Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon!

[Ouch!]

A bunch of reasons.

The problem is that Dany is the one putting herself in these situations. She brings competent people to her cause by virtue of her heritage and dragons alone. She's the one who decided to cross the Red Wastes with a company of weak and elderly without direction. It was smart to use her bloodriders as scouts, but you can't neglect that she put herself in that situation in the first place. Each victory credits a defeat: she did not properly understand her role in the Khalasar, and so was put in a terrible situation due to it. (SPOILER)When she sacked Astapor, she left it in a state where it very quickly degenerated into a civil war until it was conquered by her enemies. Dany's best moments only come when she's put herself in a really bad situation and manages to dig herself (or, often, have someone else dig her) out.

[Shlup]

She's making really complicated decisions though. And, yeah, she's surrounded by competent people, but very few of them are trustworthy--most are just out for their own power.

For a teenage girl who spent her whole life in hiding and being told her bitchbaby brother is The Dragon, I think she's doing very well. Give a girl some credit! For most of ADWD she's sitting in one place trying to move carefully, but damn if none of her options don't have really troutty consequences.

Oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man.

I can't wait for

(SPOILER)"What I want..."







"... is Casterly Rock."

This season's trailer wasn't as interesting to me as last seasons. I dunno why. Maybe it's cause i know they are splitting this season up. I'm curious as to where they'll leave it off

I agree with this assessment.

These must be the Unsullied, right? Awesome, can't wait to see them!

Damn, can't believe we're getting that far already! I feel like all this stuff happens much later, but I'm excited to see it will be covered.

Jon looks more and more like a sad puppy with every season. Is he howling in this? I hope he's howling.

THIS IS THAT SCENE ISN'T IT

[The Man]

(SPOILER)I'm going to be surprised if they get to that scene this season. As far as I remember it was about two-thirds of the way through the book. On the other hand I suppose it's possible they'll screw with chronology and leave it as the cliffhanger for season four.

[Bunny]

(SPOILER)There are so many places that the third season can stop as a cliff hanger. I am of the opinion that it will stop with Jon Snow's naming as the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. It isn't as great of an ending as RW but I think it would be sufficient enough if done right. Though I'm not sure where each event falls into place in the book, since it has been awhile since I have read them. I am less concerned about following the books (individually, anyway) to the letter and more concerned about them making the series good.

The castle in the first picture is either Storm's End or Dragonstone. It looks like it could be either of them, since they have a lot in common. I'm guessing Dragonstone though.

[Shlup]

I assumed it was Dragonstone.

[Jinx]

I assumed it was Dragonstone.

As did I.

Also:
(SPOILER) Man, I REALLY hope we get to see RW this year. I think it'd make a pretty climatic cliff-ending. They could even end it where it looks like Arya is killed, like the chapter did in the book. She's a fan favourite, so hooo trout, people would be going crazy.

[Lonely Paper Star]

(SPOILER)I'm pretty sure RW is going to make it into the season, but toward the end. GRRM's and the showrunners' interviews indicated that much.

I feel very morbid for saying this, but I'd want the season to end with them putting Grey Wind's head on Robb's body. Send the viewers off with even more trauma and tears.

(SPOILER) If we don't see Robb's penis before he dies, I will be a very unhappy Samantha.

[Ouch!]

(SPOILER)Given that Jon becomes Lord Commander in his very last chapter, I find ending the season there unlikely. I imagine the last we'll see of Jon Snow this season is when he escapes from the Wildlings south of the Wall. If they pass up the opportunity to end this season with the Red Wedding, I'll be stunned.

(SPOILER) I think it'd be one hell of an ending. Since there's a good portion of people who watch the show that do not read the books, I can just imagine Reddit now...

So many things I must resist clicking on...
