Game of Thrones - SPOILERS INSIDE

[Hanso Amore]

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.

It was me tyrion, it as me all along.

[Brigstocke]

I have known for some time as an avid reader that Littlefinger is the greatest heel of alltime. he isn't even halfway done with his dastardly deeds.

Might be time to re-enter the Littlefinger avatar

[Heisenberg]

That original avatar made me instantly a fan of your work, I just finished Storm of Swords. I'm going to start the fourth book soon. I have a good idea of what is yet to come this season.

[Brigstocke]

A Dance with Dragons will astound and begin to enlighten you my friend.

[Brigstocke]

A Feast for Crows may seem a bit sluggish though as it runs in adjacent timeline with A Dance with Dragons but focuses on different characters.. The better characters/stories seem to happen in a Dance with Dragons.

[Heisenberg]

A Dance with Dragons will astound and begin to enlighten you my friend.

good that you're back to reclaim this throne of a thread. I had to tell myself that they have to fit a lot of the book into these episodes, these last few eps are the first ones I have read ahead of and it adds a totally new joy to my viewing. The show feels condensed, but in a good way. When Peter and Sansa were on their way to the Vale(sp?) it was way longer and had an added stop to it, but I loved the way all those guards had arrows ready to fire if someone were to fart on their way past the Bloody Gate/Vale

[Hanso Amore]

Going to start referring to Arya and the Hound as Head Cheese

[Hanso Amore]

Cersei spent all last night hinting at a Face turn. I dont buy it. Going to end up turning on Margaery like the Horseman on Sting.

[Hanso Amore]

Also - Not a book reader so dont spoil this at all for me, but I really want to get behind Tommen and Ser Pounce. Really hope he ends up as a force as king. Im sure it will take a years of being told what to do by Tywin and Cersei but when he finally says "NO" and drops stunners on 20-30 people in the Royal Court it is going to be epic.

[Hanso Amore]

Also, Brans story is actually getting a bit better. its still a wee bit annoying but they are doing a good job with his Misfits in Action to make me care about their struggle and end goal. Could be the kind of long term booking that makes money.

[Lock Jaw]

A Feast for Crows may seem a bit sluggish though as it runs in adjacent timeline with A Dance with Dragons but focuses on different characters.. The better characters/stories seem to happen in a Dance with Dragons.

Yeah, honestly had some trouble making it through the fourth book. Dance with Dragons was pretty great though.

[Hanso Amore]

Lastly, I love that Jon Snow wins after the ref gets distracted and Crastors wife can hit Karl with the Megaphone.

[VSG]

Got back to the US and caught up with Season 2. I will be amazingly pissed off if ColdHands is cut from the show.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Glad they killed Burn Gorman. Hate that guys face so much.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Not enough Tyrion, Jaime or Jerome from Robson & Jerome in this episode though. I think they're the only 3 characters left that I care about in the slightest.

[RoXer]

It took me an entire year to get through the 4th book. I just started the 5th last month.

[Fignuts]

5th is better, but it still doesn't measure up to Storm of Swords.

Kind of wonder if any subsequent books ever will.

[The Destroyer]

I have known for some time as an avid reader that Littlefinger is the greatest heel of alltime. he isn't even halfway done with his dastardly deeds.

Might be time to re-enter the Littlefinger avatar
He'll always be Lord Twatbeard to me.

[Brigstocke]

Fetch Ser Ilyn...

[Brigstocke]

Also...If anybody needs speak with me...Do it through my squire Iginfest of the House Mersey.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

If Cersei wasn't responsible for poisoning John Aryn why would she act like she did in season one?

[Hanso Amore]

I dont remember her acting like she did but it was so long ago.

My guess is if she did, its not to tip her hand. If she "could" kill Jon Arryn then she "could" kill Ned. If you are thought to do something horrible why not use that as a weapon?

[Brigstocke]

Because Cersei dosen't understand the Game of Thrones.

[RP]

Cersei needs to get back in the kitchen

[VSG]

She would probably get raped by Jaime there as well though.

[Brigstocke]

Rapers wear their crimes like badges of honor in Westeros VSG... How dare you attempt to besmirch the good name of Jaime Lannister?

