    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    In the books Robert only ruled for 15 years, not sure how much the kids aged in the books. For whatever reason on the show they had Robert say 17 years.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I'm not sure we know what everyone in KL or abroad actually BELIEVES regarding their parentage...but the idea the rumor about it was confined to only a few high born is demonstrably false. An actual rumor only a couple people know currently is Jon's parentage, which is basically himself, Sam...

    Just a rumor amongst the high born? It's like people didn't even watch the show. Not to mention there was a scene prior to this when it was just Tyrion out amongst the people and some beggar was yelling about Joffrey being Cersei and Jaime's son. Despite their titles it was the Lannister...

    You're absolutely right. If I thought he was troling instead of just being dumb it'd be easier to ignore. I feel Chuk would work best in this thread if he just sat in a wheelchair like Bran all the time but instead of being the 3 Eyed Raven he'd just watch his weird lore vids.

    Did you really link their profiles from got fandom? They aren't Robert's kids. Jon is a Targ, Joffrey and Tommen were Lannisters. Facts. Also we'll just gloss over the idea that even maybe a full 20 years we'll call "decades" by the barest technical definition and equate that to "as much of...

    I guess in Chuk land this is true. The brats weren't actually Baratheon, nor is Cersei ruling as one, really. At least so far as claiming that Gendry has as much right to the crown as Jon (Aegon). The Lannisters have controlled the crown since Robert died, that's why they were against Renly...

    Am I missing some other time period of Baratheon rule, or are we calling the ~15 years Robert ruled "decades" now?

    I just want to point out there are quite a few Caps fans posting regularly in here. You guys already had a Cup before this iteration of the team, too. Don't get me wrong, becoming the first President's Trophy team to get swept in Round 1 would be pretty crazy...but we still had playoff misery...

    When they were walking in originally I thought something like that might happen, especially when they were hesitant to go into the dark at first. After they met up with rest of Knight's Watch I figured it would kind of be pointless...how would anyone from Winterfell ever actually find them...

    I mean, at least Chanur didn't think Gendry ran/swam the whole ~2,000 miles from beyond the Wall to Dragonstone instead of sending a raven... Pretty damn good first episode, I knew everyone would hate the dragon ride sequence, although obviously they were showing Jon riding which everyone has...

    Not sure what other character building there is to be done at this point. Other than to find out how everything was designed to end and see the main characters' reactions to the truth about Jon. At this point I only really care about the big explosions/fights/etc...Cleganebowl and the huge...

    Brooks Fucking Orpik scored an OT playoff winner? I literally kept saying that at the bar after it happened. Bad idea to let Kuznetsov have all the time he wants behind the net like that, but I guarantee nobody was expecting Orpik to go top shelf with a rip. Honestly I felt Holtby kind of...

    The really stupid part about the call is that if they give you the minor penalty for goalie interference (as opposed to just ruling a no goal for incidental contact) you can't even use your challenge on the play. Wasn't trying to downplay the importance cause it happened in a big moment and all...

    I don't think he should get 3, because that's what Kadri got last year for a very similar hit but the distance traveled by Kadri was considerably further (basically charging across the ice to hit a guy that was clearly down against the boards). 1 game I think is likely, 2 possible.

    Keep reading about how Columbus won the first 2 games on the road against us last year, too. People are forgetting though they did that against Grubauer, then Holtby came in and won 4 straight, went 16-6 overall. Jackets have won these 2 games putting 9 goals behind Vas.

    It helps Theon's character out, though. Saving Jeyne in the books didn't really get Theon any sort of reward except Stannis getting ready to execute him. But agreed that it makes no sense for LF to turn Sansa over to them. Unless he's legit hoping all the trauma makes her more controllable by...

    I think this is overstating his influence quite a bit. He's done well with manipulation to improve his station quite a bit, but even in the books he isn't liked by the majority of the Vale knights and lords. I'd hardly call him even unofficially the most powerful man in Westeros. As for the...

    Yeah it's just painful to watch that many huge chances right at the start of the 3rd go wanting and them to score their first goal right after that flurry. Honestly after we went up a couple of goals in the 1st felt like we were trying to put the game to sleep (not that I think that's a good...

    Yeah, 2 breakaways in a row, then wide open shot in the slot and a rebound chance right before they made it 3-1. Any one of those gets buried and I think we cruise to easy win instead of the nervous finish that it ended up. Doesn't matter how many goals you win by though, they all count the...

    I think we both agree Barca were there for the taking today (I don't expect that at Camp Nou). I also agree they should have generated far more actual chances. They only needed to hit on one to go there 1-1, and I feel like they should have managed at least that.
