    As for Yara, you already claim it made no sense for The North to become indepedent. If they granted that to Yara, too, then why not the rest of the Kingdoms? That undermines making Bran king of the 7 Kingdoms if he's just that of KL. The series left him as king of the 6 kingdoms but I firmly believe there are already plots to change that and seize power. We dont really need to see that play out
    Yarra was already promised it before Sansa. The writers put it in there not me. So not sure why you on me because I expect writers to execute their own plot.

    You were trying to argue about whether Tyrion or Varys were worried about her intentions. So you have two choices - you can keep playing semantics and putting so many caveats on your point that they are narrowed down to meaningless, or you can accept that, yes, her advisors were worried about her actions killing innocents.

    And they were. That's why Varys saw Jon as a solution to the "problem". That's why Tyrion pleaded with her about the bells. That's why Tyrion hesitated about the bells - he thought she would follow through on her word and end it. He didn't start dancing with relief, he held his breath to see what would happen. Why? Because he still had concerns she would kill the innocents.

    They were worried many innocents would die because of her malice or indifference. Period. This is not a thing to opine about, that's just what happened in the show. I don't know why that's even a point of debate.
    Lol collateral damage vs mass murder is not semantics. Pretty massive difference.

    This would be like saying their was no difference in how the US conducted WWII and Germany. Civilians died at the hands of the US and Germany. Difference is the German's specifically targeted Jews and other civilians and gassed them. That is not collateral damage.

    Sansa nor Bran ever promised that to Yara. The person who did is dead so it was a moot point. There was no plot to execute

    This is again silly. Yarra is still alive so it is not a moot point. She fought for Dany and Dany promised her something. It is absurd to think she would not press her case as a condition of accepting a new king especially after Sansa just did and after he held up her end of the bargain. And after her brother died saving Bran.

    and again there wasnt time to get into a political debate. Probably would have made for an interesting story for next season but we dont have that

    There was no need for debate. Bran didnt debate Sansa.

    Your argument seems to be we should ignore previous plot points because the writers chose to. I am saying they are hacks.

    My argument is that ts not a plot point thats relevant anymore bc Dany is dead so its moot to dwell on or address it given the limited time

    I fail to see why there wasn't time. Ostensibly, what was happening during the scene was a negotiation for the release of Jon and Tyrion and of the surrender of the Unsullied/Dothraki forces.

    That it devolved into a "let's determine who becomes king," was frankly really, shoehorned in. Grey Worm clearly didn't care or have an opinion on the matter, and only wanted justice for the death of Danny... Which didn't even get resolved in that scene (if I'm remembering correctly). So there's really no narrative reason why they couldn't have.

    And frankly the rest of the episode was just padding anyways, so it's not like they couldn't have found time to cover the issues. Like instead of Yara bringing up Danny's promise then, just have her bring it up to Bran after he becomes King.

    I'll admit I don't actually remember this too well. Did Dany really promise Yara that the Iron Islands would have independence? That's sort of suprising given how she feels it's her destiny to rule everything. I guess she was more laxed back then.

    By that point they were already part of the kingdom. The North barely ever had any serious issues with the Targaryens or conflicts. And the first time they did, the North rebelled against Aerys. And since Ned helped put Robert on the throne, they stayed

    According to the wiki

    "Following the Second Siege of Meereen, Yara and Theon meet with Daenerys Targaryen and her advisor Tyrion Lannister. Yara offers to provide a hundred ships to Dany if she can help them defeat Euron and recognize the independence of the Iron Islands with Yara as the Queen of the Iron Islands, as her brother Theon notes that he is not fit to rule, something that Tyrion agrees with. Daenerys agrees to their offer after securing a promise that the Ironborn will cease raiding and terrorizing the mainland."

    Happened Season 6

    Came across a pic of someone saying they hope Sansa brings democracy to Westeros in the final hours just hours before it aired.



    Would love to her know response to Sansa’s reaction to Sam’s suggestion.

    It's a shame Dany wasn't quite as chill about independence as Sansa. Though with the North I suppose it's sort of moot since Jon already bent the knee anyways.

    Honestly though, I'll wager that Sansa wouldn't have minded democracy that much because I think the Starks would pretty much have been a slam dunk even if they did vote. Jon might be more popular than her and Bran might be perceived as the true heir, but neither are going to be around anyways. Arya's gone too. So I suspect democrcy in the North would only be a technicality.
