I was just watching a review and someone mentioned that Petyr Baelish had a female following? which for some reason surprises me.

The way the show breaks this up is kinda wonky. When Bran is viewing current events he sees it through animals (ex: birds watching the white walkers), but for viewing events in the past we see him physically standing there (ex: Hodor, Rhaegar & Lyanna's marriage, Ned being given Jon). It's a strange difference because why bother spying through animals at all? How long after something happens does it become "the past"?

Does he have to wait a day to watch Dany & Jon bang on Hulu?

He did spy on the nightking as a human before, which lead to him getting caught and that's how his other self + a bunch of his allies died and how hodor came to be. When he later spied on the army with ravens he also immediately broke the link when the nightking looked at him, probably fearing the same thing.

Scouting with the crows is I guess a safer way to do it or w/e.

It felt a bit out of character for him not to realize he was gonna get punked and disappear before the hammer fell but overall I wasn't too upset with the scene.

Jon is really lucky he somehow got black hair. If he had Targ hair someone might have guessed. As far as we know he's the only Targ ever born that didn't get the platinum blond hair.

Pretty sure that's due to Targs almost always loving other Targs to keep the line pure. I imagine the platinum hair is pretty recessive and every other hair colour dominant.

Did I maybe miss why Rhaegar null and voided his marriage and two kids, or was he just a shitstain going LOL new teen bride for me!

In the books Elia is described as being super sickly and unable to really do much, which one can imagine is a point of frustration given Rhaegar's personality/hobbies. Not that is justifies anything but there's a little bit more reason to it.

e: One of the major themes in these books is "idiot nobles doing idiot things causing poo poo tons of problems for everyone else."

I never understood why the Kingsguard were just chilling outside the Tower. Like, Rhaegar's dead, shouldn't you be moving his bitch and kid off somewhere safe?

She was in the middle of giving childbirth, what were they supposed to do?


quote:

“I looked for you on the Trident,” Ned said to them.

“We were not there,” Ser Gerold answered. “Woe to the Usurper if we had been,” said Ser Oswell.

“When King's Landing fell, Ser Jaime slew your king with a golden sword, and I wondered where you were.”

“Far away,” Ser Gerold said, “or Aerys would yet sit the Iron Throne, and our false brother would burn in seven hells.”

“I came down on Storm's End to lift the siege,” Ned told them, and the Lords Tyrell and Redwyne dipped their banners, and all their knights bent the knee to pledge us fealty. I was certain you would be among them.”

“Our knees do not bend easily,” said Ser Arthur Dayne.

“Ser Willem Darry is fled to Dragonstone, with your queen and Prince Viserys. I thought you might have sailed with him.”

“Ser Willem is a good man and true,” said Ser Oswell. “But not of the Kingsguard,” Ser Gerold pointed out. “The Kingsguard does not flee.”

“Then or now,” said Ser Arthur. He donned his helm.

“We swore a vow,” explained old Ser Gerold.

Ned’s wraiths moved up beside him, with shadow swords in hand. They were seven against three.

“And now it begins,” said Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning. He unsheathed Dawn and held it with both hands. The blade was pale as milkglass, alive with light.

“No,” Ned said with sadness in his voice. “Now it ends.”

Reading between the lines: Ned is telling them that Rhaegar is dead (they know already), that Aerys is dead (they know already), that the war is over (the other lords bent the knee). He's trying to figure out wtf they are doing there still then and ofc the answer is protecting their king as Ned finds out.

Cowslips Warren posted:

Did Ned kill all those midwives too? I mean, if it was so important no one knew Jon Snow was a prince, shouldn't all those ladies taking care of Lyanna been buried in unmarked graves?

They weren't in the book which makes sense given that Ned and Howland Reed are supposed to be the only ones that know what happened that day and they aren't ones to slaughter a bunch of innocent midwives.

i didnt think it was bad. just kinda a little eh. it didnt feel as earned as ramsey/trant/slynt/joffery. i guess it was because the show tried to make it look like a surprise and twist but everyone saw it coming. plus personaly, he died to fast.

The dumbest loving death was Mance Rayder (Ciaran loving Hinds!) who died for absolutely no reason whatsoever. It was even worse because Tormund replaced Mance immediately and they made believe like he never existed. Why didn't they do the Rattleshirt fake-out? Basically everything in season 5 was dull Mereen or King's Landing bullshit and inexplicable deaths that came out of nowhere, besides that one cool rear end Hardhome episode.

I don't know, take the baby and ride away before someone like Ned shows up? Lyanna ain't doing poo poo.

As for Elia being sickly, yes, in the books. And seriously Rhaegar should have loving smothered her after she had the second baby because no one could have proved it wasn't due to her being weak, and if nothing else, a faster death than the Mountain.

That said, the show will be redeemed if at the end, we see a bunch of loving wights tear into the Reed house and take Meera up North, so she can be the new Night Queen with Bran the Night King.

It's really weird how they completely wrote Meera out of the show ever since her brother randomly died and Bran became Raven Dude, as if the writers never cared about her as a character. Which sucks because she was pretty cool and had good chemistry with the whole crew.
