Therefore, it would not be a stretch for a non-book reader to guess Littlefinger's involvement if they simply remembered things from last season.


He's not present at the wedding. It makes as much sense as saying Arya is behind it from what the Hodors know.

I really hate it for the Hodors. Assholes can't help but keep posting shite they shouldn't know from only watching the show. Last page or two somebody is posting about a poisoned gem from Sansa's necklace. How the hell should they even know that?

Anyways, any close up gifs of Joffrey's purple face yet?

I think they work around the fake Arya story in the show.


All they need is for the Lannisters to back them with a fake Arya. I think we still get that plot.

They need to move quickly on this then, because Tywin's days are numbered.

I didn't see anything in the casting for a fake Arya or Jeyne Poole...

I think the show doesn't go down this road. It would only add confusion to the casual viewers in an already confusing story.

Ok, I saw the post everyone was up in arms about and I will agree that it is very suspicious.

Soooooo, never mind.

However, I can see it now. The ultimate "oh shite" moment...

Ramsey: "I have Arya Stark."
Roose: "Excellent. Bring her to me."

Episode ends....

Hodors would be like all in the same second!

So there's the vision/foreshadowing of snow covering the iron throne.. I know it is easy to say its a reference to Jon Snow, but is there a chance it isn't? There are lots of bastard snows up north. could this be a literal reference to the long winter that's coming, that will reach all the way to kings landing?

Why does it have to be snow? Could it be ash?

It's snowing in the throne room because the roof has been burned out by dragon fire.

Come on people!

ETA: could also be ash from byproduct of dragon fire

It looked more like snow than ash to me--and it was the exact setting/clip from the House of the Undying in S2.

Same here. It doesn't look to be ash at all, IMO. I believe there was a white buildup on the ground if I recall correctly.

especially if they show the girl, people will think they recast Arya

But when it accumulates it looks more gray than white. Just my opinion.

Someone is posting (inaccurately) the rules for Targaryen succession.

Well I'll admit that I've been with Lancel and Osmund but have yet to be with the third.

So - Watched the show (the wedding twice) and read the wedding chapter last night (again).

Overall, everything was done very well!

1.) I really imagined the wedding (accurately) as a larger affair indoors. In previous seasons (where I was a Hodor), I wondered what I would envision scenes like if I wasn't tainted by the show. This was my first opportunity.

2.) Hate the Shae/Tyrion thing like everyone else. Now viewers will feel sorry for Shae, with Tyrion treating her like a dog he wanted to run away

Either he will still kill her and viewers will have mixed emotions, or the show really did put her on a boat and will leave her story out.

I think it's just a reference to "Winter is Coming."
