there's a popular theory about who his parents are

did samwell inadvertantly convince that kid to kill j.s.

Yeah, great episode, one of the most satisfying for all the stuff they managed to fit in, but it was really dumb of Jon to admit to killing Mance without laying out the circumstances first.
I thought the ice king that Jon smashed came back but it must be a similar looking ice king.
Wondering what percentage of the wildlings survived. Perhaps Jon should have been more careful because maybe without him, none of the wildlings would be allowed back, but maybe the advance of the white walkers changes what crows would allow. Doesn't look like there's a big tribe of giants. That one giant must be hardy as fuck to swim through freezing water. In season 2 I thought white walkers would simply advance until they killed everyone but obviously they've been doing other stuff, going back and forth. Otherwise they would have killed loads in season 3.
Keeping in mind that the cast of the show have repeatedly said episode 10 is going to have a major shocker that's supposed to be bigger than anything before. I'm going to guess it's not totally due to characters dying. Perhaps something with Arya coming into totally new territory. I was hoping Cersei will die this season but now I want her to at least get revenge on the Sparrows.
There's a lot to fit into next two episodes. They're called "The Dance of Dragons" and "Mother's Mercy". I presume the mother is either Daenerys or Cersei.
Add to missing list: Brynden Tully. Maybe he'll come in and kill someone.

Also wondering how much of the wildlings were killed behind those doors. Looked like a lot.

this was really bad writing. like it's a sensitive situation and he just decides to clown them by announcing he shot an arrow "through his heart", conveniently paving the way for pirate steve to show his trust for him.
also the "he may be prettier than my daughters" thing didn't work too well with that incredibly striking scandinavian-looking female wildling standing there.

how did i miss striking scandinavians?!

so how many seasons will it take for the whitewalkers to cross the river?
― Karl Malone, Monday, 1 June 2015 13:49 (nine years ago) link
Jon admitting to killing Mance w/o context was pretty consistent with how dumb Jon's always been

Xxxxxp didn't the sparrow guy say 'mother's mercy' is what the tyrells would get if they plead guilty for their sins? I'm guessing it's not actually hugely merciful

probably you get sent to a nunnery way in the south where a bunch of monsters are attacking

Guessing that Cersei thinks it sounds quite nice, confesses to having Lancelot kill Robert, shagging Lancelot etc. and them discovers that it isn't actually that great.
― Blandford Forum, Monday, 1 June 2015 14:29 (nine years ago) link
lol Lancelot, thanks phone

idk why ppl loved that ep quite so hard but it was cool when dany revealed herself to be a revolutionary

i didn't completely understand the interaction between cersei and the...guy who i recognize but can't remember really. seems like he was hinting at some sort of move he could pull to get her out of there?
― Karl Malone, Monday, 1 June 2015 14:41 (nine years ago) link
he was being kinda coy

qyburn, her disgraced former maester dude. him saying there's a way out is p much telling her "uhhh youre fucked you should probably confess," but saying "the work continues" is qyburn-code for "your zombie guardian is almost ready"
― slothroprhymes, Monday, 1 June 2015 14:56 (nine years ago) link
that said even a frankenclegane could prob be defeated somehow i highly doubt that it just singlehandedly kills all of cersei's 9 zillion enemies

Trial by combat?

Can imagine Qyburn sitting on Mountain's shoulders and throwing dangerous chemicals.

Cersei scene made me think of KISS's "Lick It Up" so that was some kind of positive. The battle scene was a pleasant surprise, although I don't think they shot it very well - all those abrupt/jump-cut shots of people bludgeoning each other, that's not how you do a well-orchestrated battle scene imo
― Οὖτις, Monday, 1 June 2015 16:31 (nine years ago) link
i think the point was that it was m/l a one-sided bloodbath rather than a battle
― slothroprhymes, Monday, 1 June 2015 16:33 (nine years ago) link
sure
why can't zombies go in the water?

maybe they dissolve.

they should just walk along the ocean floor underneath the boats then when the boats arrive at their destination the zombies just walk up out of the water behind them "oh hai"

if a dude (the night's king) who only needs to go flicka the wrist to raise fresh dead from the fields solely as a parting troll gesture wanted to kill everyone then and there, he prob would have

its seems like the white walkers r gonna be hard to defeat only dragons prob cld do it
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 June 2015 16:42 (nine years ago) link
i bet dragon glass, valarian steel, and dragon fire all kill white walkers
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 June 2015 16:43 (nine years ago) link
seems like normal fire should work on the normal zombies tho

isn't there another valyrian blade out there? who has it? jamie? or bronn or brienne? i can't really remember.

jamie and brienne each have ones that were melted down from the very big sword i think
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 June 2015 16:46 (nine years ago) link
brienne and jon have them, jaime took the one that was supposed to be joffrey's i think, a handful of other lords have them
tyrion had a valyrian steel dagger but its prob long gone
― slothroprhymes, Monday, 1 June 2015 16:47 (nine years ago) link
eddard's valyrian sword was melted down into 2 by twyin and he gave them to jamie and joffrey. jamie gave his to brienne, and i guess tommen has joffrey's now.
― mizzell, Monday, 1 June 2015 16:49 (nine years ago) link
they will prob need another sword or two

And valyrian steel is a special kind of... treatment of normal steel? Folding process? A totally different set of alloys?
