Khal Drogo flashback confirmed

 

[Infinity9999x]

I remember when Sophie was trying that on for me... it was much easier to take off.

Reek, what did I say about trying on ladies clothing?

Always post pictures.

Khal Drogo flashback confirmed

It would be the best Dany scene in 2 years

I do as Sophie tells me to do... as long as I get my goodies.

Dany to do her best Braveheart impression to rouse the Dothraki. Haven't given a damn about her since that ending to Mhysa so I'm really hoping she bloody gets on with it quickly.

As for episode 7, I think I'll take....... two chickens.

Anyone think Dorne may storm King's Landing in episode 10? Just as we think the **** couldn't hit the fan any further between the faith, the cleganes and possibly even the Tyrell army, along comes Ellaria and her motley crew.

 

[Victarion]

I feel like they're setting up Dorne as Dany support. But there were set reports of Dianna Rigg and Conleth Hill in the same locale as where they film Dorne.

 

[Reek]

Hill and Rigg together just further supports the Dany thing.. Tyrells, Dorne, Dany... taking kings landing...

 

[Roose Bolton]

Yeah Dany is basically Young Griff at this point, though having Dorne fight for her really doesn't help her with sympathy points. They're bad people.

 

[Reek]

but **** and dragons!

 

[Roose Bolton]

Those particular **** don't belong with those particular dragons.

 

[dude stannis]

Well the Sand Snakes wouldn't execute anyone named Stark or Baratheon on sight like Dany would.

Don't forget House Tyrell too, now that we know Sam isn't going to Oldtown but we're gonna get "Lol le family drama". Tyrell's old angry man will be replaced with "ze progressive white man"

Just wait for it. Same for House Greyjoy.

 

[Victarion]

...Sam was going to drop off Gilly and then onto old town.

 

[Reek]

you're going to have to simplify it more.

 

[Reek]

from another thread..

It was nice to see Rickon and Osha again. Not much in captivity, especially with Ramsay involved. And Shaggydog, man.

It's kinda weird seeing flashbacks on this show now.

Imagine if some of the filler ******** had been replaced with some of the dreams, visions, etc from characters throughout the series.

 

[chamber-music]

Dany is trying to Bonnie Prince Charlie her way to the Iron Throne.

 

[Drz]

...Sam was going to drop off Gilly and then onto old town.

Yeah, but then they had that whole "where you go, I come with you".

Does anyone feel like all Daenerys does at this point is just repeat her titles without much effect? That's literally what her character has become.

"I am Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen. The First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals blah, blah, blah, blah"

And over and over again. Shame.

D&D decided to put her into a situation where all that amounts to is a bunch of hot air and she's a proud character. It's not like all her titles are without substance or a proven history though --she earned some of those, and will retain them all or fulfill them all later (the Westerosi titles) when she gets out of this situation. I suspect that might require Drogon to land in Vaes Dothrak.

 

[Victarion]

You think they intend to give Dany some administrative lessons via the Dothraki? There's the fan theory that in the books, Dany being with the Dothraki will see her getting the confidence to bring out her "dragon" to balance out her "motherly" approach to Slaver's Bay.

Just read it. Very enjoyable read!

I wonder is Aegon serious about facing the Tyrells in an open battle, when they seemingly could use Storm's End as their advantage instead. Also curious about Lady Mertyn, was she aggravating the hosts or was she honest about the rapes?

She already brought her dragon back when she took control of Drogo.

 

[Victarion]

We haven't seen it in action.

 

[Drz]

Really? After all that whipping and realizing that the war will cost lives that are innocent?

There's no neat and tidy ending to the situation in Slaver's Bay. Also, remember that GRRM wouldn't have been opposed to going against Hitler and Mussolini in WWII, whereas he would've been an objector in the Vietnam War. He's indicated that there are times when there's no other course except war.

In embracing the dragon, Danaerys could become a great equalizer between slave and master. That would be incidental, as it would behoove her to circle back around to the cities that're sending their forces for Meereen and take them with her Dothraki while they're vulnerable. She could easily swell her ranks with the slaves, the true believers that're drinking Benerro's kool aid, and the other Red Temples.
