Lord Manderly is a time traveller, confirmed

Lord Too-Fat-to-Sit-a-Horse should, however, travel a couple of years further into time and acquire a couple of Boeing B-29 Superfortress bombers and a good number of atomic bombs to nuke, among others, the Dreadfort, Casterly Rock and King's Landing.

A fat man dropping the Fat Man in defense of a little boy(-king)!

We don't have a good description - the most information we have is that they were "belching death" from the walls of Kings Landing during Stannis' attack.

From that and the name I'd guess they are primitive flamethrowers.
Something like this.

 

Thank you! 

From ADwD - Davos II:

It was not abandoned now. Davos could see scorpions and spitfires behind the standing stones, and crossbowmen peering between them. It must be cold up there, and wet.

What kind of weapon is a spitfire?

The only descriptions given are these:

Qyburn's companionship was wearing on him. Jaime trotted toward the head of the column. A round little tick of a northman name of Nage went before Steelshanks with the peace banner; a rainbow-striped flag with seven long tails, on a staff topped by a seven-pointed star. "Shouldn't you northmen have a different sort of peacebanner?" he asked Walton. "What are the Seven to you?"

ASOS, Jaime 6

 

Nage led them up a low hill, the seven-tailed peacebanner lifting and turning in the wind, the polished seven-pointed star shining bright upon its staff. 

ASOS, Jaime 7

 

As this banner associates with the Seven, the North and Iron Islands presumably use a different, albeit not described, peace banner.

Thank you very much!

"I brought you from your cell to carry my message to your cousin Cersei Lannister in King's Landing. You'll travel under a peace banner, with thirty of my best men to escort you."

Quote

The market square inside the Gate of the Gods, which in normal times would have been thronged with farmers selling vegetables, was near deserted when Tyrion crossed it. Ser Jacelyn met him at the gate, and raised his iron hand in brusque salute. "My lord. Your cousin Cleos Frey is here, come from Riverrun under a peace banner with a letter from Robb Stark."

What does such a Westerosi peace banner look like? A white flag? A Rainbow flag?

It is business usual indeed.

It's been a fabulous year for the fans an thanku westeros

Absolutely!!

Here we go!! :)

theirs still 12 minutes left fellas, calm down. GOT fashion always save things for the last 5 minutes

Indeed. They could do the same as they did with Blackwater.

So I take it this episode is a good one.

Most certainly!!

I'm thinking NOW would be a good time for Stannis to show up

Indeed!!

Quote from aFfC: "Why do you think Maester Aemon was sent to the wall when by all right he was to become an archmaester?" I highly doubt it was his own choice.

Another quote from AFfC and this one from the mouth of Aemon himself:

"The old man heard him. Though Aemon's eyes had dimmed and gone dark, there was nothing wrong with his ears. "I was not born blind," he reminded them. "When last I passed this way, I saw every rock and tree and whitecap, and watched the grey gulls flying in our wake. I was five-and-thirty and had been a maester of the chain for sixteen years. Egg wanted me to help him rule, but I knew my place was here. He sent me north aboard the Golden Dragon, and insisted that his friend Ser Duncan see me safe to Eastwatch. No recruit had arrived at the Wall with so much pomp since Nymeria sent the Watch six kings in golden fetters. Egg emptied out the dungeons too, so I would not need to say my vows alone. My honor guard, he called them. One was no less a man than Brynden Rivers. Later he was chosen lord commander.""

Aemon therefore went voluntarily to the Wall because Egg (King Aegon V) would not have allowed him to be forced.

Of course not. But the guy didn't have much to do but think atop a wall having given up dominion over an entire continent.

Maester Aemon was already very wise before he went to the Wall and his choice to take the Black is a text book example of that.

You try living to 102 as a "monk" of medieval science without gaining some wisdom.

Knowledge =/= wisdom.

Two blasts on the horn!

Wildlings!!

Here it comes.

Alright!!

Maester Aemon is wise beyond imagination.

Let's go!!

Episode summary next week says: "circumstances north of The Wall are altered by an unexpected arrival"

Sounds like Stannis to me

I hope so.

To the Wall!! :)

9.

Fucking trial you cunts!

I thought that they had reserved at least one thrid of the episode for the trial and everything that goes with it, like Tyrion attending to his champion and Oberyn's preparations.

I find it so ironic that we book readers have seen so many spoilers this season.

The joys of the tv series catching up with the books......
