The existence of Euron's fleet is easily the biggest plot hole in the show. That one is pretty cringe worthy (and could have been avoided by Yara/Theon only taking 1-2 ships). The travel time thing though is insane.



Fair. There are some reaches. Honestly, they could have saved themselves some grief there if Euron didn't specify a number.

Now there's literally a crackpot that Cersei didn't wipe all the poison off her lips and infected Jaime


Yeah, I figured that would happen once that scene was right after.

As for the travel times, I know it's fantasy and that a certain level of disbelief must be employed. But for some reason, that just sticks out so much to me. It just annoys me when I notice it. Why must D&D ruin my immersion?

Also, I really hope HBO has increased security for the final season. It would be almost impossible for me to not read any leaks.

Because the other option is endless scene of people riding or sailing through nothing. There are no other options.

Why are we still having the travel times argument? It's like arguing that Star Wars sucks since we don't spend a bunch of time examining the economic underpinnings of moving fleets around the universe

Tons of reasons. Magic might exist in this world but they are bound by the limits of their technology. We also have tons of references even how shaky some can be of how long it takes to sail, ride and drive an army from point A to point B.

We accept dragons and the others because in our world do not exist. But the technology available and resources to travel by foot, horse or ship we unerstand.

I will be mad if Jaime is not the one to kill Cersei eventually. I have to admit that I am very disappointed that he is cool with her killing so many people with wildfire.

He should have opened up with Olenna, given us a glimpse into his inner thoughts before she croaked. Instead, he is still completely whipped.

That last scene may be the most important and lead to the final straw between Jamie and Cersei.

Now Jamie has proof that Tyrion and Sansa didn't kill Joffrey. And we remember how hell bent Cersei was that it was him and all the chaos it lead to. This is huge imo.

Especially given all of the remarks from Olenna about Jamie basically being a whipped dog who will die by Cersei's hands eventually.

To go through this again. We are never given the dates for when anything in this show happens. These timelines are not sync'ed up.

Do you mean to tell me that you didn't like the parliamentary procedure parts of Episode 1?

You mean to say that trade embargoes, trying to get someone to retroactively sanction an occupation,and a failed attempt to get sanctions leading to a vote of no confidence wasn't exciting? Surely you jest.

Oh you know Cersei is going to get her shite rocked soon. That'll force her to do something insane, which will force Jamie to kill that bitch


Of all the shite she has done evil she has more than made up for it the last two episodes. No more fricking sand snakes. Well except for the one which may come back to bite her in the arse somehow.

This is why you Melt all the time. You think you should be the show runner of this show and demand every storyline go exactly as you envision it in your head.


I will say this, with my theory earlier, I have no doubt GRRM himself would have gone through with it, and Jaime sure as shite wouldn't have sex with her. He goes with the most violent solution possibly almost every time, and he gave me reason to think this would happen. D&D though, sure I'd believe the poison angle. D&D have restraints for better or worse.

Episode 1 pretty much makes my point.

What do you not understand about this episode taking place over the course of a couple weeks?

He already knew it wasn't Tyrion. His arc is over in my eyes. There will be no redemption. I honestly can't figure out what it will be that finally throws him over the edge to kill her other than Cersei attempting to burn KL down.
