has there been any reference to how the unsullied horde is fed? They constantly march through barren deserts and rocky shores…fish, perhaps? For that matter, how are any of the people in those areas actually fed? There are no agricultural industries around at all.
I was wondering this as well. Freeing all the slaves must have disrupted the local economy. Who is feeding them?
I was wondering what the local economy actually is. Do the city-states make all their money selling slaves to each other? ![]()
… or I could just ask and get 3-4 good answers in a matter of minutes.
I was speaking relatively, really. It always is in fiction, I suppose.
I didn’t notice him. It would be nice to see what he’s up to, though.
Up to you. What I meant, though, was that more generally you must have missed the significance of some events due to not realizing certain facts we found out earlier. You may also have missed other things without yet realizing it, and so can’t ask about it. I’d say anyone would gain from watching it all again, actually. Sometimes you realize a character you’re used to in later episodes showed up earlier and you didn’t notice it was the same, originally not-very-noteworthy person. I doubt anyone got everything out of it the first time.
I thought this was hilarious (and surprised not to have seen it linked here already).
Especially the part at the end about the names of lesser characters, which struck very close to home.
That’s exactly my read on his character, too.
I love those Honest Trailers - someone linked to one a while ago, and we went through every single one. ![]()
That was so funny it’s not even funny. But it is!
I thought the narrator’s style of delivery was too jokey. He should have played it straight.
Lord Friend Zone! hehheh.
“All men must die … who are in any way close to Sean Bean.” Har!
Y’know it occurred to me that we(or at least I) always assumed that it was some non-Tyrion Lannister tried have Bran assassinated in the first season that Tyrion got blamed for.
I’m wondering now if that was a Little finger who was behind it.
If so, with the death of Joffrey that’s two assassination attempts of Baelish that Tyrion’s been blamed for.
It was littlefinger who was behind incriminating Tyrion by telling Cat that the knife was his and that he lost it to Tyrion on a bet. But he was nowhere near Winterfell when all that stuff was going down, i doubt he even knew Bran was injured at that point.
Well, in season 1 it was Littlefinger that says it was his dagger that was used in the attempt on Bran…and that he lost the dagger to Tyrion.
In Season 1’s episode 3 Littlefinger describes losing the dagger in a bet to Tyrion. Littlefinger claims he was betting on Jaime Lannister, who was jousting against Ser Loras Tyrell. I doubt Tyrion would bet against his brother. But then again, we know how honest Littlefinger is so we should probably just take him at his word. ![]()
Also, earlier in the thread there was a conversation about whether Littlefinger recognized Arya at Harrenhal. One piece of evidence that was offered (that I myself found convincing) was him telling Sansa afterward that he’d seen her sister alive. Well, back in Season 2 he told Catelyn the same thing, that both her daughters were alive and well and they could be traded for Jaime’s release. This was before his chance encounter with Arya. So I’ve changed my mind again, I’m going back to thinking that he didn’t recognize Arya.
It stands to reason that Littlefinger was responsible for the attempt on Bran’s life. Nobody has actually said so, but his ultimate plan was to make the Starks think the Lannisters tried to kill Bran. The only way to make that happen is to make sure there is an attempted murder and that there is incriminating evidence.
Watching the scene again and seeing the way he looks at her repeatedly, if he didn’t actually recognize her he was damned suspicious. And as she’s leaving the room, he starts talking about Catelyn and her daughters, which is highly coincidental if he didn’t recognize her.
How much time had passed between being pushed out the window and the murder attempt? Time enough for a crow to fly to King’s Landing and for Littlefinger’s man to go north?
I think it was a matter of a few days. The trip from King’s Landing takes months.
I asked that awhile ago. Logistics are the concern of military theorists, not HBO audiences.
