HBO's adaptation of Game of Thrones - Thread 2. There are a lot of nerds.

can a mod ban the faith militant

i mean, just think of how much less suffering and bloodshed there would have been if game of thrones took place on ILX

The Kenclayer

ilxor.com user the imp is the worst mansplainer in the history of the seven kingdoms ugh

2016 Rolling Sean Bean Head

i wonder what fun nicknames morbz would come up with for queen cersei

cersseinger duh

Nah Cersei is surely going to last til the last season.

If I were Tommen though I might perhaps think twice about creating a situation where Cersei is required to stand trial for *everything*. I mean maybe he actually thinks Robert Baretheon is really his dad, which would at least be funny.

Congratz on having a magic willie.

:D

Arya has to confront Cersei at some point, right?

I'm hoping that Arya kills Ramsay -- like Sansa goes, "We don't have an army, oh I know let's hire a Faceless Man, oh who is this young murderous girl I reckon she will do quite nicely."

Im assuming littlefinger pulls a stannis and intervenes on behalf of the starks during bastardbowl

ya def gon happen

Littlefinger will definitely get there. And also, just as things looks lost, who will get there but the Blackfish, leading the Brotherhood without Banners - all five of them! - in a decisive charge.

kinda doubt Arya's gonna kill Cersei or Ramsay.

my own preference is that in an eleventh hour surprise jaime leads the lannister army charging in, to ramsay's delight and jon's chagrin, but in the end they actually charge into and decimate the bolton army bc jaime has found his heart or something thanks to brienne or whatever. i suspect that would be too awesome to actually happen though.

nah, jaime goes back to kings landing, and cersei has killed their last remaining child in a fire, and she dies too, and he has a change of heart, and then Arya kills him

I don't understand why the Freys were so cool with Ramsay killing Walda, btw. Perhaps they'll be helping Snow?

Considering the build-up to this battle has been stretched out over half a season, it's remarkable so little we know about it.

think the house words of House Frey are "¯\(°_o)/¯ I'll get another one"

This is also presumably why Walder would have been fine with Jaime catapulting his only attractive daughter's baby son into a castle to fuck with Edmure

I don't understand why the Freys were so cool with Ramsay killing Walda, btw. Perhaps they'll be helping Snow?

In the books there are so many Frey heirs that Walder doesn't care if a few of them get killed, and the heirs are happy to have their ranks thinned a little to improve their own standing, maybe something similar with Walda?

Or maybe the writers haven't thought things through, hmmm.

there hasn't been an official Frey response re: the murder. They're preoccupied with gaining control over Riverrun.

They can't get HBO where they live. Waiting for DVDs.

they have ramsey killfiled

I thought Frey was very serious about the marriages and children with other prestigious houses.

It's not just that she's a Frey, but the half-Frey baby was heir to the warden of the north. It was a pretty great thing for that house.

I did wonder whether Edmure might respond to Jaime's threats by being kind of like "I have never actually met my son because I've been imprisoned since the night of his conception, and in retrospect I feel somewhat ambivalent about the way my marriage was actually a sham to facilitate the murder of my family"

but he seemed pretty shaken, so job done I guess

tbf jamie gave him a p comfortable out compared to his current accommodations too

i expected a bit more out of a character played by Tobias Menzies ... sigh

I thought the Frey baby was "poisoned by our enemies".

think cersei might kill jamie tbh

Yow, last episode had the second lowest rating on imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0944947/eprate

People are really mad about the Arya storyline

People are really mad about the Arya storyline

Arya is my favourite character. She has been away from the main action for at least 2 seasons more than she should have been but it was obvious a long time ago that she was going to come back north so the haters can gtf afaic.

that's nuts. the more rory mccann the better.

In the last two episodes, Arya kept flipping between being a badass with everything worked out and being an idiot on the verge of death.

Her Braavos story went on too long with too little of a payoff.

Feel bad that my friend named his daughter after someone who cut a person's face off

I kind of wonder if Arya really was bleeding after she jumped into the fruit market -- because in addition to oranges you see some red fruits, and the red you see on her shirt is because she squashed some fruit.

if we ever needed a time for Benioff and Weiss to explain something post-show, "so yes Arya tricked the waif with blood orange juice" instead of being like "durr durr Brienne and Jaime have a mutual connection and respect"

thought it was clear she crushed some fruits up personally

of course fruit juice looks nothing like blood but w/e

The waif just wanted to feast on some sweet tropical fruits

the waif is big into juicing

the waif has no face how do u like yr juice now hmm

Doesn't matter, she can't drink juice without a face.

If you look closely, Sean Bean's decapitated head was actually a fruit basket. That is, the very same fruit basket Littlefinger sent the Lannisters as congrats to Joffery, who was secretly a Baratheon, which we know is the name of Sean Bean's best friend in season 1.
