-edit. Renly's was surprising? After Mel birthed the shadow? Also wasn't expecting Snow to get Julius Caesar'd like that.

Maybe I'm mixing things up but I thought we didn't see the shadow being born until after Renly's death when Davos sneaks her under Storm's End, she births a shadow in front of him and it kills Courtnay Penrose.

You know what, you're probably right. The television series probably confused me.

How do y'all feel about Renlys "ghost" being left out of tonights ep? I think it's kind of an important detail. That ghost got a lot of blame for Stannis catching that L and it had a big effect on his and his men's morale.

How they gonna end this season? Seasons always end on some sort of cliffhanger, but the cliffhanger in the book was that we realize Bran is still alive, but the show already revealed that. I think it would be cool if they ended the season with the prologue of book 3.

So who else thinks Aegon is part Blackfyre and is Illyrio's son by his 2nd wife?

idk what he is all i know is Westeros is about to see the 1st silver haired in almost 20 some odd years...legit or not SOME are gonna wanna fukk with his banner SIMPLY because of the ineptitude of the Baratheon-Lannister throne.

and the season ends with Dany on the docks catching that ship to Astapor, the House of the Undying being in the last 15 mins....its such an important foreshadowing event that it woulda have to be in the last episode to remain fresh in the viewers minds

Definitely a Blackfyre. Too much foreshadowing not to be (and that even discounts how ridiculous it would be to have another Targaryen trump Daenerys out of the blue so close to the end of the series).

He wasn't left out. In the book they make it a lot more mysterious and don't reveal it until much later. Plus it's Garlan wearing his armor. It's kinda hard to see, but the dude on the white horse has stag antlers on his helm. He takes off his helm when Tywin enters the throne room and it's Loras.

I guess Garlan is gonna be left out for the show. He's the most chill guy out of the Tyrells.

Yeah, in that one episode where Jaime mentions only 3 people alive in the realm being able to best him in a fight to Brienne, my thoughts jumped to Selmy and Garlan.

But I just passed that part where his sword hand got cut off...:snoop:

:ohhh: Never thought he was talking bout them even though the hound has proven to be an absolute beast. I'm rereading them now to see what I overlooked before. I'll payextra attention around that part this time.
