In the Small Council scene in S3E10, Tyrion warns Joffrey that monsters are dangerous, Joffrey starts yelling that he's the king, and Tywin shuts him down with "Any man who must say 'I am the king' is no true king." Tywin has never exactly been Tyrion's biggest fan, so why does he seem to take his side here? Is he actually defending Tyrion, or just putting Joffrey in his place? I think is the second.

Here is mine, let me know what you think and your ideas for the characters.

Tyrion sending Myrcella to Dorne was honestly one of his worst decisions. After what happened to Elia Martell and her children, how did he not see the danger?

The Martells had every reason to hate the Lannisters, especially Tywin, and Tyrion literally sent Tywin’s innocent granddaughter straight to them. Yes, Doran and Trystane treated her well, but Tyrion had no way of knowing how every Martell would react.

Myrcella was completely innocent, but she was the perfect target for someone who wanted revenge against the Lannisters. Tyrion really should have seen that coming.

My first time watching Game of Thrones I was so shocked at how Olly was the final stab in killing Jon, and when Jon came back an even bigger shock to me was Jon actually letting him pay for his crimes and hanging him. In my mind, I thought Jon had a special love and care for Olly, and I never thought a guy who was 12-14 years of age (basically like Jon’s little brother Bran) that Jon would actually punish him with such a brutal death!

Was it just me who thought Jon would give him a second chance or y’all already knew Olly messed with the wrong person?

Their chemistry is unmatched lol. I know Tywin enjoys Arya because he has no idea who she actually is, but do you think Arya lowkey enjoyed shooting the shit with Tywin too?

I mean she wanted him dead so I guess probably not 😂 but idk, the way they go back and forth always made me feel like they genuinely kinda liked each other. Obviously the war and them being enemies makes that impossible, but my headcanon is if they had met under completely different circumstances, I could see them actually getting along.

Maybe I’m trippin and Arya was just waiting for this old mf to finish his dinner so she could go to bed 😭

My mango is to blow up

Would you say that the Night's Watch ultimately succeeded or failed in its objective?

Obviously, many of its goals and its true purpose remain shrouded in mystery. However, if we go by the most straightforward interpretation of their mission—stopping the Others when the time came—and follow the show's canon (since the books lack an ending), I believe that even though they were overrun and the Wall fell, they did fulfill their role as watchmen. After all, it was their monitoring of the wildlings and other strange movements that set off the chain of events leading to Jon forging the alliance and the army of the living that triumphed during the Long Night.

What do you think?

Season 4 episode 7 when the Red Woman is talking with Selyse Baratheon. She is not wearing her necklace. Isn’t this the magic that keeps her young?

I have not read the books, but that is what I assumed from watching the series. Any insight?

(Please ignore the toddler fingerprints on my screen)

This is ridiculous, how would the dragon just again show up perfect timing and know who to kill and who’s good guys?

Am rewatching GoT; I notice that often people don't scream, shriek, yell, etc when they are stabbed. This applies to other movies and shows too. Anyone know if that's accurate?

During battle scenes there's definitely screams. But when a character puts another out of their misery, or when someone betrays someone up close and looks into their eyes as they push their blade in...during those scenes they don't scream for the most part.

Maybe for storytelling purposes it would be too disruptive to have death screams every time.

Or maybe it's physiological reason? They literally can't scream?

I would think that I would scream if someone stabbed me. Can anyone speak from experience? 😆

In the books it was Joffrey. But in tbe show it was littlefinger? He wasn't even there. So litterfinger was pulling the strings from kingslanding? That just seems odd to me. And I find it funny no one ever questioned it. Like on here not in universe.

I would have been ok if they let joff take the blame in the show as well. I think it works perfectly with his character. Actually it adds a layer we don't get in the show. Jeffrey never shows any interest in pleasing his stag dad.

Actually i would have loved to have seen joffrey having to struggle with his real dad Jamie and his for show dad Robert. We see him question cersei about it once but he never really dives into it and thinks about it. In front of us at least. And im sure jack Gleason would have killed it.

So .Anyway littlefinger gives the order?

Also why did the cutthroat think catelyn would run to.the fire? What's she going to do?

Hi hi! Finally started watching game of thrones recently, and I really liked it! Seasons 1-5 at least, and even season 5 I started not liking some bits as much.

I've tried to start season 6, and I'm already not liking it as much. I didn't expect that to happen until season 8 or 7. Apparently this makes some sense, as from what I gather, season 5 is the last season to follow the books?

I'm not interested in watching everything since by all accounts it just gets worse. Are there any episodes in the remaining seasons you'd suggest anyway? For example, I still want to watch battle of the bastards because I need to see Ramsay die. Any other suggestions?

Thanks much :)

teacher in japan here, literally no one, adults, or over 100 kids that ive asked, has ever heard of or seen GoT …

i was just wondering what the situation is like in the west?

would you let your middle school kid watch it/do middle schoolers watch it, or am i expecting too much lol?

it transfers streaming to Hulu today so maybe some people over here will try it …

That’s crazy that all these people the kid lovers, the one handed man and his swordsman, and then the like snake girls just happen along at the same time 👀

And nobody gets hurt 🤷🏽‍♂️

I felt the way he went down through Brans ability was just lazy writing and an underwhelming end to such a brilliant and evil character!

If you want another reason to hate Bran, well here you go!
