first time watcher: Purple Wedding

This is my first time watching game of thrones, and must I say the purple wedding was the most satisfying thing I’ve seen. From all the deaths I’ve seen, Joffrey’s death might’ve just moved this show to the greatest of all time shows. I absolutely love this show.

There’s genuinely little to no plot armor. I’m still heart broken from the end of S3, but S4 gave me peace 😂

Edit: wait WHAT? Either I haven’t been paying attention, or I’m just now finding out JOFFREY IS THE KINGSLAYER’S SON?

How come when Daenerys starts to gain power in Essos we don't see the arrival of more exiled Westerosi men to her cause?

What was the deal with whitewalkers and night king?

Almost the whole series they get hyped as the end of humanity, an unstoppable army that refuses to die and only grows stronger, oh and they got a big undead dragon that destroyed the big magic infused unbreakable wall BTW.
Their mission to kill bran becaus he can remember? And to destroy humanity and reach kings landing

All of this hype and build up, just for it all to end in a single battle with the god-like night king super wizard to be stabbed by a kid and it all to end instantly? It felt like a joke, like the night king was about to stand up and snap aryas neck or something but nope, that was it. The all powerfull army destroyed by a collection of remnant clans... in a single night where half the battle wasn't even visible and barely anyone important died lol?

I was honestly expecting then to actualy win and destroy everything in westeros and beyond and it being the end of the story.

I remeber a scene prior to the battle where someone (bran?) dreamed about seeing the throne in kings landing covered in snow and ice and destroyed surroundings, expecting it to be a sign that the whitewalker army would win.

Same thing with the wilding army of Mance Rayder of hunderds of thousands, just for 90% to be slaughtered by the whitewalkers in a single battle and that being the end of the wilding problem.

Did the writers just get lazy or what?

How does everyone feel about Jorah??

I recently completed a rewatch and I remember thinking how much I loved Jorah but this time around I wasn’t as impressed with him.

A particularly disliked how he treated Tyrion when he kidnapped him and this changed my opinion of him entirely.

I feel like his love for Dany consumed him and he’d have done anything to get back into her good graces.

I’m curious how others felt about him.

What was your favourite pov in the series?

I’ve just started reading the first book and so far, my favourite is Jon Snow. He’s such an amazing character. I love how he is so different to the Starks, it makes him a great character.


What about you?

Which character would you have been interested in surviving until the battle of the long night?

Most characters that died way before season 8 would feel very out of place for me but there's a couple of them that I thought would've been interesting to see play out in the final battle of the dead. My first choice would be Oberyn Martell only on the basis that I enjoyed his character and how Pedro Pascal portrayed him early on in the series. My second choice is probably Tywin because at that point I feel he would have his opinions but obviously would not be the first one in charge of anything, making his involvement interesting just to see how he reacts to the overall situation. My runner-ups are either Robert or Ned even though their plot points pretty much start off the whole series and determine most of the shows events.
