Stannis corrected whoever incorrectly said "less" with "fewer".

isn't jaimes line "as far south as south goes" a Tyrion line in the books?

Yep, when he's talking to the redhead in Illyrio's garden I believe.

Just watched it for a second time. Noticed in the guest starring roles during the credits that Ian Whyte was in the EP. He was the Mountain during season 2. Wonder who he played? I kinda wanna go back and see if I can spot him.

He's a giant a believe. Pretty sure he was the one in season 3 as well.

I wish all these Stannis cry babies would shut up. We needed a Gregor Clegane orgy with Ros's ghost, Ygritte, and Shae to bring the battle full circle.

I don't even but I'd totally watch that

Wasn't Kit the only name in the opening sequence?

Bradley, Murray, Leslie, and Hivju were there too.

Gave this one a 10, by the by. Although I do not consider it the best episode of the series, it's among the best, and it really beautifully put together action and character beats.

I admit, I am shocked at the reaction from those who became wholly wedded to the idea that Stannis was going to show up to save the day. Ya'll need to re-read the books and consider why GRRM decided to have the Watch successfully hold off the wildlings for awhile before Stannis's arrival. It serves a very different purpose than when the Lannister-Tyrell host saves King's Landing at the last minute (hint: where does the credit go?)

Having Stannis in the next episode is pretty accurate to rhythms of the novel, in allowing Jon and the Watch to have the full weight of their sacrifices given some meaning rather than having it undercut by a Johnny-come-lately.

Well said.

Insulted, offended, defamation of character? Come on man...it's a freaking message board.

Perhaps the lightheartedness and joking nature of that post did not come across very well to some. I can assure you, I'm not too upset. I'm a peaceful fella, don't want no anger.

I expect the same from you. I got called a fanatic by you i believe. Fanatic > Apologist.

I don't believe I addressed that directly to, but if I did, my apologies. In fact, I admire your devotion to the character. In my opinion, it's a bit silly to be as upset as some people are, but perhaps I should have chosen my words more carefully. Fanatic was the first to pop into my head but of course, it isn't the right choice. No offense intended. :cheers:

One looks at your posts and i can see that you are never insulting of anyone. :rolleyes:

I try to be as friendly as possible. I believe you owe me an apology. But I will wait until the morrow when you're calmer.

The thing is i am only engaging those posters who are always pro-D&D, no matter what. I think i didn't engage you.

Who said I am always pro-D&D? Frankly, I'm insulted and offended by your assumptions and defamation of character. I simply made a comment about the vinegar running through this place tonight and you speak these falsities about me.

So, if we don't get Stannis till next week, then what else will we have time for before the season ends? I thought Jaime would get Tyrion out of prison and Tyrion would kill Tywin and Shae before this season ends. ???

He will.

Really? I thought this place was full of "D&D are great" cult members.

Nope, just vinegar.

Man this place is full of the vinegar tonight.

Does this forum have an ignore or block feature? I would really like to not have to see the Stannis fanatics whining all week.

wrong thread :bang:

Why didn't he just stab him instead of bite him? And why was the other guy just standing there while Arya took out her sword and stabbed him?

The guy that bit him was Biter. Biting is his thing.

Liked the Arya scene, except the wound seemed so superficial - why would a guy try to grab someone from the back in the neck, and why wouldn't Arya see him coming? And how does a grab around the neck cause such a wound?

He bit him.

I'm not saying that they definitely didn't cut something, that is totally possible. I just think it's extremely unlikely that they did it in the middle of the season.

I doubt they cut anything after the Jaime and Cersei scene, considering the episode has been this runtime since the information about it was first revealed I believe. Also just because Ramsay had blood on his chest doesn't mean he killed Myranda. I'm sure Yara left guards outside that Ramsay ran into.

- Endless Theon/Ramsay scenes. I don't see the point of Theon's story arc and the sexposition/torture-position? scenes. We get it, last season was pretty clear, he loses his manhood and is a completely broken human being. Can something besides more torture and sex torture happen with these characters?

That's the nature of their relationship. It's all torture. Whether it be mental or physical, it's always torture. Asking to stop with the torture scenes is asking to cut Theon and Ramsay out of the show. At least this one introduced how Moat Cailin will happen, advancing their plot a bit.

How does Jorah know that Joff is dead all the way in Essos, but Sandor and Arya still dont know and theyre in the Riverlands?

Arya and the Hound are wandering around alone, she's thought to be dead, and they rarely run into smallfolk, so who would tell them that? They essentially have no contact with anyone.

What are people's thoughts on that lingering shot of Pyp not standing, even when Edd did? Does anybody think this will be important later? I thought it was really interesting that he stayed down and they actually showed him looking conflicted about it.

Not exactly a fan site, but I'm been doing a Tumblr blog project for my college writing class for the past week based around gender roles in Game of Thrones. Feel free to take a look and give any feedback you might have. :)
