you forgot ygritte

[Hiraki]

or maybe they're saving it for another episode since we already got a load of fap time with ygniette

[Hiraki]

I don't want to read too much of what I already know though.

[Hiraki]

I don't want to read too much of what I already know though.

But you

don't

know all of what was in the books from the show. It's incredibly different and skipping anything is a great way to ensure that you'll have no idea what's going on later.

Sure but I'm pretty sure Zoraster wasn't going for that point.

Maybe I was wrong but idunno

[Hiraki]

On page 325 of ACOK

did you read this before you said this

and then decide to leave it in for the hell of it?

god damnit venmar

[Hiraki]

dunno if they said it this way in the book

but loras totally said french in this episode

not watching this anymore

[Hiraki]

dude he totally said french

[Hiraki]

the danny hype meter needs to slow down sometimes

[Hiraki]

SO MUCH HYPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Hiraki]

This episode CANNOT disappoint.

And I'm not saying that it's too easy to not screw up

I'm saying that you literally cannot screw this up

EDIT:

AWWW SHIT

HERE WE GO

best episode of the series

by far

so much fucking win

[Hiraki]

Spoiler:

Also, any word on whether Joff's death is this season or no?

I posted in the spoiler thread that

GRRM was writing Episode 4x02 for the show, so expect it then.

[Hiraki]

Do they mention that later in the episode?

The last scene is of Catelyn Stark's throat being slit before a good 10 seconds of still reaction camera.

[Hiraki]

What was the point of all that character development for the Starks if they were only going to be killed in the end?

To prove a point.

When you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die.

Robb played, married Talisa (and not a Frey), died due to alliances.

[Hiraki]

Also I think the whole moral of the Starks fucking up over and over again was "shoulda listened to Catelyn."

Catelyn was the one who pushed Ned to go out and figure out what happened to Jon Arryn by becoming Robert's Hand.

So, not really.

[Hiraki]

If he'd been smarter with the information

His original stance with the information was not to care because he thought he'd be dragged into things he didn't know/care about.

Catelyn then said it was his duty to find out because the two were bros.

[Hiraki]

I read in a different forum that

Spoiler: This is a massive spoiler and you don't want to see this if you don't already know it's coming, trust me

Catelyn is eventually brought back by the lord of light but unable to speak because of the throat damage

...how soon can I expect this?

Spoiler:

Very hard to tell. Next episode or late next season.

[Hiraki]

Yes and because it sort of fits with the "For the Realm" song.

Spoiler:

The only other event that would fit it well would be Davos becoming Hand. I don't think they'd do that since most show-watchers don't like Stannis and cared much more for Starks (which you should but yknow).

[Hiraki]

The bit of foreshadowing in this episode made me happy

People die squatting over their chamber pots

CLEGANEBOWL CONFIRMED

[Hiraki]

Spoiler:

(plus, I understand it's heavily implied in the book that Oberyn's blade was coated in poison, anyway).

You can see a psuedo-poisoning during the battle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqT22PlqnUA around 1:25. I'm no expert at combat but there is literally no reason for someone to clean their already clean weapon. Not to mention, the camera zooms in on this moment. I'm 99% sure it's important.

[Hiraki]

yeah first 3 eps leaked

*4

i think the fifth one will be released soon, i don't think there will be anymore after that though

[Hiraki]

HSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Hiraki]

Euron then proceeds to, instead of going along with his original plan of wooing Daenerys, woo Cersei instead.

To be fair, they've been very very nonchalant about Euron switching sides.

[Hiraki]

Maybe they made Jorah/Connington composite, but then later also decided to get rid of whatever subplot is planned for Connington, so this let them close the plot-hole.

I've had a few theories of what's going to happen here -

Jorah is going to go back to Dragonstone to chill with Dany. After that, someone will bring up the Night's Watch. Jorah will then be then "oh, I met a lad named Sam who healed me and was part of the Night's Watch and oh jon snow? yeah he was part of the night's watch too" and that's how Dany and Jon become friends.

I also feel like Bran is going to figure out the dagger thing quickly now that it's confirmed to be a plot point. LF will be killed after Bran does 3rd eye raven back into the past to the scene where Ned is mugged by LF in the throne room. I spoiled this one since the dagger thing is something that you have to really look into to understand at the moment.

[Hiraki]

i just want cleganebowl

[Hiraki]

if you really want to stretch it and say she went around KL, then there's no reason why jaime shouldn't have gotten ambushed

[Hiraki]

They made a point to say the gold made it to KL anyways.

i don't remember that part

either way, you have to wonder what everyone else is doing in westeros if jaime had NO warning about this considering that:

1) this is the first time dothraki are on the continent
2) DRAGON

[Hiraki]

What do you mean? Surely there has been no time where Cersei was supposed to be somewhere but lead all of her enemies to that one spot in order to defeat them all in one blow?

[Hiraki]

they literally admitted it in the behind the scenes
