Why does anyone think Jon Snow gives a fuck about his vows anymore? He already had sex with that Wildling girl. The only reason he went up there was because he never thought he could amount to anything because he was a bastard. If it turns out he has a decent claim to be King of the North, I can't help but think he would jump on that in a second.
Also, the way claims work is that there is an ordered succession of who gets a claim. It's starts with first-born sons and then works its way down to the youngest son of the current king. If the son that will inherit the throne is too young, that is a weak claim. If there is no son, there are other orders that can be used but they are all weaker such as: a female inheriting the throne, a brother of the king inheriting the throne, a bastard son inheriting the throne, etc. The further down the order of succession you go, the weaker the claim. The way you challenge a weak claim is usually with an army. That's why all this shit is going down in Westeros right now and why we're so interested. It started with the Targarians being deposed.
Dany has a weak claim because she is actually the last living Targarian, but she is a woman. Everybody assumes that Joffrey is the legitimate son of Robert. But when Ned Stark presented evidence that he was an incest child, Robert's two brothers rose up against Joffrey because they thought they had a weak claim and the Starks went to war because they believed Joffrey did not have a claim at all. The reason all these wars are going down is because no one really has a legit claim on the throne so everyone sees this as an opportunity to seize power and begin their dynasty. It's not just because some rich guy has a huge army and felt like trying to start shit. That's not how it works because that person would never have the support of his subjects and he'd probably be trying to put down rebellions and assassination attempts for the rest of his life. 6/5/2013 3:50:48 PM |

I don't really care about the outcome of the red wedding...
it sucks but robb was boring and cat annoyed me...
the murder of the dire wolf was more disturbing....
but, regardless of that or anyone's opinion on the other characters, can we all just agree that granny tyrrell is the greatest thing to happen to this show 6/8/2013 2:05:50 PM |

eh that certainly applied to ned but robb and arya certainly haven't "denied themselves cool shit" by adhering to traditional honor/expectations 6/9/2013 3:19:57 PM |

robb didnt have to marry talisa -- he did it for honor, which fucked up his whole shit
he could have just banged her and then sent her back to Volantis 6/9/2013 3:41:49 PM |
Bweez All American 10849 Posts user info edit post |
what
he dishonorably broke his frey vow because he wanted to marry her
i don't think he had any interest in a quick bang and bye.

he could have but he didn't want to dishonor her, because he loved her 6/9/2013 4:16:35 PM |
Bweez All American 10849 Posts user info edit post |
err i don't know if the thought process was "i'd prefer to 'bang this chick and send her back to volantis' but i don't want to dishonor her because i love her."
Regardless, it was a rebellious act that goes against "Starks being total bitches about honor and denying themselves cool shit" in my opinion.
if he was going to be a 'total bitch about honor' he would've indeed sent her back to volantis and married a frey.

And I was tres sad at the part with Grey Wind and Robb

Replace Emilia Clarke if she is refusing to do nude scenes -- she is one of the worst if not the worst actress on the show. Use the chick from The Tudors who was originally supposed to be Dany. 6/9/2013 11:53:20 PM |

The only thing I'm still a bit unclear on is Theon's plot line.
I get that the Starks wanted him and were trading amnesty for him, and it's pretty clear that the Warden of the North has him now, but what's the deal with the torture that's been going on since well before the whole Red Wedding? 6/10/2013 12:27:43 AM |

^^ I think it's nothing more than Ramsey being a crazy sadistic asshole, and Roose not giving a shit what he does to Theon since he clearly wasn't afraid of stepping on Robb Stark's toes 6/10/2013 8:29:45 AM |

i think Ramsey just really liked Roots
Theon is his Kunta Kinte
Also....while Tywin is generally an ass, I love the way he deals with Joffrey and Cersi

How many episodes this season have featured Dany as the very last scene? Probably at least 6/10... if not more.. I wish they would have shown more of her this season. All the commercials and promos on TV play into the whole Dany with dragons thing.
Even my friends who don't watch the show say, "oh isn't that the show with the blonde girl with dragons".. They think the whole show is about her. 6/11/2013 6:44:01 AM |
jbrick83 All American 23447 Posts user info edit post |
Well they still have to follow the book, and right now her story is a little slow in the book. I think they show her at the end for the reasons that you stated...she's a ratings grabber. If they did these scenes in the middle, they risk being forgotten. Putting these scenes at the end is kind of a reminder..."Hey guys...blondie with dragons is still a threat while y'all squabble over land about to be overrun with ice zombies."
At the same time...they can't just make up shit for her to do over there. 6/11/2013 8:04:58 AM |
