Game of Thrones *Spoiler* Thread
There's been some recent confusion with the old spoiler thread, so I'm kicking off a new one for tonight's premiere. This is going to be the one for folks who've read all the books. So anything anybody might want to talk about is in bounds. Suffice to say, if you haven't read the books, you'll probably want to stay out of here until you do...
I'll bump the old spoiler-free thread shortly in case anybody's interested. For future reference the link to that one is here |

I can't remember who bought it first in the books - Joffrey or Robb. |

Man...I would've put my sword through Orell's head after I got on top of the Wall.

Next season will include Joffrey's wedding and Tyrion's framing, The Red Viper fighting the Mountain in Tyrion's trial by battle, Jon fighting off the wildling attack on the wall and Stannis coming to the rescue, and Jon being elected LC of the NW, and Dany taking Mereen and deciding to stay a while, and Sansa leaving Kings Landing, and Arya and the Hound fighting those men (in the books she kills the Tickler in an awesome awesome scene, but he's already dead on the show, so...) and Arya leaving the Hound and taking off to Bravos. Still lots to happen, but I'm so glad they split it over two seasons because they could never have fit it all into 10 episodes. Oh, and Robb bites it first. Then Joffrey next season. Balon Greyjoy dies in there also, not sure if they'll show it since it wasn't shown in the books, it was just discussed. The death of these three kings is what Melisandre will accomplish with Gendry's blood. She used Edric Storm's blood in the books (another Robert bastard). She did some freaky spell with three leeches full of Edric's blood. Show will probably be even creepier. We should find that out in the next two episodes since she has to do that before the Red Wedding in episode 9. |

The one thing I don't like about GoT is how they just shit on the Starks. They better bring it full circle in the last books because they killed off all the cool Stark people already, outside of Arya.

You've got Arya learning to be a killer, Sansa learning to play the game of thrones from the master at it, Bran is learning to see and influence everything, Rickon is probably learning to be wild and fearless, and Jon has been learning to be a leader (hopefully he comes back into it). They could be a pretty formiddable bunch, especially once Arya is reunited with her wolf (make it happen GRRM...or else!). The most interesting part of this last episode for me was Melisandre telling Arya that they WILL meet again. When and how and where? Hmmmm..... |

Robb. As you may remember from the books, Joffrey was demanding that they send Robb's head to them at King's Landing so Joff could make Sansa kiss it at his wedding or some such insanity. Someone, Tywin I think, was like "how about no, you crazy Dutch bastard". (possibly not a direct quote).

Hopefully Arya is the biggest badass on the planet. I keep holding out hope that she ends up warging Nymeria. They play up the fact that all the Stark kids are wargs so we will see if they pay that off. I doubt it will happen but I would love if Bran warged one of the three dragons. Then he truly would fly. |

Bran warging a dragon would be fantastic. I've been hoping for that as well. His powers seem to be expanding. In the Theon chapter released after ADWD, Theon is being held in Stannis' room, and when Asha comes in, Stannis tells her he is going to execute Theon. The ravens in the room start saying "Theon, Theon, Theon" and Asha tries to convince Stannis to do the execution at the weirwood tree in the middle of the lake where they are camped. Definitely something going on with Bran in that scene with the ravens and why did Asha ask Stannis to do it at the weirwood tree unless somehow Bran communicated with her as well. Interesting. Can't wait for book 6! |

Man, I hope not. I really want them to save the Cat/Lady Stoneheart reveal. I hope they do it exactly like the book. Wait until the end of Season 4 to show the book three epilogue. That's my hope.

I think we're saying the same thing. Next season is season 4, and I expect he actual shitter killing to happen in episode 9 of season 4. I think Joffrey bites it early next season too, for sure by episode 4.
