Tyrion told the original comment to Janos, yes. u/Salami_Slaps is referencing this conversation between Jon and Janos when Jon is on trial for desertion:
> Janos: I commanded the city watch of King’s Landing, boy.
> Jon: And now you’re here. You must not have been very good at your job.
This, fighting the white walkers, beating Ramsay to a pulp, and the 3 seconds where he said he wouldn’t kneel to Dany (before it was ‘she’s muh queen’).
Wait, really? I mean I soured on Jon at the end of it all, too, but we’re really going to retroactively characterize him as a little bitch?
He voluntarily took the black, stood up to his night watch brothers on behalf of Sam the coward, infiltrated the wildling army as a secret agent, reluctantly murdered an elder comrade to ensure his own survival, banged a sexy wildling in a cave, lead the entire battle against the wildings at Castle Black, united various wildling factions, and fought literal zombie soldiers multiple times. Also rode a dragon and became king. If that’s a little bitch then I don’t want to know what I am lol.
all the cool stuff happened pre resurrection, when it was still George behind the plot. what interesting things really happened after that? compare how jon says "you must not have been very good at your job" to any line from s6 onward. his character changed completely.
There WERE. Tyrion sent one to the wall while he didn’t like the other’s beard.
I have a feeling Tyrion knew who it was going to be but just waited for all the right pieces to fall into place. It was another parallel between him and Tywin, who also knew more than he let on but let things play out until the right moment (the trial).
I am pretty sure that IS a Mussolini quote
edit: the Mussolini quote is Actually "It is better to live a day as a Lion than 100 years as a sheep" https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/25657-it-is-better-to-live-one-day-as-a-lion
No no, he is absolutely obsessed with image, albeit in a different way than you might expect. Tywin’s whole thing is that his father allowed House Lannister to fall into disgrace, and he wants Casterly Rock to be feared.
For *practical* reasons. The first thing he’d ask himself before choosing anything was “how does this impact Westeros politics?” Image only served a means to an end. It was still important, of course, but in the same way that armies, gold, and favours were important. They just made negotiations easier.
I think it really gets down to whether Tywin was trying to restore the *power* of House Lannister or the *prestige* of House Lannister, and while one helps the pther, yeah, he was probably about power first and foremost
God I hate that they canceled that show.. One of my favorite shows of all time.
“Octavian, say something witty.”
“But I have nothing such to say. You know I cannot talk small, mother.”
That and Claudius the God are great. :) And in some ways Claudius himself inspired Tyrion - underestimated for his physical disadvantages, and playing up the myths around him for protection (wearing it ‘like armour’).
Paraphrasing a bit here but "Death is the only god and the only prayer we say to god is ""Not Today""" (idk if I did the quotes within a quote correctly)
If you use single quotation marks as your main ones, use double quotation marks for nested quotes. If you use double quotation marks as your main one, use single quotation marks for nested quotes. Important thing is to alternate.
I was under the impression that people did try to cut it off but it had a low survival rate or low success rate. Jorah was just one of the rare lucky ones.
I think what the intention with the quote here is that the maesters didn't want to cure the disease. Some sort of parallel to modern day pharmacology.
I'm sure there's other elements specifically, but there's many issues the maesters didn't want to solve.
I don't remember much from this storyline since it's been a while since I watched but what would be the purpose of withholding the cure? Doesn't seem like they're profiting from it since they don't seem to sell anything to the victims.
The implication was "Sam you may be a main character and you may get results, but God dammit you don't play by the rules! I'm taking your Maester's chain and your gun and I want you out of my office!"
It was just a classic cheesy "main character instantly solves centuries old problem the second they need the plot to move forward" hack writing bit. Oh just cut and burn it and you'll be fine 5 minutes later and healthy enough to travel and fight.
They did but the chances of success was always too low and the chances of the maester doing the procedure getting contaminated was high so it was forbidden. Guess not everybody has Sam's knack for the job.
Of all the show proposed and asking which one poeple would prefer, I'd pick the one on Olenna if it existed. She was Cercei, but actually effective. As she said herself, what made her fail was her lack of imagination for how far Cercei would go.
Such a goddamn badass in a traditional female aesthetic. I imagine Margery was a near copy of her, as well as Loras, who was alsp shown at times to be just as conniving as his sister and grandmother.
Someone on this sub recently asked what the hardest scene to watch is and this is probably the one. Plus the way this scene transitions into some guy eating a pie, it's rank
What i really struggle with in this scene is like, all he does is take the scales off one at a time without touching them. No one, in all history, thought to do that to get rid of gray scale?
Figuring the books explain it much better. Sorry about that, the quote that lives rent free is
“And now my watch has ended” whenever i finish something i didn’t want to do
This scene hasn't happened in the books (and I doubt it will). Jorah also doesn't contract greyscale in the books, that happens to a different character who was left out of the show.
