What did Arya show him to get on the boat??

anonacfr · 16/06/2014 22:52

Everyone is bored with Dany's storyline! I couldn't care less about her locking up the dragons.

The rest was epic though. I loved the little Stark choir music at the end before it changed to the main theme tune.

And Brienne and The Hound! It's not in the books and I was worried about it (I had seen a photo spoiler) but it was a fab scene. It wrapped up the storyline quite well too.

BelleOfTheBorstal · 16/06/2014 22:53

Stannis and co sailed up to Whiteharbor and then rode cross country north of the wall.

anonacfr · 16/06/2014 22:53

She showed the coin Jaqaar (The Man) gave her in Season 2. He told her if she ever went to Braavos she should show it and say Valar Morghulis.
It clearly worked.

BelleOfTheBorstal · 16/06/2014 22:54

Arya showed him the coin given to her by Jaqen H'ghar.

Nessalina · 16/06/2014 22:56

Great episode! Watched the fight between the Hound & Brienne from behind my fingers Shock I was surprised Arya didn't put him out of his misery. I love her, but she is one cold bitch!
Joined Jon Snurr in an open-mouthed WTF moment when Stannis rolled in Grin
Cheered when Jamie rescued Tyrion, and double cheered at Tyrion finally giving his father as good as he got!
Thought the bit at the end with Varys was interesting - I don't think it was his plan to go with Tyrion, but on hearing the bells he seemed to make a snap decision - bugger this, I'm getting outta here! Grin

MikeLitoris · 16/06/2014 22:57

I missed the bit where Jamie let him out. Good excuse to watch it again tomorrow

Trills · 16/06/2014 22:59

Why no more Sansa!? I want more of player-not-pawn Sansa!

BelleOfTheBorstal · 16/06/2014 23:02

I actually welled up a bit when Dany locked her babies up.

anonacfr · 16/06/2014 23:04

Jaqen H'ghar... That's the one. I mashed up his name in my head. Grin

AnnaLegovah · 16/06/2014 23:08

I really dont blame Varys for getting out - Kings Landing is gonna be a void of infighting next season.

The scene between Tywin and Cersei was awesome too. Charles Dance is great but I love Lena Headley's acting.

Yes yes to the end music too. Smile

ThisFenceIsComfy · 17/06/2014 07:05

The fight between Hound and Brienne doesn't happen in te books I don't think. I found that confusing.

I think Daenarys is useless. Can't rule, can't keep her dragons, what a waste of a character

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 17/06/2014 07:32

I think her story arc will get more interesting in the next few books. (The old family problem I think will emerge)
Yeah, I thin ink Varys, as usual, thought what was best for Varys. Kings landing is gonna be a mess.
Valar Morghulis till next time.

AmenGirl · 17/06/2014 09:55

Shay's death was a bit violent Sad I assume from where she was that her and Tywin have been bedding each other for a while now, and maybe even plotted together against Tyrion?

limitedperiodonly · 17/06/2014 13:23

I was sad over the dragons. I don't get why she had to lock them away in the dark. I suppose they'd have been a bit of a fire hazard to passers-by though.

I'm a bit bored by Dany but like the way she's learning that ruling is not all about being carried shoulder-high by adoring crowds. The long, flowery introductions show she's starting to believe her own press.

That thing with the old teacher was good because people did sell themselves into serfdom, didn't they, because it was the best thing for them? Probably still do.

Did Varys know what Tyrion did and did he expect him to do it? I thought Tyrion was supposed to go to the top of the stairs and knock four times, but he presumably took a bit of a detour.

I guessed that Varys planned to go back but when the bells tolled, they'd found Tywin and he realised he was going to get the blame for it. I was worried he was going to double cross Tyrion.

I admire Cersei's determination to do anything to protect her children. I wonder if Sansa might become as hard as her because that's the only way to survive.

Oh and about the burnings. Did Jon Snore say something about seeing what happens to bodies

Is that why the skeletons came out of the ground to attack Bran and the others? Or was that just a Jason and the Argonauts tribute?

I could be mixing this up with The Walking Dead. Maybe Jon just meant they rot and create a public health issue even if it is too cold to dig graves.

DoctorHfuhruhurr · 17/06/2014 14:02

Varys could see Tyrion had done something when he opened the door to him, so yes, when he heard the bells he realised he couldn't go back.

I can't remember who it was, but when one of the nightswatch died ages ago, he was brought back to Castle Black and Jon saw him turn into a zombie with blue eyes, and I think he saved the lord commander from it.

limitedperiodonly · 17/06/2014 14:07

I don't remember that, but if so, that's right. Jojen's eyes went before the girl blasted him. I have to say I find Jojen, his sister and Bran really boring. My heart sinks whenever I see them.

newnametoday1 · 17/06/2014 14:41

don't flame me, don't flame me (and I will name change after this) but I did not find this episode that exciting at all. Compare it to Episode 8. Not much story movement. What is the tree/3 eyes raven and what is the purpose? Dany - what is the point of her? When does she propose to make a move? Did not like the Tyrion murders as he is my fav character and it was not a nice thing to do. Luckily though one of the three spoilers i know is out so that is only 2 spoilers to keep form my husband for a year!!

How does the Hound die in the books (if he has already) - does Arya kill him?

Does Yare not try to rescue Theon in the books?

IvyBeagle · 17/06/2014 14:47

On the pyre on the the dead looked much paler than the others, I think he was about to go blue eyed zombie!

IvyBeagle · 17/06/2014 14:48

How long had Shae been disloyal to Tyrion? From the beginning or part way along or since he was arrested?

IvyBeagle · 17/06/2014 14:48

why didnt Arya kill The Hound?

IvyBeagle · 17/06/2014 14:50

Why did she go to Braavos?

EhricLovesTheBhrothers · 17/06/2014 14:53

New name, without too many spoilers -
No yara doesn't make the rescue attempt.
I disagree about tyrion, although in the book there is a big element that is missing in the series about tyrion's first wife which gives more context to the choice he makes.
Dany's lack of action kind of highlights her development from a naive girl who believes you just show up and be queen and that's the job done, to realising how challenging it is. Her story is frustrating because ruling is frustrating.
Bran and the raven - no idea yet! No doubt it will become clear. The last book hints at the power of the greenseers but it's still mysterious.
Can't spoiler the hound story. He does get the icky neck wound in the book.

AnnaLegovah · 17/06/2014 15:14

Please no book spoilers for those who havn't read them yet! Wink

I actually liked Tyrion's murders - he was getting very one-dimensional as a character in a series where everyone are various shades of grey and not black and white.

EhricLovesTheBhrothers · 17/06/2014 15:26

Don't worry I was careful not to spoil anything!
