He needs Chaucer from A Knight's Tale.
Yep. As others have pointed out, that tree isn't new, and I don't think it's the first weirwood we've seen. Didn't Bran use one right after uncle Benjan left him ... when he watched the rest of the Jon origin vision in the tower?
Yeah why watch every episode of what is the greatest TV series ever? I mean watch enough to post on message boards and talk about it but every episode what am I am f****** maniac? I mean I'm missing a third of the story but whatever. Only a nerd would watch all the episodes , my God!
I mean, I personally don't care that you didn't know that. People miss things, no big deal.
I didn't notice the song, but did notice her saying the verse.
I've probably seen 90% of the show. I know all the main storylines and I enjoy it plenty. Still, there were probably 5 characters last night who I didn't even know their name. That doesn't bother me at all. I never saw the tree. It's really weird you are taking such offense to that.
Its probably a book thing not emphasized in the shows much. The weirwood trees have appeared in different places throughout the show. The "Children" carved faces in the trees. They are sacred trees for followers of the old gods like the Starks. They have white bark and red sap, so are striking in appearance. Much more common in the north, so have been seen in many of Brans scenes over the past seasons.
Congrats? Not sure what you are looking for here? Are you going all "too cool for school" like ICON or something?
Not at all. Am I not supposed to reply to the posts? People are making a way bigger deal out of this than I am. It was a pretty innocuous comment I made that generated way more replies than it should. We can move on once hot diggity dogs gets over the supposed insult.
I'm not taking an offense I'm just saying if you've watched 90% of episodes and you have no idea what a what the tree symbolizes or is you really haven't been paying attention. Quite frankly I'm laughing more than I'm offended.
Not a spoiler, but a book thing. They were cut down in the south as they represented the old gods. One of those aspects of going from book to film that gets dropped or moved way off into the background.
I don't care. There's tons about this show I don't know and have to ask about. There's not a quiz at the end. Still enjoy it.
I could see his character making that comment though. I have missed tyrions comedy. He's been MIA on that for a bit
I am thinking that it's #1 followed by another defeat that leads to #2 and possibly #3.
Bran. Dropping the info to Sansa and seeing her head expand.
yeah sending the dragons to burn Eurons wooden ships seems like a no brainer and will happen soonI am thinking that it's #1 followed by another defeat that leads to #2 and possibly #3.
The Unsullied are stuck on the other side of Westeros. I guess we assume that she still has enough ships to get the Dothraki on the mainland, but Euron is still hovering around too. I guess the play is to unleash the dragons on his ships in Blackwater Bay so they can get ashore. Or they can just use Varys' teleporter.
And another thing... So stupid that there's an insanely short guy in the story now. So goofy. Where'd they find him?
I'm just here for the t&a and fight scenes. Don't care when they get all talkie.
Randall Tarly was riding with Jaime in last night's episode. It's possible that when he changed sides he took a significant portion of the Tyrell forces with him.
ldrolleyes:
What was wrong with the armor comment? It didn't strike me as odd.There were some additional really weak dialogue sections this week. Sansa directing people to put leather on armor was cringeworthy, as was all the whole "we need food for mah bellyz" stuff.
Sansa as a whole had a really weak acting and dialogue episode. I'm really starting to move her down into the Dormer tier of hot girls that can't really act their way through bad lines.
Maybe it was because there were so many classic lines and deliveries this episode that made her look especially weak, not sure.
Randyll Tarly is a minor lord with a small holding. He likely had a couple thousand men at best. Highgarden alone, without their bannermen was said to have 20,000 men earlier in the series. I doubt that the rest of the Reach rebelled against the Tyrells and were willing to fight against dragons since no other lord was promised the position of Warden of the South like Tarly was, but maybe the show went that way just to equalize the advantage, which is weak IMO.
Yeah can't argue to much with any of this. Just my minor observations the last 3 seasons Cersei isn't the same as season 7 Cersei. Part of that is her fight with the tyrells has made her "mature" into what she is now. Also I think the Tyrell Army wasn't all at high Garden when the lannisters shoeed up, probably on the road somewhere between High garden and King's Landing. But yeah there's probably a lot of continuity here that's not working
AHAHAHAHA.
Its impossible to keep track of everything. I just think people are poking fun at you for forgetting something that has been in the show many times in its 7 seasons. Thats all.
I don't think it is inconsistent to think most of them would join the Lannisters against the Unsullied and Dothraki. Of course the dragons are a game changer, but nobody has even seen them, so a good chance they are more concerned about getting raped by Donthraki than burned by dragons.
It's not a random tree and it's not the only tree we've seen like that. It's pretty important to the plot (that particular tree and the fact that they exist at all and why). Pretty stupid to criticize something if you're someone who knows he hasn't seen every episode and don't have the context. Never mind the fact that we just saw that tree in the season finale last year, and many times before that.
I believe last week Jaime told Randall Tarly he was the only man to defeat Robert Baratheon in battle and the Lords of the Reach would follow his lead. He;s much more than a minor lord with a small hold.
