Amph Game Of Thrones (uh i guess it's done now? Edit: No!)

I forget where I read it but specifically in GoT there are folks who's job it is to do exactly this with I assume large populations of ravens, taking them from place to place and training them to fly back and forth as needed.

 

Finally, question answered.

 

Seven seasons of Brann controlling ravens, the new generation of messenger raven training.

 

I think Disney did that show a while back. That's So Raven. Maybe this one can be called That's So Three-Eyed Raven.

 

...winter is here.

 

They could probably dodge them, and they might have a limited supply. Plus I think he was waiting for the dragons. There's no point of Daenerys sticking around to rescue them if they're all dead. The Night King must know about them somehow.

 

Lol. Go on.

 

Man, if Sansa only allowed Arya to kill Joffrey along the river, Ned might still be alive.

 

In a show that includes:
- Dragons
- Zombies
- Humanoid ice monsters
- Fairy elf children
- An old dude who sat around in his cave for thousands of years and let a tree grow around and consume him like he was a piece of barbed wire
- A woman who cannot be harmed by fire
- Multiple resurrections of characters brutally killed off
- Psychic time travel
- The ability to transfer ones consciousness into other people and/or animals


And you're questioning how the ravens are used as homing pigeons, something that has been done here in the real world up until the 20th century, and continues to be done as a niche business by small groups of dedicated hobbyists?

Even more pointedly, why did Ice Darth Maul hold up his entire army for three random guys? They have thousands of warriors. If they have simply kept marching, they would have enveloped Jon Snow in the middle of his forces while continuing to make progress towards the wall. This whole tactic made literally no sense.

 

Punk on the ropes, with his pants down. Jabs words so perverse they'd make a catholic priest blush.

How I miss the first few seasons.

 

Ravens in ASOIAF are not like ravens in the real world who don't have the homing instincts of pigeons. Legend has it that they are relics of the the Children of the Forest and at one point in the past they relayed messages verbally. That is, they are magic

It's okay to question these things, though it's obvious Punk wasn't being serious. Good stories have well-constructed, consistent explanations.

 

Lead the way then. What should we discuss? The Kardashians?

Which 3 guys?

Only if you assume that the WW's goal is simply to get to the Wall asap. I don't make that assumption. They seem in no great hurry. In this episode we saw a WW on his own with a group of wights. To me that implies that they're still going out & gathering more & more soldiers. That location at that mountain is likely a gathering point. That same arrow-head shaped mountain was shown back in the scene where the Night King was created by the Children. So it's likely a significant site.
What you often do is make an assumption, take it as fact & then see problems when the show isn't consistent with that false assumption.

 

Why did Ice Darth Maul bother to attack Jon Snow and whatever other idiots were with him in the first place? Did it particularly matter that he was alive at all? Why did they surround them and camp out for what was at least several hours waiting to fight? Why not just ignore them?

 

It's almost as if the NK may see Jon Snow as significant. The guy he witnessed first hand killing White Walkers & who leads the forces against him & who is secretly a Targaryan & who is possibly his ancient arch-nemesis reborn.

 

The whole thing was a trap so they could nab a dragon. That's why the NK and his horde waited for so long.

 

I also like to mentally dub in the Holy Handgrenade dialogue from Monty Python and the Holy Grail when they pull out the spear and give it to the NK. Something about the officious, ceremonial way they do it.

 

If the Wall comes down and I don't get Chris Jericho inspired memes then I'm kicking off.
