dat ending. So awesome. I had a feeling she knew exactly what he was saying. She always had that look on her face that he was a fool. Nice to see my suspensions confirmed.
She looks like she has a big ass army ready to do what needs to be done. Think this is the first time you can actually fear her. 3 dragons flying in the sky, 8k guys marching forward. Damn, just damn.

Drakaris!
I was actually thinking that. Last episode was the first time this season wasn't it?
Ladies and Gentlemen of GAF, you've just seen my absolute favorite scene of the entire series so far.
I'll duck out since this is the "No Book" thread, but I just wanted to share that with you because it is awesome. That was pretty much identical to the book and was no less chill-inducing. They really handled it well, I've been waiting for that scene all season.
Seriously, this is one of those bits that makes ASoIaF so popular. Fuck yeah and such, carry on as you were, non-book folk!

Oh man that was such a great fucking episode! I can't believe how good this show is.
Seeing what Varys had done to the guy who cut him, the nights watch falling apart, Daenerys owning the slave masters, and everything in between was all so awesome.

It was a nice episode, but I don't care for Daenerys.
Jon Snow and nude Ygritte!

Last 10 minutes, I came.
Link please. :3
Fucking Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaeryan, she seems to be learning well. I thought she was gullible and naive but damn. 8000 regimented troops who will obey every command and 3 dragons. Good luck Joffrey lol.
Poor Lord Commander though. That was so unexpected. I thought these guys were all about honor and obedience to the nights watch? They just killed the Lord Commander. I wonder if Jorah who is with Dany will find out his dad was killed in a mutiny.

She should go back and spite her enemies from season 1
So she'll dick around finding parts for her army seasons on end to march into kings landing? Ok then.
Yeah. It's hard not to like both the Mormonts. It's crazy to see that go down. Hopefully Jorah finds out at least.

Saw that ending coming a mile away but it was still incredibly epic. Proud member of #TeamDany right here. Not sure who has it worse at this point, Jamie with his hand jewelry and stomach full of horse piss or a thoroughly mind ****ed Theon. Amazing episode.
Nights watch is made up of rapers and thieves.
Oh man, I bet those Dothraki's will be shitting bricks now.
Another question, why would Dany automatically be assumed to be the rightful ruler of the throne? I get that Aegon conquered the kingdoms and set it up, but he invaded and took over, sort of like what Robert did when they rebelled. Isn't the rightful ruler right now, technically Stannis or possibly Gendry who is Roberts son?
Edit: yeah the nights watch is made up of criminals running from their past, but I thought this was their saving grace? To leave their past behind? Otherwise the nights watch wouldn't have lasted so long since the first men if people would just mutiny and kill the Lord Commander no? Or was it different because now they have proof the White Walkers are back?
This was a good episode but it felt very dispersed. And my points about GoT being delicious morsels instead of a meal still stands. What was the point of the Bran shit if we didn't really get anything? Dani's part came in at the very end...but it was good so that's fine. I feel like this story is infinitely expanding in a show format and they have no end in sight for any of the storylines that had already developed. For TV this might be bad. I don't want it to come to a point where all we have are good scenes but as far as the overall story there's hardly any progression.

I believe the armies of both Joffrey, Stannis, and Rob number in the tens of thousands. But still they are not as well trained as the Sullied and have dragons either.

Haha, yeah this. Let them run into some Whitewalkers and then get a creepy incest loving, baby sacrificing nut to starve them to death and that seems like a pretty likely outcome.
One question though, what was the big deal if they just killed Craster? I mean how important was he? Just that he had some food and shelter for Rangers beyond the wall?
Gosh, we're so honored.
While they're all fighting each other, she'll swoop in and take the throne.

Obviously, there are, uh, differing opinions as to who is the rightful heir to the throne.
But prior to Robert there were generations upon generations of Targaryen rulers. Dany wouldn't be assumed so much as have a popular claim for restoring the throne to the Targaryen line. Essentially she has at least as good an argument as any of the other contenders.Technically you're correct, though, the throne "rightfully" goes to whoever wins it and holds it.
North of the wall though, everyone hates the nights watch. So I think they used him for food, supplies, a bed and information. It's like having a dictator as a friend in a hostile area. The man was a monster, but a useful one.
But the nights watch is also made up of good people and this is their chance to redeem themselves. I don't know, I just think the Nights Watch took a hit it might not recover from. I wonder what Jon will do when he finds out. I hope he personally slits that guys throat, the one who bullied Sam and then knifed the Lord Commander.
Yeah there are good people but they're likely outnumbered by the bad. Also I interpreted the scene as not just a mutiny but more of a civil war, the nights watch is fighting the nights watch right now sam's a craven so he just ran.

Wow, that ending scene was awesome! Even though the outcome seemed predictable the execution was no less flawless to me. So good.
I loved the way this episode was filmed, it seemed so much closer to a movie than a tv show. The show has always looked good, even better as the seasons go by. But I really loved some shots in this episode, like when Varys was telling his story to Tyrion. And he got the Sorcerer delivered to him :0
I felt slightly bad for Theon, he truly seems regretful for what he did at Winterfell. But holy hell at that 360 with him back where he started. Not too sure how I feel about the newfound respect Brienne has for Jaime. He's a bastard, dammit!
I have to go back to that closing scene though, I thought it was fantastic. Just gave me an "oh yeah" feeling throughout. The shot of Dany on horseback, the marching soldiers and the dragons flying overhead like they're ready to just wreck shit!

Yeah, she's pretty awesome. It's as if she grew up on a farm or something and suddenly came into money but still keeps it "real" if anyone understands what I mean.

I'm really looking forward to see how this unfolds. I loved the final scene and the Nights Watch scene... but this whole thing is just crazy. I don't see how he'll ever get out of this unless his sister really does care for him.

Oh yeah, the Night's Watch scene. I can't say I was sad to see that bastard go. A shame about Commander Mormont though. Theon's story really is a mystery to me. Unless I missed some dialogue explaining what exactly happened to him back at Winterfell when he was clubbed over the head where exactly did all his men go? Where is he now? So many questions

He was not resentful to the Starks until he got back home and his father practically did not acknowledge that he was his son. Also his sister was chosen over him.
Edit: Whoops sorry I misread that. I think he was one of the Boltons. I believe he went through that entire ruse just to break Theon's spirit.
Opps I mean why did they guy who help him escape turn him in again?
WTF that is fuck up.

Well at least it looked like one of the Bolton's men judging by what happened tonight.
Theon's captors have said who they are?
