Game of Thrones - SPOILERS INSIDE

[Innovator]

All the more reasons to hate newspapers

[Blitz]

I have to say the reverse is true for me. Very disappointed by the lack of blue beard.
This doesn't surprise me.

[Requiem]

Didn't care for book Daario but show Daario is the man stfu all of you.

I agree, mostly BECAUSE of how they changed his appearance. It paints him (lol) totally differently. His vibrant blue hair and beard in the books really makes him seem flamboyant, attention seeking, far more 'weird' than he comes across in the show.


In the show, I can see how people hate him simply because he's encroaching on our Ser Jorah's territory, but let's face it.. they were never going to end up together, and anyone who thought they were is kidding themselves. Dany is at least smart enough to realize that, and she has moved on from him already. Jorah is still clinging to hope when he should have figured it out a long time ago. She is more than Jorah could ever be, and while she appreciates his help and would have been nowhere without him probably, they are not destined to be together. She is too important to end up with some middle-aged exile from Westeros who is only there because he dishonored himself.


Daario represents youth and freedom to her. He's intriguing to her. Let's keep in mind she's a 14 year old girl waging war against slavery in the old world. She's got an obvious teen mancrush on someone who is, to be honest, kind of a badass. She hasn't seen much of the world. Maybe some streets for a while, and then she grew up in luxury for the remainder of her childhood. All she has known really have been the Dothraki since then. Her husband was a khal, a MIGHTY fucking KING of horselords essentially, though he didn't rule the entirety of the Dothraki. Did people really want her to end up with hairy old Jorah Mormont, nice as he may be?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I just think he looks like a huge goof.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Also something weird with the way he talks. Almost looks like he's just miming and he's been overdubbed.

[Innovator]

God bless the Internet:

[El Fangel]

This doesn't surprise me.

Found him much more interesting in the books, Like Igin said he looks like too much of a goof.


And yes I realize how odd that sounds considering I think he would look less of one with a dyed beard.

[Innovator]

I wonder if they'll show Grey Wind's head on Robb's body

[VSG]

Seeing that they never showed that during Daenerys' visions at the House of Undying, I doubt it.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Game Of Thrones Pub Trivia tomorrow in many locations around America. Anybody who can go win one for TPWW!

[VSG]

Seeing that they never showed that during Daenerys' visions at the House of Undying, I doubt it.

Well I was clearly wrong :p

Good episode, but man I am going to HATE the wait till season 4 now.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

TARGARYEN MOSH PIT!

Really wish I could have gone to that Pub trivia. :mad: Probably would have lost because the names are all a jumble in my head.

[Lock Jaw]

Good episode. Some real "feel good" hopeful stuff for the final scene to make up for the torment of episode 9.

Where can I watch this online? 1channel seems to be stuck on episode 9 :(

[El Fangel]

Just wondering, where is everyone show and book wise.

[Lock Jaw]

Done three seasons and four books

[XL]

Finished Season 3/reading Book 1.

[Innovator]

Finished season 3, reading book 5

[The Destroyer]

Finished season 3 and book 2.

[Blitz]

Read/watched everything.

[VSG]

^ ditto

[Lock Jaw]

I'm waiting for the mass market paperback edition of the fifth book to come out in October, because otherwise it doesn't fit with the rest of the collection.

[El Fangel]

Done three seasons and four books

Oh, well I can say that the 5th starts off my favorite out of all of them.

Finished Season 3/reading Book 1.

Sweet summer child, cherish these days.

Finished season 3, reading book 5

Page 699 is going to be one amazing scene in the show. You will know it when you see it.

Finished season 3 and book 2.

I am not sure what I can say to you. Book 4 is a lot slower read than the other three I found, as there were a lot of chapters for someone I didn't care for very much.

Read/watched everything.


A Dance With Dragons
What do you think about Jon Snow? Any guesses? Warged into Ghost? Not actually mortally wounded?

[VSG]

Too many theories out there about it.

[Miotch]

He's got the red haired woman basically right there, so I imagine it'll be something like Dondarrion. Maybe he was also able to go into Ghost before he died, but ultimately he'll be back in his own body.

[Requiem]

He's got the red haired woman basically right there, so I imagine it'll be something like Dondarrion. Maybe he was also able to go into Ghost before he died, but ultimately he'll be back in his own body.

