Why did Tytion seem so sad about Jon and Dany fuckn together?

I have 3 theories.

He thinks this is going to complicate things regarding the upcoming war after they kill the night king.

He plotted with Cersei and Jon Snow is part of his plan somehow.

He is jealous, i remember a scene on the last season when he said to her "Daario was not the first to love you and would not be the last" , he said these lines like implying he loves her.

 

[Dany]

He does not love her. I hope he does not. As her hand, he is concerned about Dany's decision making capacity when she's boning an ally.

 

[WrenchNinja]

This is his cover for his jealousy

 

[Angry Grimace]

I still don't get why people are so focused on the incest angle here when that's one of the least important problems with the Jon-Dany hookup. I mean, the fact that they met three episodes ago and we're already at the point at which Jon's doing Damn Fool Ned Things for her.

He does not love her. I hope he does not. As her hand, he is concerned about Dany's decision making capacity when she's boning an ally.

I don't think that was even implied. I mean, there's plot twists and there's out of nowhere shit like that. I think he's simply concerned about the ramifications of the two of the most powerful people in Westeros hooking up. Tyrion's loyalty to Dany isn't abslolute - it's largely based on the implied promises of what he'll get when she wins, which is that he would take Casterly Rock and presumably somehow let at least Jaime off the hook. Adding Jon as a more important advisor changes the equation a lot because Jon has wholly different priorities and may have wholly different views of how the Lannisters and their fortune should be dealt with after the war.

 

[Dany]

ALSO. Was the plot leaked for next season, or was it only for season 7? I didn't read any of them, but I'm curious on the accuracy of the leaks from last year.

If i was that close to Dany i would love the shit out of her LMAO.

Regarding the leaks for season 8, they are some floating around right now but the accuracy is debatable. Having said that, they where some leaks on season 7 since last year that where painfully accurate, so tread lightly

 

[mantidor]

Everything was on point. Season 8 has no leaks so far.

 

[Angry Grimace]

There's no way there are plot leaks for Season 8. They haven't even started filming yet.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

date 1: cave excursion

date 2: petting zoo

date 3: #boatsex

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

There's no way there are plot leaks for Season 8. They haven't even started filming yet.

Early scripts may exist, being shopped around to see what budget/shooting schedules they will need for what.

 

[WaffleTaco]

They probably haven't started writing yet.

The scripts were all written before season 7 aired.

 

[WaffleTaco]

I'm guessing no one proof-read them and that's how we got this Aegon mess.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

he's going to be aegon in the books too

you can take that to the bank

 

[cj_iwakura]

What was leaked about 7? Dead dragon, wall coming down?

Also, no Dorne update? Boy does it suck to be those two. We'll just see a skeleton later I guess.

 

[tmdorsey]

So Dany= Nissa Nissa is pretty much confirmed?

yes

I don't see showrunner's having the balls to have Jon kill Dany like how that prophecy plays out. They (and I) know they would get BLASTED by the general audience and media.

 

[jfkgoblue]

Everything. I am actually surprised that the only thing I got spoiled was Jon and Dany boning.

I think the only thing NOT in the leaks was Jaime leaving at the end.

 

[WrenchNinja]

No that was leaked too

 

[Cornballer]

Hey folks, no leak discussion. Thank you.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Hey folks, no leak discussion. Thank you.

My bad, figured it was fair game since it was over.

 

[Dany]

Hey folks, no leak discussion. Thank you.

 

[Gigglepoo]

I wish Jamie leaving Cercei as it snowed in King's Landing was the last shot. Really loved how it looked and it would have made sense to see the weather change after the Wall came down.

 

[Croatoan]

Great summary. But someone needs to get killed for Lightbringer (The Weapon to kill the Knights King) to exist.

At this point the candidates are

Dany (Practically anyone could be AA)
Sansa (Plot Twist Tyrion is AA)
Cersi (Jamie is AA)
Brienne (Jamie is AA)
Gilly (Sam is AA)
The Mountain (The hound is AA)

Everyone is taking that legend/prophesy too literally i think.

 

[kswiston]

I think so in the books, in the show probably not.

In the show, A Stark must always stay in Winterfell, because the Northern Lords all switch sides the moment that they leave.

 

[Moff]

I am glad Cersei didn't die, although I would have bet top dollar on it.
She is an important and cool character, and I think Headey doesn't get enough credit for her. But that happens often with intentionally unlikable characters.

