So why did Ned's sister whisper the name? Do we know what she said? We know who we think is the father, they jump straight to Jon from the baby, she is presumably the mother. So what is their to hide? Just makes me wonder if Jon's parentage is still up in the air.

I think it'd be easy enough to say some of the hired help in the room don't know the full context of what's going on with the birth.

Goddam Comcast outage 😠. Fuck u Comcast fuck u

So, we will never know what Margery's rose was?

She was never committed, she was faking.

She even got angry when they cut up Loras, and cursed the Gods when the shoeless joe fuck face wouldn't listen to her plea that they had to leave.

 

[wesleyshark]

This is the best r+l=j explanation imo.

Plus Alt Shift X is just awesome.

If you're not a book reader, tread carefully on his channel. He digs deep into the books and the show and you might see something you didn't want to. Just FYI.

But yes, Alt Shift X is definitely awesome

 

[~Kinggi~]

Betting on Dany being like "This is my kingdom I'm gonna burn you with my dragons."

[Jon is still standing after the fire]

"Well. This is awkward."

huh.....not a bad guess actually. shit

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

Bran needs to hurry his ass south and let Jon know.

 

[Obliterator]

Kits acting has improved markedly as Jon in the last 2 seasons.

 

[arts&crafts]

I am so happy both Tommen and the church people are dead. What a boring subplot.

 

[CrocMother]

So Ned was basically waiting for Jon to join the Night's Watch to tell him about his parentage?

 

[Staccat0]

I loved that ep.

I hate to be that guy, but I'll admit that the way people nitpick Arya's storyline in comparison to Bran's arguably flimsier one cracks me up.

 

[firehawk12]

I will say, Tomen's suicide just had me laughing because it just looked so ridiculous. Otherwise, I guess I'm glad shit is finally happening and we won't get another year of Dany wandering the desert.

Also, Lady Mormont is the best character in the series.

 

[Volimar]

Just remember that being a Targaryan doesn't automagically make you immune to fire. You have to be "of the dragon" and we've already seen Jon burnt once already, so I wouldn't hold out hope that he's immune.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Bran needs to hurry his ass south and let Jon know.

Poor Meera is going to have to haul his ass without a sled the rest of the way. Thanks Benjen.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Wonder what the heck Jaimie is gonna do, He murdered the Mad King for attempting the thing that his love Cersei actually did.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

RIP Hodor

Seems that way. Ned is the real MVP., that honorable bastard.

Poor Meera is going to have to haul his ass without a sled the rest of the way. Thanks Benjen.

LOL seriously. That got me thinking though, I wasn't really clear on what Benjen was referring to when he was talking about the "magic" barriers or what-not.

 

[Ridli]

Bran needs to hurry his ass south and let Jon know.

Yeah, I didn't catch the establishing shot for that scene. Were they at the tree closest to the wall? Where Sam + Jon took their vows?

Some interesting info there about the magic in the wall btw.

 

[Einchy]

So Ned was basically waiting for Jon to join the Night's Watch to tell him about his parentage?

The last time they ever saw each other, he told Jon he would tell him about his mother next time they met each other, so maybe?

 

[DangerMouse]

That was just her saying "I'm still with you" and that the religious fervor was a sham.

But in typical GoT fashion, the expected result was subverted. Boom.

Yeah.

Someone please shop Jaimie's head to this

OMG lol.

 

[Catdaddy]

Splendid episode, great setup for a 42 week wait..

Varys unlocking fast travel points..

They need to arrest the little girl ruler, she stole the episode, holy fuck..

 

[the_firewithin]

So Ned was basically waiting for Jon to join the Night's Watch to tell him about his parentage?

I don't think joining was the reason but he did say when they split up that the next time he saw him he would tell him about his mother

 

[soundscream]

Yoyoyoyoyo

Watching the tower of joy scene again they focused on Sir Arthur Danes sword. Is it made out of something special? Did maybe Ned bring it back to Winterfell? Could John use the sword if he did.........Dawn=Light Bringer?

I looked it up, Dawn is made from fallen star metal (a meteorite). Who's with me on this crazy train?

