A Game of Thrones (contains spoilers)

[Moranis]

20+ minute battle sequence tonight.  So stoked.

I'm just wondering when Theon is going to tell Sansa he didn't kill Bran and Rickon.  I mean he has to do that or there is no way she will ever go anywhere with him and they seemingly do need to end up with Stannis at some point.

The book has a scene where Bran talks to him by whisper through a tree.   People think that will happen and Sansa will over hear him.

I always wondered if the younger brother Rickon(?) will ever resurface.  Martin wrote thousands of pages with nary a mention of him again.

I always got the feeling Rickon was there just as a "safety valve" so that the story can end with a Stark in Winterfell even after all the other kids have died/left/turned into magic trees.

...and forget Sansa, why the heck didn't Theon tell Ramsay he didn't kill them?  He's supposed to be totally under his thumb after all.


MINOR BOOK SPOILER (probably not show-relevant):

In the last book Davos' last scene involves him heading to an island called Skagos to go look for Rickon.  So there might be a bit more Rickon in the books, but given that Davos has stayed with Stannis and the show hasn't even mentioned Skagos that I can remember, pretty sure that's not going to happen on the show.

He did tell him, didn't he? I thought he knew about Bran, Rickon, and Jon Snow all being alive, and Ramsay told Roose, who sent his one guy after them all.

I loved that Cersei finally got at least a little bit of what was coming to her. The faith militant was obviously going to backfire on her at the end.

I believe Martin modeled them after the early Protestants that broke away from Catholicism in the Reformation. Not a completely accurate characterization, but interesting nonetheless.

I thought that dude (Locke) was there to kill Jon Snow and just happened across Bran when they got north.  I might be misremembering it though.

I'm not sure. I could've swore when Ramsay was "transforming" Theon to Reek he let it slip that he didn't kill the Stark boys.

[Moranis]

Ramsay was with Theon when they came across the miller's boys and thus Ramsay knew all along that Theon never killed Bran and Rickon.  That isn't clear in the show, but is very clear in the books.

from Wiki

Ramsay is taken as a prisoner to Winterfell in the guise of Reek.[6] After Theon Greyjoy captures Winterfell, Ramsay exchanges a vow of service to Theon for his release.[10] He quickly becomes one of Theon's more trusted attendants, assisting Theon in his hunt to bring the escaped Bran and Rickon Stark back to Winterfell.[11] He orchestrates Theon's cover-up of the Stark boys' escape by killing two peasant boys of an age with the Starks, and then flaying the corpses to avoid recognition. Theon presents their flayed corpses as the Starks, then has their heads mounted on spikes over the castle walls. With the approval of Theon, Ramsay kills Gelmarr, Aggar and Gynir, ironborn who knew the truth about the bodies. Theon uses the Winterfell kennelmaster Farlen as a scapegoat and has him executed for the murders. Theon contemplates killing Reek too, but thinks better of it, fearing the servant had written and hidden an account of the truth.[8]

Good Lords of the Seven, that episode is fantastic.

The entire last 20 minutes, they got me on the edge of my seat and there's goosebumps all over. Holy crab! That was sensational.

Great episode. The last 20 minutes > The entire rest of Season 5 so far.

That was intense.  Great episode.  Not just the battle... the bit between Tyrion and Daenarys was pretty great.   Awesome seeing those characters cross paths with each other after all these years.  It's a similar feeling to seeing the Marvel movie characters team up in the first Avengers movie.  It was great.

SPOILER ALERT....







So it seems it's a safe bet now that they're going with the story of Jon Snow being a Rhaegar Targaryen's son?

Writing my response in white so a spoiler isn't revealed. Just highlight to read.

Yeah I think so. I wonder if they just skip over the part where Jon is attacked, since he has already been a key person to fight the white walkers on the show.

that was one epic episode! longclaw ftw!

[Csfan1984]

Very good action last episode.
