she just had a handful there as security... no idea why they were so shit all of a sudden tho...

Too true. I can't get 4 beers into Lords to watch the test match; how they got gold masks and spears into Mereembley on the biggest day of the year is beyond me. We need better security and if this continues, we'll have to bring back fences and segregation, and make all the Sons of Harpy sit together and act tough before going home again on a supervised supporters chariot.

Great comparisons, just take a look at what is going on in the middle east or up in India etc. the world is a shit place, writing fiction that moves people is interesting, are you offended that he wrote it/they filmed it or that you worry people could do it?

You shouldn't believe everything your media writes about what happens in the Middle East so you can go and plunder their oil guilt free. As to being offended I can't say I was offended tbh I was upset by it which is precisely the emotion the morons wanted to elicit from me, which then makes me annoyed that they suckered me. One can't help drawing comparison sensations with ones own offspring it's what that sort of 'entertainment' does to one. So hands up I was upset.

Just as i was even more upset when your Tony Blair assisted George Bush in creating the shit place the world has become and the likes of George Soros funding trouble in the Ukraine which awakened the Russian Bear. Corporate America is your enemy and will burn all of our daughters if there is a bottom line profit to be had from it.

yep all those videos of people being stoned, shot and executed are fake. The world is a shit place, oil didn't do that. In communist china girls were abandoned or killed for being girls, in other places children are sold into slavery. Nothing to do with the US or oil but more to do with human nature.

What it exposes is human nature in some of it's rawest forms, that what shocks or upsets people most.

Yep, but still..

If her husband had been called Doug and she'd just got a new dog, I wonder what he would have been called? Rowver, in GoT, I'd guess? ๐Ÿ™‚

Yep, she named her dragons after Drogo (her late rather than ex husband), Rhaeger (her older brother whose attentions to Lyanna Stark started a war) and Viserys (her douche canoe brother who was given a shower of molten gold by the Dothraki).

Nobody has given away anything from the books. Or rather nothing that hasn't already been passed by in the TV version.

After next week I'm guessing there won't be a huge amount to catch up on with the books. Much of it is already there or thereabouts.

Yep, I've not had the pleasure / time to read the books - but I'm told the two stories have now split, and after next weeks episode the TV story will pass the end of the most recent book - well sort of as they're not linear.

Best thing for both camps really, it seems you can't talk about the TV series without a book fan getting upset of they change anything NOW they can enjoy it for a different, but obviously similar story AND TV fans can live without smug fans enjoying being all coy because they know what will happen.

Glorious times we live in.

^^^^^^^

Yeah, I think the only 'main' story strand not dealt with is the Iron Islands. Heard they were casting for this for the next season on the TV. TBH that part was all a bit tedious anyway.

The Bran storyline caught up with the books at the end of the last season.

Also I believe GRRM suggested that Shireen was a planned death which was shared with TV producers, so we're into the realms of book rather than TV spoilers now.

Read the books after the first season of GoT and no doubt will read the new ones if/when they are ever published. A lot of people moaned but I quite enjoyed a lot of the more rambling storylines. Arya's is a lot better done in the book IMHO.

Now looking forward to Season 3 of Vikings. Now that's a TV series!

There's potentially 3 exciting things that will happen in the next episode that was in the books. The fight at winterfell, something something Cersi and something something Jon snow. It's probably not what you're thinking. ๐Ÿ˜†

Agree with razorazoo, the Arya storyline is much much better in the book. One of my favourite characters, the other being Tyrion whose still got a bit to go to catch up on the books.

Final episode looks like it should be good, looking forward to watching it this eve. However they've missed out the most epic part of Kelly C's storyline in the books... (don't worry, it isn't story-related ๐Ÿ˜† )

Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up she was shitting brown water. The more she drank, the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew, and her thirst sent her crawling to the stream to suck up more water.

Just watched it. Can't say I'm really impressed, they seem to keep killing off the most interesting characters.

Mellisandre does a Thoros Of Myr on Jon Snow. Job done

So -
Did Stannis actually die?
Who's side is the Khalesar on?
Why is Mellisandre at The Wall? What did she see that made her desert Stannis?
Is Jon Snow dead or not?

One thing is for certain, there will be a lot of people waiting for Season 6...

Good series overall, really built towards the end and has moved a lot of the characters along a lot (and some nowhere)
The Arya stuff has been good, Jon Snow was doing well, Stannis made his choices and Deneris looks like she has either found an army or more Dragon food.

The look on Jamie Lanisters face when he realised that everyone knew he had been shagging his sister was priceless and Tyrion lives to drink another day ๐Ÿ™‚

Stannis - if she killed him they would have showed it, it's not as if they are shy of that sort of thing is it. Maybe Sansa showed up at the crucial moment and put her off her swing?

She's been blinded as punishment is my bet.

Decent final episode. I think I'd been told that it was dramatic so it didn't really have the impact it might have otherwise.

FWIW, my money's on Jon Snow being ressurected (by the Red Witch and that's why she deserted Stannis)

She seemed very taken aback when half the army deserted at dawn.

Also how did the Boltons fit an entire Cavalry brigade in Winterfell's tiny grounds?

Reasonably slow season finished off superbly I thought in the final 3 episodes. Loads of questions about next season, but that's a great thing, anything can happen. ๐Ÿ™‚

This is my bet too. The filming seemed to focus on the John Snow's seeping blood for quite a while...
Also, I'n not 100% sure Stannis is dead, but TBH he was a bit of a gullible failure ๐Ÿ™‚

Werent the horse back riders Drogo's old clan? So Deneris would be back in business with a more complete army - not sure on ring dropping though?

Ayra, fk knows whats going on there!

It seems like each army cant stay together more than a few months! everyone is collapsing in someway.

Cersei looked in fine fettle given she's been starving in a dungeon for 3 weeks.

Am i alone in liking the new haircut? If so, shame on me. Shame. Shame. Shame. etc.

To me it looked a lot more like Mellisandre set Stannis up to fail rather than deserted him, I'm guessing the LOL told her to get rid of Stannis as Jonny boy was more worthy.

maybe - but if he does come back I can't see him putting up with naked witchey ways - he's already turned her down once (he only likes gingers)

With Melisandre, I got the impression she suddenly realised she had misread a vision, and Stannis wasn't the man after all.

The Khalesar deserted Danerys after Khal Drogo died, so why would they suddenly support her now, not their new Khal?

I'm pretty certain Sansa will survive the jump, but that whole storyline was different to the books, where Ramsey Bolton married a fake Arya lookalike, so who knows where that's headed.

With Jon Snow, all the GoT book geeks suggest that the way he was stabbed in the book, and the PoV writing style, suggests he isn't dead. Did anybody notice the pool of blood on the floor under him shaped like a wolfs head?

Is Cersei about to take her revenge on he religious nut jobs, with The Mountain reborn/rebuilt killing them all? I'm pretty sure she will go batshit when she finds Myrcella is poisoned. I hope we see the horny little Dornish Sand Snakes again!!

Not sure I can wait another year, but I'm glad the series has caught up with the books!!!

My only hope for the next 11 months is Mr RR Martin doesn't joss it , then the world will implode!

As for episode 10 , it delivered everything it set out to and leaves so many questions un-answered ,

I believe GRRM has told the TV producers his ending, some even if he croaks it, the show will finish.