Yup. I have a feeling Melisandre is going to bring him back to life. It's something I didn't really consider before the shows. Her and Thoros' interaction made me think about it.

[El Fangel]

Personally, I think he could take a dagger. I mean he DID he shot and rode to Castle Black with an arrow stuck through him.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, not clicking on any of those.

[VSG]

Yup. I have a feeling Melisandre is going to bring him back to life. It's something I didn't really consider before the shows. Her and Thoros' interaction made me think about it.

That never happened in the books though. She may have no fucking clue about how to resurrect someone- something she seemed shocked that Thoros could do on the TV show.

[XL]

I intend to read the books after the events happen on screen. Which means I better make myself scarce around here.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

I've read all the books and watched all the show. Regarding Jon Snow up to book 5 he better not actually be dead. It'd be a massive letdown if he was, a dead end of a storyline. His mysterious origins need to be discovered. .

[NLO85]

I am not sure what I can say to you. Book 4 is a lot slower read than the other three I found, as there were a lot of chapters for someone I didn't care for very much.




Who Brienne? Cersei? Shit in Dorne?

I agree however you kinda just gave away that he is alive until then.

AFFC spoilers
And Sansa.

No I didn't. I just mentioned book 5 so that people who hadn't read everything wouldn't click on it.

[NLO85]

No I didn't. I just mentioned book 5 so that people who hadn't read everything wouldn't click on it.

ADWD Spoiler
I'm pretty sold on the theory of him being the son of Rhaeger Targaryen and Lyanna Stark and the third head of the dragon. So I see Melisandre bringing him back to life

[NLO85]

AFFC spoilers
And Sansa.

AFFC and ADWD
I found Brienne's pointless wanderings through the Riverlands to be so long and uneventful. That entire sub plot could have been shortened to one chapter of her meeting Lady Stoneheart. The show will definitely combine both books in my opinion. No way they'll do a whole season without Daenerys, Tyrion or Jon

Oh most definitely, I wouldn't bother watching otherwise.

[NLO85]

Now that the Red Wedding is over what scenes are fans of the books really looking forward to?

Joffrey's wedding; the duel of Oberyn Martell & Gregor Clegane; that scene in the colliseum in Meereen & Lysa Arryn getting tossed from the moon door are all going to be great for me

[Innovator]

Now that I'm caught up bookwise


-All things Red Viper
-Joffrey's Wedding and the pending trial
-Tyrion and Tywin's scene
-Jaime continuing his redemption tour
-Lady Stoneheart's reveal
-Bran/three eyed crow
-COLDHANDS DAMMIT
-The penance walk-Jon Snow as Lord Commander, getting stabbed, possibly resurrected as Azor Ahai

[XL]

Not if people put things in spoiler tags and label appropiately.
Reading a series of posts that say SPOILER: SHOW isn't as interesting as you might think.

It's my choice to go TV show > then book/my cross to bear.

[Lock Jaw]

I mean, there IS a thread for the books, if people really wanted: http://www.tpwwforums.com/showthread.php?t=114107

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Bumped that thread for added visibility. Might start book 5 if I can get a hold of the audiobook. Don't really want to wait for the mass market paperback that I have for the first four, but don't want to pay out the ass for the big book.

[Lock Jaw]

I just want it to fit the collection. I CAN'T HAVE FOUR BOOKS BE ONE SIZE, AND THEN THE FIFTH ANOTHER!

That's just madness!

[Lock Jaw]

Maybe I will try to find an e-book. I hate reading on a computer screen, though.

[Miotch]

I love reading on the ipad, especially at night in bed.

[El Fangel]

What you guys think of having two seperate threads? One for book and one for show? That was we can sort of help alleviate possible spoilers.

I am terribly worried I will spoil one of you and I don't want that.

[Miotch]

There is one for the book and one for the show.

But show talk often references the books, so I will just spoiler tag anything spoiler-y

[El Fangel]

Made that post without seeing references to other thread. Got a book rwcommended by Martin.

Some are a bit funny but a lot of them are just random non-classic Arrested Development quotes.

So, what's your favourite character name? (Not favourite character)

Quite partial to Beric Dondarrion.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Bronn. Just works for the character.

Khal Drogo is a perfect barbarian name.

