No I mean, do you think the right thing to do would be to keep it to yourself forever (hypothetically if EP5 hadn't happened yet)?
I really wanted to see this too
That's true, but he also promised to protect Jon. Telling Jon the truth puts him in immediate danger and brings undue stress and complications into his life. I think he would have told Jon some smaller details, but nothing about the big truth he swore to protect.
Honestly, I don't mind Tryion failing over and over with Dany. Dany was going to do what she wanted regardless; no one was going to succeed in keeping her from doing what she wanted. This was outright stated to the viewer in her conversation with Olenna. However.. there's no excuse for constantly misreading Cersei in that context. Was very out of character.
Yep, there were supposedly 20K members of the Golden Company at KL. lol

They must've been grooming their 2K horses and forgot to join the battle.
All he succeeded in doing was delaying the inevitable. He gave a solid, well reasoned effort, no doubt, but he did fail to keep her from attacking KL, which was his main goal as her adviser/hand.
I think ultimately there's no right choice and it's really up to how he feels about it.
looks out window
Calling a character stupid is imo the worst, laziest piece of criticism because 9 times out of 10 when people say this character is stupid, they're projecting their own hindsight + third-person omniscience onto a character who would naturally have neither. But having said that, Jon is just that stupid. He's honorable to the point of idiocy. He shouldn't have told Sansa, he shouldn't have told Dany in the first place, he shouldn't have told Cersei he pledged himself to Dany, and so on and so on. Jon is just a bad leader.
What's interesting to me is Jon's speech to Cersei in the S7 finale. "I feel we need to be honest with each other if we're going to fight together", for Jon, also applies to the truth about himself, and even his immediate family. He's always thought that honesty outweighs all else. It's endearing to me in a way but completely foolish in another. Anybody with any sense could tell you what would happen once he told his sisters. He did the wrong thing for the right reasons, which is basically Jon in a nutshell.
It's so bizarre, because in Season 2, Tyrion was basically the perfect Hand for Joffrey. He exposed the treachery of Janos Slynt and dismissed him to the Wall, he exposed the treachery of Pycelle and dismissed him from the small council, he promoted Bronn, he discovered the wildfire plot and repurposed it for the battle of Blackwater (which could have easily been lost without that gambit), and successfully holds off the attack long enough for Tywin to show up with the cavalry (and promptly take over as Hand of the king), all while stopping most of Joffrey's worst impulses. And he slapped the shit out of Joffrey for being a fucking idiot. Season 2 is the whole reason people fell in love with Tyrion in the first place; it showed him as being actually competent at managing things. So to see him make every possible wrong decision after joining Daenerys makes no damn sense at all. But I guess it goes in line with Daenerys "I want to help people, I don't want to be queen of the ashes, SYYYYYKE, fuck that place."
Just wait for that scene I think it was in season 5 where there's a close up of some random dude's balls for no goddamn reason.Interested to hear how my mom handles Melisandre birthing that shadow demon. She's been liking the show so far (season 2 beginning), even said that the violence is rather well done and not too gratuitous which surprised me. Of course she hasn't seen the worst yet. She called out the sexposition scene with Littlefinger and I absolutely agree, one of the dumbest moments in the show for me too. But my mom had rather hilarious commentary during it. But as the silly nonsense like shadow babies, white walkers and dragons are getting biggert part, I wonder if she'll just drop the show.
Yeah the writing leaves a lot to be desired on how she got to this point, in part because her acts of brutality before have always had an out or caveat we can use to justify it. She is a hero in Essos but once she sailed for Westeros she couldn't really be called well-meaning anymore. She says she wants to break the wheel and free the people, but IMO that wasn't something we were supposed to take at face value.
It was obvious in Season 6 that it was a bad idea.
Go back far enough, and everyone's an invader.
Goddamnit Varys, without fAegon in the show he's turned full idiot.
Yeah, not even an update. The world feels so small now.
Who are the people behind the unsullied? The Northmen?
New promo image.
Holy fuck! King's Landing is actually completely gone. It's literally just ruins now.
It didn't seem like that much damage was done last episode but I guess the fire spread tremendously.
Daenerys gonna rule from Dragonstone then or as Queen of the Ashes?
People better put some respeck on his name.
Whose MMD?
IIRC I don't think I've read a post/many posts where anyone/anyone seriously wants Dany to be queen.
I'm mainly just rationalizing and venting my disappointment at this point, ignore me lol.
Mirri Maz Duur, fortune teller or something from earlier seasons.
No no. You're fine. I should have made it more clear that I genuinely wasn't sure if I'd read that before or if I was crazy...it sounded familiar...lol
