Damn bro. Sorry for what you are going through but you are NOT to blame.

I understand the mothers pain but she should never have said those words to you.

You have to have you first.

Man you know what hurts more than war

The feelin of failure, my boy died, he hug himself.

I told his mom I’d have him, he came back and did it

She said I was to blame, and she was right.

I told him to join me, he did, I told moms I’d watch him. And I didn’t cause I couldn’t watch me

I missed the signs cause I was weak, I knew I was stronger than him

He did it cause he was my boy, my nigga for life

She slapped me, and I’d take a life time of slaps to bring him back

War is hell

You are new to the show? This is widely known and discussed. It has actually hurt the show that they aren't in any scenes together since the break up.
There is one scene were Cersei walks around Bronn. It was weird to watch.





It is also interesting because I am sure Cersei could have said "either he goes or I go". Jerome (Bronn) would have been fired immediately.
His character is not essential and could have been recast.

I just read that Jerome Flynn(Bronn) and Lena Headey(Cersei) dated before GOT and the breakup was so bad that they refuse to be in the same room together.

From what I understand they dated and broke up long before GOT.

Again from what I read they've never been in the same scene together. I thought I remember seeing them together but now I'm not sure.

Don’t hold your breath. :smh: Because GRRM has said (publicly) that he was “upset that this was the LAST season of the tv show. That it should continue to go on.”

He hasn’t discredited the writing, or what the Showrunners have done with the script. Or the directions they have taken. :smh:

Plus GRRM also said recently that “My books will end differently than the tv show.”

(The show is the show. The books are the books. The 2 are different. He’s always said that. Since Day 1 of Season 1.)

Seems the folks who ‘complain the most’... are trying to SPIN his quotes to support their own opinions: “See, I Knew it. I was right. The writing sucks. GRRM thinks so also.” :rolleyes:

Are you really asking me "why wouldn't the creator care"?

Anyways.

How does Cersei die?

I am saying it now Jaime does it as mercy. He is the only one that should be allowed to do it.

That being said. I am sure the writers will have Euron or Sam do it.

Maybe even Mel will do it and she runs off with Grey Worm.

He has always said the books and the tv show are different, why would he care?

So I'm still having some issues with what the show has told us in regards to the Night King. It's possible that I missed something

According to the show his motivation is to bring death to the living and destroy any memory of it. Lets come back to that in a minute

In the show the powers the NK has shows us are

1. Being able to raise the dead as wights and animals that he (alone apparently) can control
2. Being able to create new white walkers from human babies
3. Olympic athlete level javelin skills
4. Super quick reflexes
5. Being able to perceive Bran in his greenseer mode
6. Able to track Bran's location once he marked him.

He was created 1000's of years ago during which time many Long winters have come and gone.

So why did he wait so long to come and try to attack the south?

If you say he had to wait til the wall came down, then my first response is well the wall was never gonna come down unless he had a dragon to melt it. The only reason he got a dragon to melt it was because Dany led her dragons north of the wall. If Dany doesn't do that the NK is still standing on the docks at Hardhome.

So, ok, Lets say the NK had the greensight too and he was able to foresee that a dragon was going to be there. I can go along with that, but then I have to ask how did he foresee all that, but not foresee that he was gonna get stabbed by someone with the one weapon that can kill him when he attacked Winterfell.

If he didn't foresee Arya's finishing move then he couldn't foresee getting a Dragon either, which means he was just lucky when the A team brought the dragon north of the wall.

So back to the intent of the NK as described by the show. He wanted to destroy life and all memory of life. Why did he have to wait for all the events that happened in the show to do all that?

What was the event that Triggered the NK to act now vs 100 or 500 years before?

Remember the Wildling King had told the Nights Watch that the White Walkers were coming long before Bran went north of the wall and got activated by the OG 3 Eyed Raven. So he was already on the move before Bran even was aware of him.

The logical explanation is that he he foresaw all of it coming, but once again he foresaw all that and didn't foresee his own termination. Just doesn't add up to me.

Yeah I think he said the show should have been 10 seasons. With each season getting 10 episodes.

Explicit intent would have added a very rich layer to the NK in my opinion.

Man you know what hurts more than war

The feelin of failure, my boy died, he hug himself.

I told his mom I’d have him, he came back and did it

She said I was to blame, and she was right.

I told him to join me, he did, I told moms I’d watch him. And I didn’t cause I couldn’t watch me

I missed the signs cause I was weak, I knew I was stronger than him

He did it cause he was my boy, my nigga for life

She slapped me, and I’d take a life time of slaps to bring him back

War is hell
You weren't weak, bro. You were human. You are Marine if I remember correctly, and being knee-deep in the shit, surviving it and coming back home and pretending to be normal is just like that... pretending.

Most of us can only keep up the ACT but for so long.

Depression is a bitch, and a bitch that keeps on eating and gaining weight. Everyday you think you got that bitch beat, the next day the bitch gains 20 lb.

If you carry that bitch just to make it through a day of work, by the time you get home you don't have any energy for the rest of the day.

