And is the scene faithfull to the books? Trying to figure out if the "Hodor" mystery as seen in the show is solved by the author or by the producers as it has an impact on the rest.
Well obviously the COF made the Walkers out of man, and they probably needed "special" blood to make it happen. Spoiler My guess is the guy we saw on the tree who is likely the Nights King was a Stark The big reveal later on towards the conclusion will likely be learning what the White Walkers want. Maybe they want to be human again. Maybe they are just mindless machines programmed to kill humans. But the fact that its obvious (as you pointed out) that they turned on the COF, likely means there is more there to their backstory, and what their intentions are. Remember... they've been asleep or gone for hundreds or even thousands of years. What brought them back? Something obviously at the beginning or slightly before the beginning of the story. Let the crackpotitutude continue...
I agree, besides the ending, weak episode....I'm ok with characters traveling long distances in such short time as I do want story top move along, which is why I felt they should have had Daenery's back in Meereen already..Why freaking drag this **** out.. Unlike others I really like Daenery's story, etc. but for me, this season has taken some steps backwards and for the first time, I honestly no longer look forward to her scenes..which honestly shocks me to admit!!
Prior to this episode, Bran had thought they were merely seeing images of the past, but this episode revealed that Bran was not just experiencing 'echoes', but that he was actually present at the events themselves. That is probably going to be a HUGE factor moving forward. Good God Hodor.. no.. GRRM is a b*stard, it's that simple. Lame way for a direwolf to go out. Dany ordering Jorah to find a cure for himself.. And did we really just lose the Raven without getting to finish watching what happened at the Tower of Joy?? Come ON..!! The scene between Varys and the Red Whoever was great.. it's not often Varys is surprised or taken aback. That is not done yet either.. It was good to see Theon trying to redeem himself.. he will still have to end up dying for his sins, but maybe his eventual death will be something significant. But the 'Iron Born' as a group are the biggest bunch of losers ever, so it will be satisfying to see that Huron (or however it's spelled) get axed in the most nasty of ways. This show is moving along at a lightning pace.. almost TOO fast really.. but man, every week, one gut punch after another. And anyone else think Sansa sending Brienne alone to the Tullys is going to end up being a bad idea??
Funny, I was just questioning her role in all these events... My speculation, and I'll spoiler it... Spoiler She's going to leave the Faceless Men, stealing a face so that she can get close to someone on her list or someone that has wronged the Starks.
After such an episode and we get all the "I didn't like it" posters. Focus on what was imperfect rather than what was good. And by "focus", I mean, like a laser. I can be critical of movies, music, and books (ASoIaF series is just a tad too overstuffed, for example, and I love long stories; and how many times can Tyrion "waddle"? [get an editor]; and I don't care that Tommen just ate Cocoa Puffs for breakfast [again, get an editor]) but jaundiced is another thing. How can they make something perfect with so many storylines and so little time to devote to them? Some people you just can't please. Or reach.
Funny you would say that - at the rate the show is now killing off loved-but-ancilliary characters, I thought to myself, 'After Hodor, who's next?' And bingo, the first name which leaped to mind was.. Podrick. Obviously Podrick goes with Brienne.. hell they may as well put ol' Pod in a red shirt..
Spoiler I really liked the one fan theory of Hodor having some implication to the Great Other. This was handled better though.
GRRM has made it clear that "everyone dies" eventually. I wasn't really surprised to see Hodor axed any more than Osha.
Do we all think Littlefinger is telling the truth about Blackfish/Riverrun or is he possibly working some crap behind the scenes?
there was an interview with the actor that plays Littlefinger where he says LF truly didn't know about Ramsay's nature, so he might be telling the truth about the Tully's as well
Always working.... but at this point, even if his intentions are to try and take it all himself, he still needs help evicting the Boltons.
So where do you think Theon and Yara are headed with all those ships? They don't exactly have m(any) allies in the 7 kingdoms... Mereen? or North?
For those whining about the passage of time (or lack thereof) with respects to Littlefinger traveling a great distance, the show gave us a hint that a good amount of time had passed since the last episode (at least at the Wall). Sansa had time to make a very intricate dress she was wearing and made Jon a huge coat. Don't think that only took a day or two...so they did try to show that a good amount of time had passed and that was their way of doing it. So chill, angry book readers
