The problem isn't that a Targaryen is doing that, the problem is that a Targaryen is doing this and it feels like the series is still trying to set up Dany as some sort of likeable, charismatic and competent leader. I fear that the writers think by making Dany a lunatic that literally burns her enemies on a whim, that we respect that character for being strong-willed, capable and independent.

As for the Tarly BBQ, these are the same actions Aegon the Conqueror pulled on the Reach Lords when they refused to bend the knee and fought him, only on a much wider scale. Dany’s taking a page from the Aegon playbook. It’s still seen as something divisive amongst the characters. If it upset Sam you know what she did was not the best decision. Is it Targaryen madness or a necessary show of power? We’ll have to wait and see.

For the record, not all Targaryens pull the full Aerys II and go crazy. Maester Aemon was one of the most sane people on the show. Targaryens are crazy, but we don’t know if Dany will exhibit the more risky but educated crazy like Aegon I who decided let’s conquer Westeros and ended up uniting a kingdom, of the destructive Aerys crazy, or the one Targaryen who drank wildfire because he thought it would turn him into a dragon.

Alright, one final thought before tonight's episode.

I don't think Cersei ordered Qyburn to hire Bronn to kill Jaime and Tyrion. I'm still trying to piece together the why of it, but my feeling is that its either:

1) A power play to alienate Cersei from her support system and become her only advisor. If it succeeds, the brothers are dead. If it fails, the brothers will think that Cersei tried to have them killed. In either case, they will no longer be amenable to establishing peace with Cersei.

2) I've seen speculation that Qyburn is loyal to the Starks because they saved him at Harrenhall. I've seen other people suggest that he's a Dornish spy. I'm going to go full on conspiratard and say he's loyal to the Night King. I think the assassination attempt was meant to sew discord between Cersei and her brothers so that the army doesn't consolidate in King's Landing after Winterfall falls. When the white walkers finally arrive at King's Landing, Qyburn will open the gates and welcome them with open arms.

A funny theory I've read is that Cersei is sending Bronn to Winterfell because he'll infect the locals with his pox that he caught from the whore.

Are there many bookfags here? I've been getting into the analysis community a fair bit and there is a potential lolcow who was a treasure trove of content on YouTube and has left a bit of a trial online. The ASOIAF community is quite autistic and dramatic, I love reading about the perpetually buttblasted show haters almost as much as watching the show on TV!

It's leaked but apparently the person in possession of it says "his internet is too slow".


Edit: There are a bunch of other pictures that have leaked. Don't go looking for them if you don't want spoilers.

I'm a bookfag and the asoiaf book discussion community is what happens when we're closing in on a decade without another book. Lolcows aplenty. I do generally dislike the show at this point and my enjoyment of it is mostly to see how dumb things will get going forward. The /r/asoiaf threads about the new episodes and the endless rage over how stupid everything's become are almost more entertaining than the show itself.

Yeah, I enjoy theorycrafting and shittalking, too. Haven't bothered with any asoiaf communities (besides popping into freefolk now and then), but I'm told the community on the "official" fansite is insufferable.

Ah ok....here is the freefolk summery
I am watching now. I'll edit as I go.

I can't upload anything, sorry gals and guys.

Dany talks to Jaime. Jaime's trailer "I promised to fight for the living" is in this.

Tyrion speaks for Jaime.

Sansa does not trust Jaime

Bran says "The things we do for love"

Brienne speaks for Jaime. Speaks to Sansa about Jaime telling Brienne to fulfill her oath.

Sansa says Jaime should stay because Brienne trusts him.

Tension between Jon and Daenerys. They share a tense look. Jon had the last word on Jaime's fate. Jon leaves the Great Hall without speaking to her.

Dany does not look happy - likely because Tyrion messed up again.

Dany is mad at Tyrion because Cersei betrayed them. Says she'll find another hand if she can not trust Tyrion

Gendry and Arya talk about the WW. Gendry is freaked out about the WW. Arya's "I know death" is in this scene.

Bran and Jaime talk about Jaime pushing him out of the window. Bran isn't angry. Says he helped Jaime by not telling the others about the window because he needs to help them.

Tyrion and Jaime talk. Tyrion says he has made mistakes. Jaime says Cersei is pregnant for real.