If you got a wife, kids, a best friend... you don't have enough for them at the end of the day and an envelopes you like a swarm of bats. Even the strongest man loses focus in those conditions.

Short true story: I was with navy customs battalion Quebec in 2006. we were those motherfuckers that made you unpack your shit after you already packed it just to make sure you didn't have any illegal shit to bring back to the States.

I haven't seen death. But, I've seen people who have seen it and seen people I knew were close to suicide, that walking Dead lost look (it's kind of hard to encapsulate right now but I remember the few guys whom I knew were in the shit and the first chance they got they were going to do it.

Anyway, a guy comes to my table with that look on his face. I asked him to dump one of his bags so I can check it and he zones out - looks right through me.

I asked him what's wrong, and he said nothing.

I could have went by that. I could have just... Most people ask how you're doing but they don't care. They want the simple answer, but that day something told me to keep pressing.

"No, man. For real, what's wrong?"

"Don't worry about it man. You got a line a mile long waiting out there"

I don't care about that. It's just me and you here. We get done when we get done. What's going on slick?

He goes on to tell me that he should have died.

I asked him how, and for those of seen combat, they don't speak about it glorifying it in any way. War is hell. When combat vets speak on it, they are choosing you as a release vessel.

He said he had boot rot and his sergeant recognized it and forced him to go to the medic.when the guy refused the sergeant said, 'Don't make me pull rank. Go get your shit fixed.'

The guy said he had a run (convoy) to do, and the sergeant said, 'I'll do your run today, you pick up mine on Sunday. My wife back home is off that day and I can talk to her longer.

It was a done deal. The man went to the medic and a sergeant did the convoy run.

The sergeant never made it back. Convoy hit an IED and the sergeant was killed.

I don't know how long after the event that this man was coming home, but he was on his way back to the States.

The guy broke down right there in front of me. Crying. I reached over the table, hugged him and I cried too.

"I ain't got nothing, man. I don't have anyone who would miss me. My folks are dead. I got no girl back home. Nothing. Sergeant had two kids and a wife and a baby on the way. What the fuck, man? If there's a God, why would he do this shit? Why would he take him instead of me?

Wiping tears out of my own eyes I told him, "The shit ain't fair man. But you got a job to do. That Sergeant's wife, his kids - be there for them if she'll let you. Don't share this with her because it'll only hurt her. She might blame you when it's not your fault. It's just the way should happen sometimes.

"Be there for her and the kids. Make sure they remember their dad."

After that, we just talked about bullshit as he unpacked his duffel bag and all his shit. And even though I wasn't supposed to, I helped him fold all this shit and stow it again. I don't think I saw anybody else that day.

That was 13 years ago and the one thing I remember the most about our conversation after work what's the look. That lifeless look he came to my table with was gone.

War is hell. That goes without saying. But, most people blame themselves for more shit than they should. God bless you brother.

It's clear to me that D&D created the NK because they thought the show watchers would need some tangible enemy to be the big bad instead of just a general menace of zombie like characters behind a wall.

I'm ok with that as choice but don't build up all this intrigue and mystery around the character if you gonna just ignore it when the character's arc comes to an end.

Kinda hope Martin can get off his ass and salvage the white walker storyline in the books now.

I didn't miss it. This is only the latest Winter. There was a winter that lasted for 3 years or something like that during Neds lifetime. I remember reading Tyrion was born during the same Winter. So Why was this winter special?

Remember the first scene of season 1 was The White Walker killing Wildlings and men of the Nights Watch. No one had seen them for a 1000 years and this was before Bran got crippled and before Danys dragons hatched.

So what triggered the Walkers and NK to come south?

The only thing that makes sense is thst Jon's birth fulfilled some prophesy that triggered something with the Walkers but the show makes it Clear that Jon was not the focus or worry of the NK.

Right. They made is seem that something extremely special happened why the NK was coming down so hard at the present time.
I know he wants to kill everyone but what was so special about now?? You been around for thousands of years!
Same thing with Melisandra's story arc. You backed all these kings thinking they were something special.
You never got confirmation and then you kill yourself.

So back to the intent of the NK as described by the show. He wanted to destroy life and all memory of life. Why did he have to wait for all the events that happened in the show to do all that?

What was the event that Triggered the NK to act now vs 100 or 500 years before?

Remember the Wildling King had told the Nights Watch that the White Walkers were coming long before Bran went north of the wall and got activated by the OG 3 Eyed Raven. So he was already on the move before Bran even was aware of him.

The logical explanation is that he he foresaw all of it coming, but once again he foresaw all that and didn't foresee his own termination. Just doesn't add up to me.
He could never pass the wall until the magic was broken

Once he marked bran, magic was broken.

Thats why he could enter the cave under the tree to get blood raven

He was buildin his army up and waiting for the right time.

He caught bran slippin and the magic was broken

Right. They made is seem that something extremely special happened why the NK was coming down so hard at the present time.
I know he wants to kill everyone but what was so special about now?? You been around for thousands of years!
Same thing with Melisandra's story arc. You backed all these kings thinking they were something special.
You never got confirmation and then you kill yourself.


Beyond the wall is fucking huge man

It takes time to build an army that big lol.
