    One thing that has been bugging me on the show is Qyburn. Why is he loyal to the Lannisters?

    In show continuity he was loyal to either the North or the Riverlands (not really clear who) and was held prisoner by The Mountain as Harrenhal. When they left, all men were ordered killed, but Qyburn somehow survived. He serves under King Robb (taken care of by Talisa) and eventually is put under Roose Bolton and then treats Jamie, taking him to King's Landing where he suddenly has this deep loyalty to Cersei?

    I think it is because she lets him do hos experiments. I do not think he is loyal to her but to himself and she lets him do what he wants. If she really loses power he will abandon her.

    I would assume that it'd have to do with the position that they afforded him, he was an outcast from the Citadel from what I remember.

    Cersei gave him a prominent position after he got to Kings Landing.

    The only reason he is alive is because the Thenn wanted him to go tell Castle Black that he was going to eat the kid's family. LOL

    I don't blame him for hating the Wildlings.

    I hate his show character because
    A) I'm generally against child actors
    B) With as heavy handed as the writers were with his dislike for what was going on it was such an eye roll every time.

    Yeah they could have been a bit more subtle about his constant anger, that's why I'm surprised people were really that surprised at the E TU Ollie moment....

    Jon Snow's logic is pretty good. Yeah, the wildlings have been our enemy, but we're facing a bigger threat. Our interests are aligned now. And every wildling we leave north of the wall will be one more Wight our enemy can use against us. It's in our best interest to ally with the wildlings and deprive the White Walkers of increasing their army as much as possible.

    And the Night's Watch is just like, "what the **** ever. **** You, Jon! **** you for looking at the big picture and trying to protect Westeros from an impending invasion from a horde of the undead."

    To be fair, the Watch was literally fighting these EXACT SAME WILDLINGS for their very lives a few months ago. But yeah, Olly needs to get Ramsay'd. How Thorne has lived this long is a mystery.

    Jon Snow was naive (he knows nothing), but yeah, this is pretty much what happened. That's why so many are #TeamWhiteWalker right now.

    The Night's King is Ned Stark's Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather anyway, so the White Walkers will be avenging the Starks in a round-about sort of way I suppose.

    Thats what Jon gets for trusting a bunch of murderers and rapists. Even Ned would've been smarter than that.
