Shits shit indeed.

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

One thing about the ending,

Book Spoiler

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

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

How long have they planned to have that episode on Father's Day?

Wherever whores go.

Haven't seen the episode yet, but wow. That's kind of his whole motivation for doing it.

Brienne is what 3-0 now? Loras, Jamie and the Hound.

Brienne ain't nothing to fuck with

Reading the reactions to the different subreddits (/r/asoiaf and /r/gameofthrones) is fantastic

I thought Davos was going to get all up in Jon Snow's piss for not bowing to Stannis, I'm glad Stannis didn't belittle Snow.

You know Jon was looking at Melisandre thinking "Redhead. Awesome."

Castle Black Boner

Boner Beyond the Wall

Was really hoping that when the hound was at the cliff edge that briene was going to break out a Texas Tornado Discus punch. Then the hound would sell it like Mr Perfect over the cliff.

BAH GAWD

KING!

THAT'S STANNIS BARATHEON'S MUSIC!!!!!

THROUGH HELL FIRE AND RHYLORS LIGHT, STANNIS IS COMING FOR (MC)MANCE

That was sweet. Some really bad cgi though.

killing a man while hes on the thunder bucket dirty pool

You couldve at least let him finish and stand up to die properly

With the hound and Tywin dead now, I think I'm down to 4 characters I like.

Not certain the hound is dead.

Was totally hoping Shae would start talking when the camera panned slowly to her face after Dinklage choked her out.


Would have hit the floor laughing.

Finally gave in and started watching this. Finishing season one now.

Drogo is pretty black metal.

:'(

So, the Shae-Tywin thing, are we suppose to read it that they got together after all the stuff with Tyrion or are we suppose to work out that Tywin has been fucking with Tyrion from the very beginning like he did with his wife?

we are to read she is a whore, who betrayed him and got with her father.

There are a few possibilities.

One, is that Tywin is a total and complete hypocrite, who scorns his son for whoring while bedding them himself. It shows that he is just like any other man in Westeros - he has desires just like any man, and he shits, just like every other person in Westeros.

The other, is that Varys planned the whole thing. He waited until Tywin went to use the latrine, then put Shae in his bed with the necklace of the hand around her neck, for Tyrion to find. Then he gets Jaime to let him out and lead him past the area in a way that Tyrion would know exactly where he is. This would make it look as if Tywin were a hypocrite and would just look worse after the deed was done. It would also give Tyrion some much needed vengeance because only Varys knows where Tyrion is going, which is obviously far away from here.

There's also the possibility that it was a combination of these of course, Varys planned the whole thing, minus setting Shae up. It could have been Tywin's own hypocrisy that was his undoing here, while Varys at least made the connections so that it could happen under Tyrion's own will.

I read the killing of Shae in the books to be more like straight up murder than self-defense in an attack.

Oh, it definitely was. In the books, she tries to talk her way out of it, and it infuriates him even more.

I feel like that gif should have that little kid who killed Ygritte nodding at the end, not Stannis.

The hell is going on in that gif?

Looks like a skeleton stepping on landmines.

Ser Paul Davos: My Highness, Stannis Baratheon, conquered the wildling's streak. Do you know who you're talking to boyee????? //Puts on shades// **Too Cool theme** shift left, shift right, Rikishi dance, Rikishi dance. Cut my music, I can't read that well

The whole scene with the skeletons coming up through the snow was very reminiscent of a Zelda game.

that whole scene was some harry potter sh*t..

was cool though...

Jojen looked like Adam Banks from The Mighty Ducks, thought he was playing for the other team the whole time.

Kind of curious what everyone thought about that scene. I don't remember it very well from the books, but I don't recall it happening with so much flair and 'fantasy' elements. Any book readers care to catch me up on how that scene compares?

I'd almost be inclined to say it was "too far into fantasy" but in a series that's had dragons, giants, ice zombies and shadow monsters I guess it's par for the course.
