Jon looked noticeably nervous and hesitant - even his posture seemed stoop-shouldered.  It's as if he doesn't know how to talk to people other than Crows or Wildlings if he's not Lord Commander anymore.  And why isn't Ghost at Jon's side as the personification of the Stark sigil?

 

 
 

showrunner probably don't want to use Ghost until it's absolutely nessacery

Can I just say that people are gushing over Lyanna Mormont when in fact her character made absolutely no sense in the scene? The actress was okay, but the characters' whole claim to fame was her loyalty to the Starks, and then the writers have to retcon that to be a lie so as to serve their nonsensical plot?

Okay, I get that in the extremely literal interpretation of the letter she wrote, Sansa and Jon are not 'Starks.' I can accept that you would not want to follow them, especially since neither one makes much of a leader.

But Jon literally turns around and says, 'we need to save Rickon Stark,' and thats when she basically says, 'not my problem' until Davos has to convince her about the White Walker threat?

Huh?

Maybe this is a sign that he changed a bit waits only the right time

Sorry, wasn't supposed to be a quote but no idea how to get rid of the quote window.

Just a thought: DeeDees could only bring The Hound back like that, in a very sketchy way, any more attention on the Septon/EB, redemption, sins, peace etc. would put The Hound too close to that bad, bad thing religion. (The only advantage of that would be no chance for The Hound being a faith champion in Carol's trial.) Plus, his badassery would suffer, and we cannot have that, can we? No single better thing than badassery (with tits, kinslaying and cock jokes close behind).

I am now establishing a Fuck Davos Club. Fuck the man who left Shireen to die and has forgotten her.  The little princess who taught him to read.  Fuck you Davos.  Seriously.

Well, FU Ser Davos, for sure.  Ser Davos is a show-only creation.

Meanwhile, Lord Davos, beloved of the books, is retrieving Rickon from Skagos, both of them safe from the disaster that is D&D's Northern plot.

Thanks for this.  Just so we can all re-orient ourselves to True North!

This is why Jon needs Ghost rolling with him. nothing reminds people about that Stark pride like a living breathing symbol of that pride. 

We're not allowed any direwolves - just ridiculous castles that bear no resemblance to the castles used previously. :/

Yet Jon walked straight past the mountain clans without trying to get them on board for the battle. there will be no Wulls, Flints, or Buckets fighting for The Ned's children

I'd've loved to hear Big Bucket wanting to bathe in Bolton blood for the Ned's little girl. :crying: :bawl:

Arya: I'm wondering if Arya was being played by the Sansa actress with a face from the Hall ... she was very arrogant when throwing the money around, and she didn't have needle.  Just a thought.  (Probably reading too much into it - I should know by now that WYSIWYG with the show.)

I'm just pleased that Marg ain't sleeping with Tommen any more! That because she is disgusted with the weak little King and what's worse is that he has already whinged to the High Sparrow about it! What a King! What a guy! Worse character ever!!

In season 3, Sansa was to be married to Willas, I'm almost certain.

I think you're right.

The only imaginable way of dying for show Willas would be falling into one of the numerous plot holes :(

Edit: this show is so forgettable :huh:

For as important as the interaction was on camera, she could easily have been with a male prostitute.  But that would have eliminated a scene of a girl kissing another girl's breasts.

I wish the showrunners were aware of this thing called the internet where porn is prevalent and they don't need to make such changes.

Isn't she in Volantis? Where the sex workers are slaves?  I don't care if Yara is a lesbian but it does bother me that they have a woman who really is quite "empowered" have a lesbian scene in a brothel where the workers are slaves and ... So I guess you're only empowered and a badass if you are a rapist? But I am probably giving too much credit for them thinking this through.

this choice seems to be less about representation, and more about titillation.

They had a guidebook in the earlier seasons.  They're largely flying by the seat of their pants now.  Blame no one but GRRM for not wanting to write.

They still have a guidebook because they're essentially redoing Feast and Dance - 90% of what happened in this episode is from those two books. They just did the storylines out of order after butchering the characters so it makes no sense ...

This was a bad one (ripping the Riverrun scenes from the books was the only saving grace... well it was cool to see the Hound again, Clegane Bowl is clearly happening).

 

It seems Arya learned something from the Hound.  If you are in a situation of critical and immediate danger, just continue living your life casually and assume nothing bad will happen.  Of course, in her case, she knew the feared across the world assassins guild would send someone who would fail to kill her despite being allowed to walk up and stab her uncontested.  It would have fit that scene if "sharks with fricking laser beams" had swam by in the canal.

 

The Greyjoy kids have plenty of time to whore and make cock jokes.  Euron has to be 1000 ships.  That will take at least a week using their +5 drydocks of bad writing.

 

We need a poll for the "most wasted" actor to appear on this show.

Ian McShane

Ciaran Hinds

Who else?

I loved how Olenna was APPALLED that Cersei had her two grandchildren imprisoned and even SMILED, she is just the worst person EVAH... Does that woman even remember she killed Joffrey? Because that scene didn't look like it was meant to be ironic.

The Hound didn't hear the massacre, they didn't hear the wood chopping.

Lyanna Mormont is such a brat.

They didn't do the broken men speech well.

The Freys look like inbred orcs.

Jaime just cannot stop being Larry, even in Riverlands.

Two cock jokes.

Wait so Jon says they sent ravens to the other houses to get their support, but an episode or so ago Sansa said they couldn't send a raven to Riverrun because Ramsay might intercept it.

Bullshit excuse to get Brienne to Riverrun is bullshit.
