Good catch, I missed that (obvioiusly :) !
Thanks so much for sharing your perspective from your country's experience, very interesting!
Aren't there rumors that Tyrion himself might be a Targaryan if his mom jumped the fence. Wouldn't blame her, Tywin seemed like such a tyrant. Maybe Tyrion will end up winning the game. Dany seems to be becoming nasty and perhaps unstable and I don't think it would take much to turn her completely. Certainly the death of one of more of the dragons. Jon is a great guy but too naive to rule. Tyrion would be the best choice for king. Maybe the best will finally win for once.
I agree. She was my favorite character for a long time, but frankly....I'm starting to dislike her. She's acting really arrogant and rather nasty towards people she should be friendly towards if she wants allies. I did not like how she treated Varys in the last episode, and I don't like how she treated Jon. She seems very threatening, like she could turn on a dime. Personally I don't think I'd trust her.
I've been thinking that as Jon is biologically a Targaryan on his father's side that he may also be immune to fire just as Dany is. That's when she realized she could hatch the dragon eggs, when she had some incident that showed her that she was immune to fire (I forget now exactly what it was but it was in Kal Drogo's tent). I think a similar thing will happen with Jon that will reveal him publicly as a Targaryan. Maybe he can withstand the dragons. Or befriend them. Or maybe the Red Witch might try some fire magic on him for some reason.
Maybe I'm unfair to call Jon a chump - I think your description suits him well. He has a good heart but like Ned, he doesn't consider the effects of treachery enough.
Nobody's gonna miss the sand snakes but I think Euron would also kill characters that people like. But maybe once he's King of the Iron Isles, he'll just stay there and torment the locals.
I can understand that, but Tyrion's not the one in charge on Dragonstone now....Dany is, and Jon doesn't know her or who else is with her. I still wouldn't go personally, not on a first visit, I'd send someone else - his general. Hell, even Lady Mormont, LOL, she makes a lot of sense and is an impressive little person. But seriously, he's taking a big chance in a country that doesn't generally reward that. I have to side with Sansa on this one.
I thought so too! I think Varys has repeatedly shown that his major concern is for the well being of the country. If Tyrion trusts him then Dany should give him a chance. Just attacking him, really for no reason, out of nowhere and threatening him, especially in public....well, if it were me, I'd be rethinking my ultimate loyalties. I think people cut her a lot of slack because she's a beautiful woman, but if she were some homely b*stard like Stannis, she wouldn't go over too well.
I would think so as I don't see how Lyanna could have kept this from literally everyone. Hard to conceal a pregnancy to that extent. I would think someone other than Ned (and now Bran) knows.
Right now I think it's going to be Euron (Urine) Greyjoy, who looks to be in the Joffrey/Ramsay mold. I don't see Littlefinger as that because as much as he schemes he doesn't seem to be a hands on torture guy like the others. I think LF does what he thinks he has to but not necessarily just for pleasure. On the other hand, I do seem to recall him treating some of his prostitutes badly, but my memory isn't want it used to be esp over so many seasons.
You might be able to get a lot of that info from Wikipedia. I try to go there rather than IMDB. I almost never use IMDB now....which is what Amazon deserves for trashing the site and destroying years of valuable info and input.
I tend to agree. I can't believe Jon is actually going to go to Dragonstone personally instead of sending an emissary as Sansa so sensibly suggests (say that 3 times fast!) It could so obviously be a trap and in most situations, it would INDEED be a trap. Most kings and queens don't go directly somewhere, at least not on a first visit - they send and ambassador to check things out.
I would not be surprised. I did not like how she treated Varus (sp?) with her nasty interrogation and threats to burn him alive. Not the way to win loyalty. It was obvious that Tyrion was uneasy with her treatment of him as well. I could see her slowly turning mad the more power she gets and the more violence she's able to wreak.
Has that been implied? That he's the bastard son of Aegon? That would be a really interesting development if there was another Targaryon besides Dany and Jon Snow.
He'd make a great king too. He's got a nice quality of mercy but he's no chump like Jon Snow. I like how he picks his allies too, and he actually keeps them loyal which is quite a feat in that kingdom.
I think Urine Greyjoy (epic spelling) is too crazy to last too long. Other than killing people and laughing maniacally I don't really see him playing the Game in a sophisticated enough fashion to endure. All the real nuts seem to get bumped off pretty quick though so I think he will too. Probably Cersei will kill him for the affrontery of suggesting marriage.
I tend to think this too. She'll have to repay the Death God and I do think she's going to run into Jaquen again - which I kind of look forward to in a way as I really like Jaquen and his odd way of talking.
I seem to remember something in one of the earlier episodes where something should have burned Dany and didn't. I don't remember what it was but it was before her brother was killed. That's how she knew she was impervious to fire. I seem to recall her servant girl there witnessing it too. Perhaps someone has a more exact memory of this.
Sam is such a great character, one of the few in the series who's both smart and good. Love this guy!!! Kind of like Sam in LoTR.
