My favourite part was that the whole game of thrones was solved in one scene. "Everybody vote for Bran" "OK!" *vote unanimously for Bran*
If only it were that easy in the previous seasons. You know, with all the betrayal, the bribes, people wanting their own families in power, people suspicious of rivals and not trusting strangers......nah, let's all vote for the expressionless teenager in a wheelchair that we hardly know :P
While we're at it, let's all agree on independence only for the north while we still need to answer to a king. Because we're just that nice and don't want independence for our own nations.
Not just someone that they hardly know, but someone who they hardly know AND has never demonstrated any kind of leadership AND who is actually powerful as hell. I mean, everyone seems to be putting an awful lot of trust in Bran actually being a benevolent ruler when they really don't know the first thing about him. If they're wrong about that, then they've got a BIG problem on their hands. I mean, in addition to his other weird and creepy powers, I think it's at least implied that he can control a dragon. CAN he control a dragon? He says that he's going to "find" Drogon. Doesn't anyone see that as a problem after just having seen a different person use Drogon in order to burn King's Landing to the ground?
I probably wouldn't vote for Bran either. And yet, not ONE single person objects. It's freaking unanimous. NO ONE has any objections to that guy?
Additionally, why the hell does no one have a problem with Bran controlling the 6 Kingdoms AND Sansa controlling an independent North? Does no one else see that as way too much power for the Starks? Not only does the son of Ned Stark get to rule the 6 Kingdoms, but HIS SISTER gets to retain control of an independent North even AFTER control of the 6 Kingdoms goes to a new king. No one else sees that as a problem? I mean, even if everyone did know enough about Bran to know that he'd be a good and benevolent ruler, that's STILL too much power to be giving to House Stark. That's a totally lopsided balance of power between House Stark and House Everyone Else, and not one single person objected to it.
