  1. We're getting the Umbers next year it seems. So the North will be getting some non-Bolton representation. Maybe they can explain how Ramsay pulled the army out of his ass too.

    The sellsworfs defected. Pretty sure that's what happened. Frey pies would be awesome. Still have to have north do *something* next before shit hits fan in season 7.

    Please rewatch episode 408. The Boltons have a good sized army. That had already been established.

  2. I didn't see it mentioned, but there is one several second shot that I really liked. It was when we see Jon, Tormund, and Edd running to the docks. They are running towards the camera, and we see Wun Wun running behind them holding his log. Loved that shot with the music playing in that moment.


  3. I didn't see it mentioned, and I made a topic but it hasn't been approved yet so I'll ask here.

    When Tyrion is talking about their terrible fathers and telling Danny she has no living blood to support her, he also mentions and the Starks are gone; thanks to their terrible fathers was he telling her the Starks could have been allies?

    I think he was just listing off a bunch of the major houses.

  4. Shireen continuing to fight the most noble war in Westeros the war against illiteracy, I don't understand why Sam and Jon didnt mention the fact they know Bran is alive and the legit heir to Winterfell that just stank for me to be honest. The round table committee in Esos was stupid but the execution scene was good, Drogon looked great

    Sam told Jon about Bran last season and even led a party to Craster's Keep in hopes of finding him. He didn't. What is Jon supposed to say? "I heard that he is alive but never found him"? As far as Jon knows Bran might be dead. Bran went north of the Wall, I wound't blame Jon for thinking that his brother croaked.

    Did i miss something in t he sansa/brienne scene. Cause i don't really understand what led to her fighting.

    Overall decent episode though. I liked Doran.

    Littlefinger suggested that Brienne stay because it is dangerous alone on the road. Clearly he wanted her killed. Brienne realized this too and wasn't going to cooperate.

    I was hoping to see Quaithe at the end of this episode. Is she coming back on the show? I thought her appearances in ADWD were nice and spooky

    I am positive that we will never see Quaithe again.

    Book plots thrown out the window en-force this week. Very strange episode from my perspective.

    Do you just watch the show to compare it to the books? Seems like a waste.

    Selyse's "You have no idea what people will do" had a particularly ominous ring to it with all the speculation about Shireen getting burned this season.

    Weird that Stannis pronounced Lyanna Mormont's name as "Lye-anna" as opposed to "Leanna."

    People pronounce words differently within the same country all the time. Not sure how that is weird.

    Again, does trauma get your brain transplanted? We are talking here about 2 completely different characters. Plus, do you remember her being there when Oberyn says they don't hurt little girls in Dorne?

    You're right, I don't remember Ellaria being there when Oberyn tells Cersei that they don't hurt little girls in Dorne. I probably don't remember that because she wasn't there. Oberyn was writing a poem, walked with Cersei, mentioned the Sand Snakes during his walk. Is the scene coming back to you now, because you clearly don't remember the scene that you are talking about. Or did you get a transplant?

    ...while she watched on in horror, as well.

    And what was she like "last season"? When did she espouse any non-violent policies? You can't say "Well, Oberyn said this"...because she's NOT Oberyn and there's no reason to hold her to his words.

    Basically, she was Oberyn's arm candy last season...who looked on as he so nonchalantly stabbed a man in the wrist for singing the Lannister song and then started passionately kissing him afterwards. So yeah, I don't see any contradictions in her character AS PRESENTED in the show.

    Thank you!

    Well, the mere fact that Oberyn said what he said is important. Because, when you are avenging the person, you kinda don't want to prove that whatever he said is a BS. The contradiction is that Ellaria this season is so different from those moments we had about her. Even the aesthetics is hilariously serving to this. Ellaria was the one who tried to calm down Oberyn when he heard Rains, and let him harm them after they insulted both of them. This new Ellaria makes no sense to narrative. Which is why you don't fuse multiple characters without actually thinking it through. I guess this season we won't be hearing complaints about show being ignored by any sensible critic.

    Yes, Ellaria tried to calm Oberyn down...back when he had eyes and a head to put them in. If we as book readers are to accept that Cat can release Jaime and send Brienne on a ridiculous mission to King's Landing to get her daughters back, how is it difficult to believe that Ellaria will be angry after her lover's death?

    Not sure how to reconcile that Brianne dismissed looking for Arya because she declined her help then shifts to following Sansa further North to protect her for her own good. Pod was still charmingly useful and incompetent in the same episode.

    Arya abandoned her with no trail, while Brienne has something to follow for Sansa. Also, for the people who ask why Brienne didn't bring up her meeting with Arya to Sansa: What could she have said that would have convinced Sansa of her meeting? Nothing.
