[Chaplain of death]

 

Several of the dorne scenes were very vague.

 

How did that big ass guard die from one stab to the back?

How was Tristan so stupid to choose to fight the weaker sister and turn his back on the stronger one?

Does the wife & her daughters feel they can rule dorne now? I heard they're all bastards or something

 

My only conclusion is that the directors wanted to conclude the dorne story as soon as. But it gets you wondering, are they still planning on coming after the Lannisters for their father & their aunt?

The woman was Prince Oberon's lover, but not his wife.  Those sisters are known as the "sandsnakes" and are the product of that relationship.  As "bastards" they should have no legal claim to the throne, but they clearly have  popularity among the military, so they could end up in charge.  Also, Dorne is not typical Westeros,  bi and homosexuality and out of wedlock births, are widely accepted there. 

 

Interesting to see the power of women increasing on the series.  I think we aren't done with Dorne.  I think there is going to be a big hairy war that will further diminish Kings Landing's ability to rule Westeros at all.  FYI, in case you forgot, Dorne is part of Westeros, but on the other side of the narrow sea so they have enjoyed much greater independence from Kings landing.

 

 

Dorne is just in the far south and isolated from the rest of Westeros. Its not actually on the other side of the Narrow sea.

I was super stoked for this episode, but after watching, left disappointed. Basically none of the main plot threads have advanced much. Jon's still dead, Deanerys is still captured, etc, etc. It's especially disappointing given that there's only like 14 more episodes left total since they're gonna cut the next two seasons down in length.

Episode 2 starts here

 

Two things learned from last night... don't make eye contact with the Mountain, and don't shoot a giant with a crossbow.

Moved your post to it's own thread Lys .

 

Last nights episode was really good, didn't expect Jon to come back so soon though.

 

What are your predictions for next week?

More death. I really love how they are slowly introducing the flashbacks, and I wonder if they will all come through Bran. Any doubts that Tyrion is actually a Targaryen? Ramsey has fully transformed into the new Joffrey... if you didn't want him to die so far, you do now. It looks like Theon is on his way home, and he doesn't know about his new responsibilities yet. Something tells me it's not gonna be easy. Arya will rapidly become a master assassin, now that she understands that it's not about her.

 

Good show!

Oh happy dance! happy dance!  Jon isn't dead.  Now here's something that bugs me, he's been dad for quite a few hours, shouldn't he have gone white walker in that time?  I realize this isn't the walking dead, but I thought you needed to burn bodies quickly when you get that far north.  I'm hoping he is fully himself.

 

Tyrian rocks the dragons!  Yay!  I want to see him ride one.  Hubby wondered why the dragons don't just melt their chains, but I think they don't have enough lead to reach the chains with their breath.

 

The bastard of Bolton (forgot name):  everybody totally saw that coming.  I guess he's the new Joffrey, only smarter.  DAMMIT Lys just posted while I'm still writing this.

 

I'll just  say I agree with Lys all around, although not convinced Tyrian is a Targaryen.  He could be, but I'm still heavily influenced by the books which give no hint of that.

 

At this point I'm ready for someone to just spear every single sparrow and bake them in a pie.

[Lysistrata]

Unlike the zombies we all know... it's not an infection that animates them, it's necromancy. I think the white walkers have to do something to make them rise. From my understanding, the Mad King had a flaming lust for Tyrion's mom. Tywin said to Tyrion that he can't prove that he is not his son. This tells me that there is truth to that. Three dragon heads on the sigil, three dragons, and three Targaryen's to ride them. Dany, Jon, and Tyrion.

 

I don't think the dragons can break the chains that Dany placed them in.

There have yet to be any walkers rising south of the wall. When the ancients built the wall to keep out the walkers, they presumably also put some form of magic into it so that it can also act as a barrier to the power of the walkers, which would also explain why he hasn't risen. 

 

With Theon and events at the pike, they are finally coming back to something that seemed (until now) to have been missed out from the books. There is a very interesting artifact that may or may not be about to emerge (those that have read the books will know exactly what I mean) that could well shape a large part of the rest of the series, so I am quite excited about that story, and interested to see how it plays out. 

[Shahenshah]

one of the best episodes of the show by far.

 

Next week, pretty clear we're going to see:

- Jon Snow parents backstory

- Bolton's gift could be Rickon?

 

Lack of white walkers is really troubling here. I feel they're the arch enemy and have the least amount of screen time, the meta is weak here.

Shussssssss lol

Isn't Jon free from all obligations to the nights watch now? Since he died doesn't that release him from his vows? 

[Imran Ehsan]

Jons revival was pretty underwhelming. I thought it would be more dramatic.

 

loved the flashback scene. The ToJ flashback should be pretty awesome as well.

Not sure many characters would agree with you on that, although I think you're right.

What is ToJ?

[Imran Ehsan]

ToJ = Tower of Joy where Ned and team fights the 3 Kingsguard guarding Lyanna. Part of it is in the trailer.

DAMMIT!  That link isn't working.  This should work.  Cracked me up.

I think the Night's Watch is pretty much dissolved. Most are in jail now, probably awaiting execution. Jon's new army are Wildlings.

[Sister Midnight]

I love how they whined that the wildlings are rapists and murders - pot, kettle, black.

LMFAO!

[Black Rook]

I hope they show that jons changed now, I can't remember if they mentioned it in the show but revival is meant to burn away some of the person. Like less of the person is meant to come back each time they're revived. Maybe it wasn't even red, maybe it's some weird magic to do with warging?
