Only took 5 seasons for the north to become the most exciting part of the programme. What a great 20 minutes, god knows what episode 9 will be now!
Agreed. After that, almost everything down south seems so petty by comparison.

Disagree. I think Scrummy has it spot on.The Ironborn represent the Viking culture. Essos is based in two - the republics are based on the Italian republics and the rest except Valyria are based on Africa/Arabia.
The White Walkers are elves. They do not represent any culture outside fictional. The closest things you can go is LOTR elves (Actually, it's Forgotten Realms "drow", meaning dark elves, but I doubt you've heard of that.)
No I think the White Walkers are the dinosaurs
I think the North's been the most exciting part ever since Joffrey died. All of the best episodes since have concentrated on the North.Only took 5 seasons for the north to become the most exciting part of the programme. What a great 20 minutes, god knows what episode 9 will be now!
Epic episode, thoroughly enjoyed that one. Other than the fight scene/ Jon Snow being a generalised badass that's been discussed extensively, a few more notes:
I'm glad to see Cersei suffering. She's not suffered enough yet IMO.
Ramsay will soon get what's coming to him.
And finally, can someone please explain what the feck is going on with the Arya/ Jaqen Hagar storyline? I don't understand what the hell is going on. They speak in riddles and I'm always scratching my head at any scene involving them. A good summary would be appreciated
The gambler was basically providing ship insurance, right? Wasn't really paying attention to that part...
Yeah, the sailors take a wager on their lifes, a sort of life insurance if you like - if they die at sea, they win the gamble and that dude pays his family. But, like Jaqen said, the problem with that is: who'll check if he really pays them the money...The gambler was basically providing ship insurance, right?

I think they were trying to sell the shock, the rowers stopped. Everybody was just watching all the dead being resurrected.One thing I got from tonights episode...
... that drunken Jester that saved Sansa after Joffrey snuffed it was a fecking beast of a rower!
A boat full of grown ass men rowed about 14 feet in 10 minutes at the end there.
Poor fecking Gendry has been rowing for 3 years and he still hasn't gotten to where ever the feck he's going.
Yeah, he only pays out if the ship goes down. But from Jaqen H'ghar's story we're told that he hasn't been paying out to the relatives of dead ship owners.

I think... that Jaqen is teaching Arya how to be a convincing liar but also to be able to be observant and track down people who are worth killing? Skills that are vital for assassins. Now I think he intends for her to kill the gambler with poison?
Wasn't there a scene where it showed Arya putting poison into the oyster? Or was that just a daydream?
I'm guessing he's not teaching her to morph into other people, which is what I initially thought.
She was adding vanilla, like the thin man asked. I think the poisoning will come later.Wasn't there a scene where it showed Arya putting poison into the oyster? Or was that just a daydream?

Vanilla with oysters? What blasphemy is this?! It was vinegar.I don't think she put poison on it? I thought it was vanilla?

Pretty sure he asked for vanilla? While we're talking about that scene, how fecking incredible is not only that set they're in, but the costumes and props? Awesome.

Were they gummy oysters? Because otherwise it'd be just rank.I have vanilla with my oysters all the time. Just the other day I said "I'd like some vanilla with my oysters".
Your punctuation is a bit off there. It should be:Vinegar you dopes
Vanilla vs Vinegar is the new Rape vs Consensual.
Nope it's definitely:Your punctuation is a bit off there. It should be:
Vinegar?!?! You dopes!
Nope it's definitely:
"Vinegar!?! You!?! Dopes!?!"
It was obviously vinegar in the same way it was rape...so you think it is vanilla means you condone rape. Bastard, I hope the whitewalkers come and get you in your sleep.I was about to make that joke. Im with the vanilla crowd. Its an eastern thing.
It's fantastic. The Lord of Bones outfit especially.Pretty sure he asked for vanilla? While we're talking about that scene, how fecking incredible is not only that set they're in, but the costumes and props? Awesome.
