Khal Drogo was apparently unbeatable. With better cleaning habits he's marching on King's Landing right now.

Grey Worm has had a few scenes now where he's grossly outnumbered and won.

What about Jaqen / faceless man guy?

Agree on Khal Drogo. I don't think Jaqen should be considered at all...he's an assassin and we have no idea at this point how good he is in actual combat.

Everyone talks about how badass Jaimie was before he lost his hand. Seriously, compare these two fights:

Khal Drogo vs Mago

vs

Jaimie vs Ned

Nothing is impressive about that fight, considering Ned is always painted as a "good but not great" fighter and Jaimie wasn't really winning before his buddy stepped in. Every other time we're told how great Jaimie is it's from talk.

Other then Khal, Oberyn is really the other impressive fighter when we get to see him fight. Except maybe Arya's trainer that beat all those kingsguards with a stick.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

I posed the question in the varsity thread asking who everyone thought the best fighters in the GoT world of were. Apparently it was too nerdy a question, even for that crowd.

I think it's a question that's been discussed before. I know there are other places on the internet where they'd be happy to indulge you in that conversation (or it's already been had) ad nauseam.

And the answer, as always, is "Hot Pie"

ETA, Hippling reveals Evilgrin beat me to it.

I don't think Jamie's trying to win that fight.

Also, the dude Jaimee kills with the dagger in the eye is Jory Cassel, the head of Ned's household guard and nephew of Master of Arms Roderick Cassel. He is a pretty decent fighter in his own right - having just killed a couple Lannister men - but Jaime kills him without even trying.

Why wasn't Jamie in prison with his buddy and the fighter chicks? Seemed like they put him up in a suite.

Also, how did Rapesy get the old lady when they showed Brienne was the one watching for the candle?

Jamie is royalty, to be used for political gamesmanship. Bronn is a sell-sword to be shown exquisite boobs and given songs to sing.

He did roshambo a dude to death once. I sort of doubt Barristan Selmy or Jamie Lannister can claim that.

The old lady is in the castle, and Reek probably ratted her out as a friend of the Starks.

Don't get the whole spy thing with Jamie anyway. Like you said he is royalty. He could have rode thru the front gate. They aren't at war.

The Lannisters had basically just killed Oberyn. They were expecting the Dornians to possibly be hostile towards Jaime.

[PatsWillWin]

I guess it depends on how you want to define it. I don't think Drogo would stand much of a chance against a night decked out in full armor.

I think he would, much like Bronn vs a Knight of the Vale. Armor, while giving great protection, slows you down considerably.

But Bronn knows how to fight dues in armor. Drogo's never done it, not a once. I think his arakh weapon thing would leave some shiny scratches on the Mountain's armor, but much more.

Look at that fight of Mormont vs. one of Drogo's blood riders. The dothraki gets his arakh thing into Mormont's mid-section, which his entire life has been a kill. He hesitates thinking he'd won, but it didn't do ####. Mormont opens his face for him.

Drogo's good and should be on the list, but no idea how his game would transition to the West.

Big difference between "wtf, where did the princess go?" and "Uh, Jamie Lannister just took the princess."

So now it's Wtf Jamie you attacked the prince and btw you're caught and she doesn't want to go anyway. Much better plan then let's scoop out the lay of the land.

Well they probably didn't plan on arriving at the same moment that Oberyn's ******* daughters launched an attack to kill Myrcella in vengeance. And who can blame them, it was an absurdly written plot.

 

[Hawks64]

Better episode overall, a few thoughts...

- just get it right out the way, my sand snake moved. She's up there with Missandei, Dany, and Robb's wife who I always liked.

- Religious fanatic storyline is weak - one of the weakest the show has told and I hope it's self-contained in this season.

- it's been 2 years since I've found anything Dany has done interesting, hoping that's about to pick up.

- Jon Snow has become the best character and story on the show, I didn't think I'd ever see that.

- How long are Brienne and Podrick going to hang out? It's obviously been a while since they've gotten to wherever they are. Move on in. Also that woman getting flayed was brutal. Sansa has bad luck with men, being setup with the two biggest psychopaths in the world.

I agree with this 100%. I remember when her story was the most exciting of the show, and now it's literally meh.

Agree 100000%

Ned was a very good fighter in his own right.

So guess who I sat next to on a flight yesterday?

I had my copy of A Clash of Kings out, that I am rereading, and he initiated the conversation with "do you think I'm overdoing it with the sex and rape?".

I tried asking him some questions about theories, but he was having none of it. Although he did give me a pretty good hint about:

Spoiler

Jon Snow's mother, and Tyrion's father.

Some actual things he said during the flight:

"I haven't eaten for hours. I could really go for a trencher right now."

"I'd give a hundred dragon eggs for a chance to spill my seed on that stewardess's backside".
