re: Game of Thrones S5 OFF-SEASON THREAD, NO SPOILERS/BOOKREADERS!

Anyone else like the scene with Tormund and Jon Snow?

He was actually likable and I would love to see him join stannis and Jon and become buds. Prolly wont happen but still

Hodor fighting reminds me of this guy..

Sounds like another poster confirmed that they are going to Braavos based on a spoiler

No, it sounds like another poster might just be smarter than you and can figure things out from context clues and doesn't need Arya singing her "I'm going to Braavos" song or wearing her "I'm going to Braavos and all I got was this fricking t-shirt" shirt or having the ship have a sign in big blinking lights on the side saying "this way to Braavos" to realize the ship is going to Braavos.

We really need another thread where no discussion is allowed, so the real HODORS can enjoy the show too. Or, you know, if you think everything's a spoiler, you can always stay out of any thread.

Now that I've recovered a little, my thoughts.

Awesome episode.

So Mance did send another group a few miles down to climb the wall...that's what we were talking about last week. Good call, Mance. Also thought it was funny that people were saying last week that there was no way Jon Snow would get to Mance, but he straight up just walked right up to him face to face.

So Mountain was poisoned by Oberyn...I still call bullshite that people randomly called that without knowing something (books, spoilers, etc.). I'm gonna be a little pissed if Mountain is transformed into some sort of Super Shredder thing. That would kinda suck.

When Tyrion went back, and I saw that it was Tywin's room and Shae was in there, I screamed at my TV "KILL THAT frickING BITCH!" After that, I really thought he was gonna kill Cersei. I didn't know if he could, mainly because it would've meant doing something bad to Jaime, whom he not only loves but literally just had helped him escape. But when he sees Tywin on the toilet, I immediately prepared myself for the worst. Tywin went out like a boss as best as he could though.

And Cersei telling Tywin about her and Jaime was an odd scene...how the frick could he not know about that? He's made reference to the rumors several times, so even if you don't believe it, once you hear it, you can't be shocked. Of course, not that it matters anymore anyway since he's dead. I was hoping we'd get some Lena Heady nudity at least...color me disappointed.

fricking Hound getting beat by Brienne? Get the frick out of here, show. No fricking way. I am holding off hope that he can make it, but I assume he is/will be dead. I was hoping that Arya would've saved him and he would've finally let her burn his wounds closed, but that didn't seem to happen. Even in the end when she saw those ships, I was hoping she was getting supplies to help save him, but frick that too I guess. On the flip side, I'm pumped to see how Arya is fleshed out next season...I just hope that because she'll be in Braavos that she doesn't become a nonstory (a la Dany).

I love Stannis/Davos, so at least that story is getting interesting.

And at least Bran's finally making some progress. Maybe now I won't want to turn off my TV when he comes on. Oh, and peace out, Jojen...you won't be missed. I did almost lose my shite when it looked like Hodor got stabbed..I was like this is too much.

Dany. UGH. So now not only are you sticking around in fricking Slaver's Bay/Mereen, but she locks up her dragons as well? So her boring, uninteresting storyline actually managed to get worse? And she's such a shitty "leader" that people are now requesting to go back into slavedom where, you know, "life was good." Good Lord. Can someone just kill that chick soon so we can at least focus on shite that will matter in the future? My only hope is that the Drogon dragon is still out there, so maybe he can frick some shite up at some point. If the dragons become a backburner story in this shite, I will be pissed off, because they've spent SO many seasons now building those bastards up.

frick you, Tyrion. I mean, you're like an abusive husband, so I still love you and I can't quit you...but frick you, man. I will be bitter about this for a while.

All in all, awesome episode, and good to finally sort of see some of the different plots combine with each other.

I am guessing this show is going to get a lot more fantastical now. Really really hate this whole the Mountain only sort of being dead thing.

The fight between Hound and Brienne was great. Brienne may be the best warrior in the GoT universe.

At least next season I will get a lot of Stannis. Also hopefully Roose, Ramsay and Walder get their shite wrecked.

I don't think the wizard in the box was taken with Varys. It looked to me that he was sitting next to a box with holes in it, similar to the box that Tyrion hid in.

I think the whole wizard story with Varys was just to prove a point of how powerful Varys is. And also foreshadowing to Tyrion getting his revenge, which he got this episode when he killed his father.

I think that wizard has to come out of the box and do some crapping himself at some point.

It was Taco Tuesday in Kings Landing that did Tywin in.

So the old man in the tree told Bran that he wouldn't walk, but he would fly.

Bran has had visions of a dragon flying over King's Landing.

Bran is gonna warg a dragon and ride it. That's my theory.

Yeah, I think him warging into dragons is the most plausible given his vision of a dragon flying over KL. That vision was him controlling that dragon and seeing the dragon's POV. I hope it plays out like this because it would be so badass. Can you imagine Jon controlling an army with Bran flying overhead with a dragon backing him up? Fap.

I don't know why yall hate on Bran's storyline so much. I love it. I think it's obvious he is going to play a HUGE role in the grand scheme of things.
