same. Oleana's death was great, as was Cersei with Alleria. I like that Danys fleet has been totally destroyed, and in two episodes they've done a wonderful job of really establishing Cersei as the threat I did not anticipate her being at the start of the season

it was.


I like that Jon continues to be the only adult in the room, with no sense of how to build off of what is true into what needs to be done. And they did a nice job in the first Dany/Jon meeting of effectively legitimating each perspective, something the PoV chapters in the books were always good at.

I think I'd be less annoyed with Jorah if he was ugly. Being so damn handsome, it just doesn't make any sense for him to be so hung up on Dany. If he was ugly, I'd be like "yeah, of course he is".

I like the actor guy a lot. I love him. I'm in love with him.

I never understood why Dany didn't jump his bones. As Burt says, he's a fine looking man.

Also keep in mind the Lannister army is supplemented by the Tarly army. That's one reason why Jamie wanted the Tarly's to join forces. The Lannister's needed bodies.

Except Jon vs Jorah would be a fair duel.

I would enjoy this fight. Jon is basically a living legend in Westeros and the best living swordsman. Jorah is a old, crafty fighter. It would be a interesting match up.

In addition, the Lannister army hasn't had to fight for several years by this point. Tywin's host was the largest and it won a purposely one-sided battled against Bolton and Co. in season one, ambushed Stannis' troops at the Blackwater with the Tyrells, and hasn't really fought since.

Who is better?

This is based purely on the tv show's version of GoT.

Nah bro. Brienne has little battle experience. Elite one on one skills, but hasn't seen or survived near as much shit as Jon.

I think that's at least a push. It's close.

Considering everything Jon has accomplished I would give him the edge.
