A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

There were probably people with terminal illnesses holding on so they could catch the finale of their most-beloved TV show, Game of Thrones, and who died horribly disappointed. (self.showerthoughts)

The marriage to Drogo was an arranged marriage, to help Viserys get the crown.

There's a difference between who traditionally were her enemies and Ramsay's enemies... And it's medieval times. Again, she really only had it out for oppressors. She went through many areas w/o slaughtering everyone.

The whole mad queen, which might be foreshadowed in the books, was not in the show. The Mad King, the thing everyone pointed too, was caused by Bran. The "Mad King" was just fine. Just like Hodor was just fine until Bran came along. But because he never is like "oh hey guys, yeah, turns out the mad king saying "burn them all" was actually my fault" so the myth/legend around it always going to happen due to "reason", at least in the show, falls apart. From my understanding, the books do foreshadow more of Daenerys's madness and its possible edits from D&D end up casting her in a very different light. Which just echo's how shit D&D were/are.

Alright, you're just wanting to be stubborn. You literally didn't say when and where, just vaguely "the show". I was sincere of you knew when and where I'd watch it again, but you couldn't cite anything specific.
