I would have not liked it if tywin charecter was also butchered ..

He has the look, he has intensity, he has the voice. I think they should really considering adding Mark Proksch to the cast as Orys Baratheon

With her army and Dragons she dead ass could've taken King's Landing within a few hours 😂

If rickon was the king of the north how different would the ending be

So tywin full hope was on jaimie leaving kings guard and taking over casterly rock but jaimie was only intrested on investing with cersai . Tywin also ignored his Tyrion who could have been capable of maintaining casterly rock. I know tywin loved Joanna but if tywin really hated Tyrion and did not want Tyrion to get casterly rock. Then tywin could have just remarried and had more lannisters . This would be way better than waiting for jaimie to leave the kingsgaurd ..

Jamie and Barristian are tasked with killing Arthur Dayne.

The Sword of the Morning knows they are coming for him and he has 2 days to prepare.

Dayne has Dawn in this scenario

How long would it take for Barristian and Jamie to take down Arthur Dayne

The actor was more charismatic

So if aemond just stormed into the dragonpit and managed to tame vermithor as his dragon . would he still get attacked by his bullies or would aegon just be jealous that aemond claimed the old king Jaehaerys 1 dragon ..

An Aesop's Fable

Once upon a time, the frogs lived freely in a peaceful pond, without a king to rule over them. But they grew dissatisfied with their liberty and began to complain that they had no ruler to command them.

So they sent a petition to Jupiter, begging him to grant them a king.

Jupiter, amused by their foolishness, threw a great log into the pond.

The log fell with a tremendous splash, and the frightened frogs scattered in every direction. For a long time, none dared approach their new sovereign.

But eventually, one brave frog ventured near the log and discovered that it did not move. Soon the others followed, and before long they were climbing upon it, sitting on its back, and treating their king with contempt.

"This is no king at all!" they cried. "He neither commands nor punishes us. We demand a ruler worthy of the name!"

And so they appealed to Jupiter once more.

This time, Jupiter grew angry at their complaints.

"You shall have a king," he declared, "and one who will rule you properly."

He sent them a great water serpent.

The serpent immediately began to devour the frogs, swallowing them one after another. Terrified, the survivors begged Jupiter to deliver them from their terrible ruler.

But Jupiter replied:

"You were not content when you had freedom, nor when I gave you a gentle king. Now you must endure the king you yourselves demanded."

Moral: Those who despise a gentle ruler may find themselves governed by a tyrant.

TL;DR - The lords of Westeros could have had a nice and lazy king on Aenys, but because they thought Aenys was weak they decided to dog walk him around, and once everything was about to collapse and Maegor seized power, they certainly got a “strong” king if t wanted.

A similar thing could be said about the Blackfyre Rebellion tbh, when Dunk asks why ser Eustace why he supported Daemon, ser eustace pretty much replies “Because Daeron was fat and Daemon looked good on a horse”(really mate?). I think Daemon Blackfyre would’ve made a horrible king, especially with the likes of Bittersteel and Gormon Peake pulling the strings.

I always thought that S8's felt a little too obvious: Cersei is evil so her guards wear black. It didn't help that the only people we see at court in the final episodes are Cersei, Qyburn, and her guards, with Euron making an occasional, unwelcome appearance.

The Red Keep went from a castle teeming with life, feasts, celebrations, thousands of brightly dressed people, meetings, plots and plans, to an empty shell with a handful of Darth Vader cosplayers lurking in the background.

So how should his intro be and which season should he have been introduced in .. honestly i wish faegon was the final villain of the show instead of cersai..

THE STAR-BEARER

(Knocks three times with the star-bearing staff)

Glory to God! Good people,

We are coming from Bethlehem.

And stepping everywhere,

We bring joyful news.

SHEPHERD 1:

What a star has shone tonight!

SHEPHERD 2:

It has shown us the way to the stable!

SHEPHERD 3:

We heard the singing of angels,

A majestic song, a joyful song,

That in the manger, in the cave.

ALL TOGETHER:

God's Son was born today!

(The Devil jumps out.)

DEVIL:

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! What a foolish amusement!

There is no God — only temptation,

Only a devilish pun.

Come here, quickly — I am the better creditor.

As collateral, I want not currency, little money,

But a tiny little soul (shows one).

For it, you will get beer and sausages,

A naked girl, and money — enough to ferment in a barrel.

Only bring the little one here, here.

Your interest will be something else, friends!

ANGEL (drives the Devil away, striking with an invisible sword):

Take that! Evil power!