Karl Drogo. I remember when I thought it was Karl Drogo. Was like "Karl" isn't a very badass name, but "Drogo" is.

[Miotch]

Cut your fu*king hair.

[Blitz]

Maybe more excited for the Viper and the Mountain than I was for the Red Wedding.

[VSG]

That's probably going to be episode 9 this season.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

When the date for the new season got announced I was trying to think how many characters were left in it that I know the name of. Daenerys, Tyrion, Jon Snow, Jaime Lannister, "Jaime Lannisters sister", Jerome from "Robson and Jerome" and Arya Stark is about it.

[VSG]

lol Brigstocke's avatar didn't remind you of Littlefinger?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Oh yeahhhh and him. And his friend/enemy Droford

[VSG]

Yes, fat cockless Droford.

[Blitz]

That's probably going to be episode 9 this season.
I put it around ep 7. The Purple Wedding around ep 4. Gotta give Tyrion time to build pathos while he's arrested/Cersei time to be Cersei. I'd put The Battle of Castle Black in episode 9. Closer in tone to Blackwater than the Rains of Castamere or Baelor. Tywin will bite it in 9 or 10. Season ends with the reveal of Lady Stoneheart. Book it.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I fear there will be no Lady Stoneheart from the rumors i've heard.

[Brigstocke]

They have also recast Daario Naharas

Good move IMO.. I didnt buy that guy killing his 'mates' and I wouldn't have bought him doing some other things that crop up in the future if the story is kept 'as is' in the books.

[Brigstocke]

I'm interested as to how many seasons I have to watch until I get to see

Young Griff

[Fignuts]

One week, lads.

[XL]

Thought it started 6th April in the US?

[The Destroyer]

It does. Not sure what happens in a week.

[Fignuts]

I was a bit drunk. Forgot it was march.

[XL]

Lol. Figured you'd got mixed up.

[Brigstocke]

Can't wait for this... So many surprises coming.. This should be the best season... This is where the majority of the Story's 'gamechangers' happen.

[Heisenberg]

I haven't read this far. I like to read after the season concludes. I haven't read into any possible spoilers on the web either. My body is ready for next month

[Lock Jaw]

I haven't read this far. I like to read after the season concludes. I haven't read into any possible spoilers on the web either. My body is ready for next month

Yeah, I tried to do that too... but didn't have the willpower of Heisenberg. As such, I am almost done the fifth book.

[Miotch]

The idea of waiting to read the source material so it doesn't spoil the derivative work is somewhat silly to me.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, now that I've done it, I kind of prefer it... helps me understand what the hell is going on on the show and keep better track of all the characters.

[Ruien]

The idea of waiting to read the source material so it doesn't spoil the derivative work is somewhat silly to me.

The way I look at it is, there are countless good books I still want to read. There is only a few shows/movies that I really look forward to seeing.

[Miotch]

Right but it is no less enjoyable if you have read the books. In fact in many ways I'd say it's more enjoyable.

‘Game of Thrones’ showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have been telling the press there’s an endpoint coming for the hit HBO series. They told EW that seven seasons “is the plan,” which makes the about-to-begin season 4 the midpoint of the series.

To figure out how to end the series, though, they need to know how the books end, and there are still two more volumes of George R.R. Martin’s seven-volume series to be published. To get a feel for where things are headed, the showrunner team talked to Martin and went through the planned fate of every character, Benioff told Vanity Fair. Martin confirmed that he could give them the “broad strokes” of what’s coming, but that “details aren’t there yet.”

And we share today the latest Season 4 trailer, which gives us a taste of each of the major characters. Season 4 kicks off April 6 (for the first trailer, see “’Game of Thrones’ S4 Trailer”).

[VSG]

How are they planning to put in 4 books worth of material in 3 seasons?

[Innovator]

I think they started with some of the book 4 and 5 things this season. You can combine those two books into one season since they don't have a lot of overlapping characters.

[VSG]

Book 5 has s ton of stuff in it though, and frankly I am surprised they are not milking this cow as much as they can with 8-10 seasons.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

In 4 more seasons, I'm taking a guess at there being 76 more white haired, bearded, old guys introduced.

[VSG]

Don't forget the 100 new pairs of tits.

[Fignuts]

Honestly though, if they had 8-10 seasons, they'd eventually have to recast some people, due to actors growing older.

