  1. I'm actually glad they didn't let it get to the point of Stark being mentioned. This needs to be a key that doesn't unlock anything until Sam and Bran get together.
  2. I've a feeling that Arya and Sansa are playing LF, and the convo in the parents' room is part of the con.
  3. No, kicking Arya to the ground wouldn't be an injuring blow. A training sword to the head or other parts of the body would. She absolutely held back until she saw that Arya could defend herself, and incidentally, the swift kick came upon that realization..
  4. You really are dense and argumentative. You are saying if Arya needs protection she is a spoilt child like Joffrey. Brienne would be the one holding back to protect her, and that is NOTHING like how Joffrey was coddled.
  5. Apple and orange. Brienne is a powerful fighter, and was reasonably concerned that she would PHYSICALLY injure a person half her size. With Joffrey, the concern was with hurting his enormous but fragile ego, and particularly with the possible real consequences of hurting his ego.
  6. Wife of John wouldn't be Lady Stark. She already learned in Crossroads that Jon SNOW is KitN. It remains that Rickon could have married. Bran is still too young, no?
  7. "There's something I have to tell you, Jon. I'm kind of a freak, I don't burn." "Good to know, dear. You should also know that I am your nephew. Oh, and I died and was brought back to life by blood magic. Now let's get you out of that nightie!
  8. If Jon shows up with a bottle of red hair dye from Walgreen's and offers it to Dany, you know it's finalized.
  9. I gave it an 9 when I first voted. I've watched it back 4 times since. I underrated it. I realize now that the major thing I didn't like about it was a character error, not a writing or directing error. I agree it's a 10, and I'm likely to watch it several times more.
  10. I will say with certainty that this episode has sparked more conversation and debate than any other episode in a long time. Perhaps since Jon's murder.
  11. Nah, if they showed him captured, they lose their cliffhanger.
  12. This is exactly what happened. I'm not sure the writers did a good job of conveying the location. They did mention needing to make it through the Blackwater bog (or whatever exact term Tully used), which gave me a sense they were near to KL, but I think they could have made it more clear for the audience. "We should get through and be in KL by tomorrow midday" or something to that effect.
  13. A thought.......they have all this obsidian..... Someone needs to figure out how to create weapons from it.... They happen to know a blacksmith, if they can only find him.....
  14. You get it. Edit: I misread your statement, which was errant. Cersei will get it and pay the bank. They will still betray her. Because dragons.
  15. So you have how many thousands Dothraki? And a very destructive dragon. Why even risk the Dothraki? You've got them dead to right with the dragon. And why put all three dragons at risk when only one is going to engage? Oh, and Littlefinger is so.....dead.
  16. I think Mance Rayder had more influence on Jon's philosophy and leadership style than anyone else. Jon seems to be importing North of the Wall political sensibility to Westeros. Bending the knee wouldn't be a personally humiliating thing to Jon, it would be a betrayal of those who put him in power as an independent king. For that reason, I don't think there is a scenario in which Jon will bend the knee.
  17. I'm oddly happy with the dialogue between them. I didn't even find Emilia's acting to be robotic here. She came off as a fledgling ruler coming into her sense of authority to me. The actor that plays Bran has physically grown up in a way that really suits what the character has become. Long, eerie face. Sandra did well both exuding authority and showing the emotions I would expect when she first saw Bran and when he reminded her of her ordeal. By the way, she didn't abandon him, he said he wanted to stay back. Also, they seem to have dialed Tyrion back to what he was at his best....confidently giving advice and making back-channel deals instead of being Superhero Dwarf Man.
  18. 10/10. Very well done. The battle was filmed so well that I'll even forgive the Girl Power Hour with Dany and Yara.
  19. I simply wanted him to have learned from his experience that there is a time for preaching and a time for killing. The goofballs gave him no cause to kill them.
