No time for a marathon. Wish they would do a refresher show so I could remember what the 48 characters and 17 side plots were about.
Just down loaded the first 4 episodes of season 5 off my torrent site. Bout to start ep1 now!!
No spoilers beyond ep1Quote:

Nice Maggie the Frog flashback. For book readers, notice they didn't reveal a certain Topic that was discussed at that juncture
Drawing a blank, Bear. Guess I need to go over to awoiaf for a Maggie refresher.
She is the fortune tellerQuote:

I like the Hound too now, but he may have expired... at least for a while. I doubt he reemerges quickly even if he is alive. Now that he's separated from the Stark girl there's no real story line that needs him.
I meant I was drawing a blank on the part of Maggy's prophecy that was left out. I knew exactly who Maggy was. And now I remember the part that was left out. Very interesting they chose to omit that.Quote:

I'm sure I'm in the minority but I do not want Dany to become queen of Westeros.
I cheated and watched the first four episodes. Episode 3 is going to piss off book readers.
Must be the book POV character early death scenario. I still don't know who it is don't want to, but I have some suspicions.Quote:

I waver on Danaerys, mainly because one of my theories is that in the endgame she'll be either already dead or on the "wrong" side. See book theories thread (spoiler warning) for more on that To come.Quote:

Thanks, I can't remember all the angles in this story, also thanks engine, I don't know how to do a multiple quote post.Quote:

Please no comments about books in this thread.Quote:

EDIT: I'm just kidding guys!
Haven't read the books, but I watched the episode last night. pretty sure that was her dragon saying goodbye. I think the paralyzed boy eventually controls the dragon(s). Be interesting to see who he aligns with (which army), but I think we're shaping up for a battle between the dragon queen/tyrian and the dragon boy-to-be.
The Stark girl story lines have gotten boring to me. I don't know what they're doing or where they're going, but they're just traveling with no purpose.
Drogon will be back with a vengeance in Meereen...
That's a lackluster last couple of episodes. Lots of character development setting up, I suppose.
Tyrion sweet talks up a whore in a brothel, then decides he can't get it up. Really? Weak. Jorah just happens to be in the same brothel that Tyrion decided to visit? Weak.
Jorah says he's taking Tyrion to the queen. But which queen? I assume he meant Cersei. Margaery could have an interesting opinion about that. He could have meant Denarius.
i won't spoil anything for people who haven't read the book, but this season, more than any before, has really deviated from the books. I'm very interested to see how things tie together. No idea where they're going with the Sansa storyline. I'm guessing Littlefinger has her in place to marry Ramsey, rally the northern lords together like during Roberts rebellion and have the Boltons murdered somehow by using Sansa so he'd effectively be in control or the Erie and Winterfell, basically controlling the north. Will Brienne find confront her in Winterfell and Sansa go L.S. on her and Pod? When will we see Robert Strong? Is Jamie or Bronn replacing Oakheart? Is the confrontation between Hotah and Oakheart's replacement going to happen? Is Jorah going to take Connington's spot in Tyrions man overboard mishap? Is the curly headed dude Hizdar Zo Loraq? Was that Rattleshirt? If not will Brienne replace ***** in rescuing 'Jeyne'?
I won't spoil which queen it is, but that's how they meet up in the books, although Tyrion gets there under very different circumstances. I told myself I'd read the books after the series, well I couldn't wait and read them between seasons. I wish I hadn't know because I'm going to be comparing and critiquing and not letting myself enjoy it for what it is.Quote:

If I had to guess..I would think bronn has replaced oakheart..for the fact that he has pretty much became a fan favorite..so..wellll..you know
Was that rattleshirt...I really hope so
Just saw Sunday's episode. I swear if they killed off Tyrion, I was gonna cancel HBO. Damn that was close.
Yeah..I don't think that is going to happen..GRRM seems to love the characters that have to overcome adversitiesQuote:

For those who need a(nother) reason to dislike Collin Cowturd... today on his show he ripped Game of Thrones and at one point compared it to Harry Potter with women.
I said it on 4-27, just a few post up, that he would get it. With all the talk of it this season and Griff being absent you knew it was coming.
