The only part of the Battle episode that was stupid to me was that Ramsay used his last shot to kill a dying giant while Jon was standing right there wide open.

Eh, but it wasn't his last shot. Unless he read the script and saw that his second-plus shots were going to be successfully blocked, he was going to kill both of them anyway.

I think there was actually a very understandable non-emotional reason for the charge. Either the writers didn't think of it, or they didn't have Jon voice it after the battle.

Ultimately, it would've been for the best if they did the same thing with it as AFFC/ADWD's other short stories (Quentyn, fAegon, Victarion), drop entirely, but alas.

There are photos with Jaime with Widow's Wail and Arya with the dagger. Widow's Wail was never buried with Joffrey. That was a wake, not a burial. It's been sitting in the Red Keep armory. Arya will probably not have the dagger in 7x01, so you'll have to wait to see how she gets it. The last time we saw it was in Ned's office when Ned and Littlefinger were discussing bribing the goldcloaks. Littlefinger probably has it.

I think the fact that they included Dawn in the show was just a nod to bookreaders and not something they're going to focus on later. And like someone else said, whatever its significance is going to be the books, it's not Valyrian steel.

Yeah, I think that was just an Easter egg. Like House Hornwood being in the anti-Ramsay alliance.

Did Ned say "I am here, SISTER OF MINE THAT IS DEAD IN THE CURRENT TIMELINE" in the tower scene? If not I can see people not even knowing who she was and think Ned is just raising some random baby as his.

How am I supposed to hear those lines when I got shitposting on TVIV to do?

All of mine mostly had it worked out before the show made it blatantly obvious.

My sister spent years thinking that Robert and Lyanna were Jon's parents and easily transitioned to Rhaegar after ToJ. Lots of show people didn't have trouble with it.

The vernacular of the show has never been as old-timey as the books (per usual in all medieval and pseudo-medieval shows and movies). It's different when you have to have real people delivering lines.

The other thing I remember was there being something about him accidentally being at the wrong table and had to move, which I'm pretty sure was a lie, and he purposefully sat in someone else's seat in an effort to double up his Gurm time.

The problem with Wun Wun goes both ways. Those spearmen could've been lunging at him and he'd be magnet for crossbow bolts, but they're pretty gentle with him until he starts knocking. He should've died sooner. A quick fix would've been to have the battle in two places. Jon and the first wave getting crushed by Ramsay's men, while Davos and the Wildlings fight Umber's men elsewhere, too far away to help in time.

The worst part about that battle was that there were no people on either side freaking out going "OH MY GODS GIANTS ARE REAL".

No one cares what extras think.

Assuming he came up with this while writing ASoS and not recently, can the Gurm explain why fire wights die conventionally while ice wights keep moving until you burn them?

Everything twisted or morally ambiguous Tyrion, Jon or Daenerys did in the books was completely scraped in the case of the former 2, or played with fanfare BGM to lead the viewer into believing it was ok in the case of the latter.



Not having Peter Dinklage rape a slave girl is likely for the best.
