If Jaime was going to die, then the dragon fire would've just killed him. He's not dead. No way. Book it.

They probably saw each other after that, just not on screen.

Poor Rickon.

I don't think Jon would want to marry Dany, or want the Iron Throne for that matter.

Isn't it strongly hinted that it's Mance along with his spearwives?

Despite Jon's real heritage, he's still a Northman, and he's still a Stark. I don't think his Targaryen heritage will disqualify him from KITN status.

Can someone explain to me the Arya/Nymeria reunion? Nymeria didn't even seem to recognize her, which pretty much shits on any sort of special connection between the Starks and their direwolves. Am I missing something? The reunion was no where near as good as I was wanting.

Basically the Battle for Endor in Return of the Jedi. The Rebel ships had to fly really close to the Imperial Fleet so they would be too close to target by the Death Star.

The first 3 books came out in 5 years. The next 2 took 10 years.

I agree somewhat, but I'd also add Dany and her superweapons as well. The most interesting part of the story is the politics of Westeros and the War of the Five Kings.

I hated AFFC, such a slog to get through. I enjoyed ADWD for the most part, especially the happenings in the North.

"but the story is in Westeros and always has been."

I'm not sure everyone knows Cersei did it. It's possible they played it off as an accident.

Damn, I totally forgot the Blackfish died in the show.

All you gotta do is poison the one barrel of wine. Maybe this poison is so strong it only takes a few drops.

I don't hate him in a love to hate way like Joffrey or something. He's just a shit character.

I don't know if I've ever hated a character in a show as much as Varga. I was rolling my eyes every time he was on screen, just waiting for him to get off the screen. What a boring, cliche villain.

Shane is still the best "villain" this show has had. Had he survived and Rick died, I feel like the group would be in much better shape.

Yes, that bit annoyed. I didn't mind people seeing the eye in visions and such, but physically placing it at the top of Bara-Dur annoyed me.

As a Tolkien scholar, what is your opinion of the Army of the Dead? To me it almost ruins the Battle of the Pellennor Fields. It was a terrible deus ex machina, and it came from the books.