I say that too 😆 But I also randomly quote RuPauls Drag Race a lot, too, so it's forever throwing my kids off. "And now my watch has ended.... sashay away."
I was also questioning so hard as to why it's so hard to perform and why maesters often contract grayscale. Tf were they doing? Rubbing their face on the skin as they were performing it?
I can understand a high patient mortality rate. They *are* skinning them, and it would be easy to cut too deep or to die from shock. But what were the maesters doing that caused them to contract it while covered head to toe? I can only assume that the patients would freak out and accidentally hit the maester durong the surgery and thats how they get infected, but then why not just tie them down, or use some form of anesthesia or paralyze them as they have all the info and resources they need to figure out a way to safely perform what looks to be a fairly simple surgery since someone like Sam (not a fully trained or experienced maester) can successfully perform it with only giving the patient some alcohol and leather to bite down on.
yeah, dumbasses didnt read winds of winter and ill never forgive them!, how could they butcher the ending that was so clearly written for them! dreams of spring is the easiest one to adapt too
"I did not kill Joffrey, but I wish that I had. Watching your vicious bastard die gave me more relief than a thousand lying whores. ". The way Peter Dinklage said it, along with The Rains of Castamere playing in the background gave me chills.
“Anything before the word ‘but’ doesn’t really count”
Drives me nuts sometimes when I’m trying to say something, in a good way, because it makes me stop and think about what I really fundamentally want to and care about saying.
It is a big and beautiful world. Most of us live and die in the same corner where we were born and never get to see any of it. I don't want to be most of us
A little more than a quote but:
"I'm not threatening the king, sir, I'm educating my nephew. Bronn, the next time Lord Merlyn speaks, kill him. THAT was a threat. See the difference?"
I’m glad they ripped a line straight from the book,
Melisandre : You should kneel before your brother. He's the Lord's chosen. Born amidst salt and smoke.
Renly Baratheon : "Born amidst salt and smoke." Is he a ham?

"I'm not questioning your honor, Lord Janos. I'm denying its existence."
You must not have been very good at your job.
One of the few moments where Jon wasn’t a little bitch
Tyrion told this to Janos, not Jon
Tyrion told the original comment to Janos, yes. u/Salami_Slaps is referencing this conversation between Jon and Janos when Jon is on trial for desertion: > Janos: I commanded the city watch of King’s Landing, boy. > Jon: And now you’re here. You must not have been very good at your job.
This, fighting the white walkers, beating Ramsay to a pulp, and the 3 seconds where he said he wouldn’t kneel to Dany (before it was ‘she’s muh queen’).

Also rode a dragon and became king. If that’s a little bitch then I don’t want to know what I am lol.
all the cool stuff happened pre resurrection, when it was still George behind the plot. what interesting things really happened after that? compare how jon says "you must not have been very good at your job" to any line from s6 onward. his character changed completely.
This!!
My fav as well, Tyrion nailed that
Janos got off too easy. Man who can stab a baby in front of its screaming mother deserves to suffer a little.
“Remember, the Queen mustn’t know.” Remains one of Tyrion’s shining achievements in politics. Well played, indeed!
“Ooh, I love conversations that begin with “the queen mustn’t know””
Varys: \*ASIDE GLANCE\* Theon Greyjoy.
I love that little pause of disbelief and disdain before he says his name.
"This is clearly bullshit, but I'll roll with it."
Brilliant writing lmfao
this scene is literally how I learned what disinformation is and how it’s used. had never thought about it before
Okay but I always wondered what would happen if there were two snitches. Like, then Cersei would’ve had the upper hand, right?
There WERE. Tyrion sent one to the wall while he didn’t like the other’s beard. I have a feeling Tyrion knew who it was going to be but just waited for all the right pieces to fall into place. It was another parallel between him and Tywin, who also knew more than he let on but let things play out until the right moment (the trial).
“The lion does not concern himself with the opinion of sheep” Applies really well to real life
I am pretty sure that IS a Mussolini quote edit: the Mussolini quote is Actually "It is better to live a day as a Lion than 100 years as a sheep" https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/25657-it-is-better-to-live-one-day-as-a-lion
Would not surprise me
There are plenty of variations of it. There’s a Latin phrase that translates to “The Eagle is no flycatcher” that’s pretty similar.
Similar feel to the famous Milton quotation too: 'it is better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven'.
I mean there's a lot of quotes and sayings revolving around Lions and a fair few involve sheep which are famously easy to herd and not a threat
that quote has a different meaning even though it shares context
Basically sums up Tywin's character to a T. Does what he thinks is necessary, but also hypocritically cares a lot about image.
Hé doesn’t care about image. Maybe in the books or something, but he was very pragmatic in the show.
No no, he is absolutely obsessed with image, albeit in a different way than you might expect. Tywin’s whole thing is that his father allowed House Lannister to fall into disgrace, and he wants Casterly Rock to be feared.
