Doctor Butts posted:How the gently caress did Shireen get greyscale? Shireen got greyscale because she didnt like any of her toys and Stannis bought her a new toy from a foreign merchant and the toy infected Shireen with greyscale when she cuddled with it. Greyscale is a common and deadly disease that breaks out once in a while in the good version of the story (the books)

My take on the Hodor thing is that Hodor really isn't simple in the Orson Lannister way. That little flash of the eyes was young him warging into old him right as he was dying. So he's not simple, he's just literally dead inside courtesy of Bran and Bloodraven.

We made White Walkers as a weapon... against you! While a cool revelation, I know I have seen this exact reveal before. There was a variation of it in Serenity. But where was the exact version? One of the Alien movies maybe? Drawing a blank.

Making a weapon to destroy an enemy only to meet a bad end at the hands of that weapon is a pretty well worn narrative hook.

Well, I don't think I've ever been more wrong about anything than I was about Hodor... in my defence though: loving hell. Did anyone notice that the White Walker Meera shanked with the spear appears to be the same guy that Jon took out at Hardhome? A casting oversight, or evidence that the White Walkers can somehow reform themselves after they're "killed"?

Hodor.  Kid Hodor didn't Hodor like our Hodor. The accent was completely different. Still, he got to Hodor and he did so well enough, a fine role to add to his acting resume.

To add to this, Stannis mentions "a new father must have seemed like an easy target" Its implied that the merchant who sold Stannis the doll for Shireen did so knowingly having infected the doll with greyscale. It was a trap for Stannis / assassination plot for Shireen. Batham posted:The only big disappointment during this episode was when that king didn't drown during his coronation. Euron actually drowning would have been hilarious, especially since he considers himself the Drowned God in the flesh.

Kristin Nairn Hodor's actor) did an interview with EW and insisted that the ending was pretty open-ended. Could become a white walker, could have escaped. So I'm guessing we haven't seen the end of Hodor.

Can you imagine how crazy Max Von Sydow must have been by the end? He had to watch like 50 seasons of Game of Thrones while he was stuck in that tree, keeping his own wiki the whole time so he'd know what to tell Bran. So much Dorne. He probably doesn't even care when there are boobs any more.

So can Bran only travel back to times and areas where those old trees are planted? Is he going to go all the way back to when Bran the Builder was around and we find out he was warging into him to build the wall? I'm just wondering why those elves literally killed themselves just to get Bran out. He must be about to do something big that effects things in the past.

vyelkin posted:If he gets anywhere at all without dying of exposure or white walker attack it'll be a goddamn miracle As someone who grew up in a place like "Above the wall" realistically they wouldn't. All those Crasters wives would be dead too. Pretty much you got less than an hour without the wind and blizzard. With those conditions like last night they got about 10 minutes tops barring some 1 in a million miracle story. If they survived they have serious frostbite on their ears, noses and pretty much any exposed or lightly covered flesh. Hell it can happen even if they are covered well and just walking around if they don't remember to flex their fingers and toes in their gloves/boots every so often. Luckily this is a story realm and this north is far easier to walk around in. Its chuckle worthy for me as I watch it. If they do it right they can make a harrowing chase sequence ala the Shining. I still am pissed they didn't call Summer the Wolf to come follow them as they could have tied Bran's lil cot as a makeshift sled. Or at least use him to help keep them safe as he slowly got more and more injured. I really just hate seeing the wolves die in general. Phi230 posted:Rhaegar prophesied that one of his children would be the Prince that was Promised. Serious question: where do you book guys get this past detail stuff (example: the prophecy)? I don't want to go in that thread as I don't want any other question answered but this one and I want to try and remain spoiler free. I read three (?) of the books after starting the show but there was almost never any details like the ones you guys speak of. I didn't really like the books so I stopped but can read wiki. That same wikipedia mentions the books after I stopped seemed like really nothing but what we have seen on the show or less. Did Martin actually contribute this stuff online via blog or is this fan made history? I keep hearing this stuff from you book dudes and it doesn't make me go rawr as much as just wonder where it keeps coming from.

This show has really jumped the shark. I can't decide what was dumber about the ending: the zombies literally running on the ceiling, the Farscape girl blowing herself up or the reveal that one of the characters was called "Hold the door".
