What is power, you ask? Why, it is simple, Lord Varys. Power, you see, is work divided by time.

Flower, Hill, Pyke, Rivers, Sand, Snow, Stones, Storm and Water and some other inspired names, all related to the names of the kingdoms or their ruler, the great families

lol

It's default. All regions have one, River for the riverlands, Stone for the Vale (crazy breastfeeding lady), Flowers for the area near Highgarden (so the Tyrells), Sands for the desert kingdom of Dorne, etc.

Dire-Wolf DLC? It is called COD: *GHOST* for Christ's sake. Winter is coming.

Saw a good argument that this was GRRM's way of being like, NO GUYS. THERE IS NO STARK BABY. CHILL THE F OUT YO. WE HAVE ENOUGH STORYLINES GOING ON HERE.

Not a bad argument, since Martin is heavily involved in the show. Maybe wished he'd closed that storyline in the books a little better?

She's not quite the same character As the book anyway. In the book they turned her lose TOR to the silent sisters... Better just to kill her off. Otherwise the next book takes LONGER!!!

There was no possibility of that in the books. Jeyne's family had been in cahoots with the Lannisters from the start, and made sure after the Red Wedding that if she was pregnant, she wouldn't be much longer.

I dunno, I think the show has masterfully been keeping us book readers on the edge of our toes, throwing surprises at us like this to keep the show fresh with surprises while also remaining true to the original material.

In the books there is NO possibility Jeyne is pregnant. None. Sybil Spicer was giving her daily doses of moon tea and tansy but telling her it was a fertility aid. (And no, there was no "Jeyne switch"—GRRM admitted that he just forgot how he had previously described Jeyne's hip size.) There has never, never been any…

GRR has gone on record saying she wasn't preggers in the book and that the line that made it seem like she may have been was actually just a mistake on his part.

Well, considering that it's not Jeyne at all, you may be overreacting.

Jeyne Poole was Sansa's friend from Winterfell. Jeyne Westerling was Robb's wife in the book - to different people.

Well that's nice, because after this episode you'll NEVER HEAR FROM THEM AGAIN EVER. Unless HBO decides to write its own narrative for them, which I could get behind. #teamrickon

Spoilers (duh)

Jeyne and Robb were trying to have children, but Jeyne's mother slipped in moon tea in order to prevent her from having a child because of their alliance with House Lannister so that the child (that Tywin wants) from the Sansa/Tyrion union would be the sole heir to Winterfell.

The fan-crack theory is that the girl we later see is not really Jeyne, but her sister, and that the Blackfish whisked the real Jeyne, who would be pregnant, off to safety before Riverrun fell.

Also i do not approve Walder Frey's eye raping.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Jeyne actually got pregnant in the books. (But yes, she did live).

I followed the Heir to Winterfell theory for awhile, but it is rather apparent that GRRM had no intention of letting that take off. That possibility is just as dead in the books as it is in the show.

This one had me laughing harder than any of them
