It sure is... Those blued eyed guys are going to be tough to kill, but I bet my lady’s dragons may cook their butts.

[TexasFreeper2009]

I am guessing the dragons will be used to make more dragon glass.

I am also guessing that Jon Snow will eventually wed Daneries after they defeat the undead.

[ClearCase_guy]

Good episode. I’m glad Arya has normal clothing. i thought Hardhome was a little overdone, but most CGI is. Any episode without Dorne is a plus.

[Sawdring]

I read the first four books about four years ago but heard the fifth book wasn’t very good so I didn’t buy it. I saw the series on Netflix and started watching the series two weeks ago and am hooked. We can’t order the DVDs fast enough.

[TexasFreeper2009]

I am also guessing Sansa will eventually fall in love with Tyrion and they will live happily ever after with maybe Tyrion acting as Hand to the King which will be Jon Snow who is married at that point to Daneries.

The final 15 minutes were intense.

Those south of the wall will definitely have their hands full — next season.

So sad: Queen Mother in a cell. :)

Wow you are moving way faster than we are! I was happy to see Tyrion back in a better postion last night. He’s sharp

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I have to laugh at your graphic..... I kept scanning it to find the temperature! It looks like those you see showing weather reports. ;^)

“I read the first four books about four years ago but heard the fifth book wasn’t very good so I didn’t buy it. “

Actually book 4 was totally awful and he redeemed himself slightly with book 5. Though my anger at book 4 was partially because I had to wait 7 years for it to finally be published, but imho it would still be awful without the wait....so, go ahead and get book 5

Here Be Spoilers from the Episode and My Conjecture!

Poor Jorah can't catch a break :P

While having Tyrion as an Advisor increases Dany's Chances in all this, I still maintain that her Stupid Genes are starting to kick in. And Tyrion sees that and he was as quick witted as ever, it was good to see a Non Sycophant talk back to Dany.

I lol'ed at her "Stop the Wheel" spill. I rolled my eyes with Tyrion, she is trying to undo THOUSANDS of years of Slavery is....what has it been? A Year, worth of her ruling the city?

She is wasting her Time in there trying to change these people, which she should have had her Dragons Nuke the site from Orbit and moved on. (hmmm....that is perfect allegory for the Middle East right now)

Watching Cearsi Suffer is Oh SO satisfying! I don't see a way out for her, confessing to incest and the Murder of King Robert? Stoned to death in the street by a mob! or Rot in the Cell and go mad.

Maybe Frankenstein Mountain can bust her out?

Tommen Calling back his Great Uncle Kevan was the smartest thing he could do.

That F&#@^@r Ramsay had better not Hurt Stannis, Davos or Stannis' Daughter! >:( Maybe he will be captured and burnt by the Red Witch, that would be awesome.

I knew Theon would tell Sansa about her Brothers eventually, Maybe that will galvanize the both of them to start fighting back. Bran and Rickon were Theon's Brothers and it was good to hear them say that.

Finally, while this White Walker stuff is fun and all, to me the real meat of this story is with Cearsi, Stannis and Dany. The Game for the Throne. I bring up a Game I played called "Mass Effect" set in space, you are a marine who goes about righting wrongs and all that Jazz, while you have to fight a Race of Machines called Reapers who turn people into Machine-Zombies.

And to me, that is the least interesting part of the game, the best is fighting Crime or the Politicking of the Galaxies Races.

Ditto here, I want to see More Politics in Kings Landing, Uncle Kevan taking over, Tryion with Dany. Not more Night of the Living Dead :P

Because in Mass Effect, the Reaper invasion overtook EVERYTHING and it lost focus of the "Smaller" yet more fun elements.

Just my Opinion.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I've watched since the beginning and still can't keep all the names straight.... my husband and son help me out when I say "the blonde girl". ;^)

It has been awhile since we saw the younger brothers hasn't it? We cheered when the queen mother was imprisoned.... loved seeing her lap water off the floor. But she will find a way out - she is too evil to say locked up for long.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Winter is Coming"

Correction. After last night's episode, I think it's fair to say that Winter is here. Dragon's glass and Valayrian Steel (from the lands the Targaryens ruled) seem to be the only thing we know that can kill white walkers. If you recall, the Targaryen's sigil are three dragons, Dany is the mother of dragons. I think it's very obvious that Dany is going to be at the wall. She's the only one with her dragons that can ultimately defeat the white walkers.

After defeating them and saving the seven kingdoms, that is her path to the throne.

[Slicksadick]

I’m guessing Arya is going to put the secret sauce in the vinegar, to add to the oysters.

[b4its2late]

LOL. I watched it on DVD’s first 2 seasons. Bought Amazon version for season 3. Then got HBO so I’m all caught up. I haven’t read the books at all though, so I’m just a guessing......

[b4its2late]

Ahh, good theories.

[b4its2late]

LOL
