OT: Winter Is Coming | Game of Thrones Discussion Thread

Lucky Jon Snow. Whenever a woman is unsure how she feels about him, he takes her into a cave, and suddenly the problem is resolved.

Good thing he is related to Sansa. That crypt under Winterfell is pretty darned close to a cave.

I did like how Jaime and Bronn both looked at each other after Poppa Tarly suggested whipping the men to speed things up with a "that guy is way too intense even for us" glance.

I was waiting for Bronn to call Lord Tarly "Francis"

I just watched a business report on GOT

Main actors make $3.3m cdn per episode ($2.6m usd)

Over 23 M viewers per episode which draws in almost $1B revenue per episode.

Holy shit

I don't know what Team Bad Ass is trying to do at Eastwatch... but I'm excited to find out.

Ughhhh! Never thought Sansa would be the voice of reason in a debate with Arya.

Great episode

 

[juliansteed]

So last season when Sam brought Gilly and Baby Sam to Horn Hill and claimed that Baby Sam was his son, did he also claim that he and Gilly were married? I can't remember. Would be funny if Baby Sam becomes Lord of Horn Hill (or all of The Reach depending on who you ask) with Gilly ruling in his name until he's old enough.

Really hoping that they pull a bait and switch with Daenerys and John. They are setting up a marriage between Jon and Daenerys for both personal and political reasons, which would be such a cliche thing to do. I'm hoping instead that Daenerys completes her heel turn, turn to the dark side or whatever you want to call it and goes full Mad Queen on everyone!

I used to pump Peter Dinklage's tyres, but I am not totally in Jerome Flynn's camp.

I think Littlefinger will find that two Stark girls is more than he can handle. Blood is thicker than water, or in this case, snake oil. May take until the final episode this season though.

Spoiler: Spoiler for Ep 5

I am not sure that the message that Arya reads is in fact the one the Maester brought to Littlefinger. That just seems like a set up by Baelisch to drive a wedge between Arya and Sansa.

I think the real raven message brought by the Maester is much older. It is from Lyanna Stark and tells her parents that she has married Rhaegar Targaryen. Petyr needs that one destroyed, since it would prove the legitimacy of Jon Snow as Jharys Targaryen, the rightful heir to the Iron Throne.

Little finger will lose vs arya and I'm glad they didn't play out Jaimie in the water

Dear Team Bad Ass,

Can you take a break from your attack on the White Walkers to attack some white supremacists instead?

Thanks.

Team Bad Ass is not very inclusive. Not even a Dothraki in the bunch.

Dothraki need to get some winter gear

Team Badass is only missing Bronn.

I thought Gendry's job would be to forge dragon glass weapons (still could be I suppose).

I have really liked Sam this season. All like how he was too distracted to notice Gilly dropping a Westerosi bombshell.

Also regarding what Gilly read, that would make Jon heir to the Iron Throne and not Dany correct? If Rhaegar and Lyanna were wed then he's not a bastard and would be next up in the line of succession. I'm assuming that's what has Littlefinger spooked.

Exactly correct.