[Brigstocke]

Cersei has a decent look, charisma and a great 'Moveset'.. She could have been a bigger star if she wasn't prematurely pushed. Its like Ryback all over again.

[Heisenberg]

Is Samwell a main event character? Serious question, I saw he had a chapter named after him

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Is Samwell a main event character? Serious question, I saw he had a chapter named after him



He has quite a few POV chapters not sure I'd call him a main event player but he's upper mid-card. He might be pretty important but it has to play out.

number of chapters he has



5 (Book 3), 5 (Book 4)

[Fignuts]

Is Samwell a main event character? Serious question, I saw he had a chapter named after him

Solid upper mid carder.

[Brigstocke]

Samwell is a main event manager... The Paul Heyman of the wall. The brains of the operation.

[Hanso Amore]

Sam well is more like ziggler

Big following, big performer, just never made that last step

[Hanso Amore]

Killing a white walker was his version of cashing in mitb

[Heisenberg]

I liked him before that, he just has it. What it takes to make you worry about him and stuff. I'm always like, well there goes Samwell beyond the wall, ppl are going to eat him. Then he makes out everytime. Great lad.

[The Destroyer]

"Game of Thrones as wrestling" has well and truly been run into the ground over these last few pages.

[Heisenberg]

Would you rather we grab our teacups and point our pinky fingers to the sky and discuss it like 65 yo dried up crusty women?

I caused this change, I'm going to ride it through

[The Destroyer]

I dunno, four posts of it in a row from Hanso kind of soured me on it.

[Heisenberg]

It's ok, I personally find it amusing to bunch up an episode and break it down into a wrestling card. This season especially has been on point. I'd rather talk about it over any other topic that is floating around like Russia/North Korea/Kardashians

[Hanso Amore]

I dunno, four posts of it in a row from Hanso kind of soured me on it.

Your mother is a cunt

[Hanso Amore]

So right now Littlefinger is both the Lord of the Riverlands after it was handed to him after the red wedding, and is also now the Lord of the Vale...So he has 2 of the 7 Kings under his control?

And with Sansa in theory being the Heir to Winterfell, if he finds a way to marry her he will have the 3 northern kingdoms on lockdown.

[Innovator]

I hope Pod doesn't get stuck as solely as a tag team specialist

[Brigstocke]

Hanso...To all intents and purposes Sansa is his 'Neice' for the nonce... You can't marry your neice...even in Westeros.

He's only really got the Riverlands on paper and I doubt he holds much influence there. The entire region is probably a fucking mess after all the fighting that's gone on there and I doubt Walder Frey is hugely pleased about not getting the job.

[Fignuts]

Damn, what is all that stuff in the far east?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Hanso...To all intents and purposes Sansa is his 'Neice' for the nonce... You can't marry your neice...even in Westeros.

Not sure why they went with niece and not bastard child like in the books.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

http://oi61.tinypic.com/rmu3o4.jpg

Looks like a penis shaped object in the east.

[Lock Jaw]

http://www.fantasticmaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/TheEast.jpg

Read all five books and never even heard of these places....

[Lock Jaw]

http://www.fantasticmaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Asshai-and-the-Shadow.png

Oh, I think Melisandre is from that "Asshai" place....

[Fignuts]

Same. The fuck is Ulthos? Sounds ominous.

Also, where is Valyria?

[The Destroyer]

Yeah a lot of the far east stuff apparently doesn't even appear in the books, it's from a map collection that came out a couple of years ago.

Valyria is on the large map Jura posted, it's the brown/grey bit in the south about half way across the map with a reddish diagonal line thing across the top.

[Brigstocke]

http://s21.postimg.org/wjza1jqdz/valyria.jpg

[VSG]

That map isn't even fully showing the 3rd continent at the bottom (where the summer Isles begin from). Typically the further East you got, the weirder the place was.

[Fignuts]

In that case, I definitely want to see Ulthos in the new books.

[VSG]

Asked whether this (Ulthos) was another continent, Martin replied, "Well, it's a large landmass. I am a little unclear on the formal definition of 'continent' as opposed to 'big island.' Also on the size of Ulthos, which after all sits at the edge of the known world. Terra incognita and all that.

