Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended

Kind of hoping Cersei doesn't die, she's like the only true villian left. Other than those crazy Boltons. The religious police thing will probably back fire on her though.
 
I didn't say that he can't post here. I was suggesting that he might be happier not watching and talking about something that he obviously doesn't like. Seems logical to me.

Maybe he likes that aspect?

I find fanboys telling others what they can and can't do is worse than any negativity. I had it in TWD thread before. Not everyone is so rosey about everything and people see things differently. This is a message board and all opinions and view types should be welcome and free to say what they like, there's always the option of ignoring views you don't like.


Anyway I'm liking Season 5, the build up is quite clear and though individual episodes might be a little more boring than before, the character arc building is better for me.

You make the same mistake as most of Westeros, ignoring the real "villian".

Thanks, and @Andy_Cole.

Ok. So that story Baelish was telling Sansa...Raygar Targaryan threw his flowers at her because he fancied her, and even though she was betrothed to Robert B, or married, he raped and killed her. This led to Ned and Robert forming an alliance and killing the Mad King? Is that correct?

Here's a link to a bit about it on the GOT wiki. It's TV Show-Only information as long as you don't read past the "In the books" heading (obviously).

Silver hair is a Targaryen trait, but usually Targaryen's marry within their own house, and so the features remain the same. In this case it is a Stark and a Targaryen, so it's not the same as others.

This is possibly the only case where a Targaryen had a child with someone outside the house.


Did you learn all this by watching the show?

The Walking Dead is all over the place though, anyone can see that. Comparing GoT to TWD is disingenuous.

As for Jon's parentage, what everyone is discussing is a big book theory, one that makes the most sense, but how one could extrapolate that from the show I'll never know.
 
In season 2, Cersei and Tyrion go over this in detail, for example.

Fair enough matey. I see what you mean now though, it does all make sense that way with what we've learned so far this season and Stannis once again mentioning Ned and his honour. It's pretty obvious that Ned didn't do it, has been all along, but with Selmy having that talk with old Khaleesi, and LF/Sansa, it seems more clear what actually happened.

Not really. Both share similarities in that they try to have real world characters and plots in a "fantasy" setting, and both are incredibly overrated.

GoT is still far better than TWD though, obviously.

:lol: What? Are you trying to come across clever here or did you missinterpret what I said?

My point is you can just ignore posts you don't like, as not everyone sees everything the same. It's irrelevant what thread or discussion we talk about mate, the point is the same.

I don't know, it does make sense now it's been pointed out and the clues are there. I've been accused by some pleb (lolzy) of being a book reader in the past just for getting something right, so I'm willing to give benefit of doubt here :)

Which is my gripe with that "theory" about Jon Snow. How you could deduce that from what we have seen and heard so far. He's thrown two names into the mix which have been mentioned briefly once! I had to google their names because they didn't even ring any bells and saw all sorts of stuff I shouldn't. Basically, from the last episode lots of book readers with far more information than us have started to post theories and there's no place for them in this thread IMO.

I prefer walking dead to GOT, and get very insulted when everyone slags my favourite show that thread

Well I hope that's not the case, I just don't get why people do that :(

But as I said above, now it's been pointed out you can see the pieces in the tv show.

YOUR FACE IS OVERRATED.

@Redlambs I wasn't trying to be clever, I was just referring to the criticisms of TWD. It's the most inconsistent show since Lost.

I don't think I am a fanboy. I wasn't even looking forward to the new season but I have to admit that I am intrigued by events now.

The show is daft, it has dragons and magic! Take it for what it is - entertainment. That is how I look at it.

There is a difference between critique and sniping though. Anyways I will heed advice and ignore.

I don't know about Lambs but I've never touched the books.

However, I have watched the show quite carefully, a few times over.

Well one of rn's criticisms (which a lot of us have agreed more and more with as time goes on) is that some stories aren't entertaining, particularly dragon lady.

I'm not a book reader, but I did hear about that theory from a youtube video, some cnut just randomly spewed, and thus, it was my first major spoiler. Although in fairness, it hasn't even being confirmed by GRRM. But it seems the most likely. Even the book title alludes to it. "A Song of Ice & Fire".

Yeah I get that, but you missed the point.

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest you were a set fanboy I worded that poorly :)

But it happens all the time on here and elsewhere, sure repeated moaners get annoying, but you said it was logical for him to stop watching and that's not for you to say. What's logical is to ignore him if he gets on your nerves, because he's breaking no rules here and is entitled to his opinion.

I don't know about Lambs but I've never touched the books.

I've just finished the 2nd book. I don't know a thing about the future as I don't know any book readers and I tend to stay away from social media mentions of Got and all that.
 
I don't think Sansa has to be worried about Ramsay. She'll probably be able to wrap him around her finger with all that Littlefinger has taught her about playing the game. Plus Roose won't want her harmed. He didn't want Theon harmed originally and Sansa is far more valuable than Theon.

It's Ramsay's girlfriend that will probably go after Sansa. When Sansa and Ramsay were introduced to each other, the camera pulled away and focused on her and she didn't look too pleased.
 
Jon Snow Birth Speculation/theory...

Just had an interesting idea pop in my head. We know that Ned was an honourable man... what if Jon wasn't actually Neds child but his sister's Leannes? That would make Littlefingers chat to Sansa in the crypt mean something. So what if Jon Snow is in fact Leannes and Rhaegars son? Leanne fearing for her son's safety asks Ned to adopt him as his bastard knowing that Jon would then be safe in Winterfell. That also makes sense given how reluctant Ned was to talk about his mother and his out of character it was for him to have a bastard in the first place.

Rhaegar was Daenryis older brother and Leanne was Neds dead sister (the one Rob Barath went to war over).

@Pexbo who are the book readers?

This is the post I replied to. I have no idea how he could have deduced that from the series so far. What's more, when I searched for Leanne and Rhaegar to find out who the hell they were the two articles I have read that were pushing exactly this theory say that it's the theory all the book readers are making.
