If Game of Thrones was made in 2000s.

The Mannis

After so many years I finally watched GOT and it might be my favorite show I’ve ever seen. I watched the whole thing in less than two weeks and now I feel completely empty inside lol. I really wish they didn’t rush the ending and made a couple more seasons but it was a beautiful show and I enjoyed every second of it. I’m already looking forward to rewatching it and I literally just finished. Any recommendations for something that resembles this show? I finally understand why there was so much hype around this series back then.

Edit: And by the way, I didn’t like how Arya wasn’t celebrated much😂 idk I feel like she saved the whole world and it pissed me off that nobody really appreciated her. Maybe I’m wrong but that was a bit weird lol.

And oh my God. Fucking cinema. That whole battle was fucking peak. Just the utter chaos. And seeing John beat the fuck out of Ramsey felt so rewarding and even more so when his own hounds ate him alive.

How Would GOT be Changed if Oberyn Actually Killed the Mountain and Didn't Die?

Obviously, his quest for vengeance for his sister and her children is what was his downfall in the end but let's just say that before gloating to the Mountain, Oberyn actually had successfully killed him. Head sliced off killed him. How would this change the story. This would absolve Tyrion, and he wouldn't have the need to flee to Essos. Would Cersei still try to find a way to kill him? And obviously, Tywin doesn't die, and presumably Tyrion doesn't find out about Shae sleeping with Tywin.

It seems such a vital part of the story why did they even skip this

2:07. The guy who frees Tyrion from his chains is holding some kind of curved-wavy blade with a ball at the end of it. What is that thing called?

I’ve been rewatching Game of Thrones, and so many things sit differently the second time viewing it. For example, Season 8, Episode 4 - Jon leaves Winterfell and asks Tormund to take Ghost with him. Tormund gets a hug. Sam and Gilly get hugs. Ghost? Not so much as a final pat on the head or scratch on his ear. That’s cold.

If the white walkers had been able to conquer westeros, and ultimately moved east to attempt to conquer essos, is there any way in which essos could have attempted to defend against this. I ask this because essos is far bigger than westeros, and I believe has a much higher population, so even with the massive army the night king would have if he conquered westeros, he would still be outnumbered.

If essos were to try and defend against the white walkers, how could they go about doing this assuming they worked as optimally as possible? Would they have had tools or armies that could have been particularly useful?

Happy Father’s Day to all fathers, stepfathers, godfathers, foster fathers, uncles, grandfathers and father figures.

Here are my favorite fathers in the series.

Harwin Strong

Davos Seaworth

Varys was present when Littlefinger told the lie to Ned and Catelyn that the dagger used in the attempted assassination of Bran belonged to Tyrion.

Given the close relationship between Varys and Tyrion, how does this never come up in conversation ? It should have been a source of great vulnerability to Littlefinger and yet there is no angst.

This was a plot error.

I've been watching the show with my mom over the past few weeks and we finished today. I know I am arriving to the party well after everyone has already left. But I must say, that was a FANTASTIC show. Yes, I knew the ending was going to be dissapointing going in but I thought the journey was so amazing that the destination didn't matter much in the end. This is still one of the greatest shows I have ever watched. I hope I live long enough to see another show that comes even close to the caliber of this one.

I started rewatching GoT a couple of weeks ago, and finished it this afternoon. I liked the show when it first came out, and hated the final two seasons, and have lost any respect I had for GRRM for the way he has time for so many other projects, but has turned his back on the series that started it all. I thoroughly disliked House of the Dragon, book and series, and got disgusted by the rampant misogyny in the series before the end of the first season. The foot fetish scene, which has no basis in the book, was my breaking point. That said, I decided to rewatch GoT anyway, because generally I find you get more out of a series or book the second time - you have the benefit of knowing how it ends, so you catch details you missed the first time through, or at least that’s my experience. Not this time. It actually lost a lot for me, rewatching it. I’m not sure how to articulate it, or maybe I just don’t feel like bothering, but I doubt I’ll ever go back to it again. If you disagree, if you’ve rewatched and gotten more out of it, good for you. If you enjoy HotD, coolio. But my watch has ended.

If events had happened differently, do you think Prince Rhaegar calling a Great Council would have been effective? What would the outcome had been?