Or white haired bearded old guy actors dying.

Unless there is a time skip in one of the upcoming books

[Fignuts]

Fuck even with 7 seasons, at this pace the teen actors will be men and women by the final season.

[Miotch]

They've already had to recast multiple people for various reasons. I don't think it's that big of deal.

[XL]

Got a little confused location-wise. I thought Castle Black was at the top of The Wall or at least located at The Wall. They've climbed The Wall and now they're making their way to Castle Black!?

The wall is very very long with a shitload of castles.

Technically speaking.

But they seem to have gone from frozen plains to grassy terrains. I thought both sides of The Wall were freezing. Also, where is The Wall. Don't remember seeing it behind them!?

Re-watched everything. Still confused about this.

[RP]

They've already had to recast multiple people for various reasons. I don't think it's that big of deal.

Like who?

[VSG]

Daario Naharis comes to mind.

[Lock Jaw]

Gregor Clegane has been recast twice

[Lock Jaw]

But really, I don't think the age thing will matter in the show. All the children/kids started off older in the TV show than they did in the book anyhows.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Bran is the only kid that looks wayyyy too old for his role.

[Lock Jaw]

Will be weird if Bran grows taller than Hodor and they still have him strapped to Hodor's back.

[Blitz]

How are they planning to put in 4 books worth of material in 3 seasons?
Remember, A Feast For Crows and A Dance of Dragons happen at the same time. And based on casting for this season, They're gonna at least open up some storylines that don't happen this soon in the books.

I have a feeling both of them are going to get hacked the fuck down anyways. That's a lot of new characters to intro if not.

[Fignuts]

The geography of the wall confused me as well when reading through the books.

[VSG]

Will be weird if Bran grows taller than Hodor and they still have him strapped to Hodor's back.

Hobbit magic time!

Remember, A Feast For Crows and A Dance of Dragons happen at the same time. And based on casting for this season, They're gonna at least open up some storylines that don't happen this soon in the books.

True but they still have enough material amongst them for 2 seasons at least. I guess I am just confused by this rumour because it makes no sense financially and I don't want this to end abruptly like Rome (also Firefly/Terminator:TSCC and others) did :'(

[Corporate CockSnogger]

One of the lads I'm on a stag do with does ice sculpting and he was doing something for Game of Thrones. Got a look at some behind the scenes photos. Major ones were ibe of Daenerys standing around looking fit and one of a white walker carrying a baby onto an altar made of ice (which this guy made) and it looks pretty sweet.

[VSG]

Khaleesi!

[Fignuts]

Fucking love Arya Stark.

No pedo.

[Blitz]

Whole episode was great, but that opening sequence man. Incredible evocation of mood. Tywin melting down Ice felt downright profane.

[Fignuts]

Seriously, that creepy smile on his face.

I like the new guy playing Daario. Don't feel the desire to punch him in his smug face.

As much.

Oberyn was awesome. Liked him in the books, but his scenes gave me a new appreciation for the character.

Somehow rooting for Jaime even more, despite my brain shouting at me that he tried to murder Bran.

[RP]

That ending was fucking amazing.

" I understand that if any more words come pouring out your cunt mouth, I'm gonna have to eat every fucking chicken in this room. "

That whole scene was one of the best .

[Fignuts]

Yeah, and the chemistry between Arya and The Hound is great.

"Of course you named your sword."

"Lots of people name their sword."

"Lot's of cunts."

Fucking great.

[XL]

Anyone know of any streams up yet?

[Fignuts]

No, but I downloaded a torrent that had over 4,000 seeds.

[Heisenberg]

not really a spoiler I guess but

I learned that when the Dog wants chicken, you give him that damn chicken

[Lock Jaw]

I really like Prince Oberyn so far. Kind of want him to deliver the line "Hello. My name is Oberyn Martell. You killed my sister. Prepare to die."

[Krimzon7]

OBERYN had the line of the night.

'which way do you llike it?'

'MY WAY'.

'Tell your father I'm here...and that Lannisters aren't the only ones who pays their debts'.

Fucking MINT homie!

[Heisenberg]

Vintage Dog last night, woo!!! That's how you do it.

