It did kind of add a surreal, fourth-wall breaking quality to it. The actor looks like he's done much less preparation for the role than when he first got it, like they wrote him into the script at the last minute.
The line by Davos "I thought you were still rowing" was too on the nose as well, because it explicitly referenced the meme. He should have said something that made more sense in-universe like "I always wondered if you ever made it out of that boat!"

Stannis

George planned it all along, he will become best friends with Jon and fight alongside him in the war to come, it's a parallel between Ned and Robert's relationship. There will be tumblr memes of these two for years to come.

jon didnt even known he existed. Why would davos risk smugglin mission, left boat unattended and go to speak to some random character form few sesons ago? he probably knew like a lot of people in kings landing. Why he aproched him? there as no logical reason for that. Also how come this unexpirence kid is now badd ass killer that will kill wights? I bet in next episode he will fight just like the rest well trained knights and fighters even if he is just random noob that never fought before

thats why this show is retarded. In medieval times everyone especially noble houses had like 15 child to make sure they have hier. Also they had like milion cousins. Even now people have at least few cousins or relatives. In show they kill 5 people - bam house that lasted for 10k years (another retarded thing) is dead now

He was always going to come back. It is obvious he is going be the one to forge the new Valerian Steel weapons using the dragon glass and dragon fire. Once you get Sam, Kelly C, Jon, Gendry and Ringo all together it won't be long before they are making it. It's the solution that Sam was looking for in Oldtown. The recipe might be in one of the scrolls he took. Gendry's mentor reforged ice for fucks sake. Also He is going to be warden of the south when it is all said and done.

>>86369959
IIRC the only cadet branches ever mentioned are Baratheon (cadet branch of the Targs) and Karstark (cadet branch of the Starks). Even then cadet branches were generally only formed when one house eclipsed another. So Eddard's second cousins would still be Starks unless they became lords of the Riverlands or Vale or something in which case they might be known as Riverstarks or Valestarks or whatever.

Beyond that cadet branches were still treated as legal successors unless it would mess with a balance of power, so unless the next in line to the Reach was already lord of Dorne or something he would still be the legal heir.

Not so retarded. Many of Rome's best emperors were forced to adopt adult heirs since people just randomly died all the time.

They need a rightful king on the throne

>>86371771
Once he learns he's the rightful heir he will want it because DUTY. He's basically a softer Stannis. Stannis didn't want the throne either, he just saw it as his responsability.

>>86369577
Yeah it's one of the things that makes almost no sense. There should be a ton of Baratheons/Baratheon cousins with a more legitimate claim to the throne than Cersei, so it doesn't make much sense that the Stormlands would support her.

A queen through marriage does not have a royal claim. Cersei does technically have a claim to the throne through her heritage, but this is excluding all of the Baratheons, Jaime, and Tyrion who have a more legitimate claim than her.

>>86375823
That is HARDLY the same thing. Gendry chose to risk his life of his own free will, he didn't chose to be slaughtered like a sheep by Mel. Who is Davos to decide he shouldn't be allowed to risk his life if it's what the kid wants?

Incorrect. Most medieval wars were succesion wars, when someone dies without sons or daughter which wasnt so uncommon, the other cousins and uncles etc everyone here are mentioning were from other kingdoms and it generated wars. Houses were feeble, most lasted about 3 generations.

Its the natural course of things, this war was just more brutal than all the others, consider it a mass extinction event. The 10k years is just bad writting, GoT's sucess comes from being quite serious and consistent for a fantasy but it still fell for the huge time periods without change in technology and 1000 years old reichs, blame fatty.

>>86376714
Davos and Jon are DESPERATE for men and allies. Why wouldn't Davos check if Gendry wants to join? Not to mention, the guy is a smith, that's a pretty valuable resource for any war effort. In medieval times, captured smiths were chained to their forges and guarded 24/7 to avoid escape or suicide. As for why he would want to join, he said himself he had nothing keeping him in KL, he was just waiting for an opportunity like this.

>>86377042
>Why wouldn't Davos check if Gendry wants to join
he probably know a lot of peple in kings landing like knight, fighters, worriors and he didnt check with them. what so special about him?

they take him beyond the wall to fight not to make some swords

He hasn't been there in 20 years. He's been in Dragonstone, serving Stannis. Who can he trust not to betray him after all that time?

Nope, that's Gendry's choice. Davos didn't know they were going beyond the Wall when he came to him.

>how convinient that he is willng to risk his life for people he dont know

People he doesn't know? Davos saved his life at the risk of his own. I'd say that would be enough to establish at least some sort of trust towards him.

>>86378067
>Davos didn't know they were going beyond the Wall

Bad phrasing, I meant him and Davos. My point was he didn't come to Gendry specifically to recruit him on the Mission.
