He was supposed to head home to join the grejoys to the north but sacked winterfell and fake killed the young stark kids instead.Quote:

i mean if you really want to go full littlefinger, he (or his proxy) told the cutthroat to use the blade so just in case he got caught/killed, littlefinger could use it as a backup plan to frame tyrion...
but if we are being totally honest, packing that sort of intrigue into a show with so few episodes left seems like shit writing to me somehow. but then again, so does bran becoming this all-seeing time god who seems to be doing exactly fuckall to help people get their shit together.
but really who the fuck knows, at this point the show is dragon porn. blondie just wiped out an entire convoy of grain weeks before winter arrives and did so despite the gold (somehow being in the same caravan) having safely arrived at kings landing. you know, instead of heading over to lannisterland to save her fucking precious unsullied and/or nuke the greyjoy fleet, so yeah i dont know man. i dont know.

i mean everything you said was very informative and coge as fuck, but you never disappoint
Ever since Randyll Tarly reentered the picture, I've been thinking the same thing about the sword Samwell stole. Was there a point in him doing that? There have been no repercussions for it yet, and I don't think the sword has even been acknowledged in like 8 episodes.Quote:

and another thing, speaking of me getting shitty about ambiguous writing, whats the story with the children of the forest creating the night king to kill the first men, but according to the cave petroglyphs the first men and the children of the forest fought the night king?
AFAIK joffrey effectively copped to this at some point and it was well known that he made 0 moves without the counsel of baelish. Im open to being wrong here...Quote:

I guess i always thought the damning evidence was LF winning it from tyrion in a bet where jamie loses to ??? In some tournament?
more than anything i think it was just the writers thinking how clever they are by adding a nod to season one/three and a convenient way to put more valyrian steel in play before the white walkers show up. also lets bran fire a warning shot at LF that the jig may finally be up.
seems to be a running gag this season of having different characters recite quotes by other characters in previous seasons verbatim.
ive literally paid for hbo since 2005 and i refuse to watch this faggot show about dragons u should all be embarrassed

LF is the obvious #1 choice
Cersei might be a #2
Bran fucking up while time traveling and somehow bringing it upon himself might literally be #3 in my book.
Joffrey arranging it would be like, #13'ish. Least of all because it makes no sense at this point, it wouldnt further the plot.
As Sansa just pointed out, LF showing up with the dagger will mean something, somehow. If the daggers pre-assassin provenance ended with Joffrey, I dont see how that forwards the plot in any meaningful way...
eew at whatever tine just posted cuz it seemed earnest
aren't they pretty much confirming to us that LF is the culprit when he denies knowing the origin of the blade to bran?Quote:
