OFFICIAL Game of Holmes Season 8 Thread - A Dream of Flat Tops 4/14/19

[The Fukin Prophecy]

I'm pretty sure Arya slashed that dudes throat last season. Or do you mean his death wasn't real?

Spoiler: MAJOR POTENTIAL SPOILER

Littlefinger father is from Braavos...

Go back and watch his reaction to every time the faceless men were mention last season...He clearly knows a lot about them...



Take note of the woman at the stable, what he hands her and what she says to him...

He hands her a coin...

She says: It's time, your time is up...

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Dany already said why she didn't take prisoners. She is a new conquering force in Westeros. Everyone that doesn't want to bend the knee will run to the option of being a prisoner. The Starks and Lannisters took prisoners of war as bargaining pieces to get back important members of their respective houses. Just like Dany didn't just fly to Kings Landing with her dragons and wreck shyt because she didn't want to rule over a kingdom of ashes, she doesn't want to rule over a kingdom of prisoners either. There is no position of bargaining when the Lord of a house and his heir both refuse to bend the knee. The Tarly's were set to become the new seat of the Warden of the South. Who is Dany going to bargain his life with? Cersei? You think she gives a fukk if Randyll Tarly lives or dies? You think she's willing to trade anything of equal value to a Warden of Westeros?

I get nikkas chose their houses to rock with and whatever, but the stretches y'all nikkas make to paint Dany as this cold-hearted, insane, dictator are pretty funny

Nah, it's y'all stretching to defend Dany's obviously fukked up action and paint it as completely justified. It was clearly an overstep by her, and even her counsel was grappling with it and how to make sure she doesn't completely go off the rails....

Its a good theory, I just dont see the point of introducing him back into the story at this point. What purpose would he serve?

I just hope the little Mormont girl dies

Except she's never gone anywhere near the rails. The two nikkas you posted are basically squeamish about the method of execution Dany used. Squemish nikkas don't belong around war scenarios. The Mad King burned ally and enemy alike. He had a contingency in place to burn down all of King's Landing. Trying to make a correlation between that and someone giving their enemy a choice is dumb as hell. They've both witnessed and benefited from the power of the dragons. They know exactly what those dragons are capable of. Y'all loved to throw around the "bad writing" term the last couple of seasons, but the reactions they've had to the dragons is legit bad writing. Beyond that, both of those nikkas could easily have been killed by Dany if she felt like it. She correctly called Varys out on his set hopping, conniving ways yet told him to be honest with her if she was doing a bad job going forward. Her appreciation for Tyrion's counsel is why she didn't kill him when she met dude despite for all she knows he's nothing but a traitor to his family that killed his King and his father. We're gonna act like Varys and Tyrion are angels now? What Tyrion did to Shae and his father was done entirely out of emotion. Varys is second to Littelfinger as far as nikkas with ulterior motives who are not to be trusted. I'm sorry if their newfound aversion to using dragons makes zero sense

Sansa/Arya beefing last season is dumber writing than Arya defending her sister last episode. The Starks are not supposed to be beefing, they’re the closest family unit in the show.

I don't buy it. Like at @Brozay says it's too late in the game to introduce a big ass twist like that.

They’ve always beefed.

You have an example of one such instance to show us real quick?

 

[intruder]

Her shyt in Braavos dragged badly, worst part of that season, borderline unwatchable...

She needed to go through that to learn the ways of the faceless men.

THink about it she had to draw Waif into a dark alley to kill Waif. It shows you that she's a skilled fighter when she doesnt have to depend on her sight and her opponent does. Those months as a blind person helped her learn. Jaqen knew this and was training her for it when he would have Waif beat her while she was bling. Waif just didnt get it but little did she know she was helping Arya develop a skill.

It was more than the method of execution, at least for Tyrion (Varys has a troubled past with magic); Tyrion was advising against execution when he thought she was going to have dothraki bloodrider behead them. Let's not play dumb here.

She's clearly close to the edge of the rails and faltered here. I suspect in the coming weeks she'll be even further when she has to deal with the fact that Jon is the rightful heir. At least that's what they're hinting.

He didn't want to erase an old, noble house. His father did the same shyt a long time ago and it became the song of House Lannister. The Tyrell and Martell houses both just got erased by the enemy. Randyll Tarly chose death over bending the knee. He tried to talk his son out of following him but the kid refused to listen. That's on them.

It doesn't take a genius to know that someone, whose entire character arc has revolved around her quest to attain what she feels is her rightful place on the throne, is going to have an issue if someone who has already bent the knee to her suddenly makes a claim to that aforementioned throne. You expect her to just be like "Well, if you say so, my king"? If fighting for the throne means someone fell off the rails, then damn near every character of note has fallen off the rails

LMAO @ how you try to spin the facts. Tyrion was urging her not to kill Randal before his son came forward. First you try to say he was just squeamish about how she killed them, then you try to claim he just didn't want to see the whole house wiped out. Both are lies
