HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones - will this be just for nerds? (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

dying hound :(

it wldve been better if the crying man unwrapped his bundle and it was a burned up jon snow and he was all lol jk not sad just thought u cld use a good laff and everyone had one

the hound is the best character i think

someone needs to tell danerys that chaining up the dragons is only going to be a solution for like 2 seconds and then it's buckets of crispy-fried-children city

I thought she was leaving the dragons to die and then calling a hunt for the remaining one.

I thought Arya might meet Gendry at the shore but that might be a coincidence too far.

I actually really liked that bit with the old man in the nice tree. I happened to be looking at one of my Charles Vess art books last night and it had his art for Storm Of Swords, including that tree and the wildling attacks.

This has nothing to do with recent episodes but I'm always confused why people make such a big deal of the show's sex/nudity. If I was describing the show to someone, I wouldn't think that element was worth mentioning. Some people speak like it's Philip Jose Farmer adapted by Jean Rollin.

Yeah I forgot about that. As far as we know, Gendy is still in a tiny boat in the middle of the ocean.

the hound is the best character i think

yeah :/

someone just pointed out to me that the hound was ultimately killed because of a mountain

otm about hound. and that dude just nails it

too bad they messed up the mountain casting.

they should have done the "this surgery will change him" thing before the recasting

I have a feeling we'll see the ol' Hound again. We didn't actually see him die. Plus he has to face off against The Mountain.

maybe there was a maester behind that rock!

Also hoping the mad scientist Maester turns the Mountain into Mountain:

Throwing another unlikely possibility out there, red lady is Jon Snow's mother?
That look they shared looked like it was supposed to be of special significance. Maybe he just sees a new hot redhead and she sees a new royal bastard to burn.

that was my take

i thought she was just scoping some hot king's blood for potions

ya she def wants to burn him up

I'm pretty sure the Hound lives. When has this show ever skipped an opportunity for an on-screen death? Plus it basically cut from "The Mountain's gonna be back - and freaky!" to The Hound's "death". I know this show delights in killing off characters we're invested in, but it feels like there's some unfinished business here.

i hope so!

he didnt look like he was in that bad shape, more embarrassed than anything really

Probably Jon has some royal blood in him and she's thinking about draining him

i don't know if it matters but technically ned was not a king or otherwise royal. would robb being declared king retroactively give a step brother royal blood?

half brother

that too

but what if job show was royal via some other blood line just throwin that out there

xpost
there's a (non-spoiler) theory that Jon is actually the son of Ned's sister and one of the Targaryans

the starks were kings of the north before the targaryens came and united the seven kingdoms, don't know if that counts.

yeah I don't know how fussy she is about how kingy the king's blood is

we need a reference guide on how blood magic works, maybe there is a wiki. maybe when it comes to magic all that matters is what you believe to be so.

job show

blood sugar, baby.

they reminded us last week that the old dude at the wall is a Targaryan

"low blood sugar baby i have it" --a girl

i don't want to say too much but the old blind guy and the red witch have sexual relations and she gives birth to a dragon

m/l what i expected

Some book fans are saying that one of the characters who died this season is not really dead.

The Hound seems like the only contender for proper life. Ygritte might turn into a white walker. I'm still holding out a tiny hope for Oberyn being reconstructed by the Lord Of Light.
Maybe some flying creature saved Lysa.

Ha, maybe the missing Dragon saved her.

ygritte got burned up yo

oh was there a tip-off to where Arya's going on the salt ship? She had the magic Braavos coin that makes the Captain grant her a wish, and she said she wanted to go to the Wall... but she seemed excited when he said he was going to Braavos. Seems like Braavos would make for some more entertaining hijinks than more trudging around the North.

And do they say where Tyrion and Varys are headed?

I hope next season is The Real World Braavos and they all live together in a party pad on the beach.

Party pad should be inside the left big toe of that big giant statue

ya shes goin to braavos

And do they say where Tyrion and Varys are headed?

think they just said the free cities

awesome - looking forward to some quality time in Braavos next season. So far we've basically only seen the waiting room of a bank.

smug ass loan officers smh

Did we really see Ygritte burn properly? There was still time from a white walker to pull her off.

Maybe Gandalf got her.

Ygritte really was "kissed by fire" after this episode!!

next season opens with Lysa Arryn waking up with a broken leg

LOL. Or landing on the Hound, just the quell the rumors...

"Pushed me out the moondoor" is a hell of a domestic abuse charge.

As well as Gendry that wild girl who protected Bran has been gone a long time. Didn't she leave with somebody?