Guy has no clue himself about it at this point. The 3rd continent, Sothoros, is more or less the Africa of that world.

[Heisenberg]

how heavy is this week's episode going to get?? woo, sitting here outside of Westeros wondering what the hell I'm gonna do about myself until Sunday evening

[Fignuts]

Land of the Shrykes sounds awesome too.

[Jura]

Did some research and I guess that map is not accurate pertaining to the Eastern side or it's an old version. The actual map seems less...well you make an opinion:

http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/detailed/efb7_got_full_world_map_poster.jpg

The Jade sea has been moved up to be right of the Red Waste and whatever's to the right of it doesn't exist or isn't explored yet and Sothoryos the continent to the south is moved closer to Quarth.

[Jura]

I liked the other uhh...whatever his name is, the guy that likes Danaerys. The new one doesn't stand out. I guess the actor didn't fit the books' description.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I liked the other uhh...whatever his name is, the guy that likes Danaerys. The new one doesn't stand out. I guess the actor didn't fit the books' description.

Some speculation is that he left because he's going to be the lead in a Transporter reboot.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I would've guessed they changed him because he looked like a huge goofy idiot.

[Hanso Amore]

YEah he was totally gender indeterminate

[Requiem]

Neither actor fits the books description. Biggest fail in casting/wardrobe/makeup in the whole show, except for not casting Strong Belwas at all.

[VSG]

Ya, still not over the whole Strong Belwas absence.

[Innovator]

Great trial scene. Tyrion was crushed with the Shae reveal. Total swerve.

[Hanso Amore]

Tyrian totally cut a program on the authority.

Mace tyrell is a stooge.

Bet tyrion wins trial by combat and starts a YES movement.

[Lock Jaw]

Sweet promo from Tyrion at the end there. He has snapped and is in the zone.

Trial by Combat III should be a good event.

[Krimzon7]

Oh man...I love Tyrion's monologue(I almost said his 'heel promo' but I won't conform). He is defiant to the end. Love the last shots of All of the Lannisters in the staredown.

[Hanso Amore]

TBC 3?

Bronn taught for Tyrion.....what was 2?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The Hound Vs. Beric Dondarrion.

[ClockShot]

Liking this turn of the corner Jamie Lannister is doing. Curious if he's gonna fight for Tyrion next week. But it'll probably someone unexpected.


The Greeks called. They want the Colossus of Rhodes depiction back Braavos stole from them.

[Heisenberg]

I know you're not supposed to root for him, but Ramsay Snow is awesome. I don't like how they showed compassion with him washing Reek. He is one of the truly evil characters of this realm.

[Lock Jaw]

Thought it was stretching things a bit that he is able to jump into an armed fray with men wearing armor while wearing no shirt, and not get grievously wounded.

[Hanso Amore]

I don't hi k that was compassion it was further manipulation

Plus he can very well send reek as tehon covered in shit now can he

[Heisenberg]

Ser Davos standing up to the Iron Bank was pretty funny to me. Stannis needs to settle down and let his lackey do the talking for him

[Hanso Amore]

I feel like they want us to get behind Stan his but he leaves nothing to like. He's creepy, weird, a crazy religious nut, with a weird family.

Then we get Davios who is amazing....what does he see in Stannis?

[Krimzon7]

This is a great question.

[Innovator]

I just realized how brutal the trial by combat is going to be for non-readers

[Brigstocke]

Cannot fucking wait for the (Fucking Massive) swerve at the Trial by Combat next week. Seriously come on.....after all the intelligence and guile that Tyrion has shown he has in his possession...you think hes gonna get his brother to fight for his life with his weak hand?

Give yer head a shake lad.

[Hanso Amore]

Would love to see Tyrion vs....... SER POUNCE

[Brigstocke]

I don't want to spoil anything non-readers... but next weeks episode if the show sticks to the storyline of the books could very well be the best episode yet.

NEXT SUNDAY AT WWWESTEROS PAYBACK!!!

[Innovator]

I see Stannis and Davos being akin to Edge being part of the Brood with Gangrel. Edge was subservient to him while outclassing him in every category. It's only a matter of time before management sees that.

