are you ever happy?

I am always happy!

If you are familiar with GRRM's notes in Sterling.... there will only be one...

Where can I find a link to a site that dissects every frame of the trailer for plot direction?

Actually 5 main characters lived until the end in those notes. But I'm not gonna spoil who.....

And anyway plenty of things have changed since his original synopses/treatise back in the mid 90s.

Lastly....the TV show while it has hit most of the milestone big moments of the books (so far) could very well go it's own way in the end.

Besides King's Landing forces, Goldcloaks etc, I do not think Cersei has much to work with... The garrison outside House Tully (to get Blackfish) is all that I remember.

Bolton army was vanquished at BoB.
House Frey?
Minor houses?
Who is at Harrenhal?

I wonder where the three dragons slept during their journey to Westeros. Would they fly ahead and sleep on islands while the boats caught up? Maybe they traveled near the south coast of Essos at all times.

---

Where ever they wanted to?

Sorry.

What forces does Cersei have that she can throw down this smack?

---

The 2nd largest army in westeros.

I'm not so sure about that.

Dany clearly has the largest, but I think Jon's Northern/Wildling Army combined with a hardly depleted Vale force, probably contains more troops than Cersei.

I am rooting for Stark & White Walkers.

Speaking of this!!!

I said that to my wife the other day and we started a conversation about "Highlander" then I figured out she had no freaking idea what I was talking about.

It was a "you had to be there" kinda thing I guess now, but I was like WHAT?! you have seen Highlander and know who Duncan MacLeod is, then she told me she thought it was a book series... for young adults. for a second I thought my wife had a secret nerdy sci-fi vibe.

The Night King is a Stark or was rather...

In the books, may not be in the show.

Good point.

(I will spoiler tag my post)

There's a good chance he was in the show as well - didn't Bran see the sacrifice that created the Night's King happen at the tree at Winterfell?

Well that did NOT turn out like I wanted.

Yes but no clarity on who was being turned.

Did the same.

According to Wiki - and these numbers are based on canon or semi-canon sources:

The Reach - 80K-100K and a large fleet
Dany - 80K-100K most likely and a huge fleet currently
Westerlands - 50K plus a decent sized fleet
Dorne - 50K
The North - 45K but hard to assemble them all
The Riverlands - 45K
The Vale - 40-45K and a decent sized fleet
Stormlands - 20-30K
Iron Islands - 20K
Crownlands - 10-15K plus the royal fleet (unknown size being rebuilt)
Dragonstone - 1K

So yeah if you take the Westerlands and the Crownlands then yes the Lannisters are 3rd biggest and Dorne is 4th.

But if the Vale and the North are together at full strength they might be the largest or at least comparable to the Reach and Dany's. But is the North really all together anyway they are pretty fractured currently.

Don't forget that the North just lost a big number in the Bolton Civil War.

...and damage to Wildlings at Hearthome...

I thought the Reach was the most populated of the 7 kingdoms. Only 20K army?

She has very little to work with. Lannisters and the their bannermen have taken huge losses from years of war. Highgarden was providing the muscle and they are now allied with Dorne/Dany. Tarly will (my opinion) remain loyal to HIghgarden. The Frey's will be in complete disarray with Walder dead.

In fact, it's playing out like such an epic ass kicking on the way that I could see crazy Cercei take a page out of the Mad King's playbook and set the whole city up to burn with wildfire. Thus history repeats, Jamie has to kill Cercei and saves Kings Landing again, this time by killing his sister.

well yes....maybe.

I reread that one and the 30K was from Aegon's conquest.

Renly claimed 100K, others think it wa maybe 80K ish with another 10K at Highgarden under the Tyrells..

Either way it does look like 80-100K

I'll fix it.

is this the last season? i haven't even finished book 6 yet...
