Can someone explain how Ned Stark saw the blonde hair as a smoking gun that Cersei’s kids weren’t Robert’s?
How was Ned planning to prove to Robert or the council that Cersei’s kids weren’t his? Everyone already knew her kids didn’t have black hair, and no one ever questioned it. Why would that suddenly convince Robert? Ned was so sure Robert would believe it that he even warned Cersei to give her a chance to flee which set the stage for his execution . So really, this whole Game of Thrones drama started from Ned’s “gotcha” moment, which was basically a nothingburger and far from definitive proof of Cersei and Jaime’s incest or their children.

Did Ser Barristan have genuine respect for Robert?
Barristan had the unfortunate luck of serving the mad king, so in comparison Robert was not as bad. But did that make Barristan respect Robert? I know he had negative opinions of Robert as a king, but did he also think Robert had good qualities? And in his mind did Robert's negative qualities outweigh his positive qualities or not?

BOSS LADY OLENNA
When she said " You've lost Cersei. Its the only joy I can find in all this misery."
When she said "Not at all what I'd intended. You see I'd never seen the poison work before. Tell cersei. I want her to know it was me. "
Just had to give her some credit today cause I'm feeling like Lady Olenna.

Assuming Game of Thrones events never happened in westeros, and King Robert, Ned, Stannis, and Tywin are all alive, who would win if Daenerys, with her three dragons, Dothraki, and allies, attacked King’s Landing ?
I wonder if Daenerys and her army could have conquered King Robert’s Westeros if the realm hadn’t torn itself apart and weakened from internal conflict.
Reclaiming the Iron Throne was always her ultimate plan. She was actively building her forces to be strong enough to conquer Westeros. She would have attacked regardless of whether Robert, Joffrey, or Cersei sat on the throne.
What might have happened if she had launched her attack under King Robert’s rule?
Robert was clearly concerned about the Dothraki when he spoke to Ned, noting how fierce warriors they were and warning that if they ever set foot in Westeros, they would be extremely difficult to handle. Ned argued they had no ships, unaware that Daenerys will later acquire thousands of ships to transport her army. Back then Robert didn't even know she will birth 3 dragons to make the army even significantly stronge. Also not to forget probably some house in westeros would've joined dany's side cause they thought King Robert was an illegitimate king. Furthur strengthening dany's army.
I wonder if he, Ned, Tywin, Stannis and their allies could have withstood Daenerys, her dragons, the Dothraki, and the Unsullied in an allout war.

Why do people portray Yara as a lesbian???
"A boy, a girl, depends on the port"
These are literally her words. Yeah, I get that in the show she's seen with women only + that awkward situation with Theon. But combined with these words, that would've just meant she's bi (probably with preference for women)?
Still, I've only ever seen her being described as a "lesbian icon" or something of that sort. Like, bi people exist and even the actress herself suggested that, and people just... ignore that?
It's very similar to the situation with Marvel Loki, I think. Like, there weren't any relationships between him and any man shown, but Loki himself said "A bit of both" to Sylvie's words "What about you? You're a prince. Must've been would-be princesses... or perhaps, another prince." (They were discussing their romantic experiences) So there was a verbal confirmation, but it wasn't shown physically.

The Red Wedding
Going into Game of Thrones it was the only thing slightly spoiled for me. I knew it was coming, I knew it would be brutal, but I didn't know any details.
DAMNIT wtf!! I had to take an hour pause because I was pissed off and depressed 🤣🤣 I knew but was still throw off. I had been bracing every time that they mentioned a wedding preparing myself and then boom I was surprised.