Unless WoW is coming out before next season I dont think theres anything to worry about. The show is supposedly well beyond whats written.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Except Jon is not immune to fire.

Ah yeah, sorry about that. Will edit the post.

Haha, possibly, maybe he gets caught in a crossfire of Dany's dragons and whitewalkers...I was thinking maybe that would be the union would be Dany and Jon...maybe not so much anymore...

Except Jon is not immune to fire.

Or not.

 

[BlackGhost]

I've come to like Jaime this season

Idk for me Jaime has been a like able character for a little bit.

 

[Obliterator]

Wonder what the heck Jaimie is gonna do, He murdered the Mad King for attempting the thing that his love Cersei actually did.

Whoa....that is a damn good point I didn't look at it quite that way. I knew he would be mad because it was pretty fucked up but yeah she straight up did what he killed the Mad King over

 

[The One and Done™]

Game of motherfucking Thrones bitches!!!!! The players are in their final staring positions, King of the North, Mother of Dragons, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. And let's not forget Arya is lurking read to fuck shit up!!!!!!Let's goooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooooo!

 

[Archer]

Team Cersei all the way. Ice fucking cold. Fuck 'em all.

 

[BadAss2961]

My new Avatar tomorrow when those across the pond are caught up.

Cersei got her Michael Corleone on tonight.

 

[Smiley90]

hoooooooooolyyyyyyyy shiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet this episode blew me out of the water. what a ride from start to finish.

Can somebody give me the breakdown of who the "highest ranking" members/line of progression to the Iron Throne are now?

 

[Sushigod7]

maybe its recency bias, but those last 2 episodes were the best ever.

Also the soundtrack was way better this episode than the rest.

Nope 100% agree the last few seasons had me wanting to stop this was amazing.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Idk for me Jaime has been a like able character for a little bit.

Still hate cersei

 

[Infernostew]

So somehow assassin school reject Arya is allowed to tap into the many faces... Calling bullshit on that.

 

[Respect]

I've come to like Jaime this season

Yeah, he has been somewhat likable since shortly after he lost his hand for me...grew over time more though.

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

Cersei got her Michael Corleone on tonight.

It's incredible, I was getting Godfather vibes all throughout that beginning. Cersei planning "hits" on all her enemies.

 

[Einchy]

Jon for the Targaryen side and Gendry for the Baratheon side.

 

[harSon]

Jon and Dany going to hook up to (unintentionally) keep that targaryen incestry fetish going?

 

[Volimar]

I wonder if she'll take credit publicly for blowing up the sept, or if it's supposed to be some big mystery.

 

[Staccat0]

Whoa....that is a damn good point I didn't look at it quite that way. I knew he would be mad because it was pretty fucked up but yeah she straight up did what he killed the Mad King over

Yeah my ongoing theory for a little while now has been that he is gonna end up in the exact same "burn them all" moment and have to make the samw decison again.

What is really dope is I could see him going down in flames with her OR killing her and eother one would be totally rad IMO.

 

[Catdaddy]

It was almost like "we blew the budget on sfx in episode 9; time to cull the cast to save money."

 

[The One and Done™]

Team Cersei all the way. Ice fucking cold. Fuck 'em all.

I will have words with thee.

 

[Oreoleo]

Varys unlocking fast travel points..

FOR REAL!!

I get that this episode was awesome and there's a lot to take in but I can't believe I haven't seen anyone mention this yet. How that dude got from Dorne back to Essos in like a day is beyond me.

 

[GK86]

Great episode. I loved the music in the first half. Really well done and it added so much to the scenes.


Overall though, I thought it was a tame season compared to the previous ones.

 

[Hopeford]

So somehow assassin school reject Arya is allowed to tap into the many faces... Calling bullshit on that.

Great, now I'm picturing Arya's decision in her head to drop out of assassin school to have been like literally the scene from Grease.

 

[Einchy]

Soundscream, did that book spoiler happen in this episode? The one that was posted on Polygon.

 

[BadAss2961]

So somehow assassin school reject Arya is allowed to tap into the many faces... Calling bullshit on that.

Many-Faced God dude clearly has a soft spot for her.

 

[Respect]

But another year of waiting...ugh
