dany and john can continue the proud targaryen heritage of incest if the rumors are true

Targaryens incest[TM] is between siblings, and Dany would be Jon's aunt.

I get so bored I find myself wondering inane things. Where are the wildlings getting food? When they invade castle black and hugely outnumber the Knights watch then where are they being fed and where does the food come from? They don't have animals and can't grow anything. I know this is a fantasy show by the way.
Diana Rigg as head of the Tyrells is fucking awesome in this. Amazing performance. Grey worm is sure,y the worst performance other than that handsome chunky london accented guy who got beheaded in in dinaerys scenes the last season. Whatever happened to the guy who beheaded him btw? I forget.

I feel a bit sorry for GRRM because whatever storyline(s) he'd come up with prior, the internet has so furiously worked out All Possible Outcomes that hes kinda fucked no matter what eventuates. He's been backed into a corner by the success of the show, and I dont blame him for freezing up on completing more books tbh. Caveat: havent read the books, the language frippery frustrated me.But at this point it seems like no matter what he does (or the showrunners for that matter) someone'll go AH HA I KNEW IT.
Fucking nerds.

BTW jed OTM about Diana Rigg. She's my favourite thing in the show at this point.
Do you think by the end of this season we'll find out whether or not Ramsay is evil?

The wildlings live off fish, game and raiding. Roughage from seaweed. Same as other societies north of arable land on our planet, I'd assume.
― El Tomboto, Saturday, 21 May 2016 14:25 (seven years ago) link
I'm sure GRRM has a few hundred pages on Wildling foraging and feasting

I see articles pointing out that Littlefinger said "Come and see" to Robin, the phrase repeAted in Ramsey's letter to Jon
― Blowout Coombes (President Keyes), Saturday, 21 May 2016 19:13 (seven years ago) link
pretty sure the 'come and see' in ramsey's letter is a revelations allusion
― balls, Saturday, 21 May 2016 19:22 (seven years ago) link
"come and see", yeah, an uncommon phrase like that is unlikely to be a coincidence I guess.
― silverfish, Sunday, 22 May 2016 00:37 (seven years ago) link
that was probably sarcastic but i do think that it's uncommon! at least, i've never said it, apart from when i subtly advertise my email subscription series of ocular erotica

acc to this theory how does littlefinger know that sansa escaped ramsey and that he has rickon? inside source in winterfell?

This was the case even before the show, though.

are they foregrounding the maesters conspiracy, which has been pretty much ignored prior to this?

now i know how star wars fans felt when it was reevaled the ewoks were badasses
the whole bit where Varys couldn't help but go capital-S Skeptic on the high priestess was terrific. as was Sansa making Baelish feel like the worthless shitheel that he is.
fairy grenade was lame especially since it had barely any effect as a delaying action

― Mordy, Monday, 23 May 2016 03:30 (seven years ago) link
I'm not mad or anything. it's just nothing has any dramatic weight any more. there's nothing in particular to hope for or fear, just things happening.
oh well I guess if brienne's getting sent to the riverlands there's another thing that could happen...
(sure there was pathos in the last few minutes but that last sequence was goofy af. like, army of darkness if it didn't know it was funny.)

Also how dumb is Euron Greyjoy? Give away your best idea for what to do with the Ironborn fleet and then expect your relatives to just sit around and wait for you to murder them after you finish getting drowned! Yes, there is no way they'll steal your navy and your idea and just sail to Essos while you spit up seawater and get to wear some crown made out of driftwood.
OTOH if Yara & Theon sail for anywhere else, they completely deserve whatever's coming to them.

yeah i thought it was maybe a heinlein type thing..and i guess it was.

This show lost its emotional stakes for me a few seasons ago when it became clear its ideology was primarily nihilistic and it wasn't worth attaching to any characters. Now I'm just looking to be entertained by the plot.
― Mordy, Monday, 23 May 2016 04:01 (seven years ago) link

mordy u r smart but this is nonsense. a plot without stakes is just a series of events.
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Monday, 23 May 2016 04:10 (seven years ago) link
Nah like I don't care too much about any of the characters but I still want to see dragons and ships and zombies and shit go nuts
― Mordy, Monday, 23 May 2016 04:12 (seven years ago) link
shit went pretty nuts this night, also don't know if this is more or less nihilistic than other drama shows.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 23 May 2016 04:13 (seven years ago) link
i dont get a nihilistic vibe from the show--in fact most of the protagonists that die seem to demonstrate a Point of some sort that's still developing.
― ryan, Monday, 23 May 2016 04:17 (seven years ago) link
though frankly if things end on a nihilistic note i'd probably respect its singularity of purpose (if not enjoy it).
― ryan, Monday, 23 May 2016 04:18 (seven years ago) link
i liked the hodor reveal
― lag∞n, Monday, 23 May 2016 04:27 (seven years ago) link
Hadn't even thought through the fact that it means Bran can possibly warg into things or affect other people in the past. Maybe he was the voice speaking from the fire when Varys got fixed. Who the fuck knows.
