So creepy Simon from Misfits is almost definitely Bolton's bastard now right? It was already looking that way, but him being the guy with the horn pretty much clinches it. They both seem to have the same love of torturing people; Roose seemed to enjoy making Jamie think Cersei had been killed.

That Littlefinger.
His speech (holy shit it was good, combined with the imagery)+the beautiful music and view at the end =
One of the best endings to an episode this season.

Any tumblr-esque gifs of Littlerfinger's speech - including the scene of Joffrey being a murderous sociopath?

I had to try GifCam for a spin and see if it's as easy to use as they say.
Turns out it is!

I agree. As depraved and terrible as Cersei is, I'm not at the point yet where I believe she'd kill her own blood, even if she hates them.
I love how she hates Margarey for doing the same thing she's been doing for her entire life.
In regards to Theon I think I am disappointed this seems to be the only thing that has potentially been spoiled to me thanks to this thread and possibly book readers.
I haven't come across a single person yet who has been able to piece together all these "clues" we were told about a few episodes back from people in here when Theon was captured.

I remember people talk about this earlier...sad really
Some thoughts.. Either Boltons fucking with Jamie, or hes betrayed Robb. If its the latter, Robb is properly fucked after already having lost the Karstarks. Where the hell is the Greatjon? He at least struck me as a true believer.
Found it odd that Robb's uncle isn't already married. How much younger is he than Catelyn?

Man, that right there is just plain evil.
Another thing I found interesting was the hint at there being no afterlife from that one Brotherhood guy.
Suggests that the God of Light doesn't really care for the humans, but is just using them as pawns for something.
Cersi is dirty, but she values her family above all else. She hates Tyrion, but she's not gonna have him killed. Joffery, on the other hand, is a monster. Not only does he get off on violence and seeing others hurt, but he's a little bitch who lashes out anyone who goes against him. Like Tyrion said, "He hates me because I'm the only one who will tell him what he is."
Margarey came ready to play. She's about to have this whole kingdom in the palm of her hand through Joffery.

There is something I loved very much about Arya saying she shot the dummy target in the tit.

And don't forget Littlefinger and Daenerys who are also playing on a different field from the more obvious contestants to the game. There are a LOT of people vying for the throne and I'm sure more of their plans will become apparent as the season moves on.
I am a whore for this show more than I've been for any show in a really really really long time.

Previously I had no perspective as to how tall The Wall actually was. Between hearing last night it was 700 feet and today visiting the St. Louis Arch (630 feet), I finally understand the scale of it.
I was also surprised to learn that it is apparently just ice. I just assumed it must have been a stone structure or something that time buried in ice.

my guess is that it was created by magic. Seems like in ancient times magic and fantastical creatures were a lot more abundant in Westeros than they are now
Lannisters, Stannis, blacksmith boy, Denarius, Stannis's brother (killed off), Tyrells, Littlefinger now trying to make a power play etc
forgive the lack of names coming to mind :lol
but yea, lot's of people vying for the throne

"Crow" is a nickname for the members of the Night's Watch, not the wildlings. The wildlings beyond the Wall refer to themselves as the "free folk".

God that finger thing done to Theon is still fucking me up just thinking about it.
Thinking about it now, I take back what I said about wanting to see Joffrey fire the bolts at Ros (again, I did not mean me wanting to see it in a sick way).
I've been thinking about it all day and it's made me depressed as fuck.
She was essentially an innocent.
I can just imagine her sheer terror and begging with Joffrey while he just smiled and casually shot crossbow shots at her like she was nothing more than a target.
Sickening.

I don't think it was specific, because she basically mentioned all the eye colors, so I think she just meant Arya might be responsible for a lot of deaths in the future. Once she said it though, all I thought of was how awesome it would have been if Arya then pointed out that Melisandre had blue eyes
My guess she saw the blood of those Arya is going to kill
aaaah I see. Yeah that would of been cool.
Either people she's already killed (fat boy in season 1, the two people face changing guy killed) or people she is going to kill in the future.
I lost a lot of respect for the brotherhood for selling out Gendry. Ransoming Arya to Robb was different, he'd happily pay anything to get her back. I really hope he survives, I can't deal with Chris from Skins dying again.

