Wait? Who says everyone's on Team Dany?
It'll never happen, but I'm hoping Arya kills everyone and takes the throne.
That would never happen.
Dorne, The Ironborn and Dany haven't done anything to piss Arya off, so she has no reason to be going after them. All three of them would have to find a reason to fight Jon Snow as well for Arya to go after them.
And even if all that happens, and Arya successfully kills everyone? She still has no motivation (nor grounds) for taking the Iron Throne.
I feel like everything is leading to Dany taking over the throne. But... Hrm. I mean that seems too clean and planned for Game of Thrones!
Always expect the unexpected with Game of Thrones, it's how the show thrives. :P
But that's kinda diff tbh. Sean Bean is an actor. Ed's a singer. And Sean's playing a role,
not a cameo. I know other bands made
cameos but none were as idk overt as Ed. I'm not
mad but I did recognize him immediately lol.
And IDK MAN. 2 seasons left and they need to wrap up all the storylines... Idk if there's time to make Jon Illyrio and Varys' Targ. I don't see them betraying Dany, who has an army, is allied with both Dorne and Highgarden, has three dragons, for some
half-Targ in the North. Likewise, I don't see the Northern bannermen ditching Jon and declaring for Dany/Cersei. I mean, yeah, GoT has plenty of backstabbings but they don't happen without reason.
Sheeran is also playing a role, he didn't just walk up, break the fourth wall and start singing. And he did the role just fine, I've never seen Sheeran before but he for me he blended in fine. The issue just seems to be that people recognized him, which is a bit unfair if other famous people in the show (or famous people pre-GoT) get a free pass. If his performance was lacking I'd get it. But no one's actually complained about his performance, just his presence.
As for the 2 Seasons? It really depends on context. Some of the support Dany has is because she's believed to be the only Targaryen left, that can change with news of Jon's heritage. And Jon is doing enough bold actions as ruler that he might not even need bloodline issues to bring him down.
He's forcing his subjects daughters to fight, he diverting all their resources to a threat most of the lords likely don't believe, he's openly working with and trusting the Wildlings (though, sending them away from the others was pretty smart on his part), and politically is playing favourites with houses that betrayed him.
He can very easily end up pissing off his subjects enough to cause a revolt, despite the respect he's earned for himself. That being said, these are Northeners, they tend to be more honorable, loyal and practical than any of the other Kingdoms. So they aren't as susceptible to political drama and games as the other houses. But even they have their limits.
- Sansa outright undermining her brother in front of a court of Lords: feels fucking bad man.
- I didn't know Euron Greyjoy was so into leathers....
- I sometimes forget how glad I am that a mostly tertiary Thoros of Myr found himself all the way here onto TV.
- Part of me wanted the Hound to just go 'luljk' after the fire scene.
- Regarding the Sheeran cameo: I think it could be argued that of all people that have made appearances in the series, he has the biggest current non-GoT pop culture presence. Mileage may vary on what that does for your 'immersion'. I didn't mind it, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't guffaw a bit (I blame it on his face...)
Conversely, without all that, Sheeran had a perfectly normal performance.
Oh yeah! I forgot to mention Greyjoy! XD
He was pretty entertaining to watch at Kings Landing... Also he does rock those leathers pretty well.
Sansa undermining Jon wasn't cool. And her playing the "Joffrey didn't let people question him" card is bullshit.
Like no, you're free to question Jon! JUST DON'T INTERRUPT HIM DURING A PROCLAMATION TO DO IT!!!
Like seriously, I get she has more political experience than Jon, she that was just stupid on her part. She knows exactly what Jon's issue with it was and she's playing dumb about it. Plus, this is the North, it isn't the same kind of Game as Kings Landing. It has similarities, but there's a reason a big part of Season 1 was Eddard Stark being completely appalled by the how Kings Landing operated, because that wasn't how the Northern Kingdoms operated.
