Oh absolutely, hence the "Euron isn't how I envisioned him"

Nah, episode 9 of season 1, the ep Ned got his head chopped off. Robb already was moving to liberate Ned.
I couldn't really sense sexual tension between Dany and Jon at all. People are letting on about their desires.
By the way, Sansa has become my favorite character. I just think her character arc is immensely satisfying AND makes sense. She's become such a no-nonsense persona, and it is great. I remember I used to be annoyed with her back in season 1. Well, I am no more.

Yeah this chapter is amazing. Euron is a creepy mf'er in the books. I can't see any actor pulling off that version of the character tbh.

oh you're probably Right. robb started marching south before the beheading?
Cersei demanded that be bend the knee, and he called the banners, rebelling against the crown.
She's my favourite character too.Sansa has always been my favorite character, which has been lonely at timesshe is the most realistic one, and deconstructing all of the princess tropes without transforming her into a "warrior" kind of character is extremely refreshing, if unpopular

lmao!
damn, people think kit & emilia are that bad? they may not be the best actors on the show but they do a good job, they get the job done. they are good in their roles. it's very iconic now, like dan/rupert/emma as harry/ron/hermione.
i don't think anyone else would've been better for these roles; even if they were better actors, it's just so hard to imagine and they're both very good looking and I think they put part of themselves in their characters. it's first i've ever seen of kit & emilia. well technically the first of kit i saw was how 2 train your dragons 2, but i didn't even know it was him coz i didn't even know about him.
going by the trailers,
i think there will be a Dothraki battle this week. She will take the Dothraki and her dragons and go at Jaime & Randyl Tarly.
So, I don't think the Dothraki have abandoned her. They also probably don't speak English so they may have no idea about the Ls.
They were all alive once and pledged to Yara, and Yara agreed to stop her degenerate way of life which means the Ironborn agreed to stop their degenerate way of life. If the Ironborn continued being degenerates that would've been 100% Dany's fault, too.

did he start marching after this demand or after his dad got arrested?
edit: sorry for double post
I imagine just announcing his intentions was sufficient to earn him a death sentence.

As Jon walks away from her after their last scene together, there's a lingering shot where she turns and looks at him. That could mean a few things, but with D & D writing it could very well mean "lol she totally wants to fuck him." But at the same time I didn't get any "sexual tension" from their conversations, so who knows.

They have negative chemistry. Sperm cells die when their scenes are happening.

Sansa has always been my favorite character, which has been lonely at times
She isn't quite my favorite but it's nice to see someone not shitting on her for once. She's a terrific character in the books imo. I think she's good in the show as well relative to show-quality writing. I mean the whole point of the character is that she was raised on the typical fantasy stories of medieval chivalry and it's all bullshit - she as a character is basically what ASOIAF is as a series to fantasy literature.

it's a stupidass plothole how neither Tyrion, Jon, Davos, nor even Varys tell Dany that she does have her history wrong and that Robb Stark was the last king in the north, and, Varys or maybe Tyrion could've told Dany that Jon's father resigned as King's Hand when late king Robert wouldn't back down from killing her.
That version of the character would never make it to TV regardless, makes show Ramsay look mild, HBO would be drowning in complaints.
Or even better, they could have had a normal conversation
"I'm Jon. I control the northern houses."
"I'm Daenerys. I wish to take the throne from Queen Cersei."
"That's nice, but there are whitewalkers and an undead army marching on the wall."
"Undead? Are you serious? That sounds ridiculous."
"No, it's true. I know how it sounds. They're unstoppable and will kill everyone. If you'll send someone with me to get proof of what I've seen, I'll be happy to show you."
"That's quite all right. So will you help me fight Cersei?"
"No, I just told you. I need to stop the whitewalkers."
"Why are you here at Dragonstone then?"
"I want some dragonglass. There's a lot of it underneath this castle, and I want to mine it. It kills whitewalkers."
"Help yourself. Have a safe journey, Jon Snow."
"You too. Good luck defeating Cersei. Let me know if you change your mind about the whitewalkers."
Now you may think this conversation is simplistic or "More or less what they did." but I would argue that it makes a lot more sense than a contentious history lesson between two people who had never met, or Tyrion having this deep trust in Jon Snow after talking to him a few times.

What use is Varys if he can't even keep tabs on the Lannister army. You'd think he would've had spies in Casterly Rock and the capital.

well she was already expecting him to bend the knee; I don't think she knows Tyrion left that part out of the parchment, so she was expecting it as soon as they met but Dany hasn't asked that out many of her allies. Yara didn't kneel, I don't think Elaria or Olenna knelt either.

Danny wasn't having anything but a bent knee. She was being an idiot. All her time in Essos and she didn't learn that she EARNED the loyalty of those who followed her. She should know she will have to do the same in Westros.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
littlefinger and varys are completely useless at this point in the story. one of the most disappointing things about the show is that the two biggest schemers had the most boring end games in mind.
also illyrio has gone totally awol, lol. did he want to serve the people too?
Exactly,because they were conducting a business transaction, not fulfilling an incest prophecy.
Daenerys has no reason to talk down to Jon as though she's crushing his rebellion. He's just a person like Missandei or Daario Naharis.
Dany's faith speech was apropos of nothing. Best/worst part was her raving about how she was sold as brood mare for... because Jon wouldn't bend the knee or white walkers are ridiculous? One of those.

Incest prophecy???
I don't know why Dany had to treat Jon with so much hostility because it's not like Jon wanted the iron throne. It's clear that he doesn't care about it at all.
The Artisan

yeah it did not make sense for her to start her rant on Jon when it's not like Jon was saying she doesn't deserve to be queen (other than not bending the knee), it just seemed like Jon didn't want to bother with royalty shit.
I think she was just trying to impress him by coming off as intimidating. Doesn't really work on him, though.

I thought the first conversation between dany and Jon was awful. On repeat viewing it really just falls apart. It follows no logical structure at all.
Tyrions character has really become a whole lot of nothing which is sad to see. He's become very one dimensional since leaving KL. Suffers the most for the downturn in standard of writing.
Will never stop plugging the Ollena Jaimie conversation. That was brilliant.

If only either of them could act. Liam Cunningham better be getting a raise some time soon.

Too bad! "Relationshipping."
Doran. It sounded like Ellaria wasn't super happy. I can't remember if Stannis attacked the writers or just the fans. Maybe both? I'm sure I'm forgetting some but I don't remember actors taking shots at writers on other shows.
AKA the portion of the fanbase that ruins the show for the rest of us.
Shippers got us an eunich sex scene. Nuff said.

In short, he had read book 5 and expected to get a bigger role in Season 5, in accordance with the book, and then was disappointed over being killed off early.
Thanks!
Regarding Doran, I found the interview

Yeah he seems pretty pissed. He was definitely wasted.
Stannis actor seems pretty disdainful of the show
lol
Indira Varma didn't seem too pissed. She praised her death scene but maybe I'm not reading in between the lines enough.
This part here. She only says that one of them is amazing..
I still maintain that she should have returned the favour and devoured the cone (or used some other means of prostate stimulation)

This may be old news, but for the people in this thread who use twitter, be careful. There are people on Twitter doing searches for anyone who uses Game of Thrones terminology or names, like "Arya" "Drogon" etc and replying to them with what I guess are leaked spoilers. I got hit with one that thankfully was only a minor one I already knew. Just a head's up for people who go on Twitter to chat Game of Thrones.
I posted this in the other thread too. Wanted to give people a head's up.

If there's anything that shows the writing is the problem for most characters in the show it's comparing Varma in Rome to GOT.
