A much narrower focus this week. No Kings Landing, no Dorne, not even a glimpse at Winterfell to see what the Bastard was up to. This episode focused on the Stark kids, with some tidings from across the narrow sea.

Arya had a slightly more interesting episode this week, being forced to confront events she knew about as related through a mummer’s farce. She has had to hide her identity throughout, especially for these trials, but she’s quickly learning that the God of Many Faces can be as unjust as killing without a process.

We spent some time up at Castle Black, and we learn that Jon and Sansa plan to corral all the undeclared houses to retake Winterfell, which they’ll then use as a bulwark against all comers. Littlefinger also has a secret meeting with Sansa, where he offers the use of the Vale’s army. Finally leaving Castle Black to seek out allies, Jon leaves long-time pal Dolores Edd to face whatever’s coming to the Wall.

Daenerys departs Vaes Dothrak with her newly won Dothraki horde, but not without a proper goodbye to Jorah, commanded to seek out a cure for his grayscale problem and return when healthy. Good luck with that.

Over on the Iron Isles, the Dragon Queen is the subject of plans too. Euron, who joined the show a couple of weeks ago when he murdered his brother, candidly admits his crime, apologises for not doing it sooner and speaks of being the fleet for Daenerys’ return home. Before he completes his coronation, his niece and nephew have done the offs with the fleet. He’ll have to build more.

Up at the Weirwood tree, Bran learns the danger of unsupervised forest-based Internet browsing, when he stumbles into a vision with White Walkers, who immediately spot him, the Night’s King tagging him with a palm print. This apparently allows him to know Bran’s location at all times, and allows him access to the Weirwood tree, leading to one of the most gut-wrenching endings (or is it?) we’ve seen so far.

We also discovered where White Walkers come from. They were created by the Children of the Forest to fight the encroachment of men. Well, fancy that.

Good episode. The series is really starting to move again. If we can have all parties on their way or to in Westeros by the end of the season for a big bitching final season showdown, that’ll be lovely, ta.

He’s not in a great spot at the end of that episode. I may need to watch it again, but my understanding was that the Night’s King knows where he is. He either needs to lose that mark or get rescued by something or someone.

Cunt move IMO. Hello mate, how you doing? Would you mind if i turned you into a retard so that in 30yrs time you can hold a door closed for me? Not keen? Tough.

Bit fucked up when you think about it.

I’d have thought he was the only character North of the Wall still able to make a difference, if he’s even alive.

There are all sorts of theories doing the rounds after the Hodor incident, none of them very far fetched when you consider what happened last night.

It’s time-loop-tastic. Hodor was always destined to speak like that because of something Bran did in the past. How many other events have been influenced by him?

The Indy, never afraid to speculate on anything GoT, reckons he could have been involved in a couple of things. Could he be the reason Aerys II went mad? Is he the same Bran as Bran the Builder, the original constructor of the Wall and supposedly a Stark ancestor?

I don’t get the sense that Bran will change the timeline, more the sense that like Hodor, the effects of everything he has done have already affected the GoT universe.

I think what happened is that the writer bro invented a retard character who could only say his own name, and then some years later someone thought haha wouldn’t it be funny & dumb & annoy bearsy if it turns out he wasn’t saying hodor all along, he was saying holddoor haha RIP

252

Are you suggesting that George R.R. Martin writes specifically to piss you off and that all the fame, money, wheels of cheese and never getting around to finishing a novel series is just the cost of doing business?

I’m just saying that it seems to me like he’s just making it up as he goes along, almost like it’s not a true story. Some of the stuff just seems too Unlikely + Convenient.

254

C’mon dude. People were raised from the dead in episode one. Dragons were suckling at the nips of a pale-skinned Khaleesi by the end of season one.

The time to complain about Unlikely or Convenient passed long ago.
