A cameo is supposed to be a bit more subtle. It certainly shouldn't have a "This song is new...off my latest album" feel to it
I don't think enough people even know who he is for it to be that glaring of a cameo, and he sure as shite isn't on par with the Kardashians, as drama boy asserts.

I just don't see why people give this much of a shite. I'm not trying to be "too cool for...." but I honestly had no idea who he was until after the episode. I think it's more likely that a lot of people don't like his band and are using this as an excuse to attack him.

It was glaring. It didn't bother me but everyone I know noticed it.

Idk, either. Other than it simply being "the scene that had Ed in it"

She knows Ceresi is batshit crazy. Hell, even Jaime looked at her like she had lost her shite when she talked about taking all of them on. They're talking about sending folks to Highgarden to obtain their graineries so they can march on all of the rest of them.

Sansa knows that Ceresi would be the kind to try to turn their own people against them if she has to. Or send someone like Euron.

Perhaps I should have clarified. When she brought up her thoughts, Jon gave his reasoning, that should have been that. They're both Stark blood, they both have claims. It's never good to have the king who was "crowned" less than 5 min ago be undermined by his sister publically

The actor who plays Walder Frey did a masterful job with that opening scene last night.

He's had number one albums in 25 countries. I think he's pretty well known

Oh and BTW: I thought the crown was broke? How is Cersei going to pay for any of this and will the Iron Bank collect on its debt?

Thats kinda my point though. Winterfell is too far inland for Euron to do anything. Lannister army couldnt survive that winter. There is no army that is currently a viable threat.

She would have to come up with something unconventional.

And then later she says he's a great ruler. The understanding has to be that no one's plan/thoughts/idea isn't above questioning especially the ruler. That's something Sansa has learned. She's been around all of these stubborn kings/queens who ignore council and don't truly consider the consequences. She's learning to play the game. I didn't agree with her, but she had a good point. And making that point, along with pressing it if she thinks necessary, is a good step forward for her and for a ruler who needs to trust her.

Very true. I listen to his music and I didn't even know that was him until I read it on here.

It was the best scene of the episode by far. His acting had a lot to do with that.

can't decide how far south the final battle will end, but I'm sure a few castles will fall. My take is either Winterfell or the Twins as a natural bottleneck.


Well we know Winterfell has some sort of heat source beneath it. It would make sense that you would fortify yourself there and try to harness the heat to use against White Walkers.


All this talk about Dany being fireproof made me wonder. Jon must be fireproof too, getting it from his father Rhaegar. I mean he bangs hot red head wildling (kissed by fire) and she can't kill him. His red headed half sister has some weird thing going with him. Next he will have the sex with the mother of dragons.

It's not that she questioned him or let him know the consequences, it's that she did it in front of all of the leaders in the north. You wanna question the king, you do it in private with him.

The double D's are all for the "strong woman" thing, but she's completely wrong in this.

Nope, but he isn't full blooded targaryen either.

She's actually his aunt. Her oldest brother is Jons father


Oops, see now you're talking about Sansa

I meant fireproof in his relations to hot broads. He's irresistible to chicks with heat.

**** Good catch on Sansa being a cousin and not sister.
