Littlefinger's Plan
"I think I know Littlefinger's plan" is typically what we say when we really don't, but his rather straightforward behavior during the last season and a half has left me a bit suspicious. But, in true Littlefinger fashion, just when you think you know what he's up to he goes and does something compl...

Re: Potential biggest GOT shock ever final episode season 7?
I read an interesting article about that, though I can't remember where I found it. Basically, it explained that, while pure gold wouldn't melt at that temperature, there are many gold compounds/alloys that would. It is easier to believe that than it is to believe that Drogo's jewelry was solid gol...

Re: Potential biggest GOT shock ever final episode season 7?
Viserys died from molten gold while Dany commented that "fire cannot kill a dragon." That really bothered me when they did it. A wood fire is approximately 1100F and a dung fire around 640F. Gold melts at 1948F. My theory is that it wasn't gold at all but caramel and Viserys died of sugar shock. Ju...

Re: Potential biggest GOT shock ever final episode season 7?
Not being burnt might prove that he is a Targaryen, but being burnt to a crisp wouldn't prove anything at all. Remember, not all Targeryens are fireproof. Viserys died from molten gold while Dany commented that "fire cannot kill a dragon." This implies that only a select number of Targaryens are fir...

Re: Howland Reed?
Jon up and quit, but here's the rub: you cannot quit the Night's Watch. Perhaps a King could release you from your vows or something, but if you do not have orders or permission from the Lord Commander to be away from the Wall, then a NW member is breaking his oath by leaving. On the other hand, Mo...

Re: Dany - Villain? Savior? Something else?
I don't hate Dany. I don't think she's an antagonist. But, I also don't consider her to be a protagonist. I think that she, like most characters in the show, is a morally complex individual who thinks that their intentions are inherently the most noble and, while that might be the case, cause them ...

Re: Dany - Villain? Savior? Something else?
That's pretty much what I meant. I know that "protagonist" doesn't equal "hero," though I had always though of them as similar.Raeslewolhn wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2017 11:47 pmI'm glad you clarified this and brought in some great lit info.
I just assumed NLF meant hero.

Re: Dany - Villain? Savior? Something else?
I think there is one thing that we have to consider, and that is that we, as viewers, address characters in a completely relative and subjective manner. If we chose to "favor" a character in, say, Season 1 or 2, psychology and human nature says that we will continue to justify their actions so that...