[Brigstocke]

I think the Davos hype will die down quickly. He's got the sympathy heat Right Now because he's learned to read but The Red Woman is too good as a Heel Authority figure... Theres a glass ceiling that upjumped commoners just can't break through.

[Krimzon7]

I don't want to spoil anything non-readers... but next weeks episode if the show sticks to the storyline of the books could very well be the best episode yet.

NEXT SUNDAY AT WWWESTEROS PAYBACK!!!

The cast did such a great job of hitting all of the nuances during the trial. I watched this episode with a friend and he called the swerve fucking perfectly. He would lose in Tipsters, but the fact that he got the swerve right was awesome.

[Fignuts]

I know you're not supposed to root for him, but Ramsay Snow is awesome. I don't like how they showed compassion with him washing Reek. He is one of the truly evil characters of this realm.

It's not compassion at all. He needs Theon to pretend to be his old self again. He can't do that looking like a smelly mess.

Was all a part of Ramsay's plan.

[Heisenberg]

I don't want to spoil anything non-readers... but next weeks episode if the show sticks to the storyline of the books could very well be the best episode yet.

As fast as they did the trial bit I wouldn't be surprised if it goes down next week, week after for sure.

It's not compassion at all. He needs Theon to pretend to be his old self again. He can't do that looking like a smelly mess.

Was all a part of Ramsay's plan.

My client, Reek, defeated his sister's plan of rescue.

My client, Reek, has taken a bath

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Book 4 and 5 knowledge spoiler ahead champions..



Does Asha's failure to capture Theon re-set the King's Moat storyline?

[Blitz]

Every week here on out has something huge happening, I believe.

[Blitz]

Season is really weird but good also.

[VSG]

They definitely changed that whole thing, but the overall effect should be the same as what happens in book 5. The only change would be Theon going to Moat Cailin for a different reason. I just think they could have introduced Victarion here and be set for the Kingsmoot.

WTF Guy....I know my role... carry on with those accusations and I'll fucking Tears of Lys you into oblivion.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I dunno, I'm not too fussed about spoilers since I'm not that involved in the show, but even saying stuff like "who Tyrion gets to fight for him will be a massive twist" could be seen as a bit of a spoiler. Like, now I know to expect a twist like Ghost Sean Bean will come and shag the arse off someone to free the dwarf lad. It's whatever to me, but someone else could maybe be annoyed by that? I dunno. They all talk like ponces anyway.

[Triple A]

even saying stuff like "who Tyrion gets to fight for him will be a massive twist" could be seen as a bit of a spoiler.

yea

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, hate when people say stuff like that. It is still a spoiler. Don't even want to know there is a twist.

Book Spoilers:
Not like it is even a massive twist or anything. Pretty easy to see coming.

Also, while I am already talking about book spoilers, I wonder what they are doing with Ser Jorah. By this time in the books, Dany had already exiled him from her company. I have a feeling that this week's small council with Tywin asking for some quill and parchment will lead to Jorah's downfall.

[VSG]

I kinda laughed when Jorah Mormont was described as a seasoned war veteran.

[Fignuts]

Probably should just let this go. Not even post it. But I'm not in a great mood so fuck it.

When RP posted a fairly big spoiler for Avengers, a bunch of people were pissed.

A lot of people thought it was funny, and that others shouldn't be upset about it. But the same people who thought it was funny would be pretty pissed if I came in and spoiled Game of Thrones for them.

Seems like fucking bullshit to me.

[Triple A]

:roll:

[Fignuts]

Keep it up. Wanna know who dies in Book 5?

[Triple A]

I don't even remember what happened with RP/Avengers. I don't remember finding it "funny" that he posted spoilers? I vaguely remember people "flipping out" and demanding I ban him forever and stuff which I may have "brushed off" as "annoying" if anything

Please go fuck you're self....

[Fignuts]

Doesn't matter. Just needed to say it.

Nothing matters anymore.

[Triple A]

Pls refresh my memory of me finding it "funny" and I will apologize 2 u...

Until then FUCK YOU..

Next week should be hype, though. Hopefully we get a cool video package before the big Red Viper/Mountain match.

[Heisenberg]

Are we getting an episode next week? Preview said in 2 weeks

[Lock Jaw]

Damn. Looks like no. Wikipedia says next ep is June 1st.

