ASOIAF / Game of Thrones (SPOILERS INSIDE)

[beyondinfin]

KINGSMOOT! They finally doing the goddamn kingsmoot. Correct me if im wrong, wasnt this the first episode it was ever even mentioned?

Im glad they rezed Jon, so now he can go take Winterfell and burn ramsay.

I guess I can't argue with you while agreeing with you.

Was really disappointed with how jon came back. We all knew Melisandre was gonna try, but I hoped she would fail and he would pull a Dany and rise up out of his funeral pyre and we'd eventually discover he was Targaryen (Lyanna + Rhaegar) and fulfilling that prophecy that they've been hinting about forever.

Dany never died, and was never laid in a pyre. Dany was more or else protected by Mirri's blood magic if i remember it correctly. so i dunno why you'd expect Jon to just hop out of a pyre. especially when we know fire hurts Jon (season 1, Jon badly burns his hand fighting an other and defending the Lord Commander Jeor Mormont). the book and the show make a very clear point of showing us that priests of the red god have the ability to bring people back from the dead (this is Beric Dondarrion's entire purpose for existing in the books and especially in the show). and then when the show went off script to make a point of having Mel meet Thoros to learn about the cleric epic, it was essentially shoving it in our face. after that point, there should have been no doubt in anyone's mind that Mel was bringing Jon back [You must be logged in to view images.

So much for that theory.

Doesn't mean Jon shared that power tho.

side note.

does anyone doubt at this point that Yara/Asha on the show will be given Victarion's story from the book (ie: the sail to Mereen and get Dany part)

[Fael]

Hard to say.

In the book series, it seems that the battle of Mereen (and the appearance of Victarian) is happening while Dani is encountering the Khal Jhaqo.

My guess is that Victarian will be dead by the time Dani returns to Mereen.

agreed on the first part. but i dont see Victarion dying (although fun fact, there's a huge theory that Victarion is already dead, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comm...arion_and_the/). i see Victarion and Dany making some sort of deal along the lines of he'll sail her and her minions to Westeros if she somethingsomething Euron.

I expected Melisandre to Rez Jon. I didn't expect the scene to be so ridiculously pathetic. Rezzing should be difficult or it should at least be explained that only certain people can receive them. That looked like Melisandre didn't even give a shit. Also, we get a useless prologue about Varamyr sixskins explicitly to demonstrate how skinchangers go into their animals. Jon was in ghost before receiving 96% clickie... That should've played a part in it IMO.

Overall, I hated the episode, but I'm glad roose is dead and Jon is back. Jon v Ramsay will at least be entertaining. Isn't Baelish somewhere building an army to march north? I wonder if the Freys will be joining him on account of Walda + heir being brutally murdered.

Anyway, what I took from that episode:
1. Leaf said Bran will leave the cave. That's news to me...
2. Can't wait to see Wyman Manderly WTFPWN Ramsay by defecting to Jon at the decisive moment
3. If that dragon / Tyrion scene occurred in the books, id believe 100% that he has Targ blood. That said, I don't think Dan and Dave are smart enough
