Wrong. As you said, Gendry is an illegitimate son, meaning he has no claims to the throne whatsoever. Just like Jon Snow has no right on Winterfell unless Stannis legitimizes him. Stannis is Robert's rightful successor.
he last we saw of gendry was when sir davos helped him escape dragonstone after they bonded about being from the same place in the cells that were being held captive. I dont remember why exactly they were being held captive in the first place all i remember is that milisandre had something to do with it
i realize they change things from the book to the show, but i really hate the way they are making Sansa into anything more than a sniveling whiney idiot. I wanted to smack the crap out of her throughout every book and no matter how they try to change her, I still can't bring myself to like the character after reading the books. Team Arya all the way lol
I would like to start off by congratulating the Unsullied for finally getting fucked hahaha. I would assume that some if not many of the Harpies are former coliseum fighters after watching this episode. Gotta feel for Dany with her OCD for justice steering her to foolish choices time after time; I can definitely see her counting on that "prodigal son" dragon, and now only dragon who likes her, to step in when needed most.
Is anyone else getting a "Mad Queenmother" vibe from Cersi? It really blew my mind that she is literally putting her son's life in danger with this stunt. You could say that she just wants to scare him into needing her around but when Tommen accused her she pretty much sent him to the heretic's stronghold lol. She was definitely not thinking about her much rumored children of incest being targeted (caught me by surprise, but once I saw it the smirk and nod came out). I think this season could be more fun then the others. The writers have a little more room to be creative... show that they aren't just professional editors lol.
Winter is coming for some sooner than others, I just hope all the Starks are where they need to be when it reaches them.
Sorry. I should have realized I hadn't seen comments from you. I usually watch for your point of view. Of course, there have been so many comments I simply began to skim through since many of them were sort of repeats. Besides that, I'm usually the last to know the really important things. It could have been a matter of you having more will power than me, so you wouldn't have to wait so long for the next episode. But I'll try to get your back, if there ever is a next time. LOL
In the books neither Grey worm nor Barristan die to the harpies, they are currently alive and have some minor plot developments ahead of htem.
As for Brann, his story catapulted 2 books ahead of the rest of the cast, there is nothing in the currently released books FOR him to do, whilst there are several plot lines to develop for practically every other character. There are a number of reasons they might have chosen to advance Brann's story line faster than the rest of the cast. Its possible GRRM wants to introduce story line for the character ahead of his novels, for whatever reason, but there is also a more practical reason.
In the show Bran, like all the Stark children, is 2 years older than his book counterpart (where we begin he is 9 not 7), and at the point the show ends he is approximately 11 years old. The actor playing him is 17, and will likely be replaced when the character is next seen in a later season. They may simply have wanted to push through the relatively short story of Bran in order to maintain the continuity of the characters appearance as much as possible while the actor still kind of passed for the right age.
I too am wondering about Gendry, and if they'll follow up on his story this season. Guess I need to go back and do some binge watching over the next four or five weeks. I honestly forgot where they left off with him.
They somewhat explained it in the episodes but essentially the guys with the red symbol carved into their foreheads are religious fanatics.
In the episode it is mentioned, but Cercei, in an effort to cement control over kings landing and the kingdom now that the power behind the Lannisters (Tywin) is dead, reinstated the militant branch of the religion, disbanded by force 200 years before.
She also points the zealots in the direction of a few choice targets she has issue with (Loras Tyrell, her intended husband for one) who have been "sinning" in the eyes of their religion, homosexuality being the main focus.
She has set free the wild eyed beast, but can she control it?
