House of the Dragon (Game of Thrones) Thread

I really hope this Bran stuff leads to something good.

And I'd love to see Varys (if he actually left King's Landing on that ship with Tyrion), Tyrion and Ser Jorah forming an alliance to take the iron throne. That would be awesome.

They are the lions of justice!

The kid can warg into animals and a seven foot tall half-giant killing machine. What's not to love?

Speaking of, I feel so bad for Hodor. He's such a gentle giant and he's being forced by this kid to fightkill. I know it's all been self-defence so far, but I still can't help but feel for him whenever Bran uses him.

To answer a few of your questions.

All three of Cersei's children were fathered by Jamie. That book that Ned found in season one listed all the Baratheon's down the generations as having black hair (as do Robert's bastards like Gendry) except Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen.

The White walkers are the big, frosty dudes with the ice swords. Wights are the reanimated dead guys / babies with blue eyes.

The skeletons? Fuck knows.

I've always taken the Skeletons to be Wights, the bodies are just so old that they're just skeletons now.

I loved Stannis and that's a first for me. The view of the two sides pinching the forest from up above was absolutely awesome. It's nice to see Jon Snow give some props where they are deserved too. For the past few seasons - really since he got to the wall - Jon was always that guy who, and I don't want this to come across wrong but the guy who thought he was better than everyone. Obviously he didn't think that and in reality he was smarter than the lot. but him finally stepping up to someone smaller than him was nice and I think they could form a solid tag team. One that I didn't see coming either.

Hound going down was all sorts of sadness. Brienne isn't a bad character by any stretch, but I prefer the Hound over her ten fold. I am stoked that Arya is going to Bravos finally. I've been all sorts of curious about those assassins since they helped her escape and was wondering when they were going to bring that up again. It's comical in the sense though to think of how close all the Stark's have come to one another at some point (Bran -> Jon Snow) (Arya -> Sansa) and yet how far away from each other they are again.

Tywin was obviously the biggest "shock" for a death but I wasn't really all that stunned. It wasn't like a Ned Stark or even Oberyn, but he is really a character that I'm sad to see go. He was the head honcho for the Lannisters, the ultimate heels, and now they are down their leader. I can only assume this means Cersei will try and throw her power around now, but I'm more curious to see where Tyrion goes.

Where's Gendry?

[Ruki]

Good to know. Man, that boy sucks at rowing.

Was kinda sad that he didn't show up at all this season.

[Benji]

Poor lad had never rowed and doesn't know how to swim. Can't blame him for being slow and cautious.

[Gazz]

You all just wait for King Gendry of Sothoryos...

[Benji]

For myself, Srar, Kats, Double X and whoever else:

You know nothing Jon Snow exept how to get my engine revving

gay

[Benji]

Yes.

[Pleatherface]

Not a flattering picture. He looks like a hobo that happens to be a physical fitness enthusiast. Fur ruffles just suit that man.

.

[LUKIE]

Yes.

gross

[DMN in the House]

This... (spoilered for size)

and!

[Benji]

And so we enter the long winter once more...

It's really unfortunate HBO follows up Game of Thrones with True Blood... that is too jarring of a quality drop.

[Benji]

I like True Blood but I can't disagree with that statement.

[Benjamin]

That's why I can't wait for the Leftovers. I'm hoping it's gonna be at least quite good. My Monday mornings feel too empty with only Last Week Tonight to acquire legally.
