Nihilist: It wasn't though. Most fans think the Lannisters are a savage/brutish lot, and the Starks the opposite. But in a war there isn't one side that is wholly good or bad. An earlier episode shows Brienne and Jaime coming across three women hanged by Stark soldiers. Another one shows Arya begging for food from Lannister soldiers and being turned down. This one shows us Lannister soldiers who actually don't care who wins or loses, who just want to return home to their families. At first Arya is reluctant to eat their meat and meed, but after hearing them out she partakes of their guest right, it shows she's not so lost afterall. It reminds me of Septon Meribald's speech about broken men who are off fighting someone else's war; which i will be posting shortly. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Gbola5: Nope it was only there to cameo Ed Sheeran. There's no other hidden meaning to the scene. It really wasn't that deep. |

Nihilist: I admit Ed Sheeran distracted me from the scene. But you really didn't get anything else from the scene ? |
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by djlaqua91(m): 7:10pm On Jul 18, 2017 |
Nihilist: It was very deep. Ed Sheeran wasn't needed in that scene. It shows that Arya still has some empathy and is human. Not a total killing freak. It humanized the lannister soldiers for once in the show, not all are a rapists, evil-minded like them Cersei, mountain etc. Also, that Wars are started by the elite & fought by the young and common folk. The boys follow orders and fight wars regardless of they have any beef with the enemy or not. Typically, a soldiers perspective and life. 6 Likes |

Back on the road, the septon said,
“We would do well to keep a watch
tonight, my friends. The villagers say
they’ve seen three broken men
skulking round the dunes, west of the
old watchtower.”
“Only three?” Ser Hyle smiled. “Three
is honey to our swordswench. They’re
not like to trouble armed men.”
“Unless they’re starving,” the septon
said. “There is food in these marshes,
but only for those with the eyes to
find it, and these men are strangers
here, survivors from some battle. If
they should accost us, ser, I beg you,
leave them to me.”
“What will you do with them?”
“Feed them. Ask them to confess their
sins, so that I might forgive them.
Invite them to come with us to the
Quiet Isle.”
“That’s as good as inviting them to
slit our throats as we sleep,” Hyle
Hunt replied. “Lord Randyll has better
ways to deal with broken men—steel
and hempen rope.”
“Ser? My lady?” said Podrick. “Is a
broken man an outlaw?”
“More or less,” Brienne answered.
Septon Meribald disagreed. “More
less than more. There are many sorts
of outlaws, just as there are many
sorts of birds. A sandpiper and a sea
eagle both have wings, but they are
not the same. The singers love to
sing of good men forced to go outside
the law to fight some wicked lord, but
most outlaws are more like this
ravening Hound than they are the
lightning lord. They are evil men,
driven by greed, soured by malice,
despising the gods and caring only
for themselves. Broken men are more
deserving of our pity, though they
may be just as dangerous. Almost all
are common-born, simple folk who
had never been more than a mile
from the house where they were born
until the day some lord came round
to take them off to war. Poorly shod
and poorly clad, they march away
beneath his banners, ofttimes with no
better arms than a sickle or a
sharpened hoe, or a maul they made
themselves by lashing a stone to a
stick with strips of hide. Brothers
march with brothers, sons with
fathers, friends with friends. They’ve
heard the songs and stories, so they
go off with eager hearts, dreaming of
the wonders they will see, of the
wealth and glory they will win. War
seems a fine adventure, the greatest
most of them will ever know.
“Then they get a taste of battle.
“For some, that one taste is enough
to break them. Others go on for years,
until they lose count of all the battles
they have fought in, but even a man
who has survived a hundred fights
can break in his hundred-and-first.
Brothers watch their brothers die,
fathers lose their sons, friends see
their friends trying to hold their
entrails in after they’ve been gutted
by an axe.
“They see the lord who led them there
cut down, and some other lord shouts
that they are his now. They take a
wound, and when that’s still half-
healed they take another. There is
never enough to eat, their shoes fall
to pieces from the marching, their
clothes are torn and rotting, and half
of them are shitting in their breeches
from drinking bad water.
“If they want new boots or a warmer
cloak or maybe a rusted iron
halfhelm, they need to take them from
a corpse, and before long they are
stealing from the living too, from the
smallfolk whose lands they’re fighting
in, men very like the men they used to
be. They slaughter their sheep and
steal their chickens, and from there
it’s just a short step to carrying off
their daughters too. And one day they
look around and realize all their
friends and kin are gone, that they
are fighting beside strangers beneath
a banner that they hardly recognize.
They don’t know where they are or
how to get back home and the lord
they’re fighting for does not know
their names, yet here he comes,
shouting for them to form up, to make
a line with their spears and scythes
and sharpened hoes, to stand their
ground. And the knights come down
on them, faceless men clad all in
steel, and the iron thunder of their
charge seems to fill the world…
“And the man breaks.
“He turns and runs, or crawls off
afterward over the corpses of the
slain, or steals away in the black of
night, and he finds someplace to hide.
All thought of home is gone by then,
and kings and lords and gods mean
less to him than a haunch of spoiled
meat that will let him live another
day, or a skin of bad wine that might
drown his fear for a few hours. The
broken man lives from day to day,
from meal to meal, more beast than
man. Lady Brienne is not wrong. In
times like these, the traveler must
beware of broken men, and fear
them…but he should pity them as
well.”
When Meribald was finished a
profound silence fell upon their little
band. Brienne could hear the wind
rustling through a clump of
pussywillows, and farther off the faint
cry of a loon. She could hear Dog
panting softly as he loped along
beside the septon and his donkey,
tongue lolling from his mouth. The
quiet stretched and stretched, until
finally she said, “How old were you
when they marched you off to war?”
“Why, no older than your boy,”
Meribald replied. “Too young for such,
in truth, but my brothers were all
going, and I would not be left behind.
Willam said I could be his squire,
though Will was no knight, only a
potboy armed with a kitchen knife
he’d stolen from the inn. He died
upon the Stepstones, and never struck
a blow. It was fever did for him, and
for my brother Robin. Owen died from
a mace that split his head apart, and
his friend Jon Pox was hanged for
rape.”
“The War of the Ninepenny Kings?”
asked Hyle Hunt.
“So they called it, though I never saw
a king, nor earned a penny. It was a
war, though. That it was.” 1 Like |

