Fun as it was to get (almost) the whole gang together I couldn't work out why some of those people were even there in the first place. Like what possible reason would there be to bring Missandei or Theon along?
The whole Theon storyline feels completely peripheral at this stage, I'm guessing the Iron Island ships are going to come in useful/the fleet is going to sail in and save the day at the last possible moment, but really who cares at this point.

While I can certainly see how anyone would think the Greyjoy family drama is completely superfluous at this point, I actually thought Theon's road to redemption looked like the most interesting and compelling storyline that was set up for next season. Certainly the closest plot to the old seasons before magic shit took over. NB, I also enjoy all the magic shit.
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 16:26 (six years ago) link
The old seasons were never really about redemption, though?

been thinking on that too. who's in charge of Highgarden and everything south/east (including all of Dorne)? And who's in charge of the Riverlands (including Riverrun and the Twins)?!

Jamie had a redemption arc over the first three seasons but has just yo-yo'd wildly since. I'm looking forward to him reaching Winterfell and being thanked by Bran for setting him on his immensely rewarding career path.

Too bAd the show is going more in this "rightful king" "rightful lady" direction out of landfill fantasy.
Hopefully they'll have the guts to subvert that by having Dani and Jon eventually foreswear the throne in favour of someone who'll be better at it, eg Tyrion or Varys.
That was a pretty cracking finale to a patchy season, silly in a good way, everything sorta made sense. People complaining about the season ending with the fucking wall being blown to shreds by a fucking ice dragon get over yourselves.

they'll end the show with the first ever general election, and in a shocking twist everyone will just vote for the loudest drunkest idiot in all of westeros because they've had enough of dynasty rule and they want someone who represents their impossible desires to say "fuck you" to the entire system
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:42 (six years ago) link
then the white walkers will invade again, the new drunk idiot ruler will say that all things equal, westeros should be friends with the white walkers, right, it'll turn out that the drunk idiot ruler actually owns several lucrative properties far north of the wall, and half of the voters will agree that yes, westeros should be friends with the night king, makes sense

It'd be kinda funny if they learn that they are related, but just shrug their heads. incest wasn't really such a big taboo in feudal societies. Ned Starks parents were cousins. Daenerys' parents were siblings.

Technically Anne Boleyn was beheaded because adultery against the king was seen as treason, right? You're still right though, I phrased that badly. People were executed for incest, as the film Marguerite & Julien shows. (A film I'm just about to put on right now, coincidentally) But cousins, aunts, uncles, those didn't have the same taboo that they have today.

there must be some more ancient magic/forestbaby stuff in store: revelations about the white walkers & more 3 eyed raven biz. mb beric & tormund will frodo & sam it into the newly vacated north to destroy the secret white walker power orb. I like how the show balances the nonsense fantasy by having characters who basically resent that they live in a nonsense fantasy world.
also as good as dinklage is in this his american-trying-to-sound-british accent is kind of ludicrous
― ogmor, Wednesday, 30 August 2017 20:52 (six years ago) link
FB that isn't really true. depends on when in european history you're talking. consanguinity of marriage within a certain (legally varying) degree was considered a sin. dispensation had to be given (i forget which english king(s) had to have this granted) the church pushed it out to 7, until the high middle ages when the european aristocracy began to be so interrelated that the ok degree was reduced.
the disability-producing inbreeding of the habsburgs, for ex, is a later early modern phenomenon. i don't know how the church handled that! or it's earlier and not european, if you wanna look at the ptolemies. indulgence of incest for political reasons tends to be a v narrow thing i think.

more to the pt is that it's not clear what kind of taboo incest carries in this world or what the gen pop thinks of it. sometimes it's punished heavily but without any lasting consequence, and as a narrative device the writers seem to like it. lol nothing matters!
xp well yeah. but they picked put the practice of royal incest in egypt, right?
