Think Daemon will change given what happened to his wife
First point I agree, perhaps a one episode hiatus from his previous warmongering.
Yeah I mean she was convincingly shocked when he confessed what he did, so you can’t even really assume that they had a very close trust type bond or relationship because he did something she didn’t even intend for him to do. So it was just a little too senseless without some deeper context.
No they weren't.
I'm guessing they get even older at some point, so its better to rip this bandaid now rather than after a season or two where people are even more attached to the actors
Yeah it would look really bad eventually.
Especially with using milly given her baby-face
The problem is that you shouldn't need videos or massive discussions on forums so that book readers can explain major plot points to people who haven't read the books. If the show runners were competent this should all be explained in the show.
Exactly, some of those arguments might make sense (most are ridiculously flimsy though), but if that's the level of knowledge of the universe required to make the tiniest modicum of sense of a plot point, then it's obvious the writing is not good enough.
On this one I disagree, it was shown pretty explicitly. He got sacked because even the king is starting to hear rumours that he's the father of Rhaenyra's kids. That was all explained in the conversation between Harwin and his father.
No what we heard when the king talked to his hand was that he wasn't going to accept his resignation because it would look bad for the princess. He couldn't sack him for sleeping with his daughter for the same reason. It would look bad on the princess.
So where is this shown in the show? We have been shown that Cole is a nobody but not that Joffery is.
How is a Kings Guard a nobody? His previous life does not matter.
I'm talking about the conversation between Breakbones and his father, the hand of the king. Without Breakbones and with Leanor being generally uninterested, Rhaenyra goes to Dragonstone to be better protected. Symbolically as well it works because Dragonstone has typically been the seat of the Targaryen heir anyway.
Yeah I know but when the Hand talks to the King, the King he tells him that he had sacked the Commander of The City Watch because he struck a King's Guard. He then will not take the Hand's resignation because he will hear no mention of his daughter's improprieties. Now he made his brother Commander of The City Watch so was that such a slight on his brother by making him less than any member of the King's Guard?
Of course it does. It's just that Alicent has use for him so she kept him alive, otherwise he'd have been fecked.
He did bang her, though
Lyonel Strong wants to take the opportunity to get Harwin away from Rhaenyra, because Breakbones is becoming far too loose with the secret of his children's parentage. That's the crux of the conversation between Lyonel and Harwin. Dismissing the commander of the City Watch for striking a Kingsguard is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. The Hand of the King resigning over it, however, would very much not be a reasonable thing to do and would raise a great deal of attention and scrutiny.
Agree with the post, though I think that Dance of Dragons is covered in roughly half of Fire and Blood (300 pages or so). Of course a lot of things there are only hinted, while in the show they are getting confirmed.
True. More Sir Side piece.
Where do we hear this?
In Game of Thrones, which 99% of the people who watch this will have watched.
He is a complete nobody in the show. A KG is a very high position, regardless of his standing before he was knighted and took his KG vows.
It's thoroughly documented in Game of Thrones - half of Tywin and Jaime's conversations are about it.
That is all old news and they aren’t scheduled, just in the developmental stage (last I heard) which doesn’t guarantee they’ll go into preproduction much less be scheduled.
They've been pitched, I'd be surprised if even half of the suggested shows get made.
I can't remember anything in GoT that said King's Guards could kill a man with impunity. Let alone striking a member of House Valerian.
The only one of those that should get made after HoD is Dunk & Egg (Snow is a horribly bad idea). It's by far the best option. It takes place pretty much exactly in between HoD and GoT so the landscape will be familiar but the characters different. It has some three excellent novellas already published with Martin at least having the outline for the 4th unpublished novella, the characters are iconic and really likable and/or fascinating and it gives a great opportunity to take us away from Kings Landing and into the trenches with hedge knights and common folk (in addition to some intrigue and politics). If each novella is a season I think it would be best at 6 or maybe 8 episodes (at a stretch) per season, definitely not 10. If they were smart, they would go with that because its a slam dunk!
Well, one of them strikes a member of House Stark with impunity in front of the entire court and nothing happens to him, so...?
This is from four days ago. It sounds like the Jon Snow is moving ahead as a limited series. I hope the series does not suffer fatigue like the Star Wars franchise is going through.That is all old news and they aren’t scheduled, just in the developmental stage (last I heard) which doesn’t guarantee they’ll go into preproduction much less be scheduled.
Tyrion threatens to have him killed by The Commander of The City Watch and the king ordered him to strike her.
That is all speculation, you’re still not giving us any news. Plus we already have a thread about it.
