Clarke is a terrible actress to play Danaerys . While I wont call Turner a great actress, she plays Sansa perfectly. I really dont like how they are wiping out all the major and minor houses. Arya killing the entire House Frey with one toast is a little ridiculous. Then you have the Tarleys, who were never bound to the Lannisters until this skirmish, refusing to to submit and instead let their House be destroyed. The Lannisters and Starks seems to be indestructible.
Isn't that the point? The Lannisters are the "final bosses." The Starks are the main protagonists of the story.
Ol Ned made sure to carry a bunch of spares. The Martells had one kid, the Tyrells had 2 (one male), and the Baratheons had no legitimate ones. Eliminating those great houses wasn't all that difficult really.
Arya and Lady Monmont have jumped the shark to me The 12 yrs olds outsmarting and out fighting the older folx just getting old and Chances are it will result in Little Finger doing something stupid and out of character Arya relies on people underestimating her and ignoring her Little Finger has already shown he is doing neither Rocket River
When the show doesn;t kill characters, the audience complains. When they do the audience complains. This is how wars end. One side loses usually by dying a bunch. I enjoyed the Frey mass murder scene.
Night King is in no hurry. All he wants to do is dance Not getting all the critiques about the dead army being slow. Hasn't the whole show been about "Winter is Coming" and the dead army won't try to attack until another "Long Night", and will just go around conquering beyond the wall to get bigger and bigger.
Starks lost Ned, Caitlyn, Robb, and Rickon. Almost Jon too. Lannisters lost Tommen, Joffrey, Myrcella and Tywin. Hardly indestructible though 2 of the Starks are essentially super humans.
I was just trying to give you assistance in understanding that betrayal could be thought as complex yet it is a simple notion. No need to overthink this. I am sure Jaime did things behind her back earlier in the days, letting Tyrion vanish under Lannisters' watch.......... as Queen of the Andals she most likely cannot tolerate any kind of betrayal. So there is that. She is so blind in her madness, desire for power, sustainment her clan's name that she sometimes forgets that most of the things Jaime did was for her, for them. She is the female Mad Queen now. The Queen of Wild Fire. Whatever she says it's betrayal, no matter how minor, is Betrayal.
I can see that aspect, but the betrayal is not evident to me as factually laid out by the plot. Did she ever tell Jamie to bring her Tyrion or something like that? To me that would definitely be some kind of betrayal if Jamie did something that directly went against an order, but she's only been queen for a little while as well. Anyway, the line is still not clear to me and I'm clearly still overthinking it.
I question the writers. I think they want to keep it simple now unlike at the beginning of GOT. It is more about action now and less about tactics and strategy.
Or just extend the amount of episodes... I get it salaries are ballooning but the amount of viewers you would gain would become astronomical. We see what just happened two episodes ago when Dany swooped down with her dragons, record setting numbers. And that was with an episode leak.
And thats pretty much my point. The great houses have around for generations and all we are left with is a convenient 2-4 members of the family for most of the Great Houses. Note: This isn't a critique of the show but more of GRRM.
I've know about episode 6 for about a month now and I can't wait to actually see it. It's going to be intense. Also, if Cersei kills Bronn, Jamie is going to drop that B.
I think the point is that Jaimie obviously DIDN'T 'betray' Cersei, but yet she still SAID it, and we saw Jaimie's reaction to the word as almost disbelief. The fact that he didn't immediately dispute it with her shows that he is becoming more and more aware of her growing madness and that even he, the person closest to her, cannot trust her, not really.
Curious? Why do you think Clarke is 'terrible'? I would say she was nothing amazing her first few seasons but she has been doing well the past few seasons. Maybe it's the writing of her character that you don't like?