 

[Cornballer]

A couple NY Times interviews:
- Gwendoline Christie on ‘Game of Thrones’ and Brienne’s Love Triangles
- Actor John Bradley From ‘Game of Thrones’ on Whether White Walkers Have Feelings, Too

 

[rashbeep]

it's kinda lame how every episode almost needs to end on a spectacle, this would have worked so much better

"Winter is Here" is a perfect ending track to the season

 

[ToyMachine228]

So Dany= Nissa Nissa is pretty much confirmed?

Why are people suddenly discussing this? Just because Jon and Dany are together?

 

[hydrophilic attack]

Everyone is taking that legend/prophesy too literally i think.

I have a pet theory which is that we will never know conclusively who AA is. At least in the books. By the end, we will realize that it could refer to multiple people, and probably also multiple people will claim it for political reasons. Sounds like a nice GRRM-style subversion of the prophecy trope

Melisandre (when asked whether Dany will be the Prince/ss that was promised): "I believe you have a part to play"

 

[jfkgoblue]

Why are people suddenly discussing this? Just because Jon and Dany are together?

I'm basing it on Mel's saying that Dany has a role to play but also basically saying that she isn't TPWP.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Nissa Nissa Isn't a show thing.

 

[moltonasty]

The actress for Ellaria confirmed that it was her last scene on the show. They're dead Jim.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

third shocking twist

 

[jfkgoblue]

Nissa Nissa Isn't a show thing.

Neither was Dany being barren.

third shocking twist

Yep, I'm guessing Dany dieing is their third "holy shit" moment.

 

[mantidor]

I'm basing it on Mel's saying that Dany has a role to play but also basically saying that she isn't TPWP.

I thought the general idea there was that profecies are unreliable, after Mel being wrong so many times she was being cautious. "Profecies are dangerous" was what she said if I'm not mistaken.

 

[jett]

Nissa Nissa Isn't a show thing.

Azor Ahai hasn't been mentioned by name either.

 

[Gigglepoo]

third shocking twist

Could be but it's pure book speculation at this point.

 

[Moff]

wait, didn't someone in this very thread say that he knew the bloke who played Howland Reed and that he would be back this season?? Where was Howland Reed? Where was my tourney at harrenhal!

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

Hmmm, THR now saying that production might run from October 2017-August 2018, which could move S8 into 2019. :/

- THR: 'Game of Thrones': Why the Wait for the Final Season Isn't a Big Deal (Anymore)

Why can't it air in the winter (northern hemisphere)? Seems appropriate now that Winter is Here. Really, it should have always been a winter show.

 

[cj_iwakura]

The actress for Ellaria confirmed that it was her last scene on the show. They're dead Jim.

That's kind of harsh, but I can't call it undeserved. Myrcella was a complete innocent.

 

[moltonasty]

That's kind of harsh, but I can't call it undeserved. Myrcella was a complete innocent.

Ellaria was acting a fool after Oberyn died. Besides taking out innocent Myrcella, she proceeds to kill Doran in honor of Oberyn. Pretty sure that's the opposite of what Oberyn would have wanted, smh.

but it seems like exactly what dorne wanted.

 

[moltonasty]

but it seems like exactly what dorne wanted.

So dumb, now Dorne is left without ANY king or queen. It would be nice if someone could at least mention what the state of Dorne is now, but I think the show writer's just gave up at this point.

 

[CitizenVectron]

but it seems like exactly what dorne wanted.

It was partly Doran's fault for not just telling her that he had a secret plot going on to get revenge (though I guess he didn't in the show...), but yeah, she shouldn't have just killed him.

 

[Imperfected]

My theory is that Cersei will go to give birth, but Tyrion will slide out lubricated in butter, do a little dance, and then run off giggling madly.

A jape befitting Lann the Clever!

That or, I don't know, he probably just won't do much for the rest of the series.

 

[WrenchNinja]

So dumb, now Dorne is left without ANY king or queen. It would be nice if someone could at least mention what the state of Dorne is now, but I think the show writer's just gave up at this point.

a huge army in the south sure would be useful, too bad no one remembers Dorne

 

[andythinkpad]

Tyrion is the inside job, he delivered Westerosi's newest strategic bomber, completed laser cannon to the Night King.

 

[Vixdean]

It is just too convoluted to work. Nobody really likes him and his control is entirely dependent on Sansa. I've got to think there is another move in there. His hold just isn't plausible and that is before the re-emergence of the other Starks.

Well, like most of the best-laid plans in both the books and on the show, it will likely be upturned by unforeseeable events.

 

[Ocarina_117]

No tourney of harenhall flash back is very disappointing.

It almost makes too much sense for it to have been done. Introduce Rhaegar, build him up as a virtuous Prince. The mad king's craziness and insults of jaimje/Tywin. Scenes with young Howland and the last generation of stark siblings. Elia Martell and young selmy.
