chirorob Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Wow, last night. Can not believe that Rickon got turned over to Ramsey, or that his Dire Wolf is dead. That REALLY threw me. How can I hate and love a show so much? Just, wow. Really, really good episode. Seeing all the old Stark Banner Men turning on the Starks. Flashback to Ned getting to the tower, a 7-2 fight that the 2 guys almost.... win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I am digging this season a lot. I felt season 5 dragged so much and was quite boring, they've really come back with a vengeance. A looooooooot of major sh*t going down over the past 3 episodes. Happy to see Jon moving on. Him leaving threw me for a bit of a loop, as I had already had my heart set on Ramsey and Sansa arriving at the wall at the same time to find Jon.

Anytime Dinklage is in a scene, it somehow automatically becomes my favorite scene of the episode. It's no wonder some of my other favorite scenes of the series are also centered around him: the literal game of thrones in season 3 episode 3; the court scene; the scene with joffery at the battle of blackwater...

But seeing that he has been absent for a fairly long time, if he does get killed off I would expect it might be later this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Total cocktease of an episode. -ToJ scene was epic. R+L = J is finally about to be proven. Sir Arthur Dayne, worthy of his prestige - Cleganebowl is happening - Bastardbowl is happening - Jon Snow with the most epic mic drop ever - Varys will be undone by his little birds sh*tty we're gonna have to wait two weeks to see the ToJ scene most likely. Also, Bran possibly the "wind" that whispered to Jon to find the wolves? Pretty epic episode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Also by far the best part of the show now is that they've strayed from the books. Now the book idiots can't spoil sh*t for the rest of us with their LOOK I'VE READ THE BOOKS YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN nonsense. Spoiling everything for everyone just to show off they read something in print. The scourge of the Internet, these people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that I can handle another Ramsay torture sesh; although the dude that plays Ramsay might be the best actor on the entire show.

Fishooked Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 There is a new (or old) theory going around that not only that Lyanna Stark is Jon Snow's mother - but also that he has a twin sister - Meera Reed. They look alike, and they were born in the same year (according to the wiki) http://mashable.com/2015/08/28/jon-snow-fan-theory/#BV.Pazh1VGqi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiling everything for everyone just to show off they read something in print. The scourge of the Internet, these people. I've read the books and still completely agree with it being much better off that the show has strayed. With a combination of A Feast for Crows mostly being a useless pile of crap, and the show writers wanting to (justifiably) ignore a bunch of that stuff, yet still desperately trying to cling onto "hey, it's like the books, we promise!" was definitely what led to a mediocre last season with some things just being painfully forced. The show seems to be much better off having some general guidelines about the big story, and then being able to take it from there themselves.

No. Missandei and Greyworm owe everything to her. It'd make a good twist, but I don't think so. Of course, i'm wrong a lot. Rickon and Osha are.

I was watching season 1 again. I forgot what an amazing a$$hole Jamie was, how smug. How naive Sansa was. All of it. This season has been fabulous, Khaleesi acting like a queen for the 1st time in what seems like 2 years. I was thinking, if Jon and Ramsay go at it, what will the show do next. "Oh yeah, the freaking white walkers". Jon + Littlefinger vs Boltons Then (my thinking) after Jon and Littlefinger win, Littlefinger wants to solidify the north and marry Sansa, making him Lord of the North.

Amazing the transformation from Season 1 to how much I hated him to how much I like him now, after all he's been through. My wife was never into the show,so I finally convinced her to give it a chance. I agreed that I would rewatch every single episode with her. Frankly its been easier for her because I can help her with people, places, names and storylines as we go through it, because there is just so much to take in at first. It has been a wild ride all over again just seeing her reaction to everything that has happened. She has taken to the show much more than I ever thought she would; we have been powering through episodes like crazy this past month. We started sometime in late april and we're halfway through Season 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was someone who read the books, and I'm so bad with names, I had an awful time keeping people straight. I was always flipping back and forth, at least with the faces I'm a little better.

Ned kills the runaway from the Night's Watch, Robert arrives, they find the dire wolves, you see the Lannister's "together", and Jaime tries to kill a kid. Oh, and there's a dwarf in a brothel.

Tyrion brokering diplomacy in a land that knows no such thing, and then having to explain it to the two people he had on his side....amazing.

On that, the writers said that it was the first time they had ever been on screen together. If I recall correctly, even during Robert's arrival, Jon was probably not lined up with the rest of them, cuz you know...bastard status and such.

We did the same up through the first three seasons a few years back. Stopped right before the red wedding episode because it was late and she got tired, after she went to bed I couldn't help myself and watched, when I climbed into bed an hour later I couldn't sleep from being so hyped up.

My wife has a habit of nodding off (like, a lot) - and she has done this numerous times during some of the more important and jaw-dropping episodes -it was really annoying - she did this when: -Ned Stark got beheaded -Jamie gets his hand cut off -The Red Wedding -Joffrey's death -Oberyn vs The Mountain -Brienne vs The Hound I'm sure there are others, those are the most notable to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
