I read the series long before the HBO series and It was obvious to me back then that Lyanna and Rhaegar are the parents of John Snow.
Im not sure why people are praising episode 9 so much this season, it was o.k but had some problems. The battle between John and Ramsay had the worst infantry encirclement scene I have ever seen. Why were the wildlings bunched up in a massed ball? Why were the Bolton Infantry so few? Didnt they say 2v1 before the battle?
Also, Dany fighting off the slavers in slaver bay was rushed and the matter made trivial. It was no small matter, all slaver cities vs Mereen + Astapor (and Astapor quickly fallen) had Danny in a real bad situation. The Giscari legions are meant to be comparable to the Unsullied infantry if I recall correctly.
The best episode that I enjoyed most was 'the broken man' with the hound and the Septon. It was simple and had heart.
A little correction bro.. The Ghiscari legions are not meant to be comparable to the Unsullied..
The Ghiscari legions were elite units of Old Ghis empire before the rise of Valyrian dragonlords. But Old Ghis was destroyed by the valyrian dragons and so were the Lockstep legions. Today's New Ghis is just a shadow of the former Ghiscari empire. The Legions of New Ghis are no more than a cheap inefficient copy of those ancient legendary legions.
Also, it should be remembered that the army against Danaerys has serious discipline and leadership issues. And most of their soldiers are slaves, whose loyalty is extremely suspicious and their will to fight against Danaerys is negligible given that she is regarded as the savior of slaves. And if that wasn't enough, The pale mare is ravaging throughout the siege lines taking a huge toll on their numbers and morale.
A cocktail of all these factors allows the defenders to triumph against a much larger host.
What are the best quotes or monologues according to you guys.?
