Can explain the importance of that iron coin that Arya gave to the captain?
I've forgotten the plot of previous seasons.
That dude gave it to her in that one episode, the guy with the sword you remember.

Also, Stannis' army beyond the wall would mean someone gave him a free pass through the gates? And whyw as he even there? Were there any hints earlier that he should be riding to the wall/beyond?
She has some fascination with bastard sons with royal blood or whatever, does she not? What happened to that other guy she kidnapped? Where'd he go? And who were the names with the leeches she threw into the fire ages ago?Yes there were hints, I re-watched the episode the other day.
When Sam first returned with his boring missus, they told the old blind guy about the white walkers. He then wrote to everyone including Davos, who had learnt to read and somehow used the letter to stop stannis killing him.
The red woman then 'looked into the fire' and miraculously saw that 'death marched on the wall' or something.
I was actually wondering when they were going to follow up on that scene - I was anticipating in episode 9 that stannis would ride into castle black as ygritte and co. looked like overrunning it...
That look the red woman gave Jon snow as they burnt the bodies, wonder if anything will come of that...
Grayjoy is the only one left alive that she mentioned.She has some fascination with bastard sons with royal blood or whatever, does she not? What happened to that other guy she kidnapped? Where'd he go? And who were the names with the leeches she threw into the fire ages ago?
So Arya is going to Dany? Where is Tyrion going?

I'm pretty sure everyone instantly thought of Skyrim Draugr when the skeletons appearedHave you mistaken this for the Skyrim thread? Draugr?
If you really want soap opera that isn't actually a soap opera try Chicago Fire. My missus watches that (for the firemen I hope) and it makes me want to stab myself repeatedly in the eyes and ears to make it stop. Fireman finds he has a sister from an affair his father had, he gets to know sister who is a Chef, she cooks dinner for the firehouse, starts to get close to another foreman, gets kidnapped and raped by some criminal her brother pisses off, she gets rescued, leaves to stay with her mother who is in California (not mention previously) seemingly OK with the world. Brother and potential fireman boyfriend seem fine 5 minutes later. Sister is never mentioned again.
Spoilers!
How much longer until the next season? Can't wait already
Disappointed that someone here "speculated" about Stannis going to help on the Wall, of course, maybe that was a genuine guess but now I highly doubt so. Still, very moving scene with the riders.
Some of the expected twists in Tyrion's escape and Arya going to Braavos, but with some unexpected details, killing Shae and Tywin (I'm sad to see Charles Dance go - but I don't think that he'll live after that), two giants fighting, Varys departure
Didn't like the Frankenstein-Mountain scene. GRRM, seriously? And those skeletons and the fire-bombs looked like they were straight from the 70-80-s.
Dany still isn't convincing and her "problems" aren't interesting. Oh, I want to end slavery! But the old slaves want to live like they lived! And sometimes slavery is better than freedom if it means saving innocent goats and children! Meh.
Great episode overall.
So, what's next?
Well, I am officially excited
- Jon Snow is now in the big game, probably - the Red Woman's look was promising. Or was it just about his thing with the redheads? And Stannis is going to conquer the North (how the hell did he went to the Wall in the first place without killing Bolton's? If the wildlings have 100,000 than there should be at least 50,000 riders, they couldn't all came from the see)
- The big fight between Cercei and the piggy-face (forgot the name shamefully, she is stunning) for the influence on the new king
- Probably some brilliant action with this new Varys-Tyrion pairing
- Arya to Braavos
- Baelish to continue plotting
Second one certainly did!
I loved it. Tyrion went full beast mode.
Jamie as hand of the king now?
the whole story about Brann is really weird. Too much magic.
Why was stannis in the north? and how could he just capture the king of a 100.000 men army? I must have missed that somehow.
decent episode. Few unexpected things and again many cliffhanger.
Can explain the importance of that iron coin that Arya gave to the captain?
I've forgotten the plot of previous seasons.
The coin was given to her by J'can H'qar (sp?) at the end of season 2, the assassin who granted her three wishes because she saved his and two of his friends' lives. She used two, and this was the third.Can explain the importance of that iron coin that Arya gave to the captain?

You are right. She named him as the third kill, and he helped her escape if she agreed to un-name him, a smart move by Arya. And yeah the coin was a bonus, a great bonus as it seems.Not wishes, he granted her 3 lives (=kills). And the coin was a gesture of gratitude, if I remember correctly, because she changed her wish and instead of giving him his name she asked him to kill the guards and help them escape. And, probably, because he saw that she can be a killer like him in the future.
How did Tyrion just get to roam around the palace without any guards seeing him? Surely Tywin would have at least a couple of guards around him at all times? Other than that I thought it was a great episode. Wrapped up everything that has happened this season and built up to next season nicely.
Arya and Tyrion are both going to Bravos aren't they? Can see them crossing paths if so.
Didn't Jamie tell him that Varys was waiting to take him somewhere? I feel like he said Bravos. Could be wrong though.Were we told where Tyrion was being taken?
No.Were we told where Tyrion was being taken?
I really like the way Dany's world is gradually unraveling. She's losing cities, relenting on slavery, chaining up her dragons... it'll just be a matter of time before she turns cold-hearted, hopefully. She's been the most 2-diemsional character in the show so far and that's what's turned viewers against her. A change in her personality can only be good for the series.
Maybe there was a maester hiding behind that rock after all.I love the way people spam the thread with questions that can't possibly be answered until next season and then spaz out when a book reader drops a hint.
Good finale. That fight was brutal. Didn't want either to die really. It wasn't really clear whether Tywin or the Hound was dead and that was probably deliberate to leave a bit of a cliffhanger. You'd expect Stannis to be able to steamroller through Westeros now especially if his prisoners fight for him.
Surely the "you will be able to fly" comment just means him warging into a raven (or more likely a dragon). I think even for this show a flying cripple would be a tad ott.
There are a fair few characters now that need a new story arc in the show (Tyrion, Brienne, Snow). Next season should be interesting.
The free cities are Bravos I think.Didn't Jamie tell him that Varys was waiting to take him somewhere? I feel like he said Bravos. Could be wrong though.
Edit: Quickly rewatched that part, Jamie just says that Varys is waiting to take him to the free cities. Which free city is anybody's guess.
It was the lack of nudity
No, Bravos is just one of the free cities. There are others, like Mereen(where Dany is). Of that I am sure.The free cities are Bravos I think.
That was some really accurate firebolt spells by one of the "magic children".Have you mistaken this for the Skyrim thread? Draugr?
No, Bravos is just one of the free cities. There are others, like Mereen(where Dany is). Of that I am sure.
Ah ok. Bad example then. The point stands though, there are free cities other than Bravos.Meereen is not a free city. Free cities are Bravos, Pentos, etc..