[Triple A]

Why, Memorial Day or something... Is that it... seems stupid

[Triple A]

In the book does it graphically describe sex seen w daenerys and dario... Wanted to see her naked breasts

[RoXer]

HBO has been doing this during every Memorial Day since The Sopranos it seems. Probably longer. I don't know why, its not like people aren't going to watch. If anything, MORE people would watch you would think.

Or maybe they air some patriotic movie on Sunday night. I dunno.

Didn't Behind The Candelabra air last memorial day? I think so.

[Lock Jaw]

In the book does it graphically describe sex seen w daenerys and dario... Wanted to see her naked breasts

Read somewhere that the actress doesn't want to do any more nude scenes

[ClockShot]

Yeah. The Normal Heart is on next week. Been hyping it for a few weeks now. Right before the show began each week they'll air a trailer for it.

[Heisenberg]

In the book does it graphically describe sex seen w daenerys and dario... Wanted to see her naked breasts

Some twisted perversion during one of the scenes, the Jaime/Cersei lockup by Joff's lifeless body in the audiobook I listened to. The old guy that narrates goes way too into it. Definitely a cringeworthy performance.

[Heisenberg]

Powerful scene showing the return of The Mountain. Very effective vignette and looks like he is ready to go in his match with The Red Viper that we have to wait 2 weeks for.

Melisandre(sp?)(my pee pee?) preparing for an awesome voyage by taking a bath in front of the Queen. My wrestling fan self thought that Davos was going to be caught in the dark corner getting his rocks off, only to catch a Rock Bottom from Stannis to end out a somewhat calm taping of WWesteros Smackdown!

Either a big ass sword or Lena Headey is tiiiiiiny

[Jura]

The dude is about 6'9" and she is 5'5" so I'm guessing the sword is almost 65 inches long and the guard and hilt were probably made to fit his huge hands so it's bigger than normal. Swords back then were probably between 45 to 50 something inches long.

[RoXer]

Swords back then

Ah yes.

Back when dragons roamed the lands

[XL]

Lol. Had a similar exchange with a friend the other day.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

What, wasn't a big deal made about who was going to fight for Tyrion? Who cares if it's some guy introduced like 3 episodes ago?

[Jura]

Ah yes.

Back when dragons roamed the lands

Really? If you think I was saying "back then" as a reference to Game of Thrones being non-fiction then you are mistaken. I guess swords don't exist in real life. The influence of swords in almost every show or movie must be pure imagination. GoT is obviously influenced heavily by Medieval times of which I was referring to when I said "back then".

[The Mask]

What, wasn't a big deal made about who was going to fight for Tyrion? Who cares if it's some guy introduced like 3 episodes ago?

Shitty writing, innit.

[Lock Jaw]

What, wasn't a big deal made about who was going to fight for Tyrion? Who cares if it's some guy introduced like 3 episodes ago?

He was introduced at the beginning of the season. But yeah, someone mentioned something about the "twist" of who was going to fight for Tyrion.

Not such a huge twist that the guy who wants to kill The Mountain will go ahead and fight him.

Though I guess in the show it is more of a "twist" because Bronn was still around. In the books he was already off married.

[Heisenberg]

I think they flipflopped the visits that Tyrion received between Pod/Bronn, idk.

It's a "twist" in the sense that Oberyn Martell hates and wants to kill all Lannisters, so the idea of him defending a Lannister in any sense is "unexpected."

[Hanso Amore]

I was thinking they should show Tyrian in the back with Scott Norton.

Scott, did you hear what the mountain guy was saying about your mother?

[Heisenberg]

I don't know why, but I thought GoT creative was going to book some extra to appear after the main event trial combat and shit their pants to further stress the events that went down. It would have took the edge off a little

[El Capitano Gatisto]

This show really sets some really good stuff set alongside some really awful stuff, it's really jarring at times.

However, the gratuitous scene of Missandei's jubblies and bum was top class.

[Heisenberg]

They were way better than the bar scene. Those wenches were dirty and burping. That's probably how they were tracked down and burned to the ground

Ya, never expected Missandei to have such a fabulous ass. Can't blame GreyWorm one bit.

