Aye I figured his status as a bastard would be a bigger problem, I wasn't sure if the show was overlooking this though. Stannis offered to legitimise him once he become king n all, although I spose a king can do what he wants :shrug:

Wow. I'm still trying to process everything that happened in that episode. It was jam-packed.

So Dani is finally off to Westeros and it looks like she has some new allies with Dorn and Highgarden (she now has a massive army).

Cersei is on the iron throne after the king made a splat cause she blew up the religious nuts and the Tyrells.

Arya is now a badass assassin, back in Westeros, knocking people off her list.

Bran finds out Jon is not Ned's, but half Targaryan.

Jon tells the red woman to kick rocks and is declared King of da north.

Sansa has mixed feelings about Jon's new title as Littlefinger continues to pull the strings.

Oh, and Sam has a lot of reading to do.


Whew! That might be the most progressive episode to date.

Awesome season, maybe the best yet...

Seemed like it took Varys a very short time get back to Meereen from Dorne. That was my only complaint for the episode.

Well, there were several time jumps, or whatever you want to call them. But how else are they supposed to move the story/episode along? Are they required to wait an episode or two between cities? How does that make sense either? If you played two or three episodes back to back, you would get the same effect, character moving quickly...

Also confirmed

Bran can see the future


There were some cracking shots in that episode, was an amazing mood from start to finish.

Uh, how? Is this an internet rumour or something deducted from the episode? If the former, you'd better remove it, even if its between spoiler tags. Those have been devalued because of improper use in this thread (stuff that happened in the episode really doesnt need spoiler tags)

I may have a memory conflicting with something I've seen in an advert but I'm 99% sure I'm remembering it from his visions. The scene was exactly the same. Memph drew my attention to it actually, as it obviously wasn't the hold of a ship and I thought the same as you.

Also the improper use of spoiler tags. I get bollocked all the time for spoilers, it's a theory after all and some people don't like it when you score a hit , such as suggesting someone in Star Wars dies, so I slap them in all the time.

Then still get bollocked :p

Also if I'm not using spoiler tags for show spoilers nor actual spoilers what do we use them for ?, my head hurts :(

I was really expecting shenannigans.


Yup :), I also liked how littlefinger was forced to reveal his hand before getting blind sided. This season has been non stop fan service :up:

This is also a reason to worry; who is left to hate now? Queen C and thats about it...oh there is the Iron Island guy I guess. This means good on good warfare, unless it just goes full cheese and everyone unites against the White Walkers, defeats them and carves up the kingdom equally, which would be horse shit given how the show has gone up until now. And I don't think they will do it, so get ready for seeing some of your favourite characters killed.

Ah yes you're right.
I remember that when I saw that I assumed it was a reference to the mad king wanting to blow up all of King's Landing, but that eventually never happened.

As for spoilers, what I find confusing about the use of spoiler tags in this thread is that people are putting them around descriptions of events already portrayed in the episodes that have been aired. To me it's kind of obvious that if you aren't up-to-date with the series, you're not reading this thread, so it's kind of useless to use spoiler tags for those things. So I end up clicking open every spoiler tag anyway, because I expect there to be information from the latest episode. If a spoiler suddenly turns out to spoil something that hasn't been shown on the show yet, then that's a bit of a bummer.
Your info isn't really a spoiler IMO as it's about what has already been shown in the show and not, say, something leaked by one of the actors or writers of the show.

Don't forget about Littlefinger :) I'm thinking the Iron Island guy is going to be next season's main bad guy - sort of an incarnation of the drowned god maybe... Also a little sad to see Marjory (or however one spells that) perish, she was a pretty good player of the game of thrones. Not good enough though!

Oh yeah, my new favourite side character is now Lyanna Mormont - who appears to be made of 100% pure awesome.

I'm still a bit shocked by what Cersei did, way to trim the acting budget :olo:

I'm still not convinced Bran can see the future. I'm not sure that's what HBO was trying to convey with those visions. I really think they were trying to give us a glimpse at what the mad King was attempting to do and they needed some footage of dragon fire. They already had footage created for the last episode, so they threw it into the visions.

Of course, I could be way off here, but I think it's a possibility...

I can't say for sure either. On one hand, the way it's coupled with Aerys Targarean (the mad king) shouting "burn them all" it does appear like it's related, but then again, it's the exact same footage and, like I said, the mad king never actually got to igniting the wildfire because he had a terminal run-in with Jaime Lannister.

Maybe she was skeptical at first but after getting a better look at the current situation (after the battle) her sense of honor and duty is growing.

It clearly shows the 'little birds' with wildfire flasks and the shot of the barrels exploding is the same.


Yeah, I see no little birds. I see grown-ass men...

Those aren't Qyburn's "little birds" filling the barrels with wildfire so I would think it's safe to assume that it's actually Aerys' pyromancers doing it, which kind of enforces the idea of the explosion being a glimpse of the past. Also, it was confirmed that barrels of wildfire were hidden under Baelor's Sept by Aerys as well, so those barrels were already lying down there for years and not recently placed by Cersei.

The game of thrones wiki mentions the following as well:
Quote:
While still looking into the past and fleeing from the White Walkers, Bran Stark sees the Mad King's final hours as king in the waning days of Robert's Rebellion. The vision depicts the ordering of wildfire being placed around King's Landing, and Ser Jaime Lannister killing Aerys as he continuously screams, "Burn them all!".


So I'm still not entirely convinced it was a glimpse of the future Bran had, also because it would be one single flash-forward among a dozen flashbacks. And like xer0s said, CGI is expensive. I remember the D.B. Weiss (or the other dude whose name I forgot) mentioning that the CGI for Battle of the Blackwater cost just as much as the rest of the entire season.

What you're all forgetting is that GoT don't do shit by accident or something so obvious on purpose. I too played with the idea of an alternate history, or perhaps an unknown past event but as soon as they showed that scene, you can't argue with it imo.

I actually think they're foreshadowing, they showed dragons over KL too ?. Well, shadows of dragons.

I also think the foreshadowing is something more sinister, as Cersai is now gonna go postal, almost a mad Queen if you will and what will Jaime do ?

I don't think any foreshadowing is needed for dragons in Kings Landing. I think everyone assumes they'll be there eventually...

I think she kept some on the back burner, as she was taking a huge risk and didn't want to be left undefended, physically and politically. Smart girl.

I think the more important thing is that they declared fealty to the Starks.

She also showed more balls and loyalty than any of the other so-called Stark bannermen combined.

:up:

That's kinda what I'm getting at, she placed her house in a precarious position, backing the losing team due to loyalty, I thought that character was one of the best things to come out the season.
