Yeah a huge missed opportunity considering Varys has had next to nothing to do this season and this could have been another reason Danny trusts and likes Jon.

Nae, I can't remember where but in some text Lyanna tells Ned that Robert was a drunk whoremonger.

If anything about Jon's reveal taught us is that Ned was all about honor. It's likely that he accompanied Robert to brothels and whatnot, but I don't think he partook in anything.
In fact, it seems to be the Stark way. Benjen took the black, and remember Jon was so humble and blushing that he couldn't have sex with a girl when describing to Sam.

Lyanna doesn't. But Robert does and Cersei does. It explains that "Making the 8" was something he likely started before being king and completes after. Do you really believe he just became a whoremonger once Lyanna died?

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Five more hours. Still unspoiled. You know that scene from It's Always Sunny where Mac and Charlie are chanting "Nopuzzlesnopuzzlesnopuzzles" during CharlieMacDennis, that's me but with "Nospoilers"
Still doesn't make what she did right.
Falling in love with a man she wasn't forced to marry?
Westworld isn't until next year.
Have you read any of the posts on this topic from me?
How she and Rhaegar went about it made it seem like a kidnapping which led to Ned's dad and brother being killed by the Mad King and then the war. Ellia Martel lost her husband who she loved and her kids were killed. Did Rhaeger even care about those kids?
Had they openly professed their love, at least it wouldn't make it seem like he took and raper her.
I'm surprised I made it this far myself.
I didn't know I needed a primer to reply to certain posts. The heart wants what it wants.
You're not at least willing to entertain the possibility that Robert Baratheon is a liar?

If you're referring to the "kidnapping", he wasn't the only one to believe that.
Initially, that's what they thought. No word from Lyanna for a long time would do that.
People think the worst, that would be doubly so in a place like Westeros
Samesies. I am proud of my anti-spoiler skills. It's definitely an art. I love that I will go into this ep knowing nothing. Nothing. Hnnng.
The only thing I've seen from the episode is a screenshot of the preview that someone posted last Sunday and a gif from the trailer that I guess they also used in the preview. I'm 100% clean otherwise.
Sounds like YouTube was the main place people got spoiled, so I was extra careful there.

Rewatching some episodes on HBO right now and I really hope Cersei is gone by the end of this season. I doubt she dies, but I don't want to have a season of humans fighting White Walkers together, and us having to watch stupid sideway glances from Cersei hinting at her eventual backstabbing.
That's me right now with Sansa, not that I want her to die, but all the stuff she's up to right now is mad worrying and it's driving me insane that she might fucked this up for Jon.

Cersei used the word betrayal twice in the same episode, in the same scene, while referring to two separate people.

Reminds me of Season 5 Stannis. I started feeling sorry - someone bend the damn knee.

Yeah, all we know if that Brandon Stark was on his way to wed Catelyn and received a message from somewhere/someone about Lyanna being abducted by Rhaegar, and he changed course for King's Landing, started raving outside the castle for Rhaegar to come fight him, Rhaegar wasn't there, and the Mad King had him arrested for plotting to kill the Crown Prince.
Doesn't make Rhaegar and Lyanna innocent, but there is also the possibility that Robert lied and really inflamed things. Even though his house was also dishonored.
So going back to a comment Cersei made two episodes ago. What the hell is she talking about when she tells IMF guy that, "I too would like them to recover somethings that belong to me." Sansa and Tyrion were my first thoughts. But the way she says it, and the notion that whatever it is belonged to her at one point and was taken, is making me scratch my head.
Edit: it just popped into my head the moment I hit reply. She's probably referring to the other kingdoms that she has control over right?

Do we know much about Brandon? He could have been a hothead. Maybe all he hears was Lyanna took off, and started raving. One of those "she never would have gone with him, so she must have been kidnapped!" kind of things.
Yeah I just realised that. How she expects a mercenary group to pull that off is bananas. Dorne, the Vale, the North, all recaptured by Lannister and Mercenary forces. Good luck with that Cersei.

He was a hothead, thought Lyanna was kidnapped and went crazy.
3ER must've been watching and thinking "That's definitely not the Bran I'm waiting for.."
Have you guys kept up with the blu ray releases? I've stopped getting them after s2 but I'm thinking about catching up and getting the rest... or I could wait til there's a big collection set when the series is done. Is it still worth getting them for the commentaries?
Vincent Alexander

I got the first 3 and really like them. In fact, I've watched the extras more than anything else on them. However, I'm now waiting for the series to conclude to get the rest. Then I'll pull out season 5 from the set, burn it, and throw it in the trash.
Don't worry. Season 8 is completely ad-libbed with CG.

Yes, it is still measured, but as a few people pointed out it's not the metric that they're interested in these days. The cumulative number, including first run, reruns, DVR, on demand, HBO Go, etc... over the week is what they tout the most ratings-wise.
Hah, thought the same thing, 'I'll have to get s5 if I want the entire series'. Oh well, we need that bad pussy archived too.

Tonight plus next week's 81 minute finale.
Six or seven for the final season.

How old was Baelish during the rebellion?
Sending word to get Brandon Stark killed and keeping hopes alive for Catelyn would be right up his alley.

I've read that its been confirmed fake by all the "real" leakers. Would be pretty sad to have it leaked a year in half before it airs.
With the announcement of Westworld S1 getting a 4K UHD release, I'm weighing whether to buy S7 of GoT on Blu-ray or wait for 4K UHD releases.
It's an inevitability.

We have 8 episodes left, total, counting tonight. Tonight, next week, and 6 next season.
Daaaaamn. I was gonna start collecting, but if this happens, I'm gonna be throwing away alot of money. I guess I should wait a bit.
I've bought all six seasons so far on Blu-ray, but 4K UHD releases will absolutely happen at some point, if Westworld is getting one.

I finally watched last weeks episode last night just in time for tonight.
I was so mad when Sam interrupted Gillys revelation just so he could have a whiny rant and storm out to pack his things.
Then again that was their intention.
