I'm sure they have, cuz I've heard it and I've only watched the show.
did they ever mention his name?
They've mentioned it a lot of times, they even mentioned it at least once last season
did they ever mention his name?
Jon Snow mentioned it last night.

I agree that Jamie's actor is fucking awesome.

just rewatched the episode and while I KNOW they are the orphans, I realized that Theon really believes he got Bran... at first viewing I thought he knew it was not them either.
oh and I love the scene with the Queen and Ned's daughter... hinting what she confirms with Tyrion later that Jeoffry is a bastard in more ways than one.
Why would he think that? Osha and Hodor weren't made into examples either.

So wait, that big guy that was telling Tywin about the problem of identifying enemies among them was the Mountain?
As would anyone watching the series.

Oh shit I just realized why he would think that. They found the walnuts there and assumed they were hiding there so they burned the hay but it was the orphans instead.
Shieeeeet.
Met him at the bar I work at occasionally. Nice guy in person as well.
Apparently hes filming a movie with Tom Cruise. Or maybe its done by now.

I knew it was going to be a different actor, but his character is pretty different too. Wouldn't have made the connection between the psycho horse killer in s1.
Fixed.

Yeah, he is a fucking moron.

You can use the HBO viewer guide to fill in details that won't spoil you.

Bejen Stark was clearly established as Ned's brother. He went on a ranging mission in episode 2 or 3 and then never came back. Only his horse came back.
As per the conversation with Craster in episode 11 or 12, Mance deserted the Night's Watch and declared himself King a while back.
On a separate note, the new viewers guide feature about Dany's journey is pretty neat.

No, Mance Rayder is known by the Night's Watch because he deserted them, it's explained in the scene at Craster's a couple of episodes ago.

Did I miss something or did something happen to the Greatjon between seasons?
Theon is stupid, but he's not stupid enough to kill the kids. I think it served at least one purpose - to get Winterfell to believe he killed their Little Lord. As a side benefit, it could be used to trick his family or men into believing he's a straight up Gangsta.
What's just as interesting is that Jaime confessed to Cat the same thing or at least that he had a monogamous relationship with his sister. Makes me think that he thinks he'll be dead soon.oh and I love the scene with the Queen and Ned's daughter... hinting what she confirms with Tyrion later that Jeoffry is a bastard in more ways than one.
I don't think they intend on hurting Khaleesi so I think he's safe as long as he keeps his mouth shut with all the "Don't trust them" stuff. On the other hand, they killed most everybody else that was with her.
Thanks for filling me in.
exactly... they find the walnuts, they send back the old man and say we found them (to each other) as they stand outside the barn. Cut away (easy to assume they burned without looking and maybe assumed they would burn them out of their hiding place or whatnot and charred remains emerge), otherwise they would still be hunting them down would they not?
I thought that at first as well but Theon is acting irrationally ATM and the look of horror on his face may not just be that he just killed kids but Robb's little brother! (guilt)

I think Theon knows it's not them. Otherwise wouldn't he find Osha, Hodor, the direwolves?
He'll probably still have people looking for them.

Um, not enough screentime to fit in all the minor characters? lol
I don't think they even mentioned him at all this season.

I'm not at all worried about her hurting him,
i'm worried that she'll use the sword to release him so he won't get lynched by the angry mob in the camp. I'm sure she would rather let him escape than risk her daughters' safety. If that happens it will really turn the morale among Robb's followers to shit though, which would probably put an end to his winning streak.

I don't know if doing that would guarantee her daughters' safety though. As evil as Jaime seems to be I could see that backfiring on her.
*facepalm*
It could be guilt in that he just killed a couple of innocent kids for the purpose of a ploy.

Seriously.
i guess in a certain light Tyrion kind of looks like Jaime
in, a, uh...well maybe if you just turn the light off altogether

It did look like for a second there that Tyrion was preparing to storm her castle, and Cersei was like "nah gates are open"

I couldn't tell if there was something like that going on or if it was just awkwardness that he was genuinely consoling his sister for the first time.
Ghost_Protocol

What? No way. He was going to try and comfort her, maybe hold her hand or something. Then they both realized they were not close enough to for that to play out nicely. They were not about to fuck. You guys are nuts.
Also, have we accepted that the actress who plays Danerys is clearly the worst actor in the series yet?
That's exactly what it was.
all kidding aside, that's definitely what I think it was. He seemed like he wanted to go there with consoling his sister but was just like 'is it worth the possible rejection' and just stared awkwardly instead
StudioTan
Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
What? No, not in the least. I think he wanted to hug her, or at least felt he should do something to console her, but couldn't make himself do it.

Daaaaaaaang last nights episode was awesome! So many intense moments. I'm glad Jamie was in the episode and damn he was being a bad ass. I can't wait to see what happens next week!
Beating a kid to death, strangling another one and mouthing off like a prick is being bad ass?

If ned stark is to die, then jaime should totally die.

There was just something awesome about him. He makes it seem like he's running things even though he's a prisoner. Plus when he was being dragged back he was just smiling in everyone's face.
Also I thought it was a cool way to escape. :-(

The Maester is a moron for believing those bodies are Bran and Rincon and Theon is an even bigger moron for faking their deaths. Now he's REALLY going to be fucked when the wolf shows up.
Joe Prodigy
Member
I also can't believe I'm going to say this, but I'm really interested to see what will happen to John Snow.
Nah. Theon already proved he was Douche Prime by (badly) beheading whatshisname.
It's definitely not unreasonable for the Maester to believe it.
parrotbeak

Even if it's not the Stark kids, it's still two little kids who have been butchered and burnt beyond recognition. What kind of face is he supposed to make?
