OT: Game of Thrones- S7 E2 Stormborn
He controls the major food source for people at the crossroads. If any form of group stopped by with a bunch of important people, he holds the key to their survival with that nutrition.
The entire world is on his plate.
It all makes sense.
I lost respect for Jon Snow. No King of the North would really wear a slicked back manbun, right? I was disappointed in that. Nobody likes manbuns, and I wonder why anyone still chooses to wear them when they are met with universal derision! Yeah, yeah, manbunners, complain all you want... (Are there Michigan alums/fans that actually wear those? I hope not...)
I did enjoy the scenery when Grey Wolf got sullied... She is HOT!!
Dakingindanorf! Dakingindanorf! Dakingindanorf!
So I don't know Euron's backstory, but they elevated him VERY quickly. He was basically an afterthought for most of the show's runtime, but now he seems to be a main dog.
That is how he is in the books too. He was banished by Balon after the Greyjoy Rebellion. During the time he was gone, he was raiding and all over Essos including Valyria. He then mysteriously shows up one day after his brother Balon "fell".
Not to be that detail guy but how did Jon Snow get the message from Sam? Sam doesn't know about the revolt at Castle Black, Snow's murder, reincarnation, or his departure to Winterfell. When he sent the raven with the dragonglass information, he would have sent it to Castle Black.
Or do you think they have Raven Forwarding?!
It is not unrealistic that Jon Snow has informed Sam of his movements at the Citadel and the show simply doesn't show this uninteresting update. He is his best friend and closest advisor afterall.
The news of the Battle of the Bastards has spread throughout the realm, and a lot of information in Westeros flows to Old Town to be archived.
That's a fine point, but it's kind of just being argumentative. There are lots of things to be disappointed with, however, this was a great inflection point, and if the story is about Ned Stark and his children's role in the passing of one age into another, her gravity towards family was probably my favorite part of the episode. Maybe, more importantly, I'm finally enjoying the Arya arc again after it was lost in Bravos for two seasons.
It doesn't make sense that she didn't know. But they're just trying to speed up the story, which I get. It's like the teleporting travel.
You assume time doesn't pass between scenes or episodes. I'm glad they are not putting montages in left and right to make this point and instead are just trusting us to not be anal about how quickly one might travel.
Direwolf Blitzer reported it from the Westeros News Network's "Situation Room" to viewers in Westeros and around the world.
We will finally see the Dothraki in open field combat. Based on the trailers it looks like it will be against the Lannister and possibly now the Tarly army.
Looks like in ep. 3 we will see the Unsullied attack Casterly Rock. This will probably prompt Jaime to march his forces to Casterly Rock to win it back. Based on the last episode it looks like Tarly is going to forsake the vows his made to House Tyrell to fight for House Lannister.
The Tarly changing sides is pretty interesting. The Tarlys are known to have a strong sizable army. If the Tyrell army marches to seige King's Landing, they will be open for a direct attack by the Tarly forces. In terms of geography I think Horn Hill the home of House Tarly is the closest to Highgarden.
