the arya storyline is begining to bug me.

Brilliant episode, they could have got Bean in to play intermediate Ned though.

The hodor thing do you think it has the function of telling bran that he can't actually change the past? in case he starts to get any bright ideas? As after ned hears him the other week, that must be what he's thinking?

Oh and Richard E Grant and the dude from league of gentlemen (I think?)

Not the dude from league of gentlemen but I see what you mean. He is familiar.

Smack the pony ? Alan partridge Chris Morris stuff , that's it. I think ?

Edit ah yes

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Eldon

The actor Kevin Eldon, TMWRNJ!

I think the hodor thing is a lesson to bran that he can proper mess up things in the past if he tries to change it, not so much that he can't change it, just ruin people.

Really good episode.

Tenuous link here but Kevin Eldon was in this video, and I like it...

Saw a theory that Bran is the cause of many of the bad things that have happened. By trying to prevent them from happening. He has actually caused them. A possible reason for why the mad king is so mad?

Though I do hope he realises and stops messing with it.

It was good to see Kevin Eldon, but I wish they had found a part for him to bring out his sinister side rather than his farcical one. Although excellent at both, I just love it when he goes full on creepy.

Like the concept of the past/future bits linking together.

Bran is now on his way back to castle black then, can't see where else he is off to. Be interesting to see what the red woman makes of him. Will be have the full info on JS's parentage by then? or is time travel over now he's left the tree?

Is that it for the children of the forest and their exploding balls then? Be good if they turn up in the nick of time when the battle comes.

I enjoyed last night's episode but will [i]any[/i] of the dire wolves survive....

Also I watched the Sue Perkins thing with Lauren Laverne who said that she'd just had a theory that the dragons would take out the white walkers. Really? I thought that from the first series, I think the clue's in the book titles no? Dragons = the fire and the White Walkers = the ice

Can't wait for the big battle at the end, should be fun 😀

It all still seems a bit rushed for me. There's no way that in the first few seasons we would have had Bran see the White Walkers and then them turn up on the doorstep in the same episode.

Tough on Hodor. New he was going to do since he was a kid. Bran, the little git!

I feel sorry for this guy.

He's destined to "Grab the Loot"

It all still seems a bit rushed for me. There's no way that in the first few seasons we would have had Bran see the White Walkers and then them turn up on the doorstep in the same episode.

True, but at the original pace it would be going on for about 20 series... (not that this would be a bad thing!)

Is it just me*, or does anyone else get a bit annoyed at the unnecessary sacrifices in GoT? For example, why didn't the wood nymph thing just lob the grenade? That would have held the horde up as long as getting 'poetically stabbed in the face' like she did. Same goes for the direwolf, it lost it's life for no real time gain at all.

I guess this all comes from being a big fan of direwolves, and they're reputation of being awesome, and yet they seem to be getting picked off very quickly at the mo.

*yes

I thought exactly the same about the ball thing, and the wolf 😥

Some say she is still there today...

i wonder what was going through Hodors mind as he held that door shut?
he probably realised at that moment that the fit he had all those years ago was down to Bran warging into him and messing his head up...and Meera for telling him to "hold the door"

he should come back as a white walker just so he could give Bran a good kicking

the arya storyline is begining to bug me.

Yeah i'm wondering where it'll go too - she obviously sought sanctuary with the many faced mob & has gone through various blindings & thrashings to prove her worth, but she seems to be disenfranchised with it all now - she certainly didn't appear to be prepared to forget her old life when watching the play and questioned poisoning the older actress, she's no happy with the paid assassin duties & just wants to get back to stabbing bad guys up real bad.

(that guy did look like Kevin Eldon, in his Big Train days - I loved that Virginia Plain Chairman Mao sketch...)

one of them dragons struggled with a few Sons of the Harpy at Wembley, cant see them wiping out all those undead lunatics.

I am actually rooting for the white walkers now. All the 'goodies' are just so damn drippy.

Well, with the exception of these two...

The white walkers aren't even baddies now though. Just trying to do their job! And yet everyone seems to hate them. Like parking wardens really.

I've come to the conclusion that A Song Of Fire And Ice isn't referring to white walkers and dragons, but Tormund's lust for Brienne.

Like parking wardens really.

...that can reanimate the dead "sorry mate the corpse is already reanimated. it's in the system."

anyway, it's a "song of ice and fire", init two chosen ones, one of whom's male, cold, taciturn, dead for a time and bad at pub quizes and general knowledge erm, genrally, and tends to wrap up warm; the other is female, likes fire, dragons, tendency for clothes to fall off. I don't want to spoil anyone's denouement here, but come on...

anyway, only came here to say...

How can he be Lord Commander when he's on probation?

I know every British and for some reason Danish actor (that guy from Borgen's now popped up) who's ever been in anything is now in it, but this is the one I struggle with. Don't get me wrong, he's a fine comic actor and does a good job, but please don't tell me he's going be stripped to the waist in Pompeii II the sequel?

Trailer for episode 6:

Who is being chased in that opening scene?

Who is being chased in that opening scene?

Bran?

Bran and that girl that's dragging him. Quick glimpse of someone on a horse bowling in to save them...

Same goes for the direwolf, it lost it's life for no real time gain at all.

Symbolism innit?

Six wolves (the Stark crest), orphaned by a stag (the Baratheon crest) and given to each of the Stark children.

The death of each one relates to a key moment in the life or death of its owner.

Summer's death marked the point when Winter came for Bran.

It remains to be seen what Shaggydog's death means for Rickon!

Quick glimpse of someone on a horse bowling in to save them...

Benjen? Gendry? Blackfish?

One of the other mysteriously MIA characters?

Benjen? Gendry? Blackfish?

One of the other mysteriously MIA characters?

cant see it being Gendry...last we saw of him was when Davos let him go and told him to make his way back to Kings Landing.

Blackfish is getting the Tully army back together after retaking Riverrun from Waldor Frey.

only known individual that far north of the wall is Benjen...who went AWOL after series 2..cant see it being anyone else tBH

Yeah gotta be Benjen I think.
Isn't he Brans uncle or something?

Isn't he Brans uncle or something?

yes...he's Ned Stark's little brother

Trailers are for the WEAK!

Bring it on fresh and new next week

Can we say no spoilers until father the Monday night episode this week?

Thought it was kind of - thread is full of spoilers, avoid from Sunday night until you have seen it Monday.
