Its not that she is cocky that annoys me, it is because suddenly everything goes her way whenever she feels like it. The script isn't even hiding the fact that she knows that it is going her way and she knows it. I used to like her now I want her dead.

She's annoying me too, but I'm not wishing her dead... Yet. She's just very arrogant and entitled and controlling, which is rather similar to most dictators, but she's also very young and impulsive which makes for poor judgement. She's wasted too much time in Meereen and become boring. Hopefully Urine, or whatever his name is, or someone will get a fleet to her already!

- Sam Storyline: I dont see the point of adding another tangent to the overall storyline here. The dinner scene in terms of acting was superb, but I just dont see the point. Probably done for the sword (valyrian steel), so now Snow has one and Sam has one. -.-

- Tommen: Why they say incest is bad. But nice twist, I liked it, add more ?? how things fold out, makes things less predictable = more drama.

- Dany: That was a shitty speech. Should've invested in more crowd cgi than dragon cgi tbh. The speech would've made sense if the camera showed thousands of soldiers, saw like 100 or so guys. So, the whole thing came out disconnected.

- Coldhands/Benjen: I knew it!

- Arya: Really, this is turning out like how i'd quickly speed read through Brienne chapters because it's getting boring as fuck.

I think they showed that preview at the end of the episode. It definitely makes me want to watch. I wouldn't mind seeing Lady Oleana (sp?) bitch slap Cersei. I think everyone will eventually end up at River Run eventually and we may see Catelyn again, which may be interesting for a Jaime and Brianne reunion, but probably not next episode. Yara being pissy about the Iron Islands is not surprising, but I was kind of hoping she'd make a bee line down Dany, before Urine can get there. Always good to see Sansa tell someone off, perhaps she could kick someone in the nuts, too. Uh oh, I think I getting grumpy hungry, that last thought just slipped out.

 

What do you think of the trailer?

The blackfish is back and ready to chew bubble gum and kick ass.

 

Thinking more and more that Bran (or the three eyed raven before him) wargs (green see's) into the past and effects aegons already fractured mind to make wildfire and to want to burn everything because they will need all that wildfire against the walkers, or that they tried to do as much and messed up with how much they messed with his mind.

Also still waiting to see if the high sparrow is Howland Reed.

Something really bugs me about Margaery's sudden transformation to the faith... I don't buy it. She really has no love for the Lannister's... Renly, Joffrey, and Tommen were only tools for her to become Queen... and she obviously would have nothing but a desire for revenge against all these people that have disgraced her and her brother. I think maybe she's playing them all, and has a plan for them all to kill each other, or something worse. Remember how well she was at playing Joffrey?

 

The High Sparrow told a story of his father... a cobbler... I don't believe Howland Reed's daddy made shoes.

And Margaery called him out on that being a story from their bible. It wasn't his father, it had nothing to do with him.

 

Margaery just played the only card available to her to get out of the cells and not walk the streets naked. Its pretty obvious her transition is fake since she was adamant about not giving in when she visited her brother. She can accomplish far more from the castle than she can from her cell. Shes playing Tommen, and so is the high Sparrow. I don't think she'll be as good at it as the the high sparrow though.

Guys is it me or does the same white walker die everytime?

 

See:

 

Samwell killing white walker:

Jon kills one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC1dVsTkmSI

 

Osha kills one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g07wqrjLV-M

 

Also I thought there were only like 4 white walkers as soon in the Jon snow video above on top of horses on that hill, yet there are 3 remaining when they attack Bran in the cave

Kind of like the Walking Dead, seen one zombie you've seen then all? The two wights looked similar and probably were the same stunt guy, but I'd never have known.

 

Have you noticed there are no female wights?

 

 

It wasn't his father, it had nothing to do with him.

I didn't absorb that part of it... I guess he's a bigger liar than all of them, but Howland Reed, from my understanding because I have not read the books, is head of House Reed and has never left Greywater Watch since Robert's Rebellion. When the Ironborn took Moat Cailin... it was Howland Reed and the Crannogmen that kept it under siege. I don't see how Howland can be the High Sparrow, and I don't see it being anything more than a big "so what?"... Why would it add to the story for the High Sparrow to be Howland Reed?

Thats Meera not Osha (not to nitpick). Also Jon sees 5 on the hill, and then one comes down so theres only 4 remaining up there when he looks again. Then there are 4 when they attack the three eye'd raven, and Meera kills one with the Obsidian spear. We know they are capable of making more but my impression is that there is only 3 left right now.

The only thing it would add is that its a huge revenge plot rather than just being some religious dude who's manipulating everyone to gain the faith power in the capitol. It seems like he wouldn't be doing some of the stuff hes doing right now if that was his plan. He could have accomplished the same with far less risk by starting off with the general population and working his way up once he had enough of a following.

 

Howland Reed would be out for revenge for his friend Ned's death. I don't know that it's Howland, it's just a theory people had from reading the books, and it makes a lot of sense in some ways.

i wanna clear up something with the white walkers.

 

Who are the white walkers and who are the wights?

Is there a difference?

Are the 'generals' that sit on the horses different from the wights or the dead (that have been revived as zombies)

in what way?

how were they created?

I believe that the wights are the same as white walkers, that's the impression I got from the books. We don't know for sure about the generals, but I have wondered if the babies that the Nights Captain has taken have been turned into the generals.

I don't know the full differences but the wights seem to just be a zombie army that are unthinking, while the white walkers are capable of thinking, and seem to have some innate magical powers (shattering normal swords with their ice blades, converting people by stabbing them with ice blades (like they tried to do to benjin)).

 

Perhaps the wights are just those that died that are then resurrected by the walkers while the walkers have to be converted from something living by a walker itself.

Episode 7 starts here

 

Hound is back. Expected. Cleganebowl incoming. :ph34r:

 

North doesnt want to support Jon and Sansa, because, wildlings. Expected.

 

Sansa writes to Littlefinger for help. Expected.

 

Margeary is playing the High Sparrow. Expected.

 

Book Jaime is a lot more awesome than the show Jaime who is just pathetic. Blackfish is pretty cool though. Great that he is back.

 

Arya gets stabbed. Whoa! Doesnt die though. So it will be interesting to see what she does next. Try to run away from Braavos in that ship and hope the faceless men dont follow. Or go on the offense and take out the faceless men so that they cant come for her.

 

Finally,

 

Ian McShane! Hell yeah!!

 

......

 

awww shucks, he is dead. :(

Agreed on all counts. I don't think faceless will look for Arya because the Waif looked mighty smug and sure she killed her nemesis.

 

Arya may get on that boat, or will she hook up with the acting troop and make her way to Westeros?

 

Delicious watching Oleana call Cercei out for being a stupid bitch.

 

How many episodes are left this season? They're long overdue in killing someone important, they usually kill the important person in penultimate season episode.

 

Not sure Margery can successfully fool the high sparrow, he's very sharp. I would love to see someone wipe that sanctimonious look off his face.

 

How can Jon possibly imagine he can beat the evil Bolton bunch with his rag tag group? Jon loses 37 out of 1000 sexy points for idiocy.

 

I couldn't see who Sansa wrote to, but I assumed it was Peter, thanks for confirming.

 

Unrelated, off topic note: Imran, I think you're hot and will soon add your image to my NSFW Fantasy Image thread, I hope you don't mind.