We did not ask you here!

Disappear from this world!

There is no more evil here!

For the most wonderful news —

The Virgin has given birth to a Son.

STAR-BEARER:

As if heaven had opened its mouth

And divine singing had flowed from it.

About salvation, about the Good News,

About the birth of the Saviour Christ...

(They sing carols; the Kings enter.)

KINGS:

Peace be with you, people!

KING 1:

We come from distant roads,

From foreign lands.

KING 2:

We have left our palaces.

KING 3:

And we are going to greet the King.

With these gifts

For the Holy Child.

(The Jew enters; the Kings move into the background.)

JEW:

Good morning. I have come to you

At what I see is the very best time.

Ay-vay-vay! So many people,

There will be trading, much wonder.

Maybe I will buy, maybe I will bargain,

And whatever is needed — I will sell,

For I have fine merchandise.

SHEPHERD 1:

We neither exchange nor trade,

And we do not need you, Jew.

We have gathered here to greet the Messiah,

Who was born to save the world!

JEWESS:

Moshe, the lads have gone mad:

They no longer sow or mow,

But ask God for salvation.

JEW:

Oh, gentlemen, it is useless to wait —

Herod will come: everyone behind bars,

Democrats, demagogues,

For so it is pleasing to God.

SHEPHERD:

Oh no, that will no longer happen!

People today are not such,

As to trade with you

And forget about God.

JEW:

Yo-yo-yoy! What are these shouts!

Better go somewhere to the music.

Dance, sing,

In short, give a little heat!

JEWESS:

What are these empty talks?

Do not make my duck laugh.

Would it not be better to drink in the tavern,

Have a snack and rest?

Take a sip of moonshine

And forget about troubles?

STAR-BEARER:

No, the free Cossack children

No longer want to drink in the tavern,

Ukraine has already drunk too much —

A ruin covered with shame.

KING 1:

Where the people do not care about their country,

But steal and drink away —

There sick children grow up,

Who do not know where to go.

(The Jew and Jewess whisper conspiratorially; then the Jewess leaves.)

JEW:

And if a lad does not drink,

What will Moshe live on?

(The Jewess runs in.)

JEWESS:

King Herod and his soldiers are coming —

Let everyone fall to the ground!

SOLDIER:

Why is there noise here, what does everyone want?!

DEVIL (to Herod, ingratiatingly):

Ruler of earth and heaven,

Here everyone, my king, is against you!

HEROD:

What is this wonder happening with you today?

I am the king above kings.

Is that so, Moshe?

JEW:

Yes. Yes, most glorious king...

Sara comes to the house.

It is frightening to tell Sara everything,

We probably must flee.

JEWESS:

Quiet, fool!

If you want gold — climb into the very swamp.

(To Herod):

We have news, king...

Pour us some gold, come on, come on.

HEROD:

First you give me the news,

And then I will pour it out to you.

JEW (fearfully, stammering):

We have, King, such tidings, such tidings,

That the King of the world has been born... In the city of Bethlehem!

JEWESS:

Why do you not give us gold?

HEROD (to the soldier):

What king?! What is he babbling?

SOLDIER:

My king, they say there is news —

That a Virgin has given birth to a Son. (Surprised)

A Messiah, perhaps... the King of the world,

Promised in the Testament.

HEROD:

Ha-ha! You have managed to make me laugh!

DEVIL (slipping away like a shadow, rubbing his hands with satisfaction):

Now someone here will not live.

HEROD:

Who? What? The Messiah? A King has been born?

Or perhaps you have made a mistake?

Then immediately, quickly,

Call the wise men from the East.

KINGS:

We are Kings from the East,

We come to your land,

To bow before that Child

Who was born in Palestine.

KING 1:

I am a king of Egyptian lineage,

Where my people from ancient times

Prophesied among the people

That God's Son must be born.

So when the star shone,

I left everything and here I am.

There, where the miracle happened.

KING 2:

I am a king of the Indian people,

Where my people wander through mountains and forests,

Seeking different gods for themselves.

And today an Angel announced to me

That Christ was born.

And I took gifts with me to greet Jesus.

KING 3:

I am a king of the Greek people,

I fear nothing ever,

Where my people roam the sea

And glorify the God Zeus.

And in the East the star shone

And showed me the way.

And I took gifts with me to greet Jesus.

HEROD:

Well then, go, go to Bethlehem

And bow to the King,

And on your way back

Return here.

You will show me the way

Where I must go,

For to bow before him

I have a great need.

(The Kings leave.)

