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

The "bad pussy" but was cheesy even for dorne

Bit

she just thinks her reading of the prophecy was wrong and that jon is really her messiah

I think she realized that even her god abandons guys who burn their own kids

(xps)

lena headey was quite pregnant during filming, which necessitated the body double, it was convincingly handled though

as painful as the scene was i didn't think it was gonna inspire #takes because it makes perfect sense given the sparrows' haughty morality and views of what women are supposed to be in their rigid faith, also their focus on extreme forms of penance of course

It was kind of strange how she just appeared then nobody said anything so she just slinked off. Where will she stay? Doesn't seem like Castle Black is scoring 9.1 for service on Booking.com right now

has this kind of shaming of a royal figure ever happened in history w/out culminating in an execution?

should keep jon snow dead but devote the same about of screen time to castle black with whoever's there doing whatever they'll be doing now (wondering what to do with 5,000 wildlings i suppose)

amount*

yeah there must be better places to stay than a hotel full of rapists and your main political rival who already wanted to kill you before your latest and most kill worthy stunt

assume shell get to work seducing whoevers in charge now

I want next season to just be about Samwell on campus fighting title IX complaints

Is it not illegal for Sam to just head off to college? Like if he's taken the black etc.

nah, because he's doing that to remain in service to the night's watch

if he ran off somewhere, or served as maester to another family, now that would be desertion

splitting hairs perhaps but all the other "shocking" deaths made a lot of dramatic sense in hindsight--not sure Jon really does, with so much of his backstory (which is really interesting) left on the table and now a moot point. so I think he'll be back in some form. or at the very least his origins have a part to play.

Loved the mountain 2.0

the final shot shdve been of melisandre scooping up some of his blood in a cup

was there camera trickery going on or is whoever's playing mountain 2.0 really like eight feet tall

xpost it makes sense with all the talk of "king's blood" in the series, since Stannis' bloodline obviously doesn't cut it with the gods now

in a sense jon was ritually sacrificed

Some of the stuff the extras were shouting at Cersei was pretty strange. I'm sure I heard "motherfucker", though maybe it was "brotherfucker".

i liked the guy who just yelled fuck you

someone def. said brotherfucker

Yeah definitely. Maybe he had something better prepared but got too excited.

Also it seemed like that creepy maester didn't really cover Cersei with the robe

Cersei is just lucky there's no Twitter in Westeros.

next season is going to be all about sansa and theon butt injuries

They'll still be mid-fall by episode 9

it was kind of lol that instead of drinking something that made her blind (like in the books) Arya just starts saying "I can't see!"

I'm really stumped for theories about where Arya's story is going. It seems like they still want her in their service.

blind clam seller

pretty uncool of Jon's dire wolf to step up for Sam but to be dozing off in a corner when the shit hit the fan last night

going to be pretty hard keeping 5000 wildlings onside w/out jon snow kicking about

The murderboob economy was booming this ep, with the boob sector advancing in the Kings Landing market, while murder made big gains on the Braavosi index.

cersei's CGI face

So are they going to kill one Stark per season? Is that how this works?

Jonah saying "bantering" was hilarious. He said something else amusing just after that but I can't recall it.

got excited for a sec that there was some Veep/GoT crossover happening that I was unaware of

lots of angry nerds on the twitters complaining that a pregnant lead actress didn't want to spend an extended amount of time walking around naked for their amusement

Do the Night's Watch really need to deal with Wildlings now? Now that they've got their land I think they won't need anyone's help anymore.

I didn't notice the cgi on Cersei at all!

If Dani had been nude last week we probably wouldn't have noticed the shitty dragon riding CGI

wait which Stark did they kill in seasons 2 and 4?

starks dead only on odd seasons

Starks can't die in years where the Giants win the world series.

so can we merge the two (spoilers/non-spoilers) threads now or what

no they might tell us about some letter Ramsey wrote

if GRRM is smart he will put out the next book just ahead of the next season and make a bajillion more dollars

we don't really believe stannis is dead, right? it doesn't make sense to do the cut-away just to reveal that yes, actually he did die there we just didn't feel like showing it

xpost I'm kidding. It's not actually a spoiler anymore, but book readers have apparently being speculating for 10 years about who actually wrote a letter supposedly from Ramsey that Jon received right before he died. It said something like "My army has destroyed Stannis' army. I demand you hand over the lady Melissandre. Also my wife and my Reek are missing, give them back to me." After last night it seems likely that Ramsey actually sent it.

stannis is dead. haven't you seen enough gore?

are we allowed to speculate openly about Jon now? I'm curious if in addition to wolves he might have other...affinities...that only one other character has shown.

maybe he'll come back next season as the dreaded Ser Stoneheart
