Hello, nerds! Axey here, with another Twitter post… that’s NOT A TWITTER POST.
(I know, disappointing, but come on, what the hell were you expecting? Episode 4 hasn’t even aired yet!)
What I’m doing right now is announcing Watchers on the Wall‘s Twitter Giveaway! (It’s a… Twitterway, I guess.) And the good news is, not only is this contest open to ANYONE IN ANY COUNTRY- non-Americans have just as much a chance as winning as any nerd from Boston -but we’re DOUBLING DOWN on this one. Curious yet? Here’s how this works:
Tonight, Game of Thrones episode 604 airs. People will tweet about it. As per the usual, I will gather up some of the best tweets, and place them on my usual Tuesday Twitter post.
From there, the onus is on YOU.
Do you feel the joy? I most certainly do. But I want more and I bet you do too. Here’s your weekly Brush-up video of last week’s Game of Thrones episode entitled “Oathbreaker”. This video should be safe enough for the Unsullied with a warning at the end so they know when to stop.
Video after the jump.
Kit Harington appeared on last night’s episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, playing a game with other guests and chatting about superstitions and keeping the secret of Jon’s death/rebirth. Now that Jon Snow’s resurrection is out of the bag, Harington can speak freely about what it was like keeping the secret all this time. He does admit to letting a few close family members in on it though…and a random policeman.
And now his watch is ended.
Owen Teale did not match the book description of Ser Alliser Thorne, and that’s where that ends.
In every other way, the man- the actor- did something rare on the show, which was to surpass the role given, elevating the character’s importance on the show and in my own headcanon. For me it was the season 1 “Die, like flies” speech he gave to Jon and Sam. That’s the one that made me sit up, take notice, and say “This cat’s different. He means something.”
“The Temple of the Dosh Khaleen – that’s where they’ll have taken her.”
Tyrion strikes a deal. Jorah and Daario undertake a difficult task. Jaime and Cersei try to improve their situation.

Emotions have leveled after our past trip into the Dornish countryside. The finer points of Oathbreaker must be discussed, and your Owns must be chanted.
We asked, you answered. A collection of thoughts and theories lie within!
