I suspect that when she finds out what happened, she will either kill Tyrion or make a play for killing one of the othee Lannisters (my hope is Joffery).

Who's making you out to be a menace? I was just warning people who might have missed Bish's message because the thread is moving so fast. Tension is high, and if some folks can't contain themselves, then it's best they just go to the other thread than stay here is risk upsetting people/getting banned.
Now if you're not one of those people and have no interest in teasing or spoiling people, then stay. And that goes to any other book readers. I'm not a mod and have no power to keep you out. But don't get accusatory and try to make it out like I'm trying to turn you into some pariah just by trying to be helpful and offering advice.

The show is dropping strong hints Arya is Darth Vader 2.0
like, this I don't fucking get. I kinda get book readers coming in here and implying stuff or mentioning stuff that supposedly happened in the show only to have it turn out that it didn't, whatever. this book apparently makes people unable to read an OP at times, that's whatever. but why spoil a different goddamn show. what's up w/u. edit your post
Yeah seriously I'm trying to figure out how someone can have access to season 2 on streaming but not 1...I'm guessing this person just doesn't realize that they do have 1.
Except Tyrion, of course

Thank you! As a reader, the people on the spoiler thread are having more boring discussions than here. I still feel very excited about these series and I align myself better in this thread

The White Walkers might give everyone in Westeros a run for their money and who knows how long the alliance between the Lannisters and the Tyrells will last
He doesn't count, he's a bastard ;p
Honestly forgot him, the name Snow throws me off.
I like Bran and Arya, Bran being the mature leader and Arya being the dark avenger is a really nice contrast. Not sure how to feel about Rickon, he's not been developed enough yet. I don't hate Sansa but she does annoy me. I don't care about Jon, never have. I honestly like Sam more then him.
I'm either Team Tyrion or Team Dany at the moment. I also wouldn't mind Varys getting the throne, that would be an interesting twist.
Seriously though Sansa better do something after hearing the news of what happened, she literally is living with the very family that destroyed hers.
.... so let's get super drunk?

That's my feeling about him too. So far a lot of my feelings have been right. Also, even though the moral if the story right now seems to be "The bad guys always win. Good guys suck." I think it's too early to call what GRRM is really telling here. If all it was was a sadistic fantasy from this point on, I think it'd be a pretty shit story TBH.
I need a hug too, bro. Bring it in. There's no shame.

How is someone popping in for the first time going to know that? The OP doesn't tell people not to mention "I've read the books". It says not to spoil things or be a dick.
Exactly.
And also what PopcornMegaphone said.
Anyway, off to bed for me. G'night.

God this crap with Daenerys is going to backfire so hard.
FIRSTLY she extremely disappointed friendzone Jorah who thought she would be proud of them. Upsetting Jorah is a no-no.
SECONDLY look at how little she knows about shit that actually matters! "uh derrr how long dos it taek to seize a city its bin moore than 3 hours and we sent 3 men in it shud be done by now"
THIRDLY she just went along with Ser Douchebag not so subtly accusing Jorah of being suspicious, instead of realizing Jorah has protected her and helped her and stood by her for the better part of a year. But Ser Douchebag is secksay so let's listen to him.
Stupid child.

There's kind of a big learning curve involved in becoming a queen. I don't blame her a bit for learning as she goes along.

So the Hound and Arya become a mercenary tag team wandering the hills and fucking up Lannisters, right? I'm really not sure how to read their interactions this episode. It seemed like they reached a sort of understanding, and I'm not sure why Clegan (I have no idea how to spell it) would rescue Arya from certain doom. He has to know that with the Bad JuJu that was going down Arya has become practically worthless in terms of ransom or reward. So why save her from a grisly end?
And did Jon Snow intentionally knock the redhead over? They were about to attack and Jon elbowed her down, but he didn't seem to notice. Was that to keep her from getting involved/captured/murdered because he knew she'd side with him? If not, then why?
It's really puzzling. Especially when you consider that he just ditched her without even a glance back. I never thought he'd be that cold, but I guess his name should've given it away.

Yeah dude, that sequence pretty much nails the feels on this one.
Sorry if I appeared to be singling you out. That wasn't my attention. I was just mainly referring to those in here with the sentiments of "if you read the books then you aren't allowed in here so GTFO!"
And yeah, it's even more amplified right now because of the big events in the show. I think Bish is emotionally compromised!
I hugged my dog after the Grey Wind scene... Don't know why. Plus Cat's death hit me hardest though. That like minute where she is pleading with them to let her son go.
She thinks Arya, Bran, Rickon are dead. Ned is dead. Winterfell is burned and Sansa is captive at Kings Landing. Robb is her first born child, first son and heir. She's watching the death of her entire life there just pleading him to get up and leave. Just hits you like a ton of bricks when you rewatch it.
Same goes for the Talisa and baby Ned Stark death. GRRM and the show creators purposely did all that teach him how to ride a horse talk and bam, stabbed like 6 times in the stomach.

