@TheLethalCarrot ugh. With that dialog, my my, that character must be edgy.

@Kepotx but if she spreads them round Westeros without being there herself...

Kepotx

you hire golden company for sieges and battles, not logistics and land control

of course, without any fAegon, golden company can turn in side of dany

but if they move with euron's fleet and alongside regular Lannister army, they don't have lot of independence to do whatever they want

Mithrandir24601

@Kepotx and it would be very easy for them to turn in a battle. Question is: Will they?

Kepotx

depending on how they are used, this could be a disaster for the Lannister army.

I don't remember how much background is revealed from the Golden Company in the show

TheLethalCarrot

Not much at all

Kepotx

It could be seen as too much Deus Ex Machina if they switch side

TheLethalCarrot

8:08 AM

Which really leaves it all open for D&D to use them how they want

Kepotx

I mean, if the lambda viewor don't know the blackfyre origin of golden company, the reason why golden company help targaryen could seem odd

TheLethalCarrot

Well if they switch sides they will almost certainly explain it

Though I could imagine they might use Varys for that with all his hands in the background stuff from earlier on in the show

Kepotx

8:30 AM

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but in the show, jorah is supposed to be a former member of golden company

TheLethalCarrot

Hmm that rings a bell

DAENERYS: Didn't you fight for the Golden Company before pledging your sword to my brother?

JORAH: I did.

Apparently he did yes

Kepotx

they could also switch side to the other Aegon VI

TheLethalCarrot

TBH I'd be surprised if they didn't do a GC switcheroo but it is D&D after all

@Kepotx would that really stop D&D?

Kepotx

no, but just few lines of dialog could have done the job

subtle Tchekov's gun instead of random thing coming out of nowhere for the sake of plot

JAD

@Kepotx well yeah, but that would require vision :P

Kepotx

11:49 AM

it's not like D&D didn't read the book at all

they know the books, now the end, and have probably a broad idea of how will they fill the gap between both

golden company have been mentionned several times before season 8, so if they planned to give importance to golden company, they should have build more background

but yes, maybe in previous seasons they weren't sure of how to portray golden company, if they will break contract to join Targaryen or if they would play a role at all

Q: How much of the faces power is magic, and how much is it the skill of the wearer?

In the TV Series we see Arya wear various faces, initially the faces seem to be similar to her, young females that she could easily take on the mannerisms and possibly learn to put a voice on for. The faces she wears here we have never seen before and so can't compare the voice or mannerisms to t...
