Isn’t it obvious that his real lunch was going to be grilled later? This was just a guinea pig.

Just so long as he tries to charge tourists $30 a piece.

I don’t really get the “Jon wargs into Ghost” angle. How is that useful for him? He’s stuck piggybacking on the consciousness of a direwolf. Even if he can then jump into a new body, who is that body going to be? In the books, we’ve already seen that Bran is essentially mind-raping Hodor when he wargs into him, so I…

How is that a ‘you go girl’ moment for Brienne? She failed her meaningful duty for a childish revenge oath rooted in her infatuation. Like, the thing she did was literally her failing.

I was arguing this with a friend of mine; honestly, I kind of like the change (though, we may well see him warg in the next season). I’d think warging into Ghost lets Jon retain more of himself, unlike the other undead folks we’ve met in the books, which is kind of a dodge, to me. I think Jon’s going to have to make a …

Oh 100%, me too. Off-screen deaths are almost always cinema-code for “not dead”. I just don’t know that there is a purpose in this case, and in the long run it was probably an effects budget choice (head chopping would have to be CGI).

It’s in a wide shot. I’m sorry you missed it I guess? You see both riding out afterwards.

The difference is in the characters. Stannis plotline has completely run its course. There is literally no reaosn for him to continue living. His army abandoned him, he burned his only child, his wife hung herself, his witch abandoned him, and he’s literally falling down wounded in the forest when Brienne finds him.…

Yeah, they mapped Headey’s face onto the body double body. All the heavy lifting acting was done in the closeups, though, and that wasn’t using a body double.

I saw that as well, but most of the pseudo-analysis I read seemed to agree that the white eyes were faked.

I feel pretty confident saying that Kit Harrington is lying to throw us off the scent. It is FAR too big of a coincidence that a character who follows a god that can resurrect the dead drops everything to immediately go to the place where Jon just got stabbed. This is doubly compounded by the fact that Melisandre…

I’ll hear that voice every time i walk to the refrigerator.

Yeah. Oh, here’s a ring for you to find in this endless sea of grass! That’s the only way you’ll know where I was.

Oh, I have a feeling that S6 is going to be Cersei Unchained.

The last two have been about “pieces” because Martin is busy stretching what was a tight series of books into a bloated series of books. Where you see “pieces”, I see “irrelevant scenes of total nonsense, with increasingly stupid magic. And zombies”. Success ruins serial art because the impetus is to continue forever.…

Lena Headey knocked it out of the park yet again. She pretty much perfectly delivered Cersei’s inner monologue from the books without saying a word. That woman deserves a major award.

While I expect there to be plenty of talk about last nights episode. I saw a leaked screen from a few nights before.

Tyrion and Varys were literally the one bright spot in this whole kick-in-the-chest episode.

“How many cliffhangers for next season can we fit in the finale?”
