Game of Thrones Season 7 - Monday Morning Torrenters Thread

[cybershot]

Didn't quite know what to make of the Tyrion being a bit pervy and hanging around the door. Is it because he drinks and he knows things as in the past, or because he needs to know so he can drink and know things or was he jealous.

If it was mormont I'd understand.

 

[bemused]

I loved the Sansa/Arya/Littlefinger scene. It was a genuine surprise.

It was really well done.

The brief analysis I've seen so far suggests that, in a world where marriage is political as much as romantic, he's concerned about the ramifications of those two getting together.

He might also be aware of Jon's lineage, but I don't know if there's been an suggestion of that to this point.

I enjoyed how Qyburn casually walks over to the wight and starts examining the parts like it's all just some big science fair and he's checking up on how the competition is doing.

It's all going a bit hackneyed traditional swords and sorcery now isn't it? All the goodies squared off together facing the enemy, and Cersi and Euron squared off nicely as the totally unsympathetic villains, even Jamie has abandoned her.

Plus I found the Sam/Bran genealogy bit confusing. Does this mean Daenerys and Jon are cousins, siblings?

 

[ElizabethofYork]

No, Daenerys is Jon's aunt.

His mother was married to Daenerys' brother.

Daenerys is Jon's aunt

Edit: snap!

So in the eyes of any right thinking Targaryen or Lannister it's cool they shagged?

 

[ElizabethofYork]

Well, I suppose both the Houses of Targaryen and Lannister have a history of incest .....!

If your own brother tried to shag you, and your enemy has 4-5 kids with her brother, you can't get shit for shagging your nephew, though it is getting a bit penthouse forum.

 

[belboid]

It's perfectly legal to marry your Aunt/Uncle in various countries now, they'd think nowt of it in those times. Although, obviously Jon will.

Now if Qyburn had sent them oop north to bring back a Wight/White, that would have made some sense.

 

[Gromit]

In feudal times them marrying would cement their claim on the throne over Gendry. Two legitimate claims v one bastard one.

Just because something is "perfectly legal" doesn't also mean it's not fucked up.

 

[donkyboy]

they are both targs. the targs have history of marriage between brother and sister-so this aunt shagging is a non issue-of course book readers will know this already

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aside from the whole aunt/nephew thing (my understanding is the Targaryen's have been a bit "keep the bloodline pure" in the past, so not quite as frowned upon as in other places), I feel like the Dany/Jon romance is another storyline to suffer at the hands of pacing. They've barely had 10 interactions with each other, now they're super-duper in love? We haven't really been shown that beyond a few longing looks and some shorthand hero moments.

 

[DotCommunist]

the barry white started playing in the background the first time they met. I suppose its been the way of the series as agent sparrow mentioned, getting it all in place. See also: magic teleportations

They've been through some shit together over a short time though.

Jack: I have to warn you, I've heard relationships based on intense experiences never work

It's fucking Game of Thrones, everyone's been through some shit together!

Both Jon and Daenrys are not known for their calm rational problem solving methodology.

Or acting abilities.

 

[Gromit]

Yep. Notice how Bron and Tyrion were making misty eyes at each other too. Jamie and Brianne.

Jon and Dany just gave into it though, heck they are monarchs so can do what the fuck they like without concern.

Did I say that? I may well have done but can't remember.

Anyway, I for one am estactic that Dany and Jon are in luuurve*. Once Tormund and Brienne get it on all my soapy romance needs are met

*though I think he'll be bothered by their blood relationship and she'll be more perturbed by the fact he trumps her in the succession.

I dunno, I was super-duper in love with Mrs SI after less than - I mean fewer than - 10 interactions, and there weren't even any dragons involved.

mother-in-law on holiday?

Oh, you went there

Spoiler: Theory

I'm betting the only true Lannister is Tyrion. I'd put the twins as down to the Mad King raping their mother. This would make Dany Cersei's younger sister. If Valonqar is another gender neutral valyrian word like the prince thing then Dany gets to do her in. Probably having the baby cut out and keeping it as her true Targaryen legacy. Cersei will only ever have had 3 children in one vague prophetic sense.

Oh, that's why I don't know all about the GoT genealogy shit. I don't care.

All seems too simple tbh.

Did Varys even get a line last night?

 

[mojo pixy]

Isn't there a spell that stops the dead crossing the wall?

Guess it doesn't work if the wall isn't there any more.

Is the night king not homing in on Bran, after he touched him in the vision back in S5 (Hold the Door!) .. I seem to remember the children of the forest saying the night king couldn't enter the tree but the old 3 eyed raven said He can now or something like that, the implication being that touching bran in the dream broke the protective magic there.

Not even sure if this is right, or if they aren't being clear about it in the tv show.
