Why didn't the characters use their teleporting powers in earlier season of Game of Thrones? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 27/06/2016 02:47:41 PM

Why didn't they just wish to win all their battles and intrigues hard enough, the way they appear to have accomplished everything that took place this season?

It takes an old man and a couple of kids like five minutes to set up explosives to destroy one of the largest buildings in the city, and absolutely none at all of the dozens or even hundreds of people working and living there bothered to look in their own basement.

Arya, last seen with severe abdominal wounds on the other side of the ocean, has, completely without the resources of the murder cult she forsook on bad terms, crossed the sea in winter, infiltrated a castle, murdered two of its more prominent inhabitants and borrowed the kitchens to prepare a human pie, without anyone having the slightest clue what she was up to, and all conveniently vacating the central place in the castle to leave their lord, master & father uncharacteristically alone for her to murder him. Because reasons.

And now are we supposed to be rooting for the Dornish? Are we supposed to forget that they murdered an innocent girl just to piss off her mother, because their lazy, self-indulgent douchebag of a boyfriend/father decided to pick a fight out of his weight class? How does the banishment of Melisandre and righteous indignation of Davos, along with all the anti-slavery stuff in Dany's storyline, jibe with suffering the Dornish murderers for political expedience?

Except, of course, in the current politically correct fashions, any act of violence is perfectly acceptable, and even to be applauded if it is a woman doing it (so long as she is not hurting another woman in service to any man's interests, whatsoever, even if that man happens to have right and justice on his side), so who cares about consistency!

Has any TV show received so much critical acclaim while being so driven by nothing more than wish fulfillment and cheap thrills? Jon Snow is now the king...why? What did he do, aside from ineptly try to retake his family's house, and get bailed out by foreigners at the last moment, who came at the behest of a man Jon's sister has been snubbing and dismissing since? For that matter, unless his death and resurrection have become public knowledge, does anyone care that he's apparently a deserter from the Night's Watch?

I imagine that anyone who brought such a question up would probably be gruesomely murdered by a random person with absolutely no motive to do so.
