    Overall I was happy and gave it 8/10 but the crucial reunion scenes of the episode between Jon and Arya, and Jon and Sam, felt off.  I just didn't see why Bran insisted Sam tell Jon the truth about his birth alone.  It would have made more sense for them to tell him together.

    It would kind of make sense for both of them to tell him, but why should they?

    Bran knows that Jon trusts Sam like no other. When Bran and Jon meet again, you can see that Jon notices how Bran has changed. Not 'you're a man now'  but the look afterwards, when Bran replies with 'almost'.
    Sam is someone who doesn't lie, and Jon knows it, he has seen and witnessed it far and beyond. Also, Sam has nothing to gain by telling him. Bran might....

    Perhaps there's no Maester at Castle Black now Sam has gone and Maester Aemon has died so nobody can send a raven

    It wouldn't be impossible for Castle Black to have nobody there that can read or write.
    There weren't that many knights or nobles at the wall when the story started, some of them were killed by WW's, others by a rebellion, others again by an invading wildling army.

    But it would be quite strange to have absolutely nobody there that could send a letter and/or take care of the ravens.

    The funniest modern reference so far this season was when the Lannister army men ask Arya, "Are you old enough to drink?" WTF!!!!!

    Actually, in book 1, when Sansa goes on a short roadtrip with Joffrey, she also says to him that she's only allowed 1 cup of wine at a dinner. Joffrey of course replies that she is his fiancée and that she can drink as much as she likes.

    Arya is younger then Sansa, so the question is not all that weird. Apparently, even in Westeros, people couldn't appreciate drunken kids and understood that alcohol and small children don't mix that well.

    Also, Jon may not be pleased that he isn't sitting with his siblings, this is compensated by the fact that he can now drink as much as he likes, because Ned and Cat cannot keep an eye on him.

    Well how would you know that? It could refer to anybody including people at dragonstone who may or may not have been there. :dunno: 

    It could, it they weren't discussing Vary's loyalty to the wrong king about 20 seconds earlier.

    Also, there seems to be a lot of unresolved tension in Daenerys's team and why do they want/need the rock?

    Hmm, to me, it appears they want to take the rock, to make sure that no more support (read: gold) is sent from Casterly Rock/Lannisport to Kingslanding. No money, no way to buy food. Also it does make quite a solid point to take the Rock, since it is the only real Lannister stronghold apart from Kingslanding. If Lannisters aren't able to hold the (virtually untakeable) Rock, it will show the other kingdoms that supporting the Lannisters is a lost cause.

  6. I completely forgot to introduce myself....... *Woops* :blushing:

    My name is Walter, from the Netherlands. I've read the books 2 times, planning for a third time pretty soon. of course I;ve seen the TV show and can't wait for both the new book and the season 5 (why am i so impatient).

    b.t.w. is Westeros is the UK, then I'd probably live in Braavos :cool4: .