That was sweet. That guy did nothing of interest for 7 episodes then in like 30 seconds of fighting and trash talking I instantly cared and wanted him to ideally not get his head squashed. Too bad. Hope they don't kill off Tyrion. Dumb if they do.

I have not seen a single episode of this show, I feel like an outcast.

Well get on it or you will be condemned to the Night's Watch.

[RoXer]

He doesn't know what that means.

[Lock Jaw]

Finally got the chance to watch the last episode.

I remember being pretty indifferent to Oberyn Martell in the book, but the actor did such a great job that I love him now..... very sad to see him go.

Book Spoilers:
Also in the book, I generally cared zero about anything happening in Dorne.... find myself excited now, though, to see Dorne in the TV show.

Is this the only GoT episode that wasn't segmented with other storylines?

[Lock Jaw]

Season two had an entire episode about Stannis' attack/the battle of the Blackwater/King's Landing.

[Triple A]

Sucks that the season is over already next week....... this season felt mad rushed or something. Feels like way more stuff happened in past seasons also

I want a gif of that kid shooting Ygritte and then nodding with pride afterwards.

giants were cool

[Hanso Amore]

Thought it was lame when the rate giant hulkef up and just lifted the gate that multiple giants and a mastodon couldn't break.

Can't believe that Andre the giant ended up losing the tunnel handicap match again the shield.

Jon vs kurgan was a good fight. Jon came down kicking some ass. Dude is becoming the man after a few seasons I hated him.

Wall anchor was killer. I want one for my house,

I want a spin off with elevator boy - kind of a medieval Bruce Wayne avenging his parents death.

Hate sam and his whore story.

The berserker had like 5 arrows in him and was still fighting. Tossing ser Allison overt he top rope for the count out.

[Requiem]

Actor who plays Grenn was really underrated. His acting in the tunnel was brilliant. You could just see the fear in his eyes, and his speech was really heartfelt. I teared up when the giant was charging, because I knew what it would mean. Whole episode was brilliant.

As a book reader, I was pleasantly surprised by the combination of both wall attacks. They handled it really well, and it worked in a way that didn't ruin anything.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Thought that was all a bit boring for me, to be honest. Whole episode dedicated to a part of the story I don't care about at all. Some good action stuff obviously, but none of it really meant anything to me because they could've blown up every single person/giant/bald thing there and I'd have shrugged.

Like Triple A said, whole of season 4 seems to have gone by really quickly without anything really happening. Obviously that's an exaggeration but it seems to have just plodded along for 9 episodes.

[VSG]

Joffrey's death, Tyrion's death sentence, Daenerys capturing all of Slaver's Bay wasn't enough? Remember this was half a book and there are still an episode left.

[ClockShot]

I wonder if Kit Harrington got some mad overtime pay for this episode? When the credits rolled during the opening and only like 5 names appeared, I was like whoa.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

All the Joffrey stuff which lead into the Tyrion stuff was great. Everything else very boring (again exaggerating as there's been some great scenes here and there).

I'm underselling the show a lot, I'm aware of that. It looks great and it's extremely well acted etc etc but it has a huge tendency to have 30 minutes of dreary, boring, interchangeable characters blabbering on and 20 minutes of amazing television each episode.

[Requiem]

While I can see some of what you're saying as far as this season goes, this episode was anything but boring. Dunno how you can't be interested in what's going on at the wall. They're the unsung heroes of Westeros. You're falling into the same trap that the rest of Westeros has. Nobody there gives a shit about the wall, or their plights, struggles, or drama. But their struggle is the most real of anyone's. This episode was a way to show how legends are MADE, while the rest of the show has been about legends that already exist, or that already had their day in the sun.

We got to see two living legends duel to the death last episode, which ended in disappointment. While the lords of Westeros are playing their games, enjoying feasts and laughing amongst each other while painting Tyrion as their scapegoat, we get to see who the real men of Westeros are. The real heroes.

We see a group of forgotten boys and criminals, fighting not only for their lives and the lives of their brothers, but for all of Westeros. We got to see a boy fight a hulking monster of a man (Jon vs the Magnar), and come out alive on the other side. No disappointing end like the Viper vs Mountain fight. We get to see real retribution when Jon buries the hammer in the Magnar's skull. We see an army of a hundred thousand wildlings fighting for their own survival, and a cause they believe in wholeheartedly. Versus a group of dwindling soldiers who forsake their own desires in the name of brotherhood and sacred oaths.

