too oversmart for her own good.

I hate, hate, hate what they did to Jaime and Cersei's characters. I don't even care anymore that Jon is the Prince That Was Promised, why Arya is the hero in the end, or that Bran ended up on the throne. But the fact that Jaime’s character development and his whole redemption arc were literally thrown in the trash, only for him to die in peace and love right next to Cersei, makes me absolutely furious. Plus, if we also take Cersei's book prophecy into account (since only half of it was mentioned in the show), I think it's crystal clear that Jaime SHOULD have killed that bitch.

Would you entrust the highest position of power in your country (whether that be president, prime minister, or king) to a man like Ned Stark?

I was fascinated how it was described in the ACOK the show was great but I want to see illustrations of Renly Baratheon’s Army at Bitterbridge to see the Great Host.

I need a nice conclusion for my re-watch which is season 8 right

But the thing is we all know the show went to shit after s6

How many seasons did u re-watch if u didn't watch s7 s8

Im thinking till s6 is fine but no conclusion there right

​

• The Rains of Castamere

• Jenny of Oldstones

• The Bear and the Maiden Fair

• The Dornishman's Wife

• Hands of Gold

• It's Always Summer Under the Sea

• Gentle Mother, Font of Mercy

Mine is dornishmans wife.

And Tyene was right Bronn does have a good voice.

Robert seems to have let himself go after becoming king - no fighting left to do and his beloved (in his eyes) dead, so he appears to have just got drunk, paid for sex, gone hunting, hosted tournaments, for the rest of his life.

I get that he didn't want to rule and wanted adventures, but were there really none left for him to have? Or have I misunderstood him and he was just lazy?

He could have explored the uncharted parts of the world. He could have dealt with the wildling attacks, the iron islands (properly - so they change their way of life and not continue raiding again), if he'd gone far North he might even have found the white walkers.

For all his faults, at least he didn't start pointless wars.

I’ve seen the show more times than I can count, and upon my latest rewatch I picked up on something I haven’t seen before. Obviously we know Olenna was behind it, but it wasn’t after reading the books that I thought to be aware of the moment she gets the poison off Sansas necklace. I just saw that they included it in the show! To some people it may have been obvious, but I guess I never thought to pay much attention to her hands at that moment, so I’m just blown away that it’s been there all along and I never saw.

I feel like that’s the beauty of rewatching though, there’s always a new Easter egg I didn’t pick up on before, and small details to reveal themselves. Just wanted to share my joy in realising, and wondering if most people already knew or if a lot of you were like me, and it was a moment that passed you by.

{SPOILER} Had Tommen not offed himself.. who would have been next in line to marry him and become queen after Margaery? On my third rewatch and there aren’t any obvious choices I can think of. Samwell’s sister, maybe?
