when ramsey said "it will be a feast for crows. "

 

[detroitwalt]

where would yaw rank this episode? definitely top 5 right?

sam why you ain't stfu? olly definitely about to pull the stab move.

Yeah, Sam just inadvertently greenlit Jon

so brehs even though i was wrong about the WW dying because of the valyrian steel, am i wrong about some recognition of his true nature by the presumably Night's King (or the Night's King sergeant at arms)?

recognition either that he is a force to be reckoned with or, if that really is the Night's King, that they both might share Stark blood

or maybe he was just glaring at him because he's the first commander of any human troops, at least in the last thousand years, to realize that valyrian steel can hurt them

 

[Anbesa]

Breeehhhhhsss
This episode exceeded every fukking expectation I had going in. I damn near had a nerdgasm when jon destroyed that whitewalker with his sword. Easily a top 5 episode and possibly number 1.

i feel like this was a nod to the old legend of the stark who teamed up with joramun to take down the last nights king. Jon Snow/Tormund playing those roles now.

yeah that fits. the seemingly earth shatteringly important political alliances formed are really just same soup, reheated

but what about the idea that Night's King is a rogue Stark that took a PAWW for his wife? we buyin that?

could mean nothing for the books of course, hardhome will probably play less of a role in the grand scheme of ASOIAF

And I was worried who that was in that hood too. My heart was already!

I was so sure that dude was gonna do some demonic shyt. He was too damn calmed considering the situation

My inner stark stan will not allow me to buy into that theory, probably a bolton. I don't see hardhome playing a big role in the books, the producers were talking about using it b/c its a location book readers and show watchers alike know very little about.

 

[Chris Cool]

i think the night king being stark is gonna hold some kind of weight. i believe in old nan.

yaw think that shyt warm?

 

[MidniteJay]

Just two more episodes for that Azor Ahai confirmation and I'm sure Stannis stans are about to be upset.

 

[Foxmulder]

Most Stannis stans don't believe Hes Azor Ahai. We just believe he's the rightful King.

Do yall think the Ancient Valyrians saw the Night's King and the other White Walkers when their magicians peeked into Westeros?

I can imagine them saying "Nah....we good right here in Essos"

The Boltons do love some fukkery

But not all Starks are good, it's all generational. The reason we know so much about Tywin's dad is to show how houses can claim their words and legacy, but ultimately what they do is down to the guy running them at the time. Look at the Tarlys of Horn Hill. Sam was set to inherit Heartsbane

I'd say yeah, there's a reason it took the Doom for a Valyrian family to head west. Not necessarily because of fear but because of opportunity cost. Only when they were confined to Dragonstone did they decide it was worth it to expand.

Aegon the gawd had enough trouble dealing with the humans, imagine if the Wall weren't built yet

Anyone catch when Arya was talking about she does right when she said the word "canals" a cat ran past as in cat of the canals. Just something I noticed
