I agree. Unless I am wrong here Bran seemed to have caused a lot of trouble since he freely (without his trainer) went off into the pack of white walkers and then touched the King Walker allowing them into the cave.

Oh I never thought of those poor direwolves. Where is Nymeria? I don't think we have seen him/her since King's Landing. Is that correct do you remember?

Varys is a Eunuch which means when he was young he was casterated. She was referring to when this casteration was done.

In season 3 which I am just now watching Varys talks about when he heard haunting voices from the fire in which his body parts were placed.

7. Tyrion was talking about Dani and said "Mother of Dragons, Breaker of Chains and all that" It really made me laugh be cause many of us have said the same kind of things regarding herself given titles. lol

I hope you liked the episode as much as I did.

5. I love the Theon story now. I think that he and his sister will make a great team now that they are on the same page. Hopefully the Euron side of this story will be exciting. They picked a great actor for that character. He looks rather "Greyjoyish" to me. But man that was the ugliest crown I have ever seen. I mean it makes sense since they are all about water, the sea, salt throne, etc.

6. Jon and Sansa's story is excellent. I am glad they, too, are on the same page. Sansa has learned a lot while being stuck at King's Landing and with Ramsay. She isn't the quiet timid compliant girl she used to be. What I don't understand is why did she not tell Jon about the visit by Littlefinger??????

I have a lot to say about this amazing episode.

1. I feel that this guy is doomed.


I love him, but I think his days are numbered. I think he will die in an awful death this season.

2. Tornmont seems obsessed with Brienne. I love it. It is cute.


3. The scene where Dani and Jorah separated I was really sad and kind of teared up. Oh but Daario looked so smokin hot. Mmmmmm.

4. I like the fact that we now know it was the children of the forest who created the White Walkers and why it was done. I always wondered where they came from.

R.I.P. Hodor :(

I was super confused about the Hodor thing so I have now been set straight.

Hodor explained >

Yay!!

1. A GAME OF THRONES
Name a book that was made into a television series or movie that you really enjoyed.

The Revenant: A Novel of Revenge The book was amazing; the movie was amazing. But both were very different from each other.

2. A CLASH OF KINGS
Name a book that you read that involved a character with a royal background.

The American Heiress This was decent. It was a great book in which we made fun of the characters in a buddy read.

3. A STORM OF SWORDS
So far A Storm of Swords is the longest book in the series. Excluding ASOIAF books, what is the longest book that you have read?

Outlander I don't think it needed to be that long. I am glad I read it but I doubt I will read the rest in the series.

4. A FEAST FOR CROWS
A Feast for Crows is one of the least enjoyable books in the series for a lot of readers. Name a book that you liked that was not very enjoyable for several others.

I really enjoyed Zoo but most people did not.

5. A DANCE WITH DRAGONS
Name a book that you read that involved either Dancing or Dragons.

The Silver Linings Playbook had a lot of dancing in it. I never knew that going into it. Had I known, I doubt I would have even read it. But I ended up loving the book.

6. THE WINDS OF WINTER
Readers have been waiting a long time for the release of The Winds of Winter. Name a book that you read in which you anxiously awaited its release.

I hate to admit it but Allegiant I loved Divergent. Insurgent was pretty good too. But Allegiant was very disappointing.

Ria re your spoiler:

(view spoiler)[ Yes you did read that. I got to that part in this book later on. (hide spoiler)]

I am really confused with what we just watched. I gotta' re-watch and report back.

So do you think she had a genuine like/love for Tyrion as well?

I still feel confused.

re: Jamie and Cersei discussing the dagger that was sent to kill Bran back at Winterfell.

They discuss Robert talking about putting animals out of misery.
It seems that they think it was Joffrey who did it to get a pat on the back from his Dad Robert??? Did I read that right? I really don't see what young Joffrey would have as a reason to kill another kid. Just for that pat on the back and because he is an evil, evil kid???

Thoughts?

I am thoroughly disgusted with Shae's actions (Her lies). I am pretty sure she was paid off by Cersei. I thought she had a genuine interest in Tyrion but we all know that money talks.

"There is a turtle at our door!"

Those are not words you hear very often. But they surely made me giggle.

Oh and regarding Sansa marrying her cousin Robin ..... ick!

Lysa to Littlefinger:
"No, I say No. I am the Lady of the Eyrie, and I command you to wed me this very moment."

That part really did make me giggle. Can you spell DESPERATE?!?!

I am unclear on something. But perhaps I need to read more to find out. Please help if you know the answer.

So Margery's Gramma adjusted Sansa's hair netting that had the poison in it for Joffrey. She took it out of the netting. Do we know how it got into the cup he drank from?

If I need to read on please let me know. But if I missed something please let me know. Thanks.

Is it just for the gold or is there more to it..."

I felt the same as you. If it was mentioned then I think it flew over both of our heads.

Vivek wrote: "He tells Sansa that he wouldn't touch her until she wanted him to. And she asks him what if that never happens? Those words were like a slap to him and he replies "Never?""

Aw poor guy. :(

I really like Jaime as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. From his meeting with the crew it seems he will be fair.

I love Jaime and all his flaws.