[ClockShot]

Feeling like when scenes of Arya and Sandor pop up, the theme from "The Odd Couple" starts playing in my head.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Best part of the whole episode was that they re-cast that goofball looking bloke that's trying to get into Danaerys's knickers. New guy seems much more acceptable.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

thought sir dontas was going to get cut because of little finger promising to get Sansa out last season. Good to see they didn't.

[Fignuts]

holy shit the chick playing Margery Tyrell is 32. Looks 18.

Why do I think that the Kingslayer is going to have his arm regenerated? I haven't read ahead or anything. I just get that notion that some trickery is abound and he becomes full again, I shouldn't even be investing time into him, but part of me feels he has struggled and deserves to still be in the running.

I don't want to know what becomes of it, just putting that out there. GoT

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Maybe you should read the books.

[Krimzon7]

Maybe you should read the books.

Or AT LEAST the wikipedia pages.

Yes has anyone told you there are books?

Because there are books.

And you should read them.

The books I mean.

Read the books.

holy shit the chick playing Margery Tyrell is 32. Looks 18.

Natalie Dormer. Total piece of ass.

She was on the much gayer version of Game of Thrones called "The Tudors." There weren't as many gay scenes on the show but the opening credits scream "fruity pebbles with a side of fruit salad at a San Francisco fruit festival."

I still liked it, though. But god damn the opening credits are gay.

[Miotch]

That is incredibly spoilerish for the TV thread.

[RP]

The scene with The Hound and Arya in the Inn, might be one of my favorite scenes of all time. I've watched it 10 times or so. It's not getting old.

" Bring me one of those chickens "

" You got money to pay for it? "

" You paid for it! "

[Krimzon7]

I know who did it.

[Heisenberg]

Don't click on Spoiler if you haven't seen the latest episode. You are probably going to, just hold on a bit mate.

That was so damn uncomfortable last night watching Joffrey berate Tyrion during the wedding and showing the midget battle royale. Looking back I was scrambling trying to figure out who was posted up where. Like the Oberyn and that Tyrell dude nodding, that was either, hey let's do it right here, or let's execute this assassination and then let's go do it.

I have read ahead, so I know what's to come. I was still impressed with the mayhem going on though

They've pulled off a little murder-mystery beautifully there.

Was it The Fool, tired of Joffrey's cruel treatment?
Was it Tyrion, who moments early had been publicly ridiculed by his younger brother?
Was it Sansa, who had opportunity when she handed the King's goblet to Tyrion?
Was it a conspiracy between Martell and Loras?
Or even Cersei, with Joff dead the throne falls to Tommen, giving Cersei the power of Queen Regent once again.

Spoiler tags, I guess. Though, really, why the fuck would you come in here after it airs/before you watch it!?

[Hanso Amore]

Tyrion is Joffreys uncle not brother

[ClockShot]

This looks like a job for the Scooby Gang.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Great. The number of characters I know the names of is rapidly decreasing.

Tyrion is Joffreys uncle not brother

Yes he is.

[ClockShot]

The Iron Bank got name dropped again. Here's hoping Mycroft Holmes will be dropping by in the near future.

[Triple A]

Kinda upset... was an incredible heel. Like all his scenes/storylines were my favs I think.

[XL]

Friend on Facebook has gone into meltdown because of spoilers. He's currently posting a bunch of spoilers for films like Sixth Sense, Star Wars, etc.

[Lock Jaw]

I will not use spoiler tags! For if you are entering this thread before seeing the latest episode... frankly, you deserve it. What did you expect?


Yeah, Joffrey was a great heel. No sympathy for him whatsoever, and wanted to see him get beat down or verbally told off every episode....

Like, all the other heels on the show... they have some sympathetic qualities.... or have that "Damn, that guy is cold... but kind of badass" feel about them.

[XL]

I've learned one thing: don't go to a wedding in Westeros.

[Heisenberg]

I've started reading ahead cause of Joffrey's demise. I heard Jack Gleeson is retiring from acting, although he'll be showing back up later I assume to bank on his heel heat

[Heisenberg]

I was wondering if Davos continues to be around mega heel Melisandre, will he succumb to her breasts and go over Stannis @ Thronemania?

He could be booked as the human form of the Lord of Light and be mad over with the remnants of Stannis' kingdom.

Fine if you're a guest. Just don't be the groom or a member of his family.

[Fignuts]

Nice shot of Cersei's tits there.

