Game of Thrones

I know I may be looking for something that may never come, but a lot of people need to get their karma kill off. Glad to see the Starks start to regain some footing maybe? Maybe Sansa, Jon Snow, Arya, and Bran come back and start giving some Lannisters their due.

I am not sure if they will because the Lannisters have become the main story line. Interested to see what happens at the Tower of Joy.

Baby John Snow. Bran will revisit that at the end of the season I bet as the big reveal.

I've pondered whether somehow the triumvirate of Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, and Danerys Targaryen will unite. Kind of a tale of underdogs overcoming their various disadvantages to rule the seven kingdoms.

It would somewhat make sense. It started with the 3 Targaryens conquering Westeros and there are strong rumors that Jon and Tyrion are both half Targaryen (at least in the books).

I'm not a big fan of the Tyrion is a secret Targaryen theory.

Honestly, the Targaryen's are despicable people. I would hope the book wouldn't feel the need to prop the three most likeable characters to owing all of their abilities to a surname.

if you notice during the Tower of Joy scene after Bran calls out for his dad, his dad turned around and looked for someone.

Theres a theory that Bran went back in time and talked to the Mad King which is the reason the Mad King went crazy.

Why couldn't the Raven have done that?

Just a gigantic upturn in quality this season. I feel like—finally unburdened by not having to think about waiting on George Argh-Argh Martin anymore—the writers have become disinterested in stalling, and instead going full tilt into their narrative.

Completely agree. I've also thought that the Benioff and Weiss have done a great job with show only ideas (presumably). I thought that they had struggled with this in the past (dorne cough cough), but I have really liked every plot this season.

Yes, the final scene was fantastic, but my favorite part of the episode was the Sansa and Jon reunion. And I felt like when Sansa asked for forgiveness, it was for so much more than how she treated Jon. He forgave her for everyone watching, I think. Such a great acting job, too. You could see the burden lifted, and suddenly she was fierce...all Stark. It was wonderful.

The only non-despicables in the narrative--at least to me--are the Starks.

I quit reading the books about 3/4 of the way through A Feast for Crows. Just too many diversions for me.

My favorite part of last night's episode was Theon's return to the Iron Islands.

The scene with Tormund lusting after Brienne was comic gold. Really a fantastic episode. Filled with women telling men to quit being a bitch and get the job done.

Which is fitting with the starks because presumably the final bad guy (the white walker king) is a stark

****kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

****kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Didn't see that coming.

Didn't see that coming.

It was also just a really tightly-wound episode is a very tightly-wound season. I'd missed riveting seasons of this show—and episodes that could be surprising without relying on the sudden-death of major characters.

Also loved the whole Iron Islands sequence this week.

[thewupk]

man....good episode

[TURBO]

Teared up. One of my favorite characters. He really got screwed over.

[bravesnumberone]

****in Bran.

[weso1]

This show has been awesome since the beginning, but they have really taken it up a notch this season. Loved where they took the story line of the dude with the scaly disease.
