Can I just say that I'm extremely glad that Roose Bolton mentions his son in this episode. This (hopefully) means Ramsay won't be cut out and we'll see him at some point.

I really really want this, but since video is simply a hobby, can't justify the nearly $300 price tag. Great product though.

It's the most important one!!!

I started listening to Beastie Boys when Ill Communication came out, and have been ever since- so today's news hit hard.

It's not a real lightsaber if:

Disagree- The same Stannis that raised a smuggler to a knight, yet punished him for his lawbreaking would not have executed the daughter of a high lord- even a Kraken. He's has a better military mind than that. He probably would have done something like let Arya (FakeArya) decide her fate... or something.

Jon's not dead, Melisandre will revive him with her powers like how the red priest fixed Victarion's hand.

Spoilers!

It's still undecided whether she WILL be an assassin. She is in training, but I can equally see her go down another path before completing. Like Jon, if her family were in need she may choose them over the many-faced god.

Agreed- Good call. He sees himself as having the best claim to the throne because he does, by law- Yet he is willing to do what whatever it takes to that end.

Arya shows compassion- which makes her good.

Agreed, great scene.

Yes, the exact scene I was talking about, only because it was such a big part of her identity moving forward. The act of killing the Tickler was a kind of release, where she had been through so much, and just absolutely at her lowest- when she turns the tables on the Tickler it was a kind of reversal and started her…

Doesn't Arya kill the tickler?! That was one of my favorite parts, but now it seems she will be without a target to needle!

Spoilers in the reply...

Agreed. There's this cool show called Hawaii Five-0 which is also filmed on the set of LOST, are we going to see this as a post soon too? Also, there's this cool movie called "Jurassic Park" which was also filmed on the set of LOST. There's also this singer named Israel Kamakawiwoʻole who is actually FROM the set of…

I love io9 because of the insightful commentary on science, sci-fi fantasy and relevant content that makes my day better. This post is the opposite of that.

Why is there two separate articles on this?

(SPOILERS)

I want scenes of Robb, Maragary, Renly, Loras, Stannis- I want MORE of them. What I DON'T want is gratuitous scenes of prostitutes and Ros who are basically non-characters that are taking up A LOT of screentime. We have so little time for the good characters as is.