I guess I could must my recap now that I finally found the time to post something else besides Theon's misery in GIF form.
Another solid episode, but this time with TONS of character development. I liked it. I guess the next one will be more action-y.
- Sam and Gilly opening an episode all by themselves! It was the slowest part of it, but I liked it. Besides, their scenes gave us another look at the dragonglass (was that the name?) lance point, which will probably become useful later in the season. Those things did nothing during S2, yet they were prominently featured during the recaps and now Sam happens to have one. Something is afoot.
- Rabbit skinning 101 was fun. I also liked how Hodor (Hodor) shut the entire argument by waking up.
- I thought the Reeds were highborn, but they are dressed in some rank looking rags. I wonder what's the deal with them.
- Jojen Reed's epilepsy is not boding well for Bran. Is that the price to pay for being a warg?
- I really, really like the Reeds. I don't know why, but they seem the noblest and most well meaning characters in the show so far (even if Jojen looks kind of creepy at times).
- Ygritte's banter with Jon is still delicious. "That thing you did with your tongue". :lol Asshole redheads are such a precious thing.
- Face, tits, balls. Right on, gurl.
- I did NOT see the Melisandre twist. I fully expected her to demand the sacrifice of Stanni's daughter, but I guess it had to be a Baratheon boy. I still have hopes for Gendry, though; "you will make kings rise and fall" makes me think he's not going to burn like other sacrifices to the Lord of Light. There's hope still.
- "That's because you are a girl".
- I find interesting that different people honour the Lord of Light in different ways, just like I feel interesting that Melisandre is positively jaleous of Thoros. Melisandre wants to use the Lord of Light for her own purposes, while Thoros sees himself as a humble vessel for his doing. What a stark contrast.
- Waking up Theon with the horn was hilarious to the point of making me cackle at the TV. Some GDLK trolling right there.
- Theon's capture was GRUESOME. I know that some people argue it's a waste of time by now, but that scene was clearly intended to show that his torturer is not only a vicious cunt (a trait that seems to run in the entire Bolton camp), but also a liar and a trickster with deeply hidden motivations.
- There's something that bugs me about Theon's capturer, tho. By now it's pretty much clear that he's Roose Bolton's bastard (he was addressed as such by his own men and the horn was such a gratuitous give away) but something's off. At first he was cleaning the torture room as if he were another servant and then, after returning Theon to the dungeon, he almost acted surprised when he found that there were other men in the room. Roose said in S2 that his bastard would be honoured to lead the attack against the Iron Men, which implies that he has a degree of authority unlike Jon Snow and other bastards. This is certainly not what we're seeing so far.
- It feels weird that the Lord of the Twins (his name escapes me ATM) would allow Robb to avoid any further trouble so easily. Granted, the conquests are nothing to sneeze at, but what Robb did was pretty damn shitty.
- The Blackfish was awesome. I love this bro. A lot. "The laws of my fist are about to compel your teeth". OMG.
- It surprises me that you can arrange marriages but not force them. What a bizarre law.
- Roose Bolton is most definitely not as loyal as he looked in S2. He's trying to game both sides, but I cannot see his play, however, just like I can't see what's Brienne's worth for him.
- Brienne in pink is not a welcome sight.
- Olenna and Tywin. Wow. Just wow. It was like seeing a mongoose fighting a cobra. So much venom. It was hard to believe that Tywin could come on top, but DAMN.
- Whoever is handling the CGI is doing a great job. That part with the wall coming down was amazingly shot.
- Lora's courtship... so awkward. Tyrion still got him beat, tho.
- This was the episode that cemented Little Finger as a God Tier Cunt. He WILL burn down the Seven Kingdoms just to rule over the ashes. He's every bit as cruel as Joffrey, but with an actual purpose. He's quite possibly the most dangerous man in Westeros. I have to wonder if Lisa will accept his proposal. That woman is crae crae.
- RIP Ros, you will be missed. Even in your death you were hot as fuck.
- Joff, you little shit... People complained about that particular scene lacking punch. I agree to an extent. Still, the most important part is that he finally crossed the line. His hands were already dirty, but now they have taken a life... and he enjoyed it. There's no turning back.
- Little Finger, you cunt.
Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder.
- The scene with Ygritte and Jon looking over the Wall was simply gorgeous. Allegorical, even. At one side, death and cold, at the other, life and salvation. Beautiful.

Why do people keep mentioning the horn having to do with being boltons bastard? Was it because if I remember correctly there were horns that sounded when winterfell was surrounded?
Also if he is the bastard, I don't understand why it would be any great reveal. I mean all there was was a throwaway line from Roose in season 2. I feel like this whole thing is intended solely for people who have read the books...

They are highborn, but their lands are mostly swamp, and they dress for more utilitarian endeavors. Remember how smitten Sansa was with the glamor of court life in King's Landing? The Northmen are simply a more practical bunch.
Don't confuse Wargs with the visions of Jojen. Jojen isn't a Warg. He's a seer.
His name is Walder Frey
That's kind of the impression I get. People have been mentioning his bastard for a while now. It's like...comeon :/

I think you mean Gendry.
I guess without making it a bigger spectacle and reveal and fucking with him, then it's just straight up pointless torture.
At this point though it isn't even going to be a reveal. We all know it's Bolton's bastard. It's pretty obvious at this point.

It's not like they sounded the horns during Winterfell's siege; they were used as psychological warfare against the Iron Men. Theon was driven nuts by them and offered a reward to whoever killed the hornblower.
Come on now. The show has been making you wonder about his identity blatantly and Roose is obviously dirty or at very least hardly clean. I'm not sure if the reveal will pay off (I'm inching towards a big, fat no, considering that this whole part is lacking any sort of momentum) but it's being telegraphed to the audience fairly loudly.
Man...I think you mean Gendry.
Anyway, have they explained in the show the difference between a seer and a warg?
Eww. That looked painful as fuck.
Wargs can control animals. Jojen has not been shown to be able to do that, and Orell did not have a seizure when he was controlling his eagle, so it's safe to presume that warging =/= seizures.

Loved this episode. Littlefinger's conversation with Varys leading into his monologue while showing what had happened to Ros was fantastic. After some people were saying he'd gone tame I thought Joffrey was still a psychopath, just a more outgoing one.
I laughed at Bolton's "overplaying your ...... position" and Granny Tyrell's deadpan sword swallower line.
I felt like there was tons of stuff bubbling under in each scene, much like episode 4.

What happens when the decrepit bumps with the decrepit?
Almost none of the scenes or lines in this show are throwaway.
meh, Joffrey is like a less hardcore version of the shogun in 13 Assassins