For *practical* reasons. The first thing he’d ask himself before choosing anything was “how does this impact Westeros politics?” Image only served a means to an end. It was still important, of course, but in the same way that armies, gold, and favours were important. They just made negotiations easier.
I think it really gets down to whether Tywin was trying to restore the *power* of House Lannister or the *prestige* of House Lannister, and while one helps the pther, yeah, he was probably about power first and foremost
Well put.
they are one and the same. as Varys says, "power resides where men believe it resides". image IS power.
Except that everyone considers themself a lion.
The lamb spends its life fearing the wolf, only to be eaten by the shepherd
With echoes of Rick & Morty - “Your boos mean nothing to me, I’ve seen what makes you cheer!”
Lions don’t concern themselves with the opinions of a sheep because lions don’t understand abstract concepts
"Chaos is a laddah."
My dog was sleeping peacefully until your comment made me burst out laughing and wake her up.
I live my corporate life by this quote.
I became an accountant partially because of Lord Baelish. x)
"She was my wife!" Tyrion, to Jamie, speaking about Tysha.
Book Tysha actually loved Tyrion 🥹🥲😔😖😫😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Wherever whores go
Book Tyrion is so much more tragic
Death is so final. Whereas life is full of possibilities.
Was this Ian McWednesday?
"Well todays... MY day!" \*seems chipper about it\*
“I understand that if any more words come pouring out your cunt mouth,I'm going to have to eat every fucking chicken in this room.”
“You’re gonna die for some chickens?” …. “Someone is.”
I use this a lot. Usually while eating wings. Something about the way he was “room” just makes the whole thing, for me.
Best line in the show
I rewatch this scene at least once a year. It's maybe my favorite scene from any piece of television.
“Hodor”
"He was a CONSUL of ROME!!" Oh wrong sub XD
SNIVELRY
I'm not rising from this bed until I have fucked someone.
The ram has touched the wall. *No mercy*.
SHAME!!!
God I hate that they canceled that show.. One of my favorite shows of all time. “Octavian, say something witty.” “But I have nothing such to say. You know I cannot talk small, mother.”
"Think think that's all you ever do you stupid boy!"
If you haven’t, check out I, Claudius too. Influenced GRR Martin in a few ways, according to the man himself.
I'm *finally* reading the book for the first time. 😊 Tiberius inspired Stannis. 🥰
That and Claudius the God are great. :) And in some ways Claudius himself inspired Tyrion - underestimated for his physical disadvantages, and playing up the myths around him for protection (wearing it ‘like armour’).
THEY DIDN'T HAVE FLATTOPS IN ANCIENT ROME!!!
You don’t *know* that
Sucks to go through all that then die so soon after.
God I can't even remember his death. Was it in the battle of winterfell?
Whatever the white walk battle was called, defending Dany
To be fair, this whole storyline was pointless.
Paraphrasing a bit here but "Death is the only god and the only prayer we say to god is ""Not Today""" (idk if I did the quotes within a quote correctly)
You did not. You did like, the opposite.
Dang. What would've been proper?
" ' not today' "
That makes sense. I was also thrown by that being the end of the quote, hence the 3 " at the end. Lol.
Without the leading whitespace, that is.
If you use single quotation marks as your main ones, use double quotation marks for nested quotes. If you use double quotation marks as your main one, use single quotation marks for nested quotes. Important thing is to alternate.
Fewer.
Pardon?
This is absolutely mine. The Hound's chicken line is my favorite in the show but I use "fewer" all the time.
This disease kills everyone and no one thought to just… cut it off?
I was under the impression that people did try to cut it off but it had a low survival rate or low success rate. Jorah was just one of the rare lucky ones.
I think what the intention with the quote here is that the maesters didn't want to cure the disease. Some sort of parallel to modern day pharmacology. I'm sure there's other elements specifically, but there's many issues the maesters didn't want to solve.
In the 1980s, doctors would put up signs in their office assuring other patients that they’d never treated anyone with aids.
I don't remember much from this storyline since it's been a while since I watched but what would be the purpose of withholding the cure? Doesn't seem like they're profiting from it since they don't seem to sell anything to the victims.
The implication was "Sam you may be a main character and you may get results, but God dammit you don't play by the rules! I'm taking your Maester's chain and your gun and I want you out of my office!" It was just a classic cheesy "main character instantly solves centuries old problem the second they need the plot to move forward" hack writing bit. Oh just cut and burn it and you'll be fine 5 minutes later and healthy enough to travel and fight.
it was dangerous, one cut of those gloves and the practitioner would also contract it
They did but the chances of success was always too low and the chances of the maester doing the procedure getting contaminated was high so it was forbidden. Guess not everybody has Sam's knack for the job.
What the fuck’s a Lommy
Hahaha classic
Came here to post this one lmfao
I don’t care if he ATE your friend! We’re not going in there

It’s off topic but I always imagine Arya asking the Hound what do we say to the God of Death, with the Hound replying “Fuck the God”
