My thoughts on the orphans is that they are going to get killed as "Bran and Rickton". Just wanted to give the audience an idea of who they were after we find out that they really aren't dead.

Agree, I think it's clear the orphans given to the farmer are going to become the miller's boys.

Someone over at AV Club kept mentioning that D & D have said they aren't cutting out many characters, only shuffling around a lot of things, so it's possible Meera or Meera and Jojen will emerge in time to tell the stories and walk North with them.

I think it would be silly for Osha to have fled so fearfully from the North and then to decide to take Bran up past the Wall when he needs it. She's definitely need on Skaagos.

Well, it's not as if she wasn't in on it in the books. In fact the most common theory has her as the one who dropped the poison in the wine.

It is treason to kill one's king and petit treason to kill one's husband-if this were really a medieval setting, executions would be public and much harsher than a simple beheading and Marg took a huge risk.

He was too hot to be Damphair.

Too hot to be Damphair but not hot enough to be Euron? Ha ha ouuuch, is the Damphair supposed to be extremely unattractive? I definitely missed that.

4. This show has done a fantastic job of taking minor book characters and making them much greater. Yoren is far more awesome in the show than he was in the books, just like how Jorah Mormont turned out to be much greater as well. I'm sad to see him die, although Show-Yoren died in epic fashion.

It was amazing to me, because I JUST read the epilogue of ADWD soooo, I was like, "LOOK KEVAN! Look what someone else can do with a crossbow bolt in their chest!"

The show Yoren is so much softer and nicer though, I really prefer him. In the book he seemed brutal. And though I knew they were going to have to skip Arya/Gendry/HotPie and little Weasel on the road together to save time, to me, it didn't really feel like Jaqen Rorge and Biter were really in danger of dying if Arya didn't save them. The stable collapsing on them or dying from smoke inhalation is a huge different from just one part of the wood of their wagon catching on fire.

Aaaaand, how sad. Does this mean we won't get Hot Pie yelling 'Hot Pie'? Hopefully there's a battle at Harrenhal. That's one of the defining moments of the whole series! :laugh:

Loras says “Tyrell” with the stress on the first syllable.

Renly says “Tyrell” with the stress on the second syllable.

Curious.

Lord Commander Mormont called them 'wildings'. Sansa and Arya call her 'Are-ee-ah but Cat and Ned called her 'Are-yuh.' It happens a lot, I wish there was a consensus, but it's a small thing in the grand scheme I guess.

However, isn't Euron supposed to be smoking hot ? At least that's how he's pictured.

We didn't see Euron the Crow's Eye, we saw Aeron the Damphair ;-)

Yeah, I guess she's not a maiden afterall. I wonder if GRRM agrees.

I'm pretty convinced that the TVMargaery will be an combination of BookMargaery and BookQueenofThrones, they'll give her all the political acumen and save themselves the trouble of casting Olenna Tyrell.

Whoooa, so you think Margaery herself will plan Joffrey's murder? That would be awesome. And creepy,

I hope so....! Not looking good so far though, because I'm pretty sure the Winterfell sack is happening this season. They really need the Reed kids to build up to that and be there when it happens if they're going to use them at all.

I feel like it'll be fine if they appear as Bran and Rickon are emerging from the crypts, and had maybe been hiding in the Godswood or something. The greendreams would've let them know that they're alive. I love the Reeds, and I was really sad they weren't cast, but I don't think they've been completely written out.

I really didn't like the way Brienne spoke. It just seemed so mechanical, whereas to me Brienne is all about passion, and honour, not robotic. Hopefully she'll grow though. From the way the pacing has been going, I actually expected the 'shadow' to kill Renly in this episode, and we did see Dragonstone in the credits, but then we didn't actually go there, did we? I wonder if it got cut.
