Official Game of Thrones show thread

Yeah, I think it means Varys is going to spread the word and try to get some sort of betrayal in motion. The interesting thing is Tyrion becomes complicit if he doesn't stop him or warn Daenerys. He has a huge decision to make.

I feel like the show is leaning into Jon having to kill Dany to save the realm. For all the episode's faults, it did finally give me the plausible belief of a mad queen. She lost Jorah and now Missandei, her two closest (only?) friends, lost another dragon, and is a mess. I can see her wanting to burn it all down. Jon never wants it, always refuses it, but inevitably has to take it to save his people. Final step may be saving them from Dany.

I agree Jon is probably the favorite to kill Dany, even if it's just her dying from giving birth to their child.

I don't think he'll do it. Maybe Jaime, maybe Tyrion, but I just can't see on doing that given how reluctant a leader he has been throughout the series. I could actually see him pronouncing sentence upon the person he did, though. I think he may reprise the horrible, painful thing he had to do to the traitors at the Wall.

Agreed. I think absolutely expect Jon to have to carry out a sentence against someone he doesn't want to. Bring back the grave tone of Ed teaching him that lesson about passing sentences and holding respect.

I could definitely see that happening.

Oathbreaking is often punishable by death, correct? Too far to consider Sansa’s broken promise about Jon’s parentage to be a broken oath vowed to the Warden of the North, Jon? Dany dying and Jon having to sentence Sansa to death seems appropriate for this story.

I don't think oathbreaking is necessarily a death sentence. But if the circumstances are a conspiracy to overthrow/kill Danaerys, that's a really interesting question. I just don't know what Jon would do.

Maybe just say "fuck it, I'm sick of all this duty shit", and head north to go into pseudo-retirement with Tormund.

BTW - glad you guys showed up in here. I think that other thread is getting out of control with the discussion of spoilers

Yeah...you could see it slowly starting to unravel in some posts.

 

[Cassity14]

Yeah. The whole reason I actually paid for HBO this year as opposed to downloading and binging at the end is because I knew I couldn't escape spoilers this time.

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

I think some people are so angry at the direction in which the show has gone that they post those theories to ridicule/mock them. But...it's still spoiling.

 

[kosis]

Man, having Jon forced to pass some sort of brutal punishment on a Stark would be a hell of a twist. I can't see it happening, but that would be something.

Finally a thread where posters do not welch on bets that they quintuple-down on

 

[Cavatt]

Tormund was bragging about Jon being murdered. I still think it is weird this hasn't come up between Dany and Jon.

I think if Beric was supposed to "fulfill a function" then Jon probably is too. Doesn't make a lot of sense for a guy that has been brought back to life to fight sitting on the throne until he is 80

Davos said the Lord of Light did his thing and skidattled. He isstill working through Jon, and it seems like everyone ignores it

Thought before the season that Dany & Arya would die, and each episode has made me more and more confident in that happening.

I thought the final scene between Tyrion & Varys was very interesting. It ended something like this:

Tyrion: "What does that mean for her [Dany] ?"

Varys: *Gives him blank stare*

Tyrion: "Please don't."

Varys: "I've spoken as plainly as I can. We each have a decision to make. Pray we both make the correct one."

End scene.

I wonder what Varys intends to do, but it doesn't sound good for Dany based on that exchange. Could be as simple as spreading the truth about Jon's lineage, I suppose. My first thought was much darker, though. Like...poisoning her or something.

This was my exact line of thinking too.
