i was thinking that the angsty kid at the wall will end up being good friends with one of the little wildling kids of the cool lady who sent them off in a boat and fought valiantly and then was transformed into an undead. then the kid will be like "now i can sympathize with jon snow's decision because i'm frenz with the wildling, and also now i like sam more too, cool"

that may be a too clean and heartwarming story arc ending for GoT, though
the moment he decides to open his heart to the wildlings some roose bolton mercenary bursts through the door, stabs him in the heart + flees

kid def seemed like he wanted to murder jon snow like everyone else

the lingering shot on the see-through young zombie boy that did in mama wildling sure did go on for awhile

oh shit, OR maybe the cool wildling who transformed into undead will come to face to face with her children. too paralyzed to move, angst kid will pull his trademark bow+arrow assassination+smirk+"fuck yeah, i did that" look, but then the abandoned wildling children will murder HIM and say "you know nothing, angst kid", full circle

xpost i agree, it went on for so long that i started looking inside the more transparent parts of his body, thinking there might be visual clues hidden in there somewhere

p good if you have lots of questions but are never going to read the books - i had a good binge on it earlier.

I'm never going to read the books, but I'm afraid those will spoil stuff that hasn't happened yet.

those articles are spoiler-free i think - they're done as a kind of review of each episode.

Tormund is becoming a favourite of mine, he's pretty cool. Hope he tells more stories about getting it on with animals.

I thought it was a pity they killed off the wildling woman chief - seemed a good character.

Birgitte Hjort Sørensen was good in the role. There was one scene where all of a sudden she spoke Danglish, which kinda fitted the role, but I'm allergic to Danglish. I've spent years learning not to speak Danglish. And it's everywhere at the moment, Hannibal, The Duke of Burgundy, and now Game of Thrones. It freaks me out.

I thought she was going for an almost Irish accent at one stage. Like a Danish person doing an English person's Irish accent.

is there any chance they'll have her back as zombie confronting her kids? in tv language they did leave that open.
― bureau belfast model (LocalGarda), Monday, 1 June 2015 21:36 (nine years ago) link
if they don't do it i will be very disappointed
so keep that in mind, GoT writers, you could be letting at least one fan down

He is a horrible prick but I am enjoying the performance (albeit slightly less since someone posted his crap indie song here)
― bureau belfast model (LocalGarda), Monday, 1 June 2015 21:47 (nine years ago) link
is there a Ramsey scene where he isn't eating something?

Ramsay's twenty good men are literally his backing band and some roadies

i want stannis to fuck his shit up
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 1 June 2015 21:52 (nine years ago) link
I quite enjoy Ramsay too. He seems confident about his 20 men plan but it would be funny if it went horribly wrong. It would be interesting to finally see Stannis as a credible threat to all the other rulers.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 1 June 2015 21:54 (nine years ago) link
I fear he will get to kill Davos but hopefully the latter gets to do him some severe damage in the process (would rather have Brienne finish him off).
― nashwan, Monday, 1 June 2015 21:55 (nine years ago) link
I'm worried Stannis is going to die, that chat with Melisandre where she reassured him of her visions was basically "got myself a new boat, called the Live Forever"
― bureau belfast model (LocalGarda), Monday, 1 June 2015 21:55 (nine years ago) link
hahah I just said that exact bit when the wildling woman was telling her kids she'd see them shortly

― Mistah FAAB (sarahell), Tuesday, 2 June 2015 02:25 (nine years ago) link
The Mad King treated Elia Martell poorly so Dorne is probably not inclined to like her, but philosophically I think they're compatible.

The wall was built explicitly for white walkers--If humans lived north of it before the long night and bran the builder, they were not considered a threat on the order of the walkers. But as the walker threat dissipated and the number of wildlings grew (through migration mostly), the wall became more of a protection against the wildlings. The gift is largely unoccupied because wildlings raid it!

ya, i'm pretty afraid Stannis is toast. or worse. possibly even his daughter.
