Are they? So far we have them trying to play all sides with the Lannisters(Tristain), Dany(Quentyn) and fAegon(Arienne). Quentyn has already died without impacting the plot in any way, Myrcella just got an ear chopped off, so they aren't going to be on the Lannister's side, and who knows how Arienne is gonna to react to fAegon, she has already been shown to be loose cannon so I can almost guarantee she fucks that up.
She also withheld critical information that could have outright killed Jon in the battle of the bastards. She's petty, not very intelligent, and apparently fucking hates Jon.
Literally almost got him killed for no real reason.
It's not like Jon is her favorite character from her favorite TV show that she wants to survive at any/all cost. It's her fake half brother who she barely has any relationship with and her real family is almost entirely dead on misplays that she has gotten to witness. Jon dying at the battle of the bastards would have been like rain falling off her back or no worse than Rickon dying...not something to risk her plans on.
It's one thing to not care about Jon dying, and I just think it's a whole other that she basically trades assured victory over Ramsay, her torturer, for a more shaky outcome that may not end in her favor in order to fuck Jon over.
What are they supposed to do while they wait for the Night King?
Make preparations. There should be no shortage of things to do to prepare. Projects to oversee. People to inspire and talk to. Especially when half of everyone is sore at you.
You seriously think that Jon Snow AKA Aegon Targaryen learning to ride a Dragon is not an important thing to prepare for when it comes to the story?
Only they rubbed it in no ones face since they were secluded. Dany even made mention to it.
Why was the scene presented as a cute date instead of a serious battle preparation scene?
They were in the courtyard making kissy faces at each other while everyone else was working. Varys, Tyrion, and Davos has to address it.
They were talking. I don't think the Unsullied and Dothraki are going to look too much into that.
to build drama, no? to have that scene and then see another scene in the same episode about jon finding out his true identity. pretty messed up. "oy.. i just did my auntie"
Because it's likely that neither of them even know that it's that serious yet.
You think Arienne will marry him? It just seems out of character for her to go along with an arranged marriage.
he already learned that when Sam told him his father is Rhaegar. But he didn't seem to have a reaction that, only in terms of who should rule was going through his mind since he responds by saying Daenerys is our queen
I thought it was clear that she withheld the info to lull Ramsey into acting on his terms and then catching him off-guard. Telling Jon would have changed Jon's battle plan and Ramsey would have countered accordingly to merely dealing with a larger army rather than being blindsided while his forces thought they had achieved victory
This is seriously one of the most pathetic excuses that keeps getting paraded around. Like are you people serious that Sansa is ignoring her psychic brother and her king, and that they brought the largets army in the world with dragons there just to hangout? Being that ignorant of whats actually coming and not being able to conceptualize whats happening when everyone is telling you and showing you what a big deal it is, is the sign of a stupid character.
This very much felt like a set up episode for things to come, with only 5 left it can't be long until things get crazy.
This literally does not matter right now. At all. The north is just as stupid as Sansa is and honestly if I'm Dany and next episode they want to start being ungrateful for my help I'm taking leave and letting them handle the walkers on their own. Lets see how fast they drop the "We WaNt JoN tO bE kInG" schtick.
Did she really?
Yep. Dany ain't gonna give up that Crown.
Yes.
