I quite like seeing the recap (on Thronecast) of Melisandre meeting Arya and correctly predicting her future. I never would have remembered that.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 16 June 2015 18:50 (nine years ago) link
Correctly but in very vague terms.
it makes sense if they're more like functionaries or mandarins. for a show about power there's v little sense of the political landscape. there's feudalism with no real sense of class, kings with no talk of divine right/mandate of heaven (stannis's awareness of his destiny feels v personal). idk who is supposed to be actually at work enacting their small council biz & running a credit-based economy but w/e. varys is obv the best but it just feels like grrm was feeling the idea of some eunuch official archetype but rather than being a member of whole caste he just makes him a guy with a crazy back story he could write later

Good thing that the mutineers stabbed Jon in the gut and not his beautiful face.

I thought danaerys was very rude to her dragon, too. He'd been stabbed with loads of spears, rescued her, and she says 'you could at leat find some food' or something. Also, if I was trying to find out where she went it might be worth releasing the other two and following them - I imagine dragons leave a great destruction/word of mouth trail.

I'm assuming they'll delve a bit more into what Maesters actually do next season when Sam becomes one?
Feels like one of the really obvious logical endpoints for the story is to have Arya kill Cersei. In fact I'll be really annoyed if that doesn't happen.

X-post. That post is going to show up for years when people death for imagine dragons. Well, until people stop likin them. So be on your best behaviour for our future indie-rock fans.
― Rouge Trooper (dowd), Wednesday, 17 June 2015 12:19 (nine years ago) link
Or not. On one of the Grantland podcasts they point out how Sam's quest will likely be less Harvard and the Sorbonne and more University of Phoenix and study abroad, since there's not enough story/book/show left to allow him to go off and become a full-on Maester. They suggest he's just doing an independent study with a focus on killing White Walkers.

death for imagine dragons
Agreed

aren't there supposed to be white walkers high-footing it to the wall any moment? they're sure taking their sweet time about it. how will Samwise Gamgee ever become a maestro in that time?

The last Spring break in westeros lasted about 11 years, it was a time of almost unbearable suffering and privation

how many likable people are left in westeros? it's basically Davos and Sam and Sansa and Brienne and Podrick imo.

I was going to say Jon Snow, but then I remembered that I don't like him.

he is also not so much in westeros anymore

I guess brits in Spain is similar, but I don't think that's really reserved for such a specific time of year and I think just as many working class people do that.

I think the way she tries to raise up the underclass at the direct expense of the ruling class comes close to the radically anti-capitalist strains of progressivism.
I forgot about her white savior complex, though.
