Must be awkward knowing that both people are thinking they want you out of the room so they can go at it but won't say anything about it.
Bran saw coldhands in his vision when he told them they had to go north.
He's not introduced until they get North of the wall, I think.
Did I forget about them having gotten North of the wall?

I like how the show portrays the Jaime Tyrion relationship.
So many feels when the time comes tho.

Great episode, and a lovely rendition of the Rains of Castamere there at the end. I really enjoyed the banter between Oberyn and Tywin. Now if they would just stop moving things so fast, Bran's practically at Bloodraven's doorstep.

Coldhands probably won't be in the show for the next few seasons
Well technically none of this stuff with Bran this episode happens until Book 5, which is where he meets Coldhands, iirc.
Oh, yeah, if you look it that way.

They're fast forwarding Bran's story a ton. He will make it north of the wall this season I bet and in his vision you saw a close up of a hand that looked dead, to me, that was coldhands.
But he helped Sam get south right? Did they leave him out for that?
Which episode was that?

Yes, it's confirmed to be an ep like Blackwater, entirely playing out the battle of Castle Black.
Also, I guess the "giant of lannister" quote is going to be replaced by "my lion". Shae has said it a few times this season.

Does Coldhands even stay with Bran in the cave? I've forgotten.
demosthenes

No, he can't go past a certain point due to magic.
Neil Marshall is directing it and they've confirmed it will take place at the Wall entirely ala Blackwater. I'm guessing Ygritte wont die until that episode either
The episode's only flaw was the inattention to the food. I think there are over 75 courses served at the wedding, and the show did not describe a single course. Roast capons stewed in goat's milk and honey. Or mashed turnips dripping saturated with butter and saffron. Or oysters mixed with onions and a fine Arbor gold.

I see. I wonder if they would write extra material for Coldhands then, in order to include him. If Bran's reaching the cave this season, he'll have nothing to do.

I lol'd
I wondered about him before tonight. Not to say it would be impossible to figure who killed Joffrey, but he's been a bit on the nose about other things.
I watched the east coast feed and am going to watch it with my sis for our west coast showing in hi def. Will be interesting to see how quickly she figures it out since she hasn't read the books.

He meets Coldhands in ASOS, in the Nightfort...

They could really drag out the time it takes him to reach the wall and then the time it takes from the wall to their destination north of it. He'll basically just be traveling for a while.
The second I saw the hand in his vision though I thought of Coldhands, I don't know what else it would have been.
It is a theory, but we don't know at this point.
Red Arremer

Yes, that would surely make for high quality TV.
That's what I thought, but the theory about him being The Night's King seems also plausible.

Really? Damn, my book memories are all mixed up. The split time lines in Book 4/5 and the general chaos of Book 3 has me all confused

I wish they'd done that too, but hey at least we got to see some dwarf jousting (Penny was nowhere to be seen though). I also envisioned the cake waaaaaaaay bigger when I read the book but maybe I was wrong about that.

Yeah. I guess it all depends on whether Coldhands has any significance beyond just escorting Sam and Gilly back to the Wall and Bran and Company to the cave.
Then again, the way in which they downplayed the Black Gate beneath the Wall last year and the more supernatural side of things there makes me think they might just ax Coldhands altogether. Which would be a shame since he's basically a cool Bob Fett like character- sort of a badass but you don't know much about him.
I like the theory that he's the original Night's King.
John Bradley (Sam) said he was cut but that may have meant only for his parts but I think that he's cut from the show completely.

Yeah, that theory is better than Benjen. I always thought it was Benjen until I read the new theory.
Benjen theory is basically we don't where he is and Coldhands is wearing black. The night's king has more.

We don't know that. One of the dwarfs was masked the entire time.
Ah, I hadn't seen that idea. Need to reread Book 5, but that sounds interesting.
What are you talking about? Bran is already north of the wall on the show.
Jibbajabbawockky

I thought that was smart. It allows the showrunners/writers to have that dwarf be Penny if they want down the road, without having to do like they did with Beric in season 1 and having a extra play him only to be recast down the road.

None of them rode on a pig or a dog however, but that detail is unimportant I guess.

Leaf said that Coldhands "was killed long ago", so yeah, he's probably not Benjen.
At this point, I don't think they'll introduce him in the show at all. I don't think he is needed.

Ah I'm so slow. I just got the point of the maester scene. It's to remove him from providing aide. The first of many bad decisions from cesri to come
Cornballer gonna be calling Ilyn Payne pretty soon in the other thread. Jeez.
They definitely left enough of a hint between the framing shots this week and the necklace scene last week for non-book readers to figure it out. Have we ever seen an episode open immediately following the previous one? Given how this one ends there's not really another way to do it.

I don't believe for a second there aren't stealth fuckers in there. They figured out the pearl all on their own? Yeah right. I didn't even notice it.

Tyrion has a pretty good stumble going. I wouldn't be surprised if it picks up a week or so after.
