Female empowerment has always been a part of this. I mean, ffs we have Cersei and Daenerys. It's not a new theme with the introduction of Lyanna Mormont.
The fact that this is what half the thread is about since the episode definitely shows that this episode wasn't as strong as some of you are saying.
All got episodes taste the sameIt says less about the quality of the episode and more about the quality of this forum's members.
Not nearly as strong as the brave, independent women of Bear Island who don't need no stinking boys to fight wars for them, that's for damn sure.The fact that this is what half the thread is about since the episode definitely shows that this episode wasn't as strong as some of you are saying.
They even did the "hey cool song", "thanks it's a new one" inside joke thing. Only thing missing from this scene was Brienne showing up to tell him his song Shape of your Body is misogynistic and This is what a real woman looks like.What if he said he was Ed from House Shereen? It was a pretty blatant 4th wall break which I can't recall ever happening in the previous 6 seasons.
Yeah this was off for me too. They weren't even shitty ships, they were lit famMy only beef with the episode was that Euron somehow built 1000 ships on an island with no trees and still sailed to King's landing before Theon and Yara could go pick up Dany and sail to Dragonstone. I think everybody saw that coming but it's still a bit of a WTF moment.
I am glad that Bran and Arya are finally getting back in the mix and every storyline is in Westeros now.
I'm sorry Zaara. Let's talk about how cute the new Lannister gear was instead.Women did and said things that fell under the increasingly bloated umbrella of 'shit women characters can't say without triggering the fuck out of me', let's bitch about it for pages and not see the irony
The travel thing is definitely starting to become a bit jarring.My only beef with the episode was that Euron somehow built 1000 ships on an island with no trees and still sailed to King's landing before Theon and Yara could go pick up Dany and sail to Dragonstone.

Feminist hero Lyanna Mormont stole the show with this rousing Game of Thrones speech
yeah, definitely no pandering going on there.

That was litterally in response to Glover scoffing at arming and training women.
Seems pretty in line with rational human behavior.
[/QUOTE]Nah, not trolling. I just don't follow the show as closely as everyone else. I watch the episodes and then don't think about it again until the next season starts. I enjoy it when I watch it but I can't remember who all the people are. A friend at work told me last year about how Jon Snow was possibly a targ or something. I don't remember anything about who his other was.
I disagree. Someone who put forward an argument like that wouldn't just immediately nod and sit down like a slapped dog. It may seem rational to us, but I guaran-fucking-tee you that someone actually from that time line would be like "What's the point to living if the women are dead? They're weaker and will be the first to die", because that sort of logic was extremely prevalent in that part of history.