Grenn dying in that tunnel like that was one of the most noble deaths in all the series up to now. His conversation with Jon when Jon sends him down there, and then the pause where Jon says that he has to hold the tunnel no matter way, was heart wrenching. You knew right then that Jon was ordering him to his death, but that it was for all of their benefits, because Grenn was the only one Jon could trust to get it done. Grenn was ready to die out of loyalty to Jon and his brothers, while Janos Slynt was the polar opposite and was off cowering in fear because he wasn't a true brother of the Night's Watch.

We get to see the different kinds of men that populate Westeros, in all the different places, in all walks of life. Even Alliser Thorne had his moment, going from someone we all hated, to someone you can't help but respect after his speech to Jon. Then we see how wholeheartedly he gives himself to defending The Wall when he throws himself fiercely at Tormund Giantsbane. He is a brother of the Night's Watch and takes his vows seriously.

I honestly thought this was one of the most well done episodes of the whole show, on so many levels and regardless of the liberties taken in things changed from the books (of which there were quite a few).

[VSG]

lol this was supposed to be THE episode of the season too.

[Nark Order]

The only thing I don't care about in the least is Bran's storyline. I guess Hodor beasting that guy was pretty sweet though.

[VSG]

The only thing I don't care about in the least is Bran's storyline.

They haven't introduced a cool character yet. Hopefully he doesn't get Strong Belwas'd.

[Requiem]

Pretty sure he's gonna get Strong Belwas'd. Definitely would have made Bran's story a lot cooler. But then again, in the books, not a lot was happening with him.. for very long periods of time. As long as they don't give the Belwas treatment to Lady Stoneheart all will be fine.

[The Mask]

Hated this episode, boring as shit. Sad to see ygritte go tho.

[Miotch]

what a dickhead

[BigDaddyCool]

Wait, is Allister Throne dead or wounded? I was unclear.

[Lock Jaw]

Thought he was dead

[ClockShot]

Wounded I thought. Took him below to get treated.

[Lock Jaw]

The official Game of Thrones tv show wiki says he was just wounded. I rescind my R.I.P.

[BigDaddyCool]

Kinda pissed they killed Grenn and Pyp.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, that surprised me.... they were some of the only "names" at The Wall. Solid mid-card players.

[Heisenberg]

I can't settle my body vessel down when I watch this show. I do watch late at night and I have to lay a certain way or else my body moves around on it's own.

They should've shown the guys holding the gate putting the Giant through a table and then rushing out the gate into the fray. It looked kind of sloppy to cut out and have Jon Snow find everyone dead at the end.

[Requiem]

Nah, that was the only way they should have done it. They left Grenn and the brothers as legends, dying while defending the gate from the king of giants. If they had shown it it would have just been another fight. Leaving it like that was a thing of beauty. You saw the fear in their eyes as the giant bore down on the them, and you just instantly know what happened.

[Heisenberg]

I am grateful it wasn't comedic in the sense of having the giant drop that gate on them.

[Tazz Dan]

I started watching this show 2 weeks ago, and have just got up to date with this weeks episode. Haven't read this thread yet, just wanted to say that it's a great fucking show, and I'm pissed I took so long to get onboard with it.

[VSG]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/dvoBl1158Gg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Oh fuck off, looks like he got Strong Belwas'd after all.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, that fucking sucks.

[BigDaddyCool]

What does getting Strong Belwas'd mean? I can see a few different possible meanings.

[VSG]

Getting cut from the show

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What do you mean by emphasizing He? I thought we were talking about a certain she.

[VSG]

Post 1201

[Lock Jaw]

Don't really care about Strong Belwas being cut, or he.

Neither really added anything. Though I see he maybe being important in future books, which means he will make it to the show eventually if he actually does turn out to do anything important.

[VSG]

lol I can totally see AAA flipping out about him being referred such. Also, fuck you- he was/is one of the coolest characters in the book both literally and figuratively.

[Lock Jaw]

Nah

[Corporate CockSnogger]

"The books"

[Lock Jaw]

Tonight's the night.