To the wall. That pregnant belly shank...
I was confused on that. The three of them went in, but wasn't her comment about sacking the city supposedly after they'd opened the front gates and let the rest of the soldiers in?

I assume so, I think after they were surrounded they convinced the slave soldiers to throw down their weapons and then open the gate and the unsullied did the work

Just finished watching the episode.
I knew something big was going to happen as there's now a thread dedicated to the reactions from the episode (lol), but I wasn't sure exactly what until about halfway through.
I figured that one of the Starks wouldn't make it for sure, but that was pretty brutal. I also expected Arya to witness the massacre, but it's a good thing that she didn't. I'm guessing that she's going to become a hard motherfucker after this.
Regardless of what people think, Tywin is a boss. I liked his character before, but this has pretty much elevated him to God status in my books. He's ruthless and brutal, but he knows exactly what he's doing. There's a reason the Lannisters have so much success.

Just watched it again and goddamn, I didn't think it could happen but it was worse the second time around. Last time I almost cried in the bathroom, this time I was sitting on the couch and had a tear fall

Either way, it shows she is inexperienced at actually doing stuff besides telling her dragons to burn people.
She will slip up eventually. And it will not be pretty.
Great. I come into a GoT thread and get TDKR spoiled for me.

all she had to do at her wedding was what her mother did... when Joffrey was walking her down the aisle... :/ I was like just snap his neck please..
Also something I noticed.. in ep 8 the scene when Joffrey went up to Sansa and said something like it doesn't matter which Lannister does the dean (gets her pregnant) then he said he would have his guards hold her down... seems like he was implying he knows he is a Lannister.. not sure...

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
I know that feel. RIP Lady and Grey Wind.
As brutal as the other killings were my girlfriend and I both felt worse when the wolf died. Right in the feels.
Not sure of her name, but the actress who played Cat deserves an Emmy for that episode.
She was phenomenal. The sheer terror on her face, watching her son and his forces massacred right before her.
I'm glad she managed to cut that girl's throat, I know the girl was harmless but it still felt like a "fuck you" to Walder Frey.

Not sure if trolling (I think you are), but it's almost been a whole year. You can't be serious lol.
It's almost humorous how much more people care about the pets/animals haha. But it's true! They're just too innocent.

Hell I'm still mad at Sansa for not pushing Joffrey/taking him with her off the bridge thing when he was showing her Ned's head on a spike. Damn it sansa!
Why does it matter how long it has been? This is not how spoilers work. Spoiling unrelated works is a dick move.
What can she do really, she a hostage who's family are branded as traitors and living with people who would not care about killing her just waiting for a excuse. One false step and a story can be weaved to make it seem ok to kill her to general public. Sansa has done well to survive this long by being "smart" and she knows how valuable she is now as heir to Winterfell and The North.

My case of insomnia just got a whole lot worse. I can't stop thinking about this episode. I've never been depressed over an event in a show before...until tonight.
#TeamWhiteWalkers
My room has been eerily quite for the past 2 hours. All i can hear is raindrops outside. Catelyn's voice is still in my head. Robb's last words of "mother" before dying. This episode was really taxing on my emotions.
I try to make myself feel better by saying it's just a show, they aren't really dead, but that doesn't really help.

I'll also say that not having any music over the credits was just brilliant. It matched the stunned silence I felt perfectly.
Jon's is somewhere north of the wall, we don't know where. Arya's is alive but we don't know where. Bran and Rickon's are with them. Sansa's and Rob's are dead.

Okay makes sense. I was just confused because it felt pieced together weird, you get the cliffhanger where the trio is apparently facing MORE guards and it feels like they may not even get the gate open, and then suddenly you cut and they got the gate open and sacked the city.
Probably. I hope she loses a battle. (preview spoilers)
maybe even next week, looks like she's going to send her dragons to attack...something. If one of the dragons died or something, or her baby dragons just couldn't win her another battle, it would make vulnerable in a good way. maybe force her to actual toughen up.
I mean as a rule you're not supposed to spoil other media in irrelevant threads. TDKR I don't know about because the plot to that is pretty well known, but a year isn't that long. There could be people still holding out to see it. Stuff like Empire Strikes Back or Sixth Sense is so common knowledge but things like TDKR or the person spoiling The Shield could really easily just be put under tags.
