| Augen said: Big point I did not get was Tywin saying the Lannisters were out or running out of gold. Wait. WHAT!? That is an odd change for the show, they definitely had gold and had massive loans out that need to be repaid. |
Well, gold isn't exactly perishable goods so they aren't running out of gold, just not producing it anymore. It might serve as a plot hole fix, for otherwise it wouldn't be hard to conceive a deal with the Iron Bank via pledge, or whatever, where the future Lannister mining dividends were directly bonded to pay off the debts of the crown. Not to mention you aren't going to produce a finite good for centuries using the same technology,. so it fixes that one too...
Also, lots of fillers north of the wall but it doesn't seem this is going to retard Bran so much since the last episode of the season relates to his ADWD business...
