After Owen Hargreaves and Andy Carroll, who is the next footballer to appear on the show ?
Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended

- Start date
No. 'King of the North' were Kings of the North three hundred years before, when Targaryans united the seven kingdoms, the title ceased to exist. But Startks continued having Winterfell and the bannermans in the North answered to Startks. Of course, Starks answered to the king of the ex-seven Kingdoms, or now the King of Westeros.
About fifteen years ago, Rickon Stark (the Lord of Winterfell) and Brandon Stark (his oldest son) were killed by the Mad King. Also, Lyanna Stark (Ned's sis) was dead, though we don't know under which circumstances. Eddard Stark became Lord of Winterfell, but then he was killed by Joffrey. Robb started the war only to save his father, but after his death, the northman weren't that happy that everytime someone plays The Game of Thrones, northman suffer big losses. So, they decided to separate from the rest of Westeros and become an independent Kingdom again.
With Bran and Rickon believed to be dead, theoretically Sansa should be the next ruler of Winterfell, which would mean that Tyrion would be the Lord of Winterfell (Tyrion's son if you want to be more pedant). But, no King of The North, because obviously Lannisters don't have plan to divide their kingdom (now that they rule it). In practice things are much difficult, because northman don't accept to be ruled by a stranger, and the North is not stable anymore. Also, the Boltons historically have fight with Starks for the control of the North. Things are much complicated than just Tyrion to go and sit in Winterfell.
Can someone tell me without spoiling anything what book the current season is based on and how many books have been released thus far?(or PM me to be on the safe side).
PM-ed
My friend told me this was going to happen last year. To be fair to him, he warned me it would be a massive spoiler but I had a few to drink and didn't care at the time. I clearly didn't have enough to forget. It was still quite surprising as I expected someone big to survive but nope.
Also Jon leaving Ygrette, what a fecking dickhead

Well that was bullshit. Might stop watching now, I really liked Robb and his wife.
With so much happening towards the end, I forgot about this bit. Have a feeling this will come to bite him in the ass.
Cheers Revan. I thought Tywin may have tried installing Tyrion as a king/ruler of the North figure with Sansa as his wife to appease the northerners who wanted freedom whilst still basically being run by King's Landing.
Moaners gonna moan.
Go feck yourself you smarmy little prick.
Well, that's the Tywin plan. Tyrion to become the Lord of Winterfell, without separating the North from Westeros. Ending the war with the North, and ruling the North by his midget son. Can it become better?
Three things I particularly liked:
1) The immediate sense of dread when the door closed and the music started playing. Straight away you knew things had just gone bad.
2) The way Bolton gave the game away to Cat with a smirk and a look at his sleeve, what an absolute bastard.
3) The way Talisa died. Even though I knew what was coming I was shocked at how sudden and brutal that part was. It didn't seem gratuitous though, it really did add to the impact.
Only problem I had with the episode was the fact that I keep thinking of Andy Carroll every time I see yer man.

It's an advance party. Seems they're scouting/trying to prepare for the full scale attack.
No, he's not. You really think Tywin would allow Tyrion to be a king?
Jesus H Christ. That was horrific.
Not a footballer, but every time I see Rob's older uncle, I can't help but think it's Russ Abbot.
I honestly reckon I might peace out, I can't take shit like that. I really liked that girl with the beautiful brown eyes. Robb was alright too.
The way Talisa died and the look on her face as she was attacked was probably the harrowing thing I've ever seen in a scripted show. I realise that this has a lot to do with my own personal sensibilities, but I usually never flinch at screen violence.
What was that sleeve thing about anyway ? Anything particular ? Cause it seemed to mean something but I just didn't get it.
Yup. I said basically that to the girlfriend.There is making a point and then there is making a point.
He had his armor on.
He was wearing chainmail armour under his clothes... at a wedding. The only only reason to do that was if he was intending to use his sword at some point.
He was wearing chainmail under his clothes. You don't wear that unless you're expecting a fight. Who expects a fight at a wedding of one your supposed allies?
Too slow feckers.
Bet she wishes she done more than slap him now. Seems like he got off just a bit easy
I know what you mean. His eyes were dreamy.
I preferred his facial hair.
So aside from that brutal wedding massacre, looks like the crippled lad has quite a useful power.
Perhaps he could develop it enough to control a Dragon maybe?
That said you kind of get the impression that Danerys and the Starks are all on team good guy. I guess there would need to be a shift in characterization for a conflict there to occur.

That was shocking. Can't describe it in any other way.
Possibly the most anti-climactic ending i have seen on a TV show.

Also, yeah what happened to Gareth then? Did his soul inhabit the body of that eagle or what?
I'll be interested to see how Daario harnesses his whistling superpower.
I did laugh when matey boy and the worm arrived back to the Queen and then she asked where Carroll was. The look on his face....
You forget that the Starks were leaders of a rebellion that killed her entire family except her brother and an elderly granduncle.
I don't recall that. That's the sort of information that only a book reader would remember. Begone heretic! I cast thee out.

It's in the first episode pretty much, though I have read on the tv show wikia type thing (so no book-knowledge). The Mad King's nephew stole Ned stark's sister and his other brother/father went to get her back so the Mad King killed her, and them, which led to the rebellion. Tywin betrayed the Mad King by sacking King's Landing and helped Robert Baratheon, who led the rebellion with the Starks.
