From what I remember.

- The mad King was being a cruel a-hole
- R + L happens
- Brandon (and his father?) flip out and go to KL to seek redress
- Mad King has them killed
- Ned and Robert freak and are summoned to KL
- Rebellion starts in full

blaming R+L for everything in that sequence is ridiculous. Especially when you include all the Mad King's bullshite that turned so many against him.

Either way I don't think Henry has any actual desire to have a real discussion about this. He already hates R + L and is going to be miserable about it no matter what.

That's fine, but here are my Top 5

1) Blackwater
2) Hardhome
3) Baelor
4) Rains of Castamere
5) Kissed by Fire

I'd at least sleep on it before declaring it a Top 5. Hell of a good episode, but I wouldn't call it a Top 5. I think you'd at least say the same when Joffrey died.

Of course not. He's on the internet spewing venom and idiocy like a good 65% of the internet does when it isn't jerking off to porn

Yeah...i could go full crackpot and say that I think Littlefinger ran to Brandon saying Lyanna was "kidnapped"
Knowing that hot head would go full retard to Red Keep and call Rhaegar out...possible preventing him from marrying Cat...but I won't.

But yeah, Rickard Stark went to see about Brandon and they were both tortured and killed...which affected Jaime bigtime...then called for Ned and Robert...Jon Aryn said F no and war.

Thinking it through, man do I identify with Jaime. He's the one who is truly right in all of this. Bar none my favorite character.

Jon coming back is one of the biggest things in the series. It's something we've all been wanting to know since ADWD came out. I don't think she's being unreasonable.

This episode was superb from start to finish.

FWIW, I know HJJ in real life and he really doesn't care for the whole Jon Snow revival bit. And hasn't for awhile. He has read the books and we've had our fair share of lively discussions over it. I've been giving him shite since he finished the books about his disdain over it.

I definitely don't agree with him, but I can definitely vouch that he's not trolling anyone.

But there are 6 seasons. Let's just see where this episode takes us. I loved this episode, it was great, but I'd want to sit on it for the night before declaring it one of the Top 5. They've set a very high bar.

Amazing episode. I have to make a top 5 episodes list. This one might be top 5

Next episode is ToJ...and purists will probably bitch about how it wasn't verbatim to the books or how they didn't picture Arthur Dayne looking like the actor. Hell, a few fans were already complaining about the Kingsguard armor.

So here is my big theory why they havnt released who is cast as Lyanna stark. It is because the person playing her is going to be the girl who plays Meera Reed confirming her and Jon are twins.

But you already know with certainty how the series ends 2 books prior to its release, so why bother discussing with you.


When did i ever say, or even begin to imply that is with certainty?

You really must not have many friends

People are going to bitch about everything on this kind of show. Adapting a show from a book is always going to divide people. People picture things differently from reading the books. Personally I love the direction except for Dorne (which sucked anyway). And the Danny stuff is going kinda slow. I expect then to focus on her much more in the upcoming episodes.

Jon Snow dies again when the little fricker who stabbed him in the first place escapes prison and stabs him in the head with a toothbrush shiv. Book it.

Can't wait... but shite, I really wish they'd do it in this manner, but I understand they'd need to vastly increase their budget to do so: LINK