[Requiem]

Strong Belwas was a badass. The fact that Ser Barristan Selmy chose to disguise himself as the guy's squire speaks loads about how good Belwas is. Mother fucker allows his enemies to cut him once before he slaughters them.

Taken from the wiki of ice and fire.

When Daenerys besieges Meereen, Oznak zo Pahl rides out of the city on a white charger with a fourteen foot lance, challenging the besiegers to send forth a champion. Daenerys decides that Belwas is perfect since she can easily spare him, his death as an ex-slave would not give Oznak prestige, and a defeat to an ex-slave would be an insult. Belwas wounds Oznak's horse in the duel, leading to a sword fight. Belwas allows himself to be wounded in the stomach before he kills Oznak, severs his head, and holds it up high for those in Meereen to see. The defenders of the city fire arrows, but Belwas is too far away. He squats to defecate towards the city, wipes himself on Oznak's cloak, loots the corpse and kills the horse.

Later in the siege, Strong Belwas, Ser Barristan Selmy, Ser Jorah Mormont and twenty other men enter Meereen though the sewers to take the city. Some of the freedmen in the group are afraid of the huge rats until Belwas bites one of them in two. When they enter the city, Belwas leads the group to the nearest of the fighting pits, where they raise the fighting slaves to revolt, enabling Daenerys Targaryen to take the city. Later, when Daenerys dismisses Ser Jorah from her service, Belwas drags him out of her throne room.

He is later made a part of her queen's guard and is no less of a badass there either.

"The books"

Just finished "the books" last night. (https://twitter.com/_at_hashtag/status/478062060883177472)I can spoil everything for you if you like.

That 4th book took me an entire year to get through. The last one only took 2 months. God that 4th one is fucking bitch.

5th one also suffered from a lot of useless bullshit but was loads better and more entertaining than the 4th. It also ends on a lot of cliffhangers but I've read that "GRRM" is planning on resolving them in like the first chapter of the next one.

The next book HAS to be out this year. Right?

[RoXer]

If it's not than there is no way all of the books will be released before the series finishes.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

What happened to the bloke who helped Arya changed his face. Seems like a strange thing to just have him do that then disappear forever.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Why not make him a main character rather than Jon Snow.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Prob gonna have to wait a week or so to watch the last episode. Don't think I'll have time tomorrow.

[RoXer]

What happened to the bloke who helped Arya changed his face. Seems like a strange thing to just have him do that then disappear forever.

He doesn't come into play anymore but the group he belonged to does.

[RoXer]

You're going to try and go a whole week on the internet without the last episode being spoiled?

Good luck with that.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I won't be on the internet much next week. I guess if something got spoiled it wouldn't be the end of the world. Actually, could watch it instead of Iran vs Nigeria match tomorrow. Dunno, have to see. Been a poor season anyway, not as desperate to see it as previous seasons.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Lol just read that uk soap actress and "#1 sexiest woman in the world" according to pretty much every British poll in the last 3 years, Michelle Keegan, wants to get a part on Game of Thrones and would even do a naked scene.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Jura is googling her to post some pictures right now.

[Heisenberg]

stay off Twitter then Lord Iginfest, the spoilers will bleed from the cracks

[VSG]

He doesn't come into play anymore but the group he belonged to does.

Pretty sure it is him in the prologue of book 4 at the Citadel where Sam is now at.

[Innovator]

Pretty brutal battle between Brienne and The Hound tonight as well.

[Immortal Moose]

Hmm that had never occurred to me. Good catch.

[Lock Jaw]

One thing about the ending,

Book Spoiler
I didn't like that the reveal about Tysha, Tyrion's first wife was left out. I mean, I can understand it, I guess. He did mention it on the show, but it was so many seasons ago that the tv viewers probably don't remember/care anymore.

If I recall correctly, though, Jamie reveals to him his role in it, and that it was a lie that Tysha was a whore... which is what sets him off. Feels like a much more powerful motivator, and he is also left hating Jamie.

[Heisenberg]

Kept my mouth shut all week about the harsh events that would come on an airing of GoT: Father's Day edition

[Lock Jaw]

Ha ha, didn't even realize the irony of this airing on Father's Day.
