Am I the only one who doesn't think Jamie bailed on Brienne to go save/**** Cersei?

I feel confident he wants to stop the madness/stop her more than anything.... he might care about saving the child, which he knows is his.

I don't see him teleporting to King's Landing and taking command of the Lannister army in a bid to save Cersei.

I would agree with you.

I think he wants to save her but not by leading her armies but by convincing her to give up the throne and run away with him. I imagine he would perhaps go so far as to kidnap and leave Kings Landing with her in tow although will be prevented from doing so.

I can't believe anyone believes he's going back there to be with her.

It was so obviously the stupid, stupid trope, where the person leaving says mean shit to the person they're leaving behind so that person doesn't follow them. It's so fucking stupid and cliche.

They stole it from Harry and the Hendersons.

LMFAO. Do you remember when the Dothraki abandoned her and then rejoined her when she was the unburnt and had 3 dragons? Again Jon was made king in the north AFTER battle of the bastards. Before then he was “bastard” as Ramsey liked to remind him. And my point is the starks had absolutely nothing to do with LF showing up. Jon did nothing to persuade him to come. Like you said, they got lucky because he loved Catelyn. On the other hand when the Lannister’s use treachery they are actually involved in it. Like the red wedding. People fight for cersei because they fear her and she has killed everybody in her way this far. This is game of thrones dude nobody gives a **** if they want you on the throne. They’re all the same in the eyes of the people.
Cersei did nothing to earn the throne. Nobody likes her or fights for her. Hell, even the Golden Company, who never broke a contract, are gonna walk out on her.

Dude you take her dragons away and she doesn’t have shit. Nobody bowed to the targarenys they bowed to their dragons that’s just a well known fact. Nobody is going to fight for some spoiled blonde haired ***** who literally only wants a throne across the water. She is her brother now. Nobody would fight for Viserys. You just refuse to admit she came to their rescue because again LF loved Catelyn and Sansa reminded him of her and it’s hilarious. The starks had nothing to do with that they got lucky.
haha. She had the most powerful army assembled before the great war.
Cersei became Queen because she fucked Robert. No one would follow her if not for the fact she fucked Robert.

So not sure your point. I am saying LF pawned Cersei. He outsmarted her. Just like he is the one that saved her ass when Ned was about to expose her.

So if LF is responsible for Jon and Sansa success then he is also responsible for Cersei's as she only alive because of him.

LF is the one who outsmarted just about everyone. And it was the Starks that took him off the board due in large part to Bran and the writers since they changed him from what was in the books. If not for Bran tipping his siblings off, he would still likely be pawning the Lannisters.
Actually Cersei became queen cause she drove her last child to suicide and saw that as an opportunity to quickly park her evil ass on the Throne and claim it.
But will there be more than one dragon this Sunday?
no
Drogon lives, and carries away Dany's dead body
Well, that's just sad as ****
I meant from a meta perspective. Since Arya killed the NK then it seems his actual role was to be Dany's undoing. His role with respect to the NK was ultimately a red herring.
Jon was The Great Uniter. That was his role. In a world in which surnames and birth rights meant entitlement and power and all were just ever fixated on that, the one thought to be a bastard easily rose above it all to bring the majority together and fight the only war that ever mattered and also showed there's really nothing in a name.

And yet his name is going to cause all sorts of problems so in the end that whole narrative was shit. I get what you are saying but writers have destroyed their own narrative given what is expected to happen.

The writers treated the only war that ever mattered as filler and people will support Jon's claim if it comes to that because of his name.

Think he's gone to whisk her away before she is killed. He will fail and just end up dying with her.

I agree. It's my main problem with this final season. Nothing seen over the past 8 years matters a bit. No lessons ever learned.

Very good post, thank you.

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup. Which was way better than the show we're watching right now.

Pffft.

GRRM is a Tolkien fan

Smaug will make an appearance.

Meh, Smaug was a ***** that was taken down with one bolt.

Tho TBH an arrogant & inherently evil & gold-loving, talking dragon was pretty badass.....

Yes I agree but in the grand scheme of things the NK was a diversion. Utter waste of time. Jon's main role in the story that matters is as a threat to Dany.

Disagree, NK's death and overall impact to the plot was not paramount, but awesome villain, battle scenes, dead army, zombie dragon and zombie giants, pretty fucking badass (until his ultimately weak demise).

Still pissed we didn't get zombie ice spiders.

Yeah awesome villain who we know next to nothing about, who didn't raise a sword the entire show and who was a part of awesome battle scene where his generals did jack shit while he was killed by a little girl.

Better battle scene in the My Little Pony movie I just watched with my niece.

I have solved the biggest question people have after the last episode.
I don't even really care who sits on the throne now. What I really want to see is Westeros have some peace. Which means Jon and Dany should both die because they are, without question, fucking retards.

The people of Westeros deserve better than those two dumbasses.

If you had asked last season I would have said Tyrion would have made the best ruler, but apparently Jon and Dany's terminal stupidity is infectious and now Tyrion has it.



Sansa is the only lord/lady left who hasn't gone full moron. Seriously Sansa and Arya are the only main characters left who haven't turned completely moronic (that's ignoring the weirdly stupid and poorly plotted 'scheme' they had for trapping Littlefinger, or whatever their feigned stupid squabbling was last season)
Still see the Sansa character as very weak and bound to follow in the same footsteps as her mentor...yeah, she's full moron. And no real development in Arya. Like her basket case bro, she seems to have lost all humanity and has no interest in anything that doesn't involve killing someone or something.

It's plot was meant to be paramount. The writers just proved to not be good at handling such things....as we'll see again, I'm sure, in the end with the Iron Throne.