[El Fangel]

Eomer from Lotr? Karl Urban wasn't in Game of Thrones. That other guy was terrible and looked nothing like Karl Urban.

Or is there a character in game of thrones called eomer? V confused

Nah, he just always reminded me of the guy for some reason.

Literally laughed my ass off watching this scene. Little prick did his job perfectly and made you hate him completely. It's funny because like someone else in here said, most of the characters in this show have some redeeming qualities. Joffrey, however, had none. Looking forward to seeing who did it, and hope Tyrian finds a way out.

Daario was pretty cool, but I still would have liked Strong Belwas. Part of me thought he was going to make a late debut there.

[Innovator]

I went on twitter last night around 1030 and Strong Belwas was trending and I got really excited, turns it it was just people saying they wished he was there and it "suxors"

[RoXer]

An article on the "rape" of Cersei which had me confused as I was watching it also as I remembered it being much more consensual in The Books.

http://www.avclub.com/article/rape-thrones-203499

[Heisenberg]

Podric was mad over last night

Hound and Arya were getting mad heat from weak man

Oberyn had his battle royal interrupted by Tywin, who cut a pretty sweet promo getting O to join him in stuff

Samwell is true to the Wall and totally trashed the wilding's dreams

Random run-in by the Wildings, trashing a village and sending a message to the Crows. Stables jocking for position round that area.

Total mark out moment seeing what I read last week, the return of Littlefinger saving Sansa from King's Landing and pedigreeing the fool. His ship was like Davy Jones-esque. Mad over.

I missed some other stuff, like Davos using princess for creative and Jon Snow. Pretty calming episode, oh and Mother of Dragons still breaking chains and hearts with her travelling promo army

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Probably would've stopped watching if they hadn't recast that guy with Daenerys if that guy's getting a bigger role. That goofy looking guy standing there trying to look tough while a guy on a horse is charging at him would've looked ridiculous.

[Heisenberg]

I thought the one unsullied troop that got his nipple cut off was going to throw his hat in the ring, but the recast guy got a major pop from me in that scene. All that peeing was cool too. Marking the territory

[Hanso Amore]

Actually Oberyn was having a fatal 5 way bro bro. Was 2 Rats with the chick and then that one Billy and chuck guy.

Tyrion is in the Dog house. Nuclear Heat in the Red Keep.

Dany "has the whole world in her hands". Plenty of followers.

[Hanso Amore]

But seriously. Raping your twin sister right next to the dead body of your Nephew Son is a power move.

Great additions to the show review, to my defense on the first correction, it was total pandemonium in the Brothel and I couldn't keep track of all the bodies flying everywhere.

[Hanso Amore]

That is fair. I figured they were going to keep ringing the bell until more whores came out to help, leadingto Sting Whore dropping in from the ceiling. "SEE YOU NEXT WEEK".

[ClockShot]

Mace Tyrell being one of the Judges is interesting. But I hope he gets some screen time pretty soon. Cause we don't know jack about him. Like 15 seconds of screen time last week and that was it.

[Hanso Amore]

Yeah the casual fan will barely remember who he is or why hes at all important.

[Heisenberg]

I would mark the hell out if they debuted a new character at the end of the show and slowly panned in on his face and cut the lights out.

Thought Mace had been given a nincompoop gimmick and that Olena was stealing all his heat. Didn't think there was much more to him.

[Fignuts]

The Cersei/Jaime scene looked really rapey, which it totally wasn't in the books. It still looks like she pulls him in a little.

[Heisenberg]

A little fantasy booking adjustment and I would have let Dontos get on the ship and start a little scuffle with Littlefinger, only to have LF get the upperhand and chokeslam Dontos onto the paddle boat, dying from the devastation to his back as the remnants of the paddleboat stab through him.

That probably could have enough WTF power to end the show. I was pleased with the scene nonetheless.

[Hanso Amore]

Cannot wait for Jon Snow to snap and turn into a badass submission machine and just starts tapping out Thormund Giantsbane

[Innovator]

Jon Snow is going to make a run in and go on a Jon Snow Stunner rampage

[NLO85]

I was disappointed with the liberties HBO took with that scene... Seems to contradict the redemptive character arc Jamie is on as he tries to be a more honourable man

[Krimzon7]

All of you guys are annoying/entertaining me right now with this wrestling/booking talk for the show.

