Shortest guy in Westeros, with the soon to be tallest woman. I smell a sitcom.
Her eyes are unbelievable.
I have trouble figuring out which child Tywin hates less, lol.
And him continuing the tradition of virgins being sex gods in fiction.
Also felt awkward seeing Jon Snow deflowered. He's like a little puppy.
And him continuing the tradition of virgins being sex gods in fiction.
Pretty sure it's fiction.
And it's only if they're loyal to The Lord of light it seems like. Which very few people in Westeros are.
Seems like you need complete faith in the Lord of Light, and you need a fire priest with you. Doesn't seem viable on the battlefield unless you can protect the body and the priest. Doesn't seem worth it unless you're someone important, i.e Bedric.
Dead people have been rising up since the beginning of the series - the wights.
I'm sure we'll learn more about the limits soon enough. Plenty of people have died for good in the show, as they explained to Arya. I don't really get the "fantasy elements" complaint (not directed at you specifically -- it's a pretty common complaint). The first scene of the first episode had dead people coming back to life
I haven't watched this episode on HBOGO yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is explained in the special features

Lena Headey may only be capable of one or two expressions, but "yes it is" might have been the most delicious line delivery in the series so far.
The show is in a fantasy setting... so yeah. Seems like you would need to be loyal to the Lord of Light.
Stannis' princess and The Onion Knight scene was cute. Tywin is boss. Tyrion and Cercei are so fucked lol. I thought Robb was going to say Stannis for a minute. I thought that would've been cool.
Oh I know that, I'm saying it's one thing to show bodies reanimated by mystical white walker beings another to have a grown man, get a sword from the shoulder down to the stomach, die and then be resurrected good as new.
Could someone like this have saved Ned Stark? Be sort of like a headless horseman type?

Beric said something like it doesn't work that way when Arya was talking to him.
And Beric really isn't brand new, he lost his eye and it doesn't seem to be recovered, and he stated that the more time he dies, the more he becomes something else, sounds like he's losing his mind slowly.

He's not "as good as new" he has all the scars from his wounds and has lost an eye, and he says everything he comes back he loses a part of himself, and that he wouldn't wish his life on anyone.
Also forgot to add now I'm hoping Robb is able to take Castely Rock to see that smug taken away from Tywin if even for a little bit. He'll definitely fuck himself over trying to re-take it from Robb because of his Lannister pride and what not.
Also while Jaime's story was a bit sad I then remembered he also fucks his sister and pushed Bran out of a tower. So yeah you still deserve all this Jaime.

To control the two kingdoms they are heirs to I believe.
To secure both the North and the South.

Loras is heir to the Reach, Sansa is Robb's heir to the North. He can get his grandchildren of be King, and the Lords of the North and the Reach and Casterly Rock. He wants a Lannister dynasty that dominates all of Westeros.
Thanks guys. I was just in shock and awe when Tywin made that statement. Now that makes sense.

Here's the Shireen/Patchface song from the credits:
It's always summer
Under the sea
I know, I know
Oh, oh, oh
The birds have scales
And the fish take wing
I know, I know
Oh, oh, oh
The rain is dry
And the snow falls up
I know, I know
Oh, oh, oh
The stones crack open
The water burns
The shadows come to dance
My lord
The shadows come
To play
The shadows come to dance
My lord
The shadows come
To stay

Well, Beric isn't completely good as new. He's still missing an eye. From that, I think it can be inferred that what is lost or severed cannot be re-attached, which would mean Ned remains dead.
EDIT: Missed the Headless Horseman comment. GoT jumping the shark right there

So we don't know why the little girl has the scar/scaling(?) on her face, right? There hasn't been any quick comment in a previous episode/season that I totally missed?
Either way, maaaan, Stannis' wife does not have a great track record for making kids...

Shireen would have been an Belieber.
Arya asked this very question in the episode...
?? That's a comment from this thread, not the show

They explain it in the book. Long story short, plague victim.
I asked in the other thread, I'd check there.
Haha, I know. I was saying that if things that are cut off cannot be re-attached, then Ned cannot be revived. As a headless horseman, he wouldn't need a head to be revived, but that would be jumping the shark.

It's sort of like leprosy, but worse.
gotcha
Just rewatching the Karstark scene. While I hated what Robb did. The guy deserved it. Openly mocking Robb, saying leave me to get a scolding from my king, that's what he does to those who commit treason. If he let it go, they know he's weak, that he won't mete out swift justice but by doing so, he's just shown he's taking the Lannisters side over the Northmen. His mom let the Kingslayer go, he didn't marry that guys daughter but that 'foreign bitch' according to Karstark etc.
I hope he takes Casterly Rock, I want to see a huge battle there. But damn, Winterfell is burned, the very kin of the Starks ie the Karstarks have abandoned them, the North is in such disarray. Maybe it's time for Robb to bend the knee to Stannis and pledge fealty.

Bitch pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaase, as if the writing quality is even remotely comparable between the shows. RR Martin's stuff shits on TWD from great heights in regards to character development. I'm as much of a Rick & co. fan, but the writing on that show is fucking abysmal.

I can't hate Stannis after Blackwater. Old man is a G.
Edit: This GIF slays me
Oh! too funny!
Maaaaaaan, you are made of pure comedy gold!

Um. I think you misunderstood him. He wasn't comparing them. He was making fun of the fact that any character in TWD that gets back story immediately dies afterwards. Calm down.
Episode 6 preview for those that missed it.

The look on Cersei's face after Tywin strides out of the room is great. Lena Headey is doing a great job with Cersei.,
I'm confused, does this thread title not say "NO BOOK SPOILERS"?

I enjoyed seeing Ygritte's naked body, but the big surprise for me was this episode somehow made me desire to see Brienne's tits...
Lol, I was thinking the same thing. I was like she's actually got a slender body and nice ass for being some huge tomboy giant every man made fun of.
Looked like a butt double though, they way they cut off her top half. She has been nude before though, and doubles arent very characteristic of the show so maybe not

What a great episode. So much character-building. Best episode so far this season IMO.
You can see them outside the show with a little Googling.
