That makes even less sense. But the thing I really have a hard time trying to understand is the phrase "they deserved it".

-My problem with 1 is that Jaime is going North to help. Many things must happen to end in a betrayal. -With 2 maybe Jon is not near when it happens. -3 is very hard to believe.

In my opinion, only if he is trying to stop Dany going all "mad queen" and all goes terribly wrong for everyone.

Imagine someone just returning to the fandom after taking a month off: Hey guys, what is going....Tyrion what?!! Why did he..? What??? ...Who did..? Friki? Oh Friki! But Joe what? Who is Jo..? Gendry? Seville??.... DAVOS will be the new KING??? DAVOS???!!! WHAT IS GOING ON???!!! Agree!

Agree. Also, love the lil cactus.

Only if "they deserved it" (speaking about people of KL) goes like this: Tyrion: They deserved it, they deserved a chance to live! By the way, I am not saying that Friki is lying or even his sources; but I think that something is terribly missing without the proper context, like my example above.

But it never happened with this show. At least never with a main character.

Well, the new "spoilers" don't make sense. So I really doubting about them now. It contradicts almost all the narrative of Tyrion until this point. And D&D (mostly) have been consistent with their own characters. Also, we do know specific words of Tyrion defense(?) without knowing the whole context of the "betrayal" first now? Weird.

Maybe. But I think different because of the bigger Tyrion-Varys-Dany narrative. It sounds more consistent with the characters.

I think Varys speech/conversation with Dany in 7x01 is a really big clue that Dany will kill Varys.

If I look at the ongoing Dany-Tyrion narrative in the show, I'm pretty sure it will not be jealousy or personal ambitions the reason of Tyrion downfall.

Maybe sometimes they hype to sell it (the show). And perhaps sometimes they warn us to sell it

I think most of the actors are satisfied with the ending. But they understand not everyone in the audience will feel the same, because people likes happy endings, everyone has a favorite character, etc. and they are trying to warns us.

Agree. It will be Sansa Stark.

This year it's not just that we got so few and confused spoilers...it's also the wait is twice as long!!

Maybe, I suppose, because that will not be the motivation.

Talking about it only in a narrative sense, it's up to the writer to choose this or that style. But to call a plot-driven story a mistake only because it is a plot-driven story does not make sense if you think about it.

After reading opinions the last two days about Tyrion in season 8 and if the spoiler is true, i think it's seems that D&D put enough seeds there to use them, at least, in a way. Other thing i noticed is people keep mixing two different things: characters making mistakes (small and bigger ones) and mistakes within the writing. Writing a character making a mistake when you already made sure to stablish a series of circunstaces around the character doing those mistakes is just a narrative choice, it is not a narrative mistake. It seems people dont like this or that character failing and forget the sea of circunstances where such event (the mistake) happened. And that is where the criticism of certain plots falls apart. One of those cases is "Arya in Winterfell" plot or Sansa before the Battle of the Bastard scene.

This is an interesting point. I suppose if a writer want a scene with a couple dancing a waltz, the writer will write stuff that will lead to that dancing scene.

We should explain our opinion/thesis without quoting out of context. Because every quote has its own context.

And that's one of the problems. The phrase makes sense in the context of the Tyrion-meeting-Dany plot decision and with the interview explanation. To use the phrase to give it a different meaning (out of the context of the interview) does not prove anything.

Thank you! People keep using that phrase out of context. They are talking about a specific event inside a specific episode as a part of a specific plot. They are talking about the timing. About how they wanted the meeting at that moment instead of waiting more and more episodes and therefore it made creative sense to choose 5x07 to do it, instead, let say 5x10 or 6x03, etc.

I know it does not belong here, but... Ramin Djawadi finally won an Emmy!!!

Not really. Sometimes I like to criticize the criticism if I find errors within it. The logical byproduct is a defense of the show. That's all. I really agree with this.

Because Arya likes the power that playing the game of faces gives her. Even if it is dangerous, cruel and maybe even unreliable as far we know. She believes it's some kind of superpower and that she is some kind of superhero. She is very wrong.
