    Daenerys getting very boring - ending felt very tacked on and yet another "inspirational" event from her

    I think grrm has even said himself he regrets introducing Dany at the beginning because her story won't become important to the rest of the world until the last part of the story.
    It means we've got to see the Dothraki though who are brilliant !
    One thing I'm looking forward to is seeing how westeros reacts to the dothraki hordes. I doubt they'd go back across the narrow sea after Dany has finished conquering. What then? They'll rape and pillage their way around the seven kingdoms.
    You need to slow down a bit, they have to build a thousand ships first, it only needs an attack of Dutch Elm desease and they will have to be shuttled across on the backs of the dragons.
    Aren't the boys in the Iron Islands already cracking on with the shipbuilding ?

    She could do it with 3 Boats, each towed by a speeding dragon. You've got to think she can move her army in a couple of months like that. It would be a great workout for the dragons and it has the added bonus of minimising her carbon footprint.

    No way can Drogon be trusted with that responsibility, absolute liability that one.

    As an aside, who the hell would be next in line now if Tommen died?!

    A possible answer to my own question:

    mashable.com/2016/05/03/game-thrones-heir/#xPkEwg8xQuqP
    if this family tree is correct then presumably Jaime has just become heir as he's been relieved of his duties as commander of the kingsguard
    Was going to post the same thing.

    Given the prophecy about their kids it could be important soon.

    Think he'd be a decent enough king if it wasn't for Cersei!

    Jaime has kind of been seen as a 'good guy' in recent seasons but he's still responsible for some pretty nasty shit, including pushing a small boy off a tall building and killing his own cousin to help get himself out of a cell.

    People talk about Bran being a little sh*t for being responsible for a few deaths yet had Jaime not thrown him off the tower then again he wouldnt have to rely on others getting him out of the messes he finds himself in!!

    But there is already somebody building her boats on the Iron islands.

    Yeah I didn't say he was a lovely guy, just that he'd make an alright king - better than the psychopath and the wimpy one the last two have been.

    Tywin was an arsehole but he'd have been awesome as a king, for example.
  • Terribly slow and boring episode.

    Can't stand Daenerys, can't believe people actually enjoyed the close of that. Hoping at some point her 'MY DRAGONS' decide to eat her.

    Looking forward to Arya sorting out bowl cut, looking forward to Snow Vs Bolton and the mountain fight which they are setting up very obviously who with.

    Think Arya blowing out the fire would have been a better end to that episode.

    Who will the mountain be fighting?

    Honestly at this point I would wager the newly converted Tommen puts himself forward as the champion of the Gods. It'd fit in with Cersei's narrative of her own actions causing her children's demise.

    There was an article a few weeks back that came to the conclusion it's Cersei.

    Interesting - has a woman ever sat on the Iron Throne ? I would have thought it would be Jamie.
  • Surely there must be some Baratheon cousin that would inherit before any Lannister?

    He was a member of the kingsguard when the article was published so couldn't have taken it.

    Nope.

    It basically went back up the Baratheon line and then down to the closest descendents who were the Lannisters.

    Cleganebowl, as it's known in some reaches of the interwebs, doesn't seem likely in the show as there hasn't been any kind of set up for the Hound coming back, sadly. It might be a resurrection too far.

    I think in one of the episodes Arya is asked about the hound and she says she doesn't know, then the very next scene the Lannisters mention the champion fight, my mate pointed it out to me that it was a bit of a set up.
  • 13 episodes left after this series by all accounts, not the 20 (or more) I was hoping for!

    They'll extend the contracts for the last 7 episodes or the final season will be 3 feature length episodes.

    I'd take either.

    Not on screen, but you don't know that for a fact either way. I hope he did survive, I just don't think they've done much to set it up. It becomes a bit deus ex if he randomly walks into a scene, especially in the context of a show that asked the audience to stretch suspension of disbelief a lot this season - Jon's revival was set up three seasons earlier. Arya saying "I don't know" and cutting to another conversation is nothing like the Beric set up. If we'd heard about someone skulking around like in Feast For Crows then I'd buy it. But the show hadn't gone there. Not yet at least. EDIT: In fact, wasn't it you, Kent, who once said "Stannis is (for the moment) still alive" after he died? Do you think he's dead now?
