Game of Thrones: 7.03 - The Queen's Justice

[Mr Orange]

interesting point, although it would be hard to fake the sandsnake's death as i'm sure Cersei will be back to check on her. although Qyburn does seem like the kind of person to always back the winning side.

watched the episode again last night, and the lack of battle time still irks, but the dialogue gets better on the second watching.

i do hope the next episode is full of the hound and Arya

Anybody wanna bet that pair will end up ruling the whole thing in the end?

 

[Dan Jones]

If there's any justice the Hound and Arya will run away together and start their own comedy sketch show.

I just realised something, when daenerys says to jon, you lost 2 brothers as well. Jon agrees. But surely in his mind he lost 3 brothers. Robb, Rickon and Brandon. Pretty sure Jon at this point still believes Brandon to be dead.

 

[Freydis]

I was going to write something about what I thought of this episode, but then it got too late and I'm tired... so...

 

[Blake00]

After epic Daenerys Stormborn introduction...
...
...
"this is John Snow"...
...
...
...
"erm he's King of the North!"

hahaha I lol'ed so hard in that bit.

Apparantly sam told jon bran is alive, can't really remember it but that what i'm told.

 

[Marvin]

Ah yes, didn't they cross paths as Sam came South through the wall and Bran went north. Sam must have then told John after they met up again.

Can't remember if John had mentioned this to Sansa after they met either?

"Anybody wanna bet that pair will end up ruling the whole thing in the end?"

I'm wondering if Jon Snow is not the Song of Ice and Fire himself.

 

[WaylanderToo]

mention has been made of the theory that Sam is the narrator of the whole shebang...

 

[Judderman]

Narrator? With so much of the story being conversations within various groups it seems unlikely. The whole series of books is written from different character viewpoints, including their opinions.

 

[Mr Orange]

Yeah I don't think there is any way there could be a common narrator for it all

 

[Dan Jones]

But that's like saying one person couldn't write a history of The Wars Of the Roses, or Waterloo. If Sam does become the writer of ASOIAF, then noone's suggesting that he would do it immediately after events finish; more likely he would do it later in his life, as a maester, consulting the records and survivors to tell all those tales (whoever the survivors may be).

 

[Mr Orange]

Well I guess that would explain why the latest book is taking so long to be released...

 

[Heather Myst]

Oh there is a new book coming? I had not heard anything about it.......

I am impressed how Olenna Tyrell went out like a boss. That was just another example why this is the best show on television.

 

[Dave]

A return to form, I'd say. The dialogue was great this week, so refuting the comments made about poor dialogue that I agreed with last week.

I utterly disliked that they once more used the sewer thingie.

Well, at least we found out who killed Joffrey and it wasn't "The Butler did it!"

Anyone notice Littlefinger's look when the new Maester of Winterfell said he would search through old Maester Luhwins Raven records as he was a meticulous recorder.

All the old men they have killed off and Littlefinger and Varys still hang on! They've finally run out of old men to murder now and are starting with the old women instead.

And Melisandre's cryptic words to Varys that they would both die in Westeros. It left him speechless for once.

Was it a cryptic prophesy? Or was she saying simply that they will be buried back in their places of birth when their own time finally comes? Just dust in the wind!

Surely the Starks are still major contenders. john is certainly more worthy than Dany.

How will he learn of his mother's identity and his true ancestry? Who knows to tell? Will people trust anything Bran sees in visions? The way Sansa looked at Bran, even she thought he had lost his mind.

I just realised something, when daenerys says to jon, you lost 2 brothers as well. Jon agrees. But surely in his mind he lost 3 brothers. Robb, Rickon and Brandon. Pretty sure Jon at this point still believes Brandon to be dead.

Even if he knows that Bran is alive, if I was him I, would have mentioned that the death of my father was at least as important to me as step-brothers.

 

[Judderman]

Does Jon know poor Reek is still alive?

 

[Dan Jones]

Sansa could have told Jon that Theon helped her escape Winterfell - maybe she did and I (we?) missed it.

 

[Mr Orange]

Jon must know theon is alive. maybe a bit of a reunion on dragonstone

Fantastic episode. And a long time coming, as some of the headlines put it out. It gave us moments we haven't seen, feelings that went from one side to another as I personally laughed and shared tears. So, in a way it was a perfect chapter and it continued in honour of rolling off the main cast.

The list is getting rather short for the people, who can take the Iron Throne. At the moment it is between Cercei, Daenary and the Night King. My money is on the dead as I strongly believe Daenery will perish on direct confrontation as she has no choice put to go to King's Landing after the Casterly Rock fiasco blew on her face.

One thing that I don't understand is how the Iron Fleet is so fast? It took down one fleet, delivered the prisoners to King's Landing and then went around the Westros to strike on Unsullied rear without nobody noticing in the Dragonstone. All without losing a ship?

Well, I guess to their defence this is a fantasy series and the Iron Fleet is made from the ninja ships. I just would have thought that those dragon's would have contributed more on the overall defence than being show of force to the King of North.

In a way I could claim the Hand failed to serve the Queen of Dragon's by splitting the forces and not seeing that his brother was better at the strategy. And because Cercei is so concentrated on killing her opponents, she is only doing a favour for the Night King. He doesn't even need to come over the Wall as he can wait until the white is covering the land, and his opponents has mostly killed themselves in the this mad Game of Thrones.

A question, is the Three Eyed Raven same as the face-on-tree (Sorry, I have a hole in my memory)? Is he another God? Or should I say a champion or an avatar for that deity, meaning is he the same as The Red Woman is to the Lord of Light and Arya to the Faceless God.

I agree with much you say. The Iron Fleet is the wind sweeping up loose ends and minor characters to ship the plot to another place.You may be right on who will take the Iron Throne but I prefer to be an optimist and hope Daenary will win. However given the way the writers kill off key characters I would not be surprised if Cercei, Daenary and the Night King all die and an unexpected character takes or destroys the Iron Throne. Someone like Tyrion or even Ayra. Tyrion would be unwilling but Arya has the determination and abilities, in the right circumstances, to seize the iron throne, e.g. all the other candidates killed. She was earlier heading to kill Cercei. Who would bet against her achieving that?