Jaime and Brienne share a look and then have a conversation. Brienne is training soldiers and will command the left flank. Jaime says she's come a long way.

Jaime says he will be honored to serve under Brienne's command.

Jorah tells Daenerys that she broke his heart when she named Tyrion hand but that she made the right choice. Dany says Tyrion made serious mistakes but Jorah thinks she should forgive Tyrion.

Conversation between Sansa and Daenerys: Dany says she thought Sansa and her were on the verge of agreement about Jaime before Brienne changed Sansa's mind. Some talk about Cersei and family.

Sansa says they have Jon in common but that men tend to do stupid things for love. Dany says she always wanted the throne but now she is fighting Jon's war. She is here because she loves him. Sansa says she should have thanked Dany right away. They joke about Drogo (he is taller than Jon). Dany says after the war she will take the Iron Throne Sansa wants to know what will happen to the North then.

My boy Theon shows up - hugging it up with Sansa.

Davos gives pep talks. Gilly as well.

Edd and crew show up and meet Jon. Someone asks about Brienne.

War Council time: NK wants an endless night according to Bran. NK knows where Bran is because his mark is on Bran. Bran wants to lure the NK away from Winterfell and wait for him in the Godswood.

Some talk about who will do what during the battle.

Bran and Tyrion have a conversation but the scene is cut off. Missandei gets ignored by Northern children.

Missandei and Grey Worm talk about leaving after the war.

GHOST

Jon and Sam talk about his parentage and when Jon will tell Dany.

Jon tells Sam he can go with Gilly to the crypts if he wants to but Sam tells Edd and Jon that he has killed a White Walker and Thenns. A really nice moment with the Night's Watch brothers.

Jaime and Tyrion talk and drink wine. Brienne walks in. Pod wants to drink but Brienne only allows him half a cup. Davos shows up as well. In fact, a lot of people show up. Thormund talks about killing a giant with Jaime.

Arya and Sandor talk on the battlements. Arya says she has changed and asks Clegane what he is doing here since he has never fought for anyone but himself. Clegane tells her he fought for her once.

Arya goes to Gendry. They kiss. Clothes are off. There you all go.

More from the merry wine drinkers: Tyrion muses it is strange they are all there. Brienne says they'll die with honor. They joke about surviving after all.
Brienne explains to Thormund that women can't be knights. Thormund says if he were a king he would knight her. Jaime says any knight can make a knight and he knights her.

Jorah tells Lyanna to go to the crypts but she is not here for this. Sam stumbles upon them and gives Heartsbane to Jorah. Says that the old bear taught him to be a man and to do what is right. Giving the sword to Jorah is right.

Back to knights and wine: They sing. JENNY'S SONG omg sorry but book nerdgasm

Trailer scene while singing goes on: Grey Worm and Missandei kiss.

Jon is in the crypts in front of his mother's statue. Daenerys joins him and they talk about Rhaegar and how Dany thought he was a kind man but he raped Lyanna. Jon tells her it is not true. He is their son. Daenerys is shocked.

She does not believe it. Jon says it is true. Daenerys says if this is true he is the last male heir to House Targaryen.

Horns! The WW are there. No Night King.

JENNYS SONG as ending credits. I can die happy now.

Meeting in the writers room that day:
"So... we ran out of ideas, are there any women that we haven't yet shown naked or something really shoking and disgusting we can show?"

So...how long till we see Theon's stink-ditch?

Also I love this new revelation about the white walkers' true motives. It turns out the reason they want to exterminate all life and turn the world into an eternal winter is.....they want to exterminate all life and turn the world into an eternal winter.

Such deep and complex and nuanced writing almost reaches the lofty heights of a Channel Awesome crossover movie in its sublimity.

I saw it, it's a million times better than the premier, great writing and character work.

Does the second episode set this up in any way as a dramatic reveal? Cause that was their obvious goal from the get go and is pretty much all that is necessary as their motivation. They serve as a purely evil threat without any kind of nuance or motives. The mystery never was about their goals, it was (if anything) about their origins (and even that wasn't that necessary, since the story could have simply went with "They just exist and hate life" like any mythological BBEG). By giving us the origin story that we got, they are already putting in extra effort as far as I'm concerned.
