lol. You confused a man with a wolf and even named the wolf wrong. No worries though, so many names to keep track of.

Speaking of Tully's, I wonder if we will ever hear from Edmure again. Last we heard he has been locked away in a Frey dungeon just before the massacre at the Red Wedding. I'm still not entirely sure why they would keep him alive.
Because him and Blackfish are presumably the last surviving members of House Tully?
Hoster's dead, Cat's dead, Lysa's dead.

Wouldn't that give Frey all the more reason to execute him?
Roose Bolton was actively looking to get rid of the two Stark boys so that North would not rally to their sides.
I suppose you could argue that they can use Edmure alive and threaten to kill him if anyone in the Riverlands decides to challenge the Frey's wardship.

He can put a baby in Roslin Frey and carry on the line. Plus they can keep him as a bargaining tool. Makes no sense to just kill him.
Reminds me of Tyrion berating Cersri for killing one of the three Starks they had to trade and losing another.
Why would Frey need him as a bargaining tool? Why would Frey care about carrying on the Tully name?

It's pretty remarkable that two slimey assholes like Roose Bolton and Walder Frey find themselves on the short list for most powerful man in Westeros(along with Stannis and Littlefinger) following Tywin's death. Oddly enough same alliance exists that has for years between the North and the Riverlands -- the daughter of the Lord of Rivverun is married to the Lord of Wintefell. Only the Stark's and Tully's, respected houses known for their honor and sense of duty, have been replaced with the most treacherous and seedy of houses, helmed by ruthless, greedy Lords. It'll be interesting to see if/when the now infamous double crossers double cross each other . Roose's decision to legitamize his psychopathic bastard as his son & heir, ensuring the North wouldn't go to Walda Frey or any kids they might have in the event he met his 'untimely' demise, was clearly a calculated move to put some distance between the Frey's and control of Winterfell...and probably a smart one.

They're having a Frey/Tully child to give them a sort of official claim to Riverrun, Edmure would likely be offed after a male child is born.
Yup best way to extend your realm. Tully's would become dead in all but name.
There'll be one at the start of S5, which will then shortly get uploaded to YouTube.
Like the same day or the day before?
Literally as the episode airs, before the opening credits, there'll be a recap.

So Fallon cut together some footage so it sounds like the characters are singing "I'm so Excited."
Pretty funny I think.

Haha this is great. I was anticipating the little montage of violence in the middle.
Here's a pretty good summary of events so far:

So have the show-runners mentioned any chance we could get a prequel season?
Fuck... I want to see this on film:
Young Bob Baratheon and Ned wrecking people.

I think they have some pretty funny skits, but I agree that this particular skit was not that funny (I laughed at Tywan as well). Just thought I'd share it.
Well I mean, it was GoT related and after watching it I realized the start of season 5 is almost 3 minutes closer. No reason not to post it here.
Except for maybe the fact that someone else already posted it lol
And yeah, they do have some good stuff. Even some very good stuff.

That would be pretty awesome of they did a whole season or two on the rebellion.

What I'm most excited for this season outside of the show itself is the bar reactions. The fact that the owner is able to fill the bar just to watch the show is awesome.
I'd love to go but it's in Boston.

Binged season 4 over the past couple days, hype levels for the premiere have risen substantially. God I love this show.

I have quite the dilemma... GoT will be screening in NZ at exactly the same time as the US, so it'll be 1pm Monday local time. But I'll be working (at home)... so do I sneak off for an hour and watch? Or just wait till it's rebroadcast later in the evening. Argh.

just record and watch when you get home.
Im going to do the same (Im in Australia). I will record it and watch it as soon as I get home.
it should be pretty easy to avoid spoilers while I am at work.

But they are already working at home. I would take the hour break unless you are going on a internet blackout to avoid accidental spoilers.

Yeah, the TV will be right behind me... it'll be so tempting to watch. But I'd rather sit back and relax with all the lights off when it starts in the evening. I've been pretty good at avoiding spoilers before, this is the first time we'll have a simultaneous broadcast.

With how the very first scene of last season , Tywin melting Ned's sword, turned out to be a massive act of hubris, I'm intrigued as to how the kick this season off.
I'm interested to see the recap at the start. You can always glean some sort of info of what will come up again.
Like last year's recap had Ser Dontos being saved by Sansa and Polliver taking Needle from Arya.

Fuck those things. I leave the room until I hear the main theme. Sure they're necessary for most viewers, but they also spoil the episode. The reveal that Syrio Forel has been locked away in a dungeon this entire time will be cheapened after the recap conveniently shows him squaring off against Meryn Trant four seasons ago.

I just watched the trailer and I can honestly say it was great, but I wish I didn't. I held off for so long and was planing on going in blind, but in a moment of weakness I caved.
Just over a day to go now! We're almost there!
Is it me, or the background looks like it has some Tron business going on?

I noticed those gates at the time. They have a really nice forced perspective effect going on

Re-watching season 4 and there's something about this show that I think I love and appreciate more than anything else, for all the good it does, the best of it is the unlikely relationships it's created between characters.
Sansa and Little Finger, Arya and The Hound, Brienne and Jamie/Pod etc etc. The list goes on.
Really looking forward to see who else they pair up this season. I also really hope Sandor is alive.

Tyrion and Varys.
Jon and Stannis.
Arya and that faceless Braavos dude from season 2.
Cersei and zombie Mountain.
Dr. Bashir is coming. It is known.
Lol eagerly anticipating his return!
Also waiting for the whole DS9 series to go on blu-ray.