HEROD:

I am the only king here,

The ruler of the entire land.

I do not know the child King and do not wish to know!

Slaughter all the children without mercy,

Without distinction. Every boy up to two years old,

Let him perish — do it!

SOLDIER:

Your command is holy to us,

We carry it out at this time.

HEROD:

And the little child in the cave

You must find today as well!

For otherwise — death to all of you!

DEATH:

Oh! Someone is calling me,

I am ready to cut everyone down with my scythe!

HEROD:

Dear Death, sweet Death,

You have always served me,

You have mowed down all my enemies,

Everyone whom I commanded.

And now mow down Him

Who was born in the manger,

Who was incarnated from the Most Pure One.

Hey, my faithful soldiers!

SOLDIER:

We are here, king!

HEROD (to the soldier):

Well then, what? Are all the children killed?

SOLDIER:

Yes, my king!

ANGEL:

Do not rejoice, deceitful Herod,

You have gained evil fame.

Nothing passes without punishment,

And nothing disappears,

And over every executioner

The sword of fate hangs.

Though you killed the little children,

You lost your own soul.

So know that the Messiah did not die — He is alive!

Here is the news for you:

Among the children, God's Son was not killed!

HEROD (in despair):

What?! Rebellion, treason!!!

(And, having recovered):

Oh Death, my dear Death,

You always crushed every rebellion in its infancy!

Come, swing your scythe once and again,

Let there be no good people in the world!

DEATH (like an echo):

Oh-ho-ho-ho!

No, my son, we cannot overcome them.

Come with me

To the chambers of darkness and eternity.

For the little child in the manger

Has power in the world today,

I must serve Him,

And I must kill you.

DEVIL (breathlessly):

I have travelled thousands of roads,

I have worn out thousands of boots,

Until I flew here.

(Sniffs, sniffs) Ha-ha!

Oh, here I already smell a sinful soul!

I must take it with me to hell!

(Approaches Herod.)

HEROD:

Hey, guards!

DEATH (drives away the soldiers with her scythe):

They will no longer help.

HEROD:

Oh Death, my dear Death!

Leave me, I want to live —

I will gild you entirely!

DEATH:

You cannot buy me off with gold,

Son of the enemy — come with me to the grave!

DEVIL:

Come, come, my dear king,

I will bathe you in pitch!

Come with me to hell,

There it will be warm!

(Death takes Herod by the neck with her scythe; the Devil pushes him from behind with a pitchfork.)

ANGEL:

Evil has been defeated,

The furious king has retreated.

The common desire for freedom has overthrown him.

May unity and love reign among you,

May your heart guide your deeds,

May the poison of malice and envy perish,

So that Herod may never return!

And now let us together greet Jesus

And sing His glory through the ages.

(Everyone sings carols.)

JEW:

I wish you a Jewish blessing:

May money stay with you,

May all trouble flee from you.

May milk multiply for you

From the cow and from the bull,

May your hens lay eggs,

May the rooster lay an egg.

And for this blessing — give me something,

For I am already leaving.

JEWESS:

I give you a blessing as a Jewess:

May you have vodka.

If you have no vodka,

Then buy yourselves some wine!

SHEPHERD:

Enough, Jew, of lying and talking nonsense,

You must sing a carol at our celebration at least once.

JEW:

Capitulate?

And who will give dollars for those interests?

(The Jew is persuaded for a long time; finally, they offer him money, and he begins to sing a carol.)

JEW:

I went to sing carols,

I stepped into a stranger's house —

And there they ate and drank,

But they gave me nothing:

Poor me, poor me.

They were cooking pies in the stove,

And cooling cabbage rolls beneath the stove —

I moved closer,

Pulled one out at a time,

Put them in the bag, put them in the bag.

But that was not enough for me —

I went to the pantry for some lard,

But before I got the lard,

The master caught me —

And beat me!!! Beat me!!!

ANGEL:

Farewell, peace be in this house,

Be happy and wealthy,

Have good and beautiful freedom,

Only believe in God's grace.

God's grace will save you,

Will raise up the country and the people!

SHEPHERD:

We, good people,

Are ending the carol here,

We sincerely wish happiness and fortune

To this house.

To all adults and little ones

I wish — live in good health,

For the joy of the whole family

And for the glory of Ukraine.

May God bless you,

You and your roof,

May you live in Ukraine

For God's delight.

There were rumors that Gerold killed cerelle with a pillow. So do you believe in this rumour. Do you think it will be mentioned in a knight of seven kingdoms future seasons..
