<p>Finally caught up, enjoyed this episode but now having read through this thread there do seem to be a few holes. Just on that scene showing the ships that Theon and sis were taking, did that actually show the ships leaving? I mean the large amount of ships looked pretty static, could they be anchored and only a few be gone hence the comment 'they've taken our best ships'? Hoping that is the case cause the number seriously don't match up with all that chanting the uncle got in the vote-off.</p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The chanting was not unanimous, and the Asha Greyjoy is very popular amongst many as she has been around locally leading raids whilst the uncle was off adventuring.</p> -
<p>yeah I'm guessing those in attendance were more likely just 'Lords' or similar give the numbers they would have needed to take the ships.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And given the reaction by Uren you have to expect they have taken them all, although you'd think he woulda been a bitmore angry, given it must surely take about 3-6 months to build 1 ship, and he wants a fleet...it'd take him years to replace the fleet, especially with the numbers that have fled with Asha and Theon.</p> -
<p>I think we already know that this season will culminate in one (possibly) two set piece battles. One at Winterfell and one at Mereen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The assembling of forces have been Littlefinger's, John Snow's, the Greyjoy's on one hand (with hints that others like the Freys may get involved as well) then Dani has the Unsullied and the Dothraki plus her dragons.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pre-season talk was all about the filming of a massive set battle somewhere in Ireland. </p> -
<p>Ireland is a long way from Winterfell!</p>

<p>I think they had to find a dismal looking place and Taumaranui doesn't have any large enough expanses of open ground.</p> -
My hands are cold!!!!

<p>Well after todays episode, finally the sides are becoming much clearer.</p>
<p>You can pretty much see who will be fighting who and probably where.</p> -
<p>Poor episode. Worst of this season by far. Advance apologies for not knowing everyones name, I'm more of a Star Wars geek.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Brann spends the whole of the first few minutes being the useless, spaced out fucken deadweight that he is while whatshername bravely drags his arse through the snow. They get saved from the undead in the nick of time though. Fuck Brann is a tiresome character.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Aya has decided she doesn't want to be in the club anymore so guess that'll be interesting to see what happens. Her mentor who looks like he should be fronting Whitesnake or Poison seemed most disappointed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sam goes back to his Dad who predictably still thinks he's a big fat pussy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Walder Frey makes an appearance and is still a horrible cantankerous old arsehole.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jaime confronts High Sparrow just as there is hope that Marjory is gonna get her gears off and do the walk of shame which would be pleasing on the eye. High Sparrow pussies out and there isn't even a big fight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cool to see a big dragon at the end and to hear Bronn and the Mountain get mentioned but next few episodes best improve on that and quicksmart.</p> -
I usually just fast forward through the Arya parts. Apart from some (admittedly wonderful) breasts, her scenes seem to be nothing more than her smashing sticks together with that prudish looking bitch and then having the French pervert looking dude saying something weird about "a girl".<br><br>
Yes it was a crap episode (apart from Benjin). I wonder if many people actually remember who tf Walder Frey is. The Sam stuff was a massive waste of precious time.<br><br>
Next week promises to be better though. The Blackfish-Jamie confrontation should be good. -

<p>Expect that's why Walder mentioned the red wedding...seems he still hasn't found out what Ramsay did to his daughter otherwise that would surely be a priority, cos he seems quite big on dealing with people that cross his family....<br><br>
I thought Jamie had gone off Cersei, well at least as the sister-fucking-brother part gone off in the books?<br><br>
The whole Sam story seems pointless, am sure it'll have some tenuous link to tie it back.<br><br>
I guess they had to introduce 2 more stories to allow Uren plenty of time to find trees to make ships, and with that, Dany mentions needing ships and there is a huge fleet recently taken from the Iron Islands...<br><br>
I suppose with Marjory out of lock up, we should see less of the high sparrow fluffybunny, so one way of reducing his screen time (hopefully) without killing him, so obviously saving him for something else.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, very few people seem to die of hypothermia despite spending a lot of time trudging about in the absolute freezing conditions</p> -
<p>So in summary: No nudity, no violence. Next episode please. I hope the producers aren't going soft on us... been a while since a major character got his/her head chopped off. And Hodor doesn't count as a "major" character.</p>

<p>Wee bit of violence at the start with Benjin dealing to a few undead but nothing too exciting. No titties at all.....as I mentioned though hoped we'd see Marjory get her gears off, if not then a massive fight. Got neither.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TR mentioned hypothermia, surely Brann is a candidate while lying prone in freezing conditions ? at least other characters actually, you know, move and all that ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Walders daughter is the fat one who Ramsay set the dogs on right ? ( again, I know Star Wars backwards, struggle a bit here and there with GOT, first two seasons I had DVD foldouts detailing the family trees which was very helpful )</p> -
<p>Disagree, that episode was pretty important for setting things up, in fact it was kinda momentous in that regard. We know now how final stanzas will play out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dorne and the rest of the south including Kings Landing are now ruled by twats that will look good impaled on the end of Dothraki Spears and roasted by dragon fire. In the middle you have a bunch of likeable characters including the Blackfish and soon Jamie Lannister. Chuck in a couple of big armies up north and you have a recipe for a big fight there as well.</p>
<p>Then you have Sam completing his mission to get a sword capable of actually killing a white walker, that sword will presumably find itself headed north.</p> -

<p>You make some good points I'll give you that ( don't think you need to bother with spoilers, this thread is enter at your own risk ). Sam not standing up to the old man irked me. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Can someone enlighten me on that "many faced god" bloke ? we see him cutting the face off someone with a knife, I assumed he has some sort of supernatural powers.</p> -
<p>Maybe when Walder finds out about Ramsay allowing his daughter to be dog tucker, he will divert his troops? I mean the Red Wedding was down to Rob Stark breaking a promise to marry a Frey daughter, imagine what he'd do if someone killed one of his many kids!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jon Snow has a sword of Valerian steel doesn't he? But he is heading away from the Walkers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Musta been extra tough for Dany to learn her lines in a made up language (or is Dothraki based on an existing language?)</p> -

<p>I need a refresher I think, better half and I did some serious binge watching over the Summer break but I almost feel we shoulda taken notes. Neither of us could genuinely remember if Walder Frey was alive or not.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That Red Wedding scene was ruthless as fuck. Robb Starks hot wife getting killed was particularly heartbreaking.</p> -
<p>well I think the jury is still out on Walder Frey being alive or not!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Shame of it is, in the books Mrs Stark is alive!</p> -

<p>Stink, in a show full of hot women she was one of the best in my opinion.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I agree though, you can only assume he doesn't know what Ramsay has done ? news travels fast or slow up north depending on the whims of the writers and how it effects the plot at the time. He's a lunatic as well ( not in Ramsays league ) so wouldn't be surprised if the betrayal by the Starks is more of an insult to him than murdering one of his kids to be honest.</p> -

<p>He couldnt give a flying fuck about one of this kids being killed.. but what would really fuck him off is his grandson being killed off as he was going to the heir of Roose Bolton.</p>
