šŸ‰ šŸ’ŗ āš” Game Of Thrones /spoilers

In the books, itā€™s revealed that some Targaryan monarchs married their siblings. Another peculiarity of the family is that they sometimes practiced legal polygamy.

We know Jon Snow is not a Stark. He may not even be a bastard.

He could be (drum roll) true born Targaryan.

Oh, and btw,

  1. kudos to the writers of the way they handled Elleria Sand. Itā€™s much more evil than my plan.
  2. my plan is still a go-er.

She must be itching to unleash the dragons. Trouble is Cersei has her anti dragon spear chucking machines now so expect some dragon casualties

The books are called a Song of Fire and Ice.

I think Cersei will take out the dragon Viserys with those ballistas, Daenerys will continue to ride Drogon and rather aptly, Jon Snow will end up riding Rhaegar, named after his dad, into the final battle with the dead.

I think this season is all about settling the War of the Thrones.

Weā€™ve seen that the dragons can be hurt by small arrows so why not a nice Dragon helmet?

Young Master C_S is well into this shit. Has read the books and is watching the latest series. Heā€™s been in. Denmark for the last week or so, got back last night and literally went straight to watch it on catch up.

Thinking seriously of hiring @intiniki to do a social care removal on a private basisā€¦

And dragon armour. The arenā€™t very mobile on the ground.

We avoid taking children into care unless really really necessary but could maybe suggest some parenting advice. Turn off the internet. See how that goes. :laughing:

The show is further on than the books, and seems, weirdly enough, to be at its zenith at the moment. Iā€™m perfectly aware that Iā€™m going to have a richer time in the books, eventualy, if I skip over the scenes where RR Martin is describing everyone tucking into cheesewheels, but this season has got a momentum that the others have lacked.

No disrespect to seasons last. Iā€™ve been watching some of the highlights on YouTube. Superb stuff.

And you think turning of the interweb is going to seriously inconvenience a 16 yo pumped full of hormones from getting back on line to get his fix of porn and GoT - in that order?

Do you do removals for cash?

Episode 4 has leaked online. Apparently, Star India, a distributor, are the source of the leak.

Iā€™ve read some comments which suggest it is the best episode so far.

Yep, starts slowly. The last 10 minutes is just jaw droppingly awesome

Yeah, excellent episode - looking forward to the implications of R + L = J being revealed as the season progresses (for the book readers amongst us).

Seems like the logical way for this series to go with it focusing on Kings Landing and the squabbles right up until the end of the season before hasty alliances are needed as oh shit thereā€™s a final season to make stakes for and an Army of the dead in those hills yonderā€¦

It was something special.

I know that people are mostly thinking of the sequence with Daenerys, the Dothraki and the dragon when shrieking their howls of pleasure, and make no mistake - it was excellent - one of the most impressive scenes Iā€™ve seen on television, certainly the best Iā€™ve seen in broad daylight.

Some other highlights. The remaining Starks are mostly back together, and its striking just how much each has grown in power, especially when the episode does such a good job of illustrating it. Bran is a _proper _know it all, Arya is one of the best fighters (more of a rogue, but still) in the world, Sansa has developed or inherited a ruthlessness from her experiences, while Jon Snow may just end up saving the world.

The scenes between Littlefinger and the Starks are delicious. This is a man that has been pulling strings, shaping the world of others, who at the beginning of the episode, clearly thinks heā€™s still in control. His chat with Bran is obviously predicated on him believing that male primogeniture was still applicable to the young male Stark. He ends up leaving it, ashen-faced. One wonders whether he might have tried stabbing Bran if Meera hadnā€™t turned up when she did. By the time Arya is staring up at him after her courtyard battle, he looks positively ashen faced. Chaos is starting to look like a snake, rather than a ladder. Littlefinger has also had a run in with Jon lately, and Sansa clearly doesnā€™t trust him. Iā€™d be surprised if he was still around at the end of the season.

After disappointment last week that we only got to see Bronn of the Blackwater, and not actually hear him speak any lines, the show rectified that big time this week. Prior to the arrival of Daenerys and her dragons, the military convoy was basically a huge banter park for he and Jaime. Heā€™s also involved in a tracking shot during the battle that some have already claimed is a reverse of Jon Snowā€™s battle at Hardholme, with Bronn braving fire instead of ice. He also shot and wounded a dragon! You suspect if the man could write, heā€™d have some memoirs to tell.

Despite all that, Cersei got her gold. She intends to get a further loan to cover the costs of the Golden Company, a world renowned group of professional sellswords.

Three episodes to go. As a season, itā€™s been all thriller, no filler this year. This episode deserves that accolade more than any other.

Did the Dragon not burn it all up? Thatā€™s kind of what I thought Happened.

I like Jon Snerr + Dragon Lady arguing over who has to Bend Over. I think it will be best for me if she does it!

To convert this to some poetic alliteration ā€¦

Will Boromirā€™s bastard bend, or Deny Dragon do doggy?
