That's probably not a problem you have to worry about given how off base you normally are.

Not an accusation , didn't Selmy sit on the counsel when Robert asked Varys about Jorah.

He might know it as a fact, but from Dany's perspective it would be an accusation.

This is also true, but there are cultural traditions in the show that are above all, like taking an oath. There is another big cultural tradition that they take seriously that we witnessed, but I can't talk about it or any ramifications because we haven't gotten to the ramifications yet. I haven't read the books, but the wife sometimes points things out.

This is Westeros as it exists in the days of tumult, in the days following the death of King Robert Baratheon, in the shortening days that warn that winter is coming. But this is also the geologic history of Westeros, reaching far deeper through the annals of time than the reign of any of the Seven Kingdoms. We pieced this geologic history together from character observations, town names, official Game of Thrones maps, and the principles of geology learned here on Earth. Using only limited data we were able to reimagine 500 million years of planetary evolution, including volcanoes, continents rising from the oceans, and ice ages (with guest appearance by white walkers and dragons). To explore the history, and to view our maps of the geologic reconstructions, click the numbered icons on the map, or on the links below.
Geologic events occurring XX million years ago (Mya) on Westeros:
(today) The size of the Game of Thrones planet
(25 Mya) The Earth split Westeros from Essos
(30-40 Mya) When Dorne boiled
(40 Mya) Land of ice
(60-80 Mya) The rise of the Black Mountains
(80-100 Mya) As the Moon rose, so did the Lannisters
(300 Mya) Diving the tropical reefs of Winterfell
(450 Mya) The sand ran red
(500 Mya) The first mountains

Man, I'm so into knowing all about GoT!! Never read any of the books, but love this thread. Toughest part right now is keeping all the characters straight!! Watching just the TV show, I sometimes forget who Cersei is... like she's the one who was F'ing Jaime, right? Joff's mom? Tywin's daughter? I get that right?
Need a damn family tree with pictures to keep it all straight. The Viper! Why didn't they make reference to him being all poison poison in the show? That would have been much cooler.
Still not entirely sure why he's so mad though. Tyrion should have been like u mad brah?

Honor only matters in the eyes of those greater than you. Break an oath to one of them and die. Break an oath to a lesser and fuck them, what are they gonna do?
In the case of the Red Wedding well the Young Wolf broke an oath to someone that would never forgive, only greater in the sense of his willingness to do the unthinkable.

'Honor > all' is the facade, not necessarily the reality. Just like the legitimacy of Joffrey as king is important for the facade.

You might be pretty mad if your sister had been raped and cut in half by a barbarian after watching your neice get stabbed to death and your nephew get his head smashed against a wall.
Now tack on the fact that your anger has been brewing for 17 years.
That's the Red Viper.
If I recall this is actually exactly where Jorah gets outed in the book..and she proceeds to send them both through the shit-filled Meereen sewers as punishment and to help sack the city. The issue with no Arstan Whitebeard is actually better for the show, she can punish him for not telling her about Jorah immediately. In the book he was still undercover or whatever.
Honestly, consider finding time to read the books. Oberyn's a pretty bad ass character, but he's mostly a front for the true gangster in Dorne. To make a long story short, they're really, really fucking mad at Gregor Clegane and the Lannisters for what happened at the end of Robert's Rebellion and the writing for the Martell POV chapters are among my favorite in the entire series.

They did, and I watched it, but it didn't click that fast apparently.
Should be interesting to see how it plays out.
And I do agree, I want to start reading the books! Thanks!

Exactly. And what's interesting about the Dorne PoV stuff is Doran seems extremely timid to start with (exactly what Arianne accuses him of) but we come to find out he's as convoluted a schemer as any of them. Also can't wait for more Dorne stuff. Arianne's stuff, the Sand Sn

I got the impression that the story he told to Brienne hasn't been widely publicized either, so maybe not many people knew quite how looney toons the king had gone at that point. I'm sure Robert called him that just to annoy him though.