Coyotejack:Been following ur chat wit TheKingIsHere.. n I must say.. ur points jst weak me.. now I can't take it it again... Bruh.. SANSA is USELESS.. U call waiting everyday locked in a castle only to b raped repeatedly at nyt by her captor Ramsay , doing sth?.. At least 4 nw... I am loving Wat she mayb shaping to b.. Bt ATM she's a FOOL.. And Abt saving the north dts nt rily a smart way if thinking... remember she didn't ask Little finger 4 aid in d beginning?.. he had to offer the knights of d vale to Her on a platter... she stupidly rejected dem... Later wen she discovered her childish logic abt the northern houses flocking bak in their thousands to lick d Stark boots.. she readjusted her brain n called Baelish she initially refused.. So if anyone saved the North and house Stark.. it's LITTLE FINGER.. and I av to say.. I detest d way dey r treating him...

TheKingIsHere:Yes she was useless, what she isn't is brainless, she has survived the statecraft of the craftiest by luck and yes, such craftiness eventually rubs of on even the stupid! So yes she is manipulating baelish, funny right? You don't manipulate baelish by appearing to be smart i.e a genuine contending player in the game of thrones like varys and cersei, you do it by appearing to be exactly what he assessed you to be without your actions detracting from your goal, in sansas case, an overly emotional character with a sense of entitlement who acts on impulse i.e supporting jons kingship on impulse and opposing clemency to houses karstark and umber on the impulse of self righteous anger over the betrayal. If you think it isn't working ask yourself why the army of the vale and baelish are still at winterfell 3 Likes |

TheKingIsHere:Honesty you're confused! What was baelish's gain in restoring winterfell to the starks? If you can answer this question then you'll understand why the credit of Jon's victory at the bastard bowl belongs to sansa and not little finger! And you must remember that sansa had previously turned down baelish's offer of the vale knights when he came to see sansa at mole town when sansa was still at the wall. And also remember why varys said a mans most valuable possessions are not his gold but the contents of his letters and getting access to that brought him to his position! I have given you a simple puzzle, if you can solve it, then you'll understand what the rest of us who disliked the old sansa as much as you did/do, like the new sansa 2 Likes |

Wen she defended n lied for Littlefinger against d judges at d Vale after he killed her Aunt Lysa ... Bt frm dere she went downhill.. Nothing of note... Except 4 d part whr she told Miranda she'll Neva scare her cos dis is her father's castle ... Bt there was No use of her lushful beauty to subdue n ensnare Ramsay.. she basically lived as a prisoner in her father's castle at WINTERFELL.. until wen Theon Greyjoy saved her n asked dem to escape.. so Pulissss... she has note put to good use all she had learned at Kings landing and beyond ..

Gbola5:in the show, Jon is also a warg, on his foray with qhorhin half hand he spied the camp of mance rayder through the eyes of ghost while asleep in season 2, arya is too i think, though that is yet to be revealed!
