Like I've said I'm not that far along in the books.

I thought she knew the Language but thought it was going to be to easy to say Dany is gonna take the soldiers and make them clean house and have the dragon burn the guy. It was to obvious in my opinion. I believe I said it last week in the non book readers thread.

I'm not complaining or anything just was predictable IMO. I think it's cheating to get the soldiers and turn them against the guy

Like I said liked the episode wish John and rob were in it.

Okay, I was vaguely aware of the little bastard character (why I never speculated about him) but don't know anything about him.

Should it be clear to me that there are 2 different factions within Theon's family and the torturers are his fathers men?

Or is that all just bullshite? Are those at least his father's men?

I think it's pretty stupid to hand over all the soldiers in your city to someone knowing those soldiers will now obey her every command without question.

Any answers could contain potentially important plot points, so I will refrain from answering for now, at least in this thread.

I promised no future spoilers and I don't want to be the first to break my own rules.

Last episode Tyrion bought Pod some prostitutes and they gave him back the money for their services, which has left everyone puzzled.

Okay, that's the answer I need.

I just thought it might be something I missed.

And I suppose it's obvious that all of Theon's men just disappeared with no explanation.

That just shows the cockiness of the slavers. No one had ever DARED do anything like that before because no one had ever been able to buy ALL of the Unsullied before. Because of this and that the warriors are supposed to be the most potent fighting force in the known world (I say this because they are the only army to have defeated a Dothraki horde - which is how they became famous), the slavers became cocky and complacent.


And now they're toast. Literally.

Next week on Game of Thrones, Jon Snow finally gets laid.

ETA: and was I the only one to catch that the Brotherhood worships the lord of fricking light?

Thoros of Myr, the guy who found Arya at the inn, was once a red priest.

Not gonna go back and read the thread but all that "these episodes are boring" talk is done with right?


Stu basically just shite all over all of the cool shite that is going on.

Yes, Thoros and the Brotherhood follow the Lord of Light. He is a Red Priest as well. I think The Hound called him that when they first met in the show.

Don't see how that could happen. There's only as many threads as there are kingdoms in Westeros.

What do you want a cookie and a hand clap?

He hasn't been shown much. Remember in season 1 when Ned was the hand, and people were coming saying that The Mountain was running around burning, looting, and raping? Then Ned sent a group after him? Beric Dondarrion was the leader of that crew. Somewhere along the line, he joined in with the Brotherhood (the 2 groups melded together).

Not even sure if they showed Beric in the first season. He was mentioned, but I think that's it. Really all you need to know is that Ned sent him and some select knights out to kill Gregor Clegane (the Mountain/the Hound's older brother), but since then they've been prowling the riverlands fighting for the weak.