[RP]

What's not honorable about raping your sister on her dead sons corpse?

[Fignuts]

On Joffrey's corpse? Nothing dishonorable at all.

The Dirtsheets say he'll be booked in a David-Goliath feud with an actual giant. Gonna eliminate him from The Wall Rumble to set up a WestroMania match.

[Heisenberg]

I think Arya should have went easy on the Hound after the Silver fiasco. The guy probably asked too many questions about the Hound's stats.

"Wot weapon you using? You dual wield or using a 2H'er? I'm leveling up myself, using strength gems in my gear, but I can't get these bracers to drop from one of the batling caves. You must get your enchants from a secret vendor. Do you need another quest? Can we duel?"

[Hanso Amore]

I agree...but at the same time I was sort of behind it since hes raping Cersei who is a total main even heel.

So like somehow maybe raping a bad person makes the rape ok.,..Like justice.

But then the whole dead body thing ruins it all.

Hound is farming Fucking Newbs.

"Hey Bro these dudes keep stealing all my shit and I cant protect myself. You are a huge badass that no one can stop...I have some shit here Ill pay you if you protect me. I know we just met and im telling you that you could totally just take this shit from me no ifs ands or buts but will you work for me? Totally dig your scars".

[Hanso Amore]

I just thought of a Katie Vick/Joffrey comparison and then forgot it and I cant remember,

Was good shit.

[Brigstocke]

I cant wait to see Tyrion steal CasterleyCW from Under Tywins nose.

He was sent there by Lord Bolton

[Lock Jaw]

Oh yeah, he sent him to find Bran and Rickon after Theon told them the truth....

If he says the words and becomes a brother of the Night's Watch, doesn't that mean he can never actually return, though? Or else he'd be a deserter and have to have his head chopped off...

[Heisenberg]

I think he's in a faction where rules don't matter, Lord Michael Bolton can't afford to lose one of his main event heels

[Lock Jaw]

Nah, that dude is cold as hell. Probably told him he could get him out of it... but SWERVE the way out will be via head chopping.

Tyrion down a stablemate, but looking forward to seeing the new Tag Team of Brienne & Payne take on the world.

Bolton is aligned the Lannisters. He could easily be absolved or he might have preemptive absolution to do whatever it takes.

[Fignuts]

Lots of stuff that never happened in the books this ep. Not a bad thing. Just strange to see.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

What's the deal with the white walkers anyway? Have they even done anything yet? I'm probably forgetting something but seriously don't think I know anything about them other than they're some zombies or something just waltzing round in the snow, carefully sculpting pedestals made of ice to place babies on.

[Heisenberg]

Some kind of spa tundra where babies go to get cool contacts

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I'd mentioned this earlier in the thread, but my friends brother was the guy who actually sculpted all the ice stuff at the end there. He showed me some behind the scenes pictures and one was a white walker just casually having a Costa coffee and a cigarette during a break. Pretty cool.

[Heisenberg]

I guess they are saying this episode spoiled the upcoming books a bit, as that Night's King character hasn't debuted yet, but was supposed to in the next book.

Whatever. He's been mentioned once or twice at least.

I've accepted Strong Belwas not being in the show, but now they had me thinking Cold Hands was going to make a late debut when the last scene began.

Fucking cool characters getting cut. wtf

[Fignuts]

What if the Night's King somehow ended up being a zombie King Aerys?

[Lock Jaw]

Good main event tonight between Knife Guy and Jon Snow. Wish it had a clean finish though, instead of the run-in.

[Lock Jaw]

Also, was cool to learn how Littlefinger is The Higher Power that has been manipulating events from season 1....

They've been doing a slow build with him, but I can see him eventually becoming the biggest heel in Westeros.

Was pissed off that they were turning Pod into Santino, but if you stuck it out like anyone who watches it, they book him strong going into next week.

Marge/Cersei backstage segment was kind of weird. I thought Cersei was coming back there to whip some ass, but they started getting along and no one got jumped.

I'm liking the Littlefinger storyline, it is one of the many stories that are rushed for time's sake, but it doesn't leave you unfulfilled.

Hodor snapped and laid out the dude that was sent by Lord Bolton, pretty brutal scene at Craster's Keep overall.

Jon Snow d. Miz DaFoe via Sword through the face
