Jamie is presumably still in the Kingsguard so he has vowed never to marry.
Considering his sister just burned hundreds of people to death and is now the monarch, I think she can easily release him from those vows, if she really wanted a Lannister 1000 year reich

Apologies if this has been covered here already but is there an explanation for why this (apparently) strategically critical dragon castle is just sitting there vacant all these years?

dammit xpost
xp - It became Stannis' property after he successfully defended it during Robert's Rebellion. Then Stannis converted to the lord of light and executed non-believers, eliminating a lot of Dragonstone's residents. Then Stannis went north with assumedly everyone who was left on Dragonstone. Most of them died. The rest are with Jon.
Though it is a bit odd that he didn't leave behind a custodian or two to take care of things while he was away.

Thank you all. Re-suspending disbelief. Does seem lazy of Lannisters though. How long ago was all this supposed to have occurred? It's a big, titty blur from here...

― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Monday, 17 July 2017 22:51 (six years ago) link
It's not supposed to be that long ago. But yeah, in the books the Lannisters lay siege to Dragonstone pretty soon after Stannis leaves.
― Frederik B, Monday, 17 July 2017 22:54 (six years ago) link
still, a bit odd that anyone could just waltz on in and see the big board.

That's gotta be Tom Turgoose's worst performance in a thing to date. Probably should've quit while he was ahead like yer Joffrey lad. Pete Postlethwaite's son also among Ed's feebros.
Excitement at finally recognising Jim Broadbent made up for the excessive turd montage.

It's one of those things that's definitely going to take at least four chapters to explain in the books.

God that Sheeran/soldiers bit was terribly clunky, why did they keep laughing after everything they said?
I know you're talking about the acting, I think, but if this was in the script, it's spot on.
Soldiers who haven't been in combat yet laugh at everything because they're all anxious as hell.
After the baptism of fire, the ones still in one piece barely laugh at anything. It's a sign that these rookies, despite the plate mail, are about as far from Arya as you can get in terms of experiences (and privilege)
― El Tomboto, Monday, 17 July 2017 23:15 (six years ago) link
But they're nice to her because they haven't abandoned manners yet and she's younger than them and she is a woman. They're all fucking doomed.

So they were basically meant to be innocents. It didnt come across clearly, I guess is my gripe. I just assumed they were all rubbish actors/had bad material to work with. It was the only part that really clanged.
On an aside, had not made the connection before now that Beric Dondarrion is Sherrif Dan from Fortitude.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 18 July 2017 00:13 (six years ago) link
...and on another aside, I feel like Dondarrion's constant Jesus-ing is going to be important to the story now, somehow.
He was wielding a flaming sword in the trailer, for the book people it hardly gets more signifying iirc

Always good to see Broadbent but I loved that montage.
Totally forgot about the possibility of Sansa having Ramsay's child.
Euron's gift will be Tyrion?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 01:12 (six years ago) link
I did wonder about what/who Euron would kidnap and hand over (assuming thats what he meant). Tyrion makes sense. I'd thought Arya too, tho I dont suppose anyone knows where she is now.

Maybe Euron is gonna get that dragon binding horn from the books
― text text text text (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 18 July 2017 02:01 (six years ago) link
I did think that. Maybe there'll be a Scanners style battle between wargs and whoever is blowing the horn.
Must have been squatters at Dany's place.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 02:19 (six years ago) link
oh isn't the wallbusting horn a thing in the show? i read the books recently and couldn't tell what'd been skipped, aside from obv stuff like zombieCat
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 18 July 2017 02:27 (six years ago) link
yes, the wallbusting horn has shown up in the show
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Tuesday, 18 July 2017 02:36 (six years ago) link
there are like 3 magic horns in the book tho, euron has one, sam has one, maybe frodo has one idk

Beric Dondarrion is Sherrif Dan from Fortitude.
And that his sidekick, Thoros, is Dennis Pennis.

It was definitely a bit "clangy" -- it makes more sense in the context of the books (though yes we are past the books) where there are hundreds of pages devoted to the pointless skirmishes and devastation of the riverlands and the big swathes of land between Kings Landing and the North. I just wonder if this handful of infantry cannonfodder reappear or if they're doing an Ian McShane again
― sarahell, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 08:27 (six years ago) link
Is that bunch going to stick around if that Shane Meadows troupe actor Thomas Turgoose is somebody recognisable.I couldn't think who it was for a while and thought we maybe had met him elsewhere in the show.Not sure how recognisable he is really so can't exclude it being a cameo. But is it likely to be more of a part?
― Stevolende, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 10:27 (six years ago) link
Disliked Sheeran's appearance because it was very "hey look who it is!" and I don't think that happened with the other guest musicians. Though I wouldn't have recognised the Coldplay guy anyway.
