Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended

You guys really think Brann is going to go back in time and meddle again? The Targareyens are inbred, that explains the King's madness. Unless you are suggesting that Brann constantly followed the King through time whispering in his ear. I think this time travel has thrown people off too much (they didn't even do it well). Game of Thrones isn't going to turn into a series about Brann time travelling. The Raven didn't mess with things and I don't thin Brann will after what he did with Hodor.

As much as she has grown a backbone I don't like what Sansa is becoming. Jon picked up on her 'he's not a stark' and some cute top won't make him forget. I could see them closing, Jon kills her if he must.

Also did anyone think the Greyjoy scene was going to end with him actually dead and everyone standing around awkwardly like 'oh, shit, what do we do now? Guess we gotta go and find that girl to be queen after all'. After the Monty Python's Life of Dothraki sketch in the first episode was sure we were going to get some more comedy.

Yes :lol: Which would have been great for a comedy moment, but glad they didnt go that way for story purposes.

Whats more interesting imo is whats going to happen with Theon/Sister (can't remember her name) and that storyline. They have a fleet but what exactly will they do with them? They can't exactly help Jon with boats can they?

Has to be going towards Dany, to either tell her about the plan or to stop it from happening. And with the boats, they could strike a deal with Dany who needs them now.

Yeah what was with her lying about where she got the info from about the Blackfish and also not suggesting the Vale army when they were trying to work out the size of their forces?

Anyone think that she could double cross Jon after the dust has settled on the inevitable showdown with Ramsey and ride in to mop up with the troops that Littlefinger had promised her?

Essentially when Bran was in the dream state he was kind of flitting between the past and the present & when he warg'd into Hodor he acted as a conduit between past Hodor and present Hodor connecting the two, either the connection fried young Hodor's brain and he is only able to mutter Hodor (Hold the door) as it's the last thing he heard or he experienced first hand his own death through present Hodor and the trauma of that is why he's only able to say Hodor, I'm gonna go with the latter.... Hodor.

Thank you, this makes a lot more sense now.

I think it makes more sense that it's the second theory also, considering he began saying 'Hold The Door' and eventually went to 'Hodor' due to the trauma.

Does Jon know that Littlefinger was part of the reason Ned died when he turned on him in s1? If so, then Jon may not like the source of the info, which would make sense.
 
Coming into work today, I hear from behind me one of my coworkers shouting "Hold the door!" She has her arms full of stuff so would have a hard time swiping her pass to get in. Still had to suppress a laugh, asked her if she watches GoT, she does not.

Don't think so, but not sure how much Sansa has told Jon about what has happened to her. We could assume that Jon might not be too happy with the guy who turned her over to Ramsey Bolton.
 
Mixed feelings about episode 5. All of it was well done, the final scene particularly so, however:

- Couldn't really be bothered about Mr. Friendzone and what seemed to be scene out of a teen movie.

- The origin of the Whitewalkers - again, it's a scene, but they explain nothing. How did they actually create whitewalkers by sticking a knife/rod/whatever that was into a guy's chest?!

- Euron Grejoy is a really uninteresting character. Please waste less scenes on him.

- The last scene - Good fun, and I liked the "hold the door" bit, but do people really care so much about characters such as Hodor and the three eyed raven to be so devastated ?

Hodor :(

Fecking grim end - his entire purpose in life was that. And another direwolf down too, is there only one left?

Yeah, by no means a perfect episode but I just love the wights/zombies/whatever, the white walkers I'm less keen on. Really hope the next season ends up being a zombie dragon apocalypse

Ghost and Aryas are the only ones not dead and we've not seen Aryas since like S1E3/4 :(

the 3 eyes raven says to bran " it's time for you to become me "

Is bran now indeed the 3 eyes raven ??

To be honest I hope they kill bran off soon , time travel is too much to wrap your head around way to many theories and plot holes. It completely ruined lost

They can't though (ok, they can) but they've spent four or so series building to this point, he'd sure have to do something (maybe set in motion the entire chain of events by fecking with the past) before they could.

- Meh. I like him as an actor so I want him to stay in it.

- Dragonglass. Kinda makes sense in a Kryptonite sort of way that it gave them their power and yet can also kill them.

- Anyone else thing he looks like a rubbish Russell Crowe?

- Again, I'd say I like both actors so would want them to stay in, plus Hodor is a cool DJ in real life. Cmon like, Rave Of Thrones? :D

The new Red Priestess, Kinvara, is stunning. She has Varys by the balls, so to speak.

I thought it was Rachel Weisz at first.

Agreed.

The end was exciting but the rest was ponderous, clouding the fact that the rest of the episode wasn't that great, classic Game of Thrones.

The Sir Friendzone stuff is just an endless repeating cycle of meh, just like Danery's whole storyline and Arya's storyline is just the same no progress stuff every week.
 
What a cracking pair of
storylines between Bran and Arya.

Also looks like I was right about Yara meeting up with Blondie eventually. I thought they were doing some foreshadowing earlier if you juxtapose the fleet burning down in Mereen with Yara arguing with her father and claiming they have the greatest fleet in the world.
 
That was really brilliant, one of my favourite episodes ever.

I think there was a tear trying to come out at the end, heartbreaking.

I was exactly the same. Seeing Summer die like that then seeing Hodor both start and end was so sad.

Well, look at this thread / twitter etc to see the reaction. It was built and done so well, that people are actually devastated. It was sad yet heroic but mostly sad especially seeing another direwolve go down :(

Yeah, I'm not emotionally invested in either but the way they went out... especially Hodor. Not my favourite espisode by any means, probs nowhere near top 10 or even 20 but it does set things up in a big way.
