guess you can conclude from Eddard's findings of the Baratheon lineage that black hair has been a dominant male gene regardless of the hair color of mother


Yeah, and when he meets both of the Robert's bastards in King's Landing, the older boy (blacksmith) definitely has dark hair but tells Ned his mother's hair was yellow. The baby doesn't appear to have any hair in the episode but the light-haired hooker mommy says "she even has his black hair" (I guess there could be some black hair obscured by shadow, but they should have put a wig on that baby, she looked bald to me ).

yeah I picked up on the end when Dany said Dragons can't be killed by fire and her hands didn't burn when holding the eggs.

Quick question??? Do we ever see the dragon eggs hatch? Are they to be a part of this series?

Which is an interesting discussion seeing how some haven't seen Episode 7 and some may have, how do we keep the discussion separate?



You keep your whore mouth shut until next week.

Lysa accused the guy that fought for Tyrion of not fighting honorably. Other than sticking up for Tyrion, what did he do wrong?


He wore less armor so instead of just coming at him and fighting, he used his brains. He was quicker in his lighter armor without a shield so he let the knight wear himself out before he attacked him. The book describes a much longer fight and goes into more detail; it wasn't obvious from the show.

Another great episode. I also wished that the direwolves would have been involved with killing the wildlings, but I can understand the need to limit them in action sequences.

Yeah I was a bit disappointed as well with the dire wolves not munching on some intestines. I did appreciated the added beaver shot on the turnip cart though Still curious why the red headed whore is getting so much screen time.

That is REALLY curious. I don't understand the need for the red-headed whore, except to interact with and humanize and, ahem, flesh out Theon as a character.

It seems like screen time would be better spent on others, but, whatever. They've done an amazing job so benefit of the doubt.

Those were wildlings? Didn't pick up on it. Yeah, they looked like homeless drifters but how are these things getting past the wall?

I guess I thought the wildlings were more barbaric and had their own language... kind of like vikings.

The men were night watch deserters, the women were wildlings. They get around the wall at the edges where it meets water.

Also the first episode when her ladies were making a bath for her. They warned her it was to hot, but she just walked in like it was nothing. I didn't pick up on that until last night when she said Dragons couldn't be killed by fire.

Also sucky way to die for sure, but that dude was a D-Bag.

Can someone explain to me why that knight volunteered to fight for Tyrion Lannister? Did Tyrion know and expect that he would fight for him? How did he know?

He is not a knight.

He was the sellsword that came with them on the road. Tyrion and he seemed to get on well.

Tyrion made a calculated guess that the guy knew he would get paid large if he helped him.

Bronn isn't stupid. He knows Tyrion is going to pay bigtime for his services, and he is also very, VERY confident in his ability to defeat the Eyrie's champion. Did you notice his "whatever..." look on his face when he volunteered? Like he's done this sort of thing once or twice before.
