Is it too much to ask for a small glimmer of peace and happiness and not just apocalyptic destruction?<br /><br />I mean, if GOT is based in part on the War of the Roses, then hell, even that eventually turned out with the rise of the Tudors and then Stuarts and general peace for England. Since when has real history been more comforting than a fantasy series?Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967821142796562697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-14882115904244271792019-05-13T15:09:35.702-06:002019-05-13T15:09:35.702-06:00As far as the scorpions go last week they ambushed...As far as the scorpions go last week they ambushed the dragons. This week Dany came in out of the clouds really fast and kept low, which is actually good air combat strategy.<br /><br />The heel turn--like when a pro wrestler turns from hero to villain--didn't make a lot of sense. The Lannister army was surrendering so it made no sense to start destroying the whole city. I suppose Dany isn't planning to rule from King's Landing.<br /><br />Of course if a Targarian can instantly go mad and Jon is half Targarian, who's to say he won't go mad too? And if he does there's no Jaime Lannister to kill him now.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-80191227020522858202019-05-13T13:54:12.282-06:002019-05-13T13:54:12.282-06:00It's Martin.

So was this all just so we'd spend a week questioning whether Dany actually had the force to take King's Landing?<br /><br />I'm upset. The writers are so desperate to make Jon legitimate by shit-writing Daenerys that she, for no damn reason at all, decided to, despite having a clean straight line to Cersei through a surrendered city, just to fuck around burning things and people.<br /><br />Everything has gone to shit in this show.<br /><br />And it really really bugs me.<br /><br />Perhaps the thing that angers me the most about what the writers did with Daenerys is turning her into a mad queen just seems so misogynistic. And not a lot of people are drawing a connection to this as I've seen posts from weirdos I associate with on Facebook who loved seeing the city burn and thought it was so "realistic."<br /><br />This is all about female hysteria, bitches be crazy, women are so emotional, there is no wrath like that from a woman's scorn, and on and on and on ad nauseum.<br /><br />It bugs me that the one must suited to rule is a white man.<br /><br />The White Walkers should have just showed up and ate everyone and be done with this series.<br />Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-82517465570731323612019-05-13T07:40:06.280-06:002019-05-13T07:40:06.280-06:00My final theory is Dany threatens Sansa and Jon fi...My final theory is Dany threatens Sansa and Jon finally decides to take the throne to protect his family. Tyrion will probably meet the same fate as the eunuch guy for freeing Jaime unless someone intervenes for him. It is a downer but I guess we should have expected it.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-32802255684319441332019-05-13T07:36:59.176-06:002019-05-13T07:36:59.176-06:00I feel the same way.
