Personally I don't think GoT has had an "awesome season" since S4. Which comes as no surprise was the last season Dumb and Dumber could basically just copy and paste from the books. |

Petyr Baelish is easily one of the cleverest, most devious, conniving, and manipulative character in the series. The TV show turned him into a cardboard cutout with relatively zero action and unceremoniously cut his throat. Nobody knows what will happen to him in the books, but what happened on the show was a travesty of a mockery of a farce. And the entire Wight hunt story, its ending battle and literally impossible resolution was the same. |

Rewatching random episodes it is kinda annoying how Daenerys goes from having little to no control over her dragons to, without any explanation whatsoever, not only having total control over them but they seem to be telepathically linked to the point she doesn't even have to say anything or seemingly do anything to get the dragons to do exactly what she wants. In the S5 finale Drogon is completely ignoring Daenerys when she last sees him. He couldn't give a fuck. Then THE VERY NEXT TIME she sees Drogon she's riding him and getting him to go exactly where she wants. |

Another thing D&D keep screwing up is medieval inheritance. Without Shireen there is no one to take over House Baratheon. Gendry can't inherit, unless he marries Shireen like the original Baratheon. The nobles were all fucking peasants back then. But no way did a peasant get to inherit. You had to have a papal dispensation basically (but children of noble affairs were looked upon a bit more favorably). We also have no heirs for the Tyrells, Martels, and Tullys, though I guess Arya or Sansa could inherit Riverrun. I'd say Robin as well, but Westeros doesn't seem to allow joining titles. I'm guessing that D&D will likely leave all that unexplained. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Bastards can inherit. Ramsey inherited winterfell. Historically, it was very, very rare for a bastard to inherit anything. The Borgias are a good historical example, where Cardinal Borgia basically lived with the kid's mother but because he could marry as a priest the kids were technically bastards, so he had them legitimized. Another example would be Henry VIII's son Henry Fitzroy (by a noblewoman), who was recognized and ennobled, but not in the line of royal succession. But some random smith no one knows about would not be accepted in a medieval society. Of course, D&D already fucked that one up with the whole Dorne abomination, where the Sand Thots murder the Martells and are instantly accepted by Dorne as rulers. |

It's probably because the actress they used for Shireen is so young. I think whenever GRRM finishes the books someone is going to inherit the Stormlands by marrying Shireen, possibly Gendry, but most casual viewers wouldn't get that a medieval marriage like that wouldn't be consummated until the girl obtained her majority, and it would creep people out. That's why they aged Tommen, Margaery, Sansa, Dany, etc. to avoid that. Sansa is 13 in the books. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Jaime rips her clothes off, forces himself on her, all while she is trying to push him away telling him "no" and "stop," and we're not supposed to view that as rape? I still haven't heard an legit explanation on why they needlessly had Jaime murder his own cousin though. |

I get that. I speaking more towards Dumb and Dumber turning Stannis into a mustache twirling villain. At least they acknowledged (in a way) they fucked up by having Jaime rape Cersei after his redemption arc started by trying to claim it wasn't rape. Jaime rips her clothes off, forces himself on her, all while she is trying to push him away telling him "no" and "stop," and we're not supposed to view that as rape? I still haven't heard an legit explanation on why they needlessly had Jaime murder his own cousin though. It reinforces the negative Jamie before his redemption arc begins. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
It's probably because the actress they used for Shireen is so young. I think whenever GRRM finishes the books someone is going to inherit the Stormlands by marrying Shireen, possibly Gendry, but most casual viewers wouldn't get that a medieval marriage like that wouldn't be consummated until the girl obtained her majority, and it would creep people out. That's why they aged Tommen, Margaery, Sansa, Dany, etc. to avoid that. Sansa is 13 in the books. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I could type a college thesis on all the Dumb and Dumber screw ups. I think the worse though remains the character assassination of Stannis (I suspect it was done as an attempt to make their golden girl look better). |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
GRRM substituted a Royal Decree for a Papal Dispensation, but Ramsey still isn't really accepted, which is why he kills Fat Walda and her newborn, because even a legitimate bastard inherits behind a true son. A legitimized bastard is supposed to be an exception, but I expect D&D will just legitimize Gendry, which is highly questionable given that Robert never acknowledged him and those who knew of his birth are mostly dead. There is a ton of money and power at stake in being a high lord, and the nobility generally doesn't accept outsiders absent very special circumstances, which is why Rhaegar's "secret marriage" is so important. Historically, it was very, very rare for a bastard to inherit anything. The Borgias are a good historical example, where Cardinal Borgia basically lived with the kid's mother but because he could marry as a priest the kids were technically bastards, so he had them legitimized. Another example would be Henry VIII's son Henry Fitzroy (by a noblewoman), who was recognized and ennobled, but not in the line of royal succession. But some random smith no one knows about would not be accepted in a medieval society. Of course, D&D already fucked that one up with the whole Dorne abomination, where the Sand Thots murder the Martells and are instantly accepted by Dorne as rulers. Quote HistoryQuoted:

They were going for subtle. Did it not come across that way?
Seriously though, Stannis always was a tragic character, and I suspect he burns somebody and alienates his troops. I just don't think it will be his daughter. Quote HistoryQuoted:
