Yes.

 

[Volimar]

Yeah the pose just reminded me of it. Sorry for the minor detail, I figured everyone would know that meme.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Is there a good chance Dany and Jon will get down this episode? I hope so.

 

[Heshinsi]

Haha I suppose the assumption was that we knew the meme. No need to apologise Volimar

 

[molnizzle]

Is there a good chance Dany and Jon will get down this episode? I hope so.

Maybe, but if Jon ever finds out that he fucked his aunt he ain't gonna be happy.

 

[Melon Husk]

there was that one scene in the trailer

Spoiler

of someone on a boat reaching a shore, then getting out of the boat and falling to their knees. I think that is Theon.

Maybe Gendry is back at Kings Landing? He's probably the one that helped build the giant crossbow?

Is Genry just a meme at this point, or is there a chance he's actually coming back?

edit: I don't see it happening unless a bittersweet ending means Westeros burns to the ground and the families with it... The only way to win is not to play?

 

[molnizzle]

They wouldn't have done a Hot Pie cameo if they weren't gonna bring back Gendry.

 

[Heshinsi]

Dude died and came back. Don't think he has the time to be pissed about things like that when the world (or just Westeros really) is about to be fucked.

 

[Volimar]

After Nymeria and Hot Pie, I'd be more surprised if he didn't show up.

 

[Melon Husk]

They wouldn't have done a Hot Pie cameo if they weren't gonna bring back Gendry.

I thought Hot Pie was purely for exposition. Hot Pie and and Nymeria's scenes were purposeful to show how Arya had changed as a person. The direwolves have deeper meaning in this series. It's significant that her own wolf barely recognized her and would not follow her path.

Well targaryens like to keep it in the family. So maybe not.

 

[xrnzaaas]

wrong thread, sorry ;p

you kids with the incest talk, its like game of thrones is set in shelbyville and everyone is looking for an attractive cousin

It ain't incest if you don't know you're related.

 

[HvySky]

Jon hasn't even met Danaerys yet and y'all already asking for some family action. So thirsty.

 

[Speevy]

Dany's like "Bend the knee." and Jon is like "No u."

And then Jon was a Targaryen

 

[Technosteve]

Dany's like "Bend the knee." and Jon is like "No u."

Dany's the man in this relationship. How Dare You.

 

[Speevy]

I just realized that to date, Stannis Baratheon is the only general/ruler to realize that killing the leader of a giant army (Renly) will demoralize and defeat that army without having to kill them.

 

[OrionX]

Dany's like "Bend the knee." and Jon is like "No u."

Hopefully they'll find a way to compromise. Like, Dany will give him a dragon and some dragonglass and in exchange he'll marry her and lose the man bun.

 

[VeeP]

Dany tells Jon marry me and Jon is like I Know Nothing

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

Bring forth the wincest.

 

[Heshinsi]

I just realized that to date, Stannis Baratheon is the only general/ruler to realize that killing the leader of a giant army (Renly) will demoralize and defeat that army without having to kill them.

He didn't realise shit, it was the Red Woman who told him what to do and then formed the plan to do it. Stannis actually does very little to be honest. The Red Woman convinced him that Ser Davos shouldn't be executed and that the Lord of Light wants him to go North. It was Ser Davos that helped convince the Iron Bank to bankroll Stannis after he stood there like a muppet and was about to turn around and walk out. It was the Red Woman who told him that he needed to sacrifice his in laws and his daughter. Dude was a fucking loser.

 

[Speevy]

Okay fine, but it still worked. Dany should ride a dragon into King's Landing and roast Cersei as she's walking out of the red keep one day.

 

[Curufinwe]

Tywin did it,too. Killed the leader of a giant army at a wedding since he could not beat him on the battlefield.

red wedding?

I just realised this is the first episode this season that I will be able to watch live tonight instead of on Monday.

YEA!!!!!!

[DarkJediKnight]

Fair enough on the last point, but I thought Rhaegar had defeated Dayne at Harrenhall (when he spurned his wife for Lyanna), and also at a tournament before that too, or was that just jousting/some other type combat?

Tourney win vs real fighting is completely different.

I'm not going to bring up the books but Rhaegar is not even a challenge to guys like Jaime, Arthur and Barristan. Those 3 are elite level with Arthur and Barristan being even better than Jaime.

For example, when Lord Commander of the Kingsguard Gerold Hightower tells Ned in season 6 that "The usurper would be lying beneath the ground if we had (been at the trident)". He's not kidding.

By that logic, Rhaegar never had a chance to beat Robert due to Robert's strength. He was very good but not elite level.

 

[Heshinsi]

Flying a dragon down to the Red Keep in an attempt to one shot Cersei, is the Westerosi equivalent of launching a nuke into Damascus to get at Assad.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Dany's like "Bend the knee." and Jon is like "No u."

Jon is a people pleaser. He'll do whatever it takes to fight the wights. He'll bend the knee to show that he doesn't put himself above the greater good and Dany will be like "holy shit you really are a noble man who cares about the cause. Here's the dragonglass, now ride my dragon back north." And then Sansa will call him a bitch in front of all the Lords and Ladies for bending the knee while Littlefinger leans against that same wall.

 

[Speevy]

The Boltons and the Freys massacred all of Robb Stark's bannermen who were still traveling with him at the Red Wedding.

The Karstarks had already gone home, so he was left with at most about 12,000 men, many of whom were loyal to the Boltons.

I feel like they just filmed Littlefinger leaning against the wall for a minute and will be using the same shots and smirks throughout the season.

 

[DarkJediKnight]

Good info, thanks.

It's just speculation since it's not in the books but one can assume that the only reason Rhaegar lasted as long as he did with Robert is due to him not wanting to lose to Robert. He stayed in that fight through sheer will.

Hopefully we will see a flashback of this.

Watching s3, why did Shae eventually betray Tyrion?

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Watching s3, why did Shae eventually betray Tyrion?

I always felt like that was totally unearned. I guess it's like she was doing whatever she had to to survive, but yeah it always felt cheap and manipulative from a writing standpoint.

[Vashetti]

Watching s3, why did Shae eventually betray Tyrion?

She refused to understand that Tyrion had to wed Sansa for political reasons and just couldn't reconcile in her stupid head that Tyrion had no feelings for Sansa whatsoever.

Tyrion broke up with her because her presence was a danger to herself and to Tyrion.

the Starks never played to win the iron throne. Maybe Sansa, but that's it. Ned didn't want the iron throne, he just wanted to do what was right. Robb didn't want the iron throne, only justice for what happened to Ned.

 

[The Artisan]

Lol That's Aegon the Conquer and his sister wives. Got to keep that dragon juice strong bro. You think they rode three fully grown dragons by asking them nicely? The Valyrians clearly had some magical connection with their dragons, and that connection is tied to their blood.

only way to keep the juice strong is by inbreeding???

edit: sorry for double post

 

[OrionX]

Watching s3, why did Shae eventually betray Tyrion?

It's like the same thing as when Arya threw stones at Nymeria to get her to run off for her own safety, except in this case Nymeria decided to come back and bite Arya in the ass for hurting her feelings.

 

[Heshinsi]

King's Landing - possible nuke area

Hmm?...

edit: sorry for double post

Well I mean how else would you keep dragon magic bloodline going from parent to child without diluting it? If their blood allowed them to ride dragons and have them be chill with them, I don't fault the Valyrians attempting to keep the magic going.
