I like Daenerys but I’m hoping for Jon Snow to get his happy ever after, and Arya too :)

It wasn't GRRM it was an Exec at HBO. They are 90 minutes long.

I'll be joining the Nights Watch and watching at 2am.

No fucker is spoiling this for me. Grin

Peanutss · 12/01/2019 11:42

I can never watch the early morning releases due to work. I have to avoid conversation with everyone in the office just in case until I can get home.

Eatmycheese · 12/01/2019 11:42

@Peanutss I have decided that tonight I will stop watching the saccharine "This is Us" and put my GoT hat back on instead.
Just need to try not to fall asleep ten minutes in due to no bastarding sleep yet again thanks children.

Eatmycheese · 12/01/2019 11:43

@BartonHollow see I can't even get my sources right GrinGrinGrin

I'm fucked for April unless I up my game.

@Peanutss

I repeatedly do it and drag myself up looking like a White Walker a few hours later BlushGrin

Peanutss · 12/01/2019 11:48

Oh God, who wants sweetness and roses. Give me gore, bloody gore. And swearing and fighting to the death. And...well maybe we can leave out the incest.

PS. I'm not actually a psychopath. I am currently entralled in my own soppy sentimental TV series.

WillBendTheKnee4Jon · 12/01/2019 11:50

Not a fan of Cersei but Elia deserved what she got.

Morgan12 · 12/01/2019 12:22

Dany and Jon 100% die. Their child will rule aided by Arya and Tyrion.

Sansa will die for Arya in some way.
Jamie will kill Cersei.

I'd like to see Ayra and Gendry together but I don't see Arya getting any ending that includes a man. It doesn't feel right for her.

LaurieMarlow · 12/01/2019 12:25

Lordy, I wouldnt want Arya anywhere near the throne, she's a fledgling psychopath (not her fault, she's damaged beyond repair by her experience).

Mind you, in the books at least Tyrion is not much better.

I think Sansa will emerge as the only one with the skills to rule. However there might not be anyone left to rule by the end.

Trills · 12/01/2019 12:31

Elia Martell died approx 17 years before the series began.

And I think it's completely unwarranted to say she "deserved what she got", given that what she got was raped and murdered by the Mountain (and her children murdered too), and we have no information that she did anything bad.

Who is it you're actually talking about?

Peanutss · 12/01/2019 12:33

I assume the pp meant Ellaria Sand

LaurieMarlow · 12/01/2019 12:33

Those dornish names are damn confusing

UsedtobeFeckless · 12/01/2019 12:35

They killed her daughter! They had it coming ... ( l like Circe, she's a horrible person but you can see why! )

Butchyrestingface · 12/01/2019 12:38

How many daughters did Cersei kill?

LaurieMarlow · 12/01/2019 12:40

Cersei basically engineered the death of Oberyn. Revenge was a given.

Peanutss · 12/01/2019 12:43

The problem with Cersei is she never learns from her mistakes. She's so clouded by wanting to win that she doesn't ever consider the consequences of her actions like Dorne revenging the death of Oberyn.

She makes a brilliant villain though.

UsedtobeFeckless · 12/01/2019 12:51

Oberyn's mistress and the sand snakes killed Circe's daughter - poisoned her with a kiss.

UsedtobeFeckless · 12/01/2019 12:54

Only the one sand snake daughter was poisoned by Circe in revenge, l think Crazy Uncle Ewww did for the other two when he took their ship.

BartonHollow · 12/01/2019 13:04

Yes I did mean Ellaria Sand !

I'm shocked I made such an embarrassing mistake

Too similar names! I've done it before. Blush

The Sand Snakes were Oberyns daughters by various different women.

One the youngest, was biologically Ellaria's so Euron killed the other two Obara and Nymeria and took Tyene with Ellaria to Cersei

It was an eye for an eye justice for Myrcella
who WAS completely innocent and Tyene complicit in her murder.

Myrcella is another way in which book to show differs, when Joffrey dies, the Dornish attempt to claim the Iron Throne in her name and as part of it, she falls from her horse and is horrifically disfigured.

Still alive currently as per book

MyOtherProfile · 12/01/2019 13:07

@LaurieMarlow You read my mind!

The hound will fucking destroy the mountain in cleganebowl and be the hero of westeros and my heart will rejoice... He'll survive to live happily ever after in the post battle westeros wasteland with Sansa.
Yes! All of this!

ElspethFlashman · 12/01/2019 13:10

Cersei is as thick as two short planks.

I just remembered that it was heavily speculates that Tyrion and Cersei made a deal. In that conversation when he dares her to kill him once and for all and realises she's pregnant? We never see the end of that conversation, just her walking out afterwards and being suddenly conciliatory.

Of course we later discover it's all bullshit but Tyrion doesn't know that yet. Only Jaime knows and he's on the move North.

So there could be some serious blow back for Tyrion there. I think he's on fairly thin ice with Dany. She likes him, but can be a cold fucker herself, and takes "betrayals" (real or imagined) really badly.

This thread is almost making me want to rejoin westeros.org aka Neckbeard Central.

....... Almost...... Hmm

UsedtobeFeckless · 12/01/2019 13:15

#totallyteamhoundhere Oh yes!

UsedtobeFeckless · 12/01/2019 13:19

Sansa should rule the North. She's a Stark and she's got what it takes to be a good ruler. Tyrion has too, l wonder if he'll be last man standing after it all blows up? Tyrion and Bronn - it could be worse ... 😁

Trills · 12/01/2019 13:19

Aha, that makes a lot more sense (Ellaria Sand vs Elia Martell)
