I thought that Tyrion used all or most of it against Stannis’s fleet. I don’t think there’s enough left to destroy King’s Landing. In any case, the alchemists are shown making more so the stockpile would seem to be a new one.
I hope the loop theory isn’t true. It’s interesting, but it reminds me too much of Dragonriders of Pern.
A bastard means born out of wedlock. If the baby isn’t Sam’s (which it isn’t), it wouldn’t be Sam’s bastard. Your bastard son is still your biological son. You just weren’t married to the baby mama. Typically in the GoT setting it means the son of your mistress.
It might not take much wildfire to burn down King’s Landing. Starting a super hot fire in the tunnels under the city would probably be sufficient to get the place burning very thoroughly. Varys said that there are close to fifty miles of tunnels under King’s Landing. If there was an air current, you could get fires starting all over the city at once. They’d be in trouble even if they had a fire department, which they probably don’t.
My point was that there was little if any left after the Battle of Blackwater Bay. The vision showed more being made, so the explosion shown would presumably be the result of a new stockpile rather than any remnants of the old one.
You forget Bronn. Also, all of the people who were used to transport the jars from the tunnels to the kamikaze boat (there’s an actual nautical term for those, but I forget). And everybody who might have seen them doing that.
Since the chances of a secret getting known are equal to the square of the number of people who know it, that’s a whole lot of chances everybody knows by now
Fireship.
He was on last year as well. But his acting was a bit wooden.
What I don’t get about the whole Jaqen/Waif situation is that the original Jaqen is dead, he drank poison after Arya failed her first test. There should be no attachment between the person currently wearing the face and Arya, in fact i thought the person now playing Jaqen was originally the one playing the Waif.
We have no idea who actually died from drinking the poison (if anyone did - Arya has apparently survived drinking water from the poison well). We don’t know if the “original” Jaqen Arya first met in Westeros is the same as the one she meets in Braavos. (After all, he changed his face the last time she saw him.) Clearly there has been some communication about Arya between whomever first met her, and the Faceless Men she is currently with, but they are not necessarily the same. “Some one” is wearing Jaqen’s face, but we don’t know who.
Given that Jaqen is just another face we have no idea who died last season.
It was also pointed out to Arya that he wasn’t her friend or mentor he was in fact nobody who died. The Jaqen character is simply because having that actor be her teacher is way easier than getting 60 actors to play her teacher each representing another face.
Another thought on that montage-
Bran knows what made the White Walkers. He knows the Mad King’s demise started the chain of events that caused him to leave a happy Winterfell. We see Mad King, White Walkers/wights, and his family being killed.
Surely their not going to just have him go back and stop the creation of White Walkers, stop the Mad King from going mad, stop all the things that caused him and his family to be in the predicament they are in now. Stay too long under the ocean and all that. Series ends with Catelyn telling him not to climb on things.
Not until the whole world goes to shit and humanity is on the brink, of course.
Sure but they’ll probably keep it in the same spot once they replenish it.
True, so basically anyone can do it, but it’s probably going to be a major character if it happens at all.
Cersei won’t turn on Tommen, I think it’s been outright stated on the show that one of the few redeeming qualities of Cersei is her love for her children. She’d sacrifice herself for Tommen rather than turn on him.
And even if she was different and heartless towards her children and did turn on Tommen, I think it would hurt her just as much or more. I’m pretty sure I remember when Ned was figuring out things regarding Robert’s heirs, someone said something about the Queen cheating on the King and having bastard children would count as treason and she could be executed. Her king that she cuckolded is dead, but she still at the very least lose what power she does have.
Cersei will try to win Tommen back, and she’s definitely going to try to destroy the Sparrows, but she’s not going to turn on Tommen.
The Mad King had spread caches of wildfire throughout the city since his plan was to burn it down. The supply that Tyrion sees seems to be mostly in one spot since the plan was to use it to defend the city, not burn it down.
If something happens to Tommen who is supposed to be next in line for the throne? There are no Baratheons as far as I know. A Lannister? Jaime? Lancel?
Probably Danaerys would have the best claim, since her bloodline traces back to the most recent non-Baratheon monarch. Is anyone in/around Kings Landing aware that she’s alive? Varys, Tyrion, and Jorah are hanging in her entourage and Tywin is dead.
If Tommen dies (and Margaery isn’t carrying) and know one knows of a live Targaryen, then the others would have to duke it out. Which is pretty much what they’ve been doing anyway, so. . .
The Lannisters would probably try to claim it, but they’d have no legitimate claim. If Tommen dies, there will be war, and the king will be the lord with the biggest army. Surely some distant cousins may come forward and claim to have some Baratheon (or Targaryen) blood, but a distant relative is not going to take the throne without military might.
Most likely, the Lannisters and Tyrells would fight over the throne, while all the other major lords would withdraw and claim independence.
Gendry is the only known surviving Baratheon, but as a bastard he can’t inherit. And since only a king could legitimize him, someone else would have to take the throne first - and would have no interest in creating a rival.
Other than that, Dany has the best claim, especially since Robert was a usurper anyway.
You trace back the male line. Robert has no other living sons, so it’d go to his brothers. They’re both dead. I believe his grandfather was an only child. In theory there’s some male relation that inherits. The Lannisters don’t come into it unless they’re also distant Baratheon relations.
Now, that’s all in theory. In practice if some other claimant came forward Cersei would tell them to fuck off and put another Lannister on the throne. Or maybe the Tyrells would. Depends on who thought they could defend their claim best in war.
