We are talking about medieval warfare. This is what it was like. They used boiling oil on enemies, tortured and maimed. Life was cheapened by so much purposeful death and so fed the circle. You are ascribing modern day morals to age old battes.

 

Well... most of those are events that probably only happened a handful of times. Most medieval lords didn't want their troops to get killed and would only go into full-scale battle if they knew they had a significant advantage over the enemy. Their morals weren't totally out of the window. I think Severin's got a pretty good handle on it.

it ain't that deep guys :lol:

Are people really arguing over a damn TV show? :blink:

That is what this topic is here for...

 

Going in depth and geeky as possible, and none of us is losing friends over it, we're just discussing. Besides, I find the morality of the whole thing really interesting.

Tyrion, Cersei, and Daenerys are the only ones in the show so far to have used any weapon of mass destruction. Tyrion used wildfire against Stannis' navy, Cersei used wildfire against a religious cult, and Daenerys used dragon fire against an advantaged Lannister enemy. All three times have been when a certain individual or group is disadvantaged and currently losing, and is using it as a last resort.

 

The only instance in which, to me, it seemed immoral was Cersei. But even then, she was ridding Kings Landing of a vicious cult that was taking over from the crown. If not for her, the game for the throne would have become a joke and Daenerys probably would've turned her ships back and denied us the Drogon vs Bronn fiasco :lol:

This weeks episode was decent but it was always going to be difficult following up last weeks episode.

 

Cersei stole this episode for me - that reveal to Jaime and the way she'd set Bronn up to take Jaime to Tyrion was clever. I am getting bored of Arya though - if any of the Stark's have to go, I would like it to be her.

Wtf - she is by far the best Stark.

 

Bran can't even act.

Bran needs to go

 

That jon reveal though *.*

Yeah Arya is my fave, Bran my least fave (is it the acting or is his character genuinely a c**t who seems to have no regard for anyone's feelings other than his own?).

I retract my previous statement - can Bran go first because Oliver summed it up perfectly!

 

Bran to go first, then Arya. I've REALLY warmed to Jon Snow since he went over to Dragonstone so I hope he doesn't end up going - it would be unlikely given what happened at the end of season five/start of six, but you never know.

Best moments were Jon and Drogon, still rowing and the brilliantly casual Rhaegar/Lyanna marriage bomb.

I know they didn't need to say anything more but SUCH A TEASE

 

Felt scared for Arya playing against Littlefinger, that's not going to be pretty when it comes to a head.

 

Liked the discussion about the morality of executing the Tarlys, further to the theme of 'daenerys is going to be such a bad queen'. Was great to see Gendry again, particularly paired with Davos, I loved that scene with them and the soldiers, even though I knew exactly how it'd play out, Liam Cunningham has such a natural way of playing Davos, I always look forward to his scenes.

 

I did want Hardhome part 2 from the title though so a bit disappointed the episode ended where it did, but I guess that'll be next week.

Next week is set up so nicely.. surely they're not all coming back!?

 

Lots of subtle hints thrown in throughout the episode, I also picked up on the marriage hint! Surprised to see the Tarlys burned to a crisp, but I guess it serves a purpose for Sam now.

As long as The Hound, Gendry and Jon survive it's all good!

That gross man with the awful and fake accent needs to DIE.

I'm no longer at all sure how I would like this show to pan out. Dany doesn't appear to learn any of her lessons and I'm less keen on her winning now, the Starks don't really want the throne so I can't see that being a satisfying ending either - as for the Lannisters well it would just not be a fitting end.

 

I sort of want it to end with Kings Landing burning to the ground and Cersei to die melting into the throne, both destroyed forever! Jon can have the North and Dany can have the South by building something brand new.

To be honest I think the only ones at risk are Beric, his mate and Tormund.

 

If Ser Jorah bites it, I fully expect him to sacrafice himself for Dany or to see Dany die in front of him. Guessing Gendry might have some importance to the story and The Hound has to the face The Mountain at some point? No way Jon dies.

I was reading on Popsugar that Gendry might smith weapons out of dragon glass but it'd be all very quick imo.

That's how I want to see it end too!

Yeah Gendry is definitely going nowhere, definitely not having him like missing for 4 seasons to suddenly appear and die near enough straight away.
