"I wish you the best of luck in everything you do." I actually thought the tragedy of Bran was really laid out in that scene. She was great.

Profoundly fucked.

It wasn't Littlefinger. It was Joffrey's order. With a dagger that Littlefinger lost in a bet with Tyrion which Joffrey took and gave to his man to kill Bran.

Jaimie isn't dead…..

Yeah, they said the gold went first. Dany burned the food. (and the Lannister army)

I think I would've appreciated the Jon Snow/Davos scene where he talks about Dany's good heart more if they had interspersed with footage of her roasting humans alive and also burning the food that would feed thousands more. Tyrion looked proper freaked out. Also "Flee, you idiot."

I'm thinking it's Jaimie- once a Kingslayer, etc…..

Just that Sam was told to go through a whole heck of a lot of documents. Rather pointedly.

Yeah- like, if Charles dies before Elizabeth II, William would still be king as his heir. And if William dies before Charles does, little George is the king, not Harry.

Also, I'm pretty sure Theon said, "I didn't kill the Stark boys, but I did other bad things" in the scene last season when Yara offers ships to Danaerys. So if Westeros has accurate descriptions of the Battle of the Bastards- where Rickon dies in an open field, I'm assuming Dany means the two confirmed dead ones.

I think he didn't want to be lord of Casterly Rock because he didn't want to marry anyone but Cersei. The story goes that Tywin was going to marry him to Lysa Tully (which would've been….interesting), but Cersei convinced him to join the Kingsguard to get out of it. He gave it up for Cersei. It's always about Cersei.

Nothing like a budget to make stuff look good. It just looks expensive.

Well, the Martell stuff is so dominated by Arianne in the books. It's a whole different thing.

I suspect that the talk between Littlefinger and Sansa in the crypt last season about Lyanna being kidnapped and raped by Rhaeger Targeryan (ie the Robert Baratheon version)- that that is the general story the Stark kids know about Lyanna. So I assume the scene Bran saw fills in something Bran already knew a piece of.

It might be what finally breaks them up (?)

Yeah, and the Starks don't do incest. Dude was raised a Stark.

there is also extensive book descriptions of his murder- tears from the killers, crying over killing him and his wounds smoking or steaming. He is re-born after bleeding out under the stars.

I think I agree- Ice and Fire is Jon already. They don't need to wait another 20 years for an Ice and Fire baby. He's here, in all his moody, mumbling, resurrected glory. And you are right, there is no point for R+L= J if it's not key.

Yeah, totally. It's why the Wall exists in the first place. It became about Wildlings, but the Wall was put up in the first place by the First Men and the Children of the Forest.

Now THAT I can get behind
