The 3 eyed raven is a library containing the past present and future. When Bran became the new 3ER he gained custody of the library and added the book of his life and personality to it. So he's the 3ER and also Bran and every other 3ER who's added their experiences to the library of the 3ER.

Yeah, I'm not sure where the Jaime/Bronn stuff is going. Not sure how it doesn't end in their capture or death. Maybe that Tarly kid that randomly got screentime will have gotten burnt and they'll think his corpse is Jamie's, or something. Dany didn't necessarily see that Jamie survived the fire breath, so it's possible.

Probably the greatest thing, among many other accurate and awesome things from this post, is the singularly excelent choice of the world "frolick".

That's true, he could be the GoT's version of The Avatar but I'm going with time bullshit because they've already introduced it as a concept.

If Jaime getting captured leads to a rift between Dany and Tyrion, I will start a one man riot in the streets.

Tyrion lets Jaime out of his cell, but instead of getting on the boat he got him, he sneaks back into the castle and kills Dany while she's taking a shit.
 
You know what I love about the Young Wolf, Robb Stark? He executed a lord whose armies he needed because "rules are rules". Yet he himself broke an oath and was frolicking about like there wouldn't be any consequences. Not only that, he thought crawling back to the man he broke faith with, while bringing the woman his oaths were broken for along, was a brilliant plan. Dude signed his death the minute he executed Lord Karstark instead of keeping him hostage like every person with a functioning brain was telling him. Wouldn't have had to go begging to Walder Frey.

You have to look at it from Grey's perspective: Robb is an oathbreaker. And not only that, by refusing to marry a Frey he sends a direct message that Starks and Grey's cannot be allies.

And WTF was he thinking bringing his wife to Frey!

Robb saw Frey as someone beneath him and paid for it.

Her eyebrows are incredible. I think her acting is so wooden because she shows emotions through her eyebrows and DND probably think they're too distracting for mainstream audiences.

Yes, Robb was a hypocrite. But can you blame him? The scenes between him and Talisa remain the hottest thing shown on GoT. Those two had chemistry visible all the way to King's Landing.

This video was made at the end of last season and the title of the video may not be accurate anymore based on what we've learned in the show, but it's still a really awesome compilation:

Seeing Jon Snow's path from the beginning of the series to where we are now is a pretty amazing display of character growth!

So Bran is the New Giver?

Yeah. Robb was a moron. I called his ass dying to Frey the moment he broak his promise to him. Red Wedding was the least surprising thing in the show. For a smart guy, Robb was kind of dumb.
 
Bronn Vs The Hound

Who would win? Thoughts instantly say The Hound but Bronn seemed sure of himself when they were gonna potentially square off in the pub back in season 2

Bronn has one play, his dagger throw. If you remember he was reaching for it.

He did the same to the Dothraki rider and he basically bounced his dagger with the Aarakh.

Bronn should be scared of Hound's fighting abilities and strength - like he was with the Mountain's.

Jaime should have died to the dragon. Writers lost their balls there. Him being saved at the last second is too cliche fantasy rather than what we're used to from the got franchise.

I reserve the right to change this opinion given how his story works out

As much as I love Bronn and Jaime, I felt one of the two needed to die to the dragon there, but I agree that it really depends where their stories go from here. They both damn well better be prisoners next time we see them.

The ballsiest thing would've been to have Jaime kill Dany and then Drogon kill him. Cut to Tyrion's world shattering for a third time.

Now you have three angry motherless dragons and 40,000 Dothraki on the loose in Westeros with the Night King still coming. Good luck..

This is just going to be GOT from here on out. Expecting otherwise is setting yourself up for disappointment.

It's basically impossible to really be surprised by a death at this point. Either it's cliche if it fulfils genre expectations, or it it subverts them, then it falls in line with all the other deaths we've seen on GoT already. I haven't really felt anything for a death since Oberyn, so I'm ok with keeping Jaime around for a good arc, we're running low on good actors already.

The place is surrounded by dothraki and I'm sure Tyrion saw what happened. I'm assuming both Bronn and Jaime have been captured. It'll be interesting to see how Tyrion moves forward.

People keep talking about how Olenna burned Jaime, but they forget she burned Cersei harder a season ago.

Cersei: You once spoke of your respect for our father because he understood the necessity of working with one's rivals.

Olenna: My dear, you have been stripped of your dignity and authority, publically shamed, and confined to the Red Keep. Heh, what's left to work with?

It was after this exchange that I realized Olenna needed to lose everything. I'm glad the show delivered.

We're getting badass armored dragons, aren't we?

As much as I like Jamie, he should have died there.

I don't know. It didn't feel like a scene set up to kill off an important character. The main storytelling imperative of the battle was to establish a path for Dany's comeback, as well as to showcase what happens when her armies fight a conventional Lannister force. For now, Jaime being captured makes much more sense from a storytelling perspective than him being killed, even though the show has conditioned us to expect otherwise.

I can't overplay how delighted I am due to my well known bias lol.



Every time I even remotely start thinking she's my type, the thought flees from my mind because I remember this,

Oh Heshinsi. She regrets what happened with Shireen and confirmed that comeuppance are in store when returns to Westeros. She also saved countless lives, not just by resurrecting the the Forreal One True King, but by bringing the last two Targaryens together.
 
I was rewatching a few episodes and a noticed for the first time the Targaryen sigil is a three headed dragon.

Obviously that corresponds to the three dragons Dany has, but I wonder if there is any significance that Rhaegar had three children and Jon is the only one remaining alive.

Probably has to do with Aegon.

The first Targaryen came to Westeros with three dragons if memory serves.

Genuinely don't understand people who want Jaime dead now. He's got so much of his arc left to go through and you want to kill him off now? For what? Shock value? That isn't good story telling, that's just killing for the sake of killing.
