You're still confusing me, though. Balon, Euron (Crow's Eye), Aeron (Damphair) and Victarion (Billy Badass) are all brothers. Unsure if Victarion is going to be in the show.

I get the nasty feeling they're going to combine Euron and Victarion for the show.

On the show the Kingdoms of Westeros- heavy is the head that wears the crown, seems like most of the kingdoms are in turmoil. Which one would you chose?

King's Landing- 14 year old King, (which is twice his age in the books),a Baratheon by name, and his Queen is in prison

Dragonstone- held by Stannis' forces, who was killed off two episodes ago

Storm's End- held by Stannis' forces, who was killed off two episodes ago

The Vale- held by House Arryn 10 year old sickly boy, who defers to his stepfather who is in KL

Winterfell held by House Bolton, Lord Bolton was killed last night along with his wife and new born

Dorne coup, Prince Doran was killed off along with his heir previous episode

Highgarden House Tyrell, Lord Mace is in KL, his heir in jail

Iron Islands Lord Greyjoy, killed off last night. His brother has announce their will be a kingsmoot

Castley Rock House Lannister, Kevan Lannister who is in KL

Riverrun House Frey? Or is Blackfish Tully waiting for Jamie to get back from Doran?


North of the Wall - White Walker king just chillin', growing his undead army, getting ready to wreck shite.

Legit Hodor here not one of you "born again" Hodors with a question about the "others". We have seen that Wights can be killed by fire and other conventional means correct? Whitewalkers have to be taken down with dragon glass or Valaryan steel. If this is true then it stands to think that unlike the Wights the white walkers will have to be dealt with via one on one combat and not just mowed down by dragon fire. I hope that's how it is because that means more cool sword battles like in Hardhomme.

You would be correct based on our current knowledge.

Go easy on him Tigertown, this brave Hodor is seeking to expand his knowledge base a little. This could be the first step on his road to becoming a Maester.

1. I don't think I would say wights can be 'killed.' More that they are basically dead slaves of the White Walkers that are only stopped once their body is destroyed (either with fire or by crushing them to bits).

2. Dragonglass is a result of volcano lava (someone correct me if I'm butchering science) and Valyrian steel may well be connected to dragon fire. I'm not sure a White Walker could survive a blast of fire from Drogon. Then again, that seems like it may be too easy.

Legit Hodor = never read the novels.

Born Again Hodor = Book readers who believe their GoT Hymen grew back once this season started.

I'm kidding of course. The middle ground thread is great and I hope it continues.

Anybody else not really give a shite about Pyke and the Kingsmoot? They are pretty much minor players and it just seems like it was put in to pacify book readers. Granted I'm not a reader and it may be the coolest shite since the Red Redding but from the outside looking in it seems meaningless on the periphery. Unless Theon becomes King and has the Iron Born fight for the North to atone for being a douchebag

I've read all the books and personally I thought the kingsmoot/iron islands story was dull and drawn out.

Alot of readers seem to be fired up about it though.

We have no idea where they will go with the Ironborn, though one thing of possible significant may be introduced.

Yeah, I always feel sure that it will come down to Varys, Littlefinger, and the Others... and then I forget about Euron. I'm still not sure where exactly he will fit into all this, due to being so separated from the main narrative.

I'm a book reader and I hated the Ironborn storyline. I skimmed through most of it. At this point the only possible good thing that could from that storyline is if they sail to Dany to help her cross the sea. None of us know where that storyline is going. Maybe they will kill them all off like they did Dorne.

I agree, but Euron isn't just going to sit by idly and let Dany just come to Westeros with her dragons. He's going to be doing something else.

Yes, basically set them on fire or smash their head in

Whitewalkers have to be taken down with dragon glass or Valaryan steel. If this is true then it stands to think that unlike the Wights the white walkers will have to be dealt with via one on one combat and not just mowed down by dragon fire.

Yea pretty much. But that's bad news for Jon and Co. since not many ppl have Valyrian Steel and i think the only dragonglass he had was left in the hut at Hardhomme. I'm hoping they can go to dragonstone and dragonglass can be easily gathered. It would be great if dragon fire also killed white walkers
