  2. This hasn’t been revealed yet in the books so it’s pure speculation on my part but this week’s episode really got me thinking about if the sons of the Harpy are not who they seem. It’s almost too obvious that they are the Masters. They wear masters clothing and use the old Harpy a symbol of oppression as their name. Either the Masters don’t give a shit that everyone knows it’s them or this could be a very smart plan by some slaves or other people to drive a wedge between Dany and the Masters.

  3. M: Look what I did isn’t that crazy.
    R: Yes it’s crazy bite me again

    Haha 😀

  4. Happy 275th episode guys! Onwards steadily to 300th. 🙂

    I would be interested in hearing all of your opinions on the upcoming Stannis vs. Boltons battle. It is being stressed so much as a guaranteed victory that I find myself worried.

    We see Boltons prepare for Stannis’ attack and if they’re worried, they’re doing a damn good job of hiding it. Stannis being so certain that he doesn’t want to wait for Jon to return with the wildlings reeks of red alert to me too.

    Since Stannis has been very likeable so far, I’m finding his prospects of dying in the battle very likely. What are your thoughts on this? A potential Bolton victory would be a game-changer for the next season, or series even. Do you think this is possible at all?

  7. Does anyone else think Olly will turn on Jon ? certainly getting ~~vibes after their last scene

  9. Nice owns!

    Would that poem be in The Winds of Winter, or has it appeared already and I forgot it?

  10. Sean C.,

    Well, yes, I thought the writing seemed v. heavy-handed, and yet, Zack, Eric, Micah didn’t mention it at all…

  11. Regarding the discussion of Reek possibly telling Sansa the truth about her younger brothers (which from some of the comments the actors made in preseason interviews I think is going to happen; really, it’s kind of a prerequisite to any sort of relationship forming between these two), it occurred to me that, given that the writers say they’ve had this storyline planned since season 2, the complete lack of any reaction from Sansa to her brothers’ deaths until literally this episode makes even less sense.

  12. Sean C.,

    I’ve seen other mentions D&D said they’d planned on this storyline since season 2 (I’m guessing that means sending Sansa to Winterfell to marry Ramsay). Do you know where they said this, or have a link to it, by any chance?

  13. Lollius Palicanus,

    D&D wrote the poem (I’d thought I’d forgotten it from the book, too, and was thinking about trying to find it so I could reread the whole thing and refresh my memory…hahaha).

    Speaking of poems, that bit at the end, after the exit music, had me in tears I was laughing so hard!

  14. I enjoyed Stannis’s “fewer” line, but not nearly as much as most. To me, the correction felt out of place since the less versus fewer debate only began around the time of the American Revolution and since non-scholarly folks have just now begun to be that pedantic. Is it even possible to have grammatical anachronisms for a fantastical world set during what looks to be medieval times except for the modern-day English? Probably not.

    My favorite correction was the bittersweet sting of Ramsay correcting himself.

    Are you still angry with him after he… what he did? Don’t worry. The North remembers. I punished him for it. He’s not ironborn anymore. Not Theon Greyjoy anymore. He’s a new man – a new person, anyway. Aren’t you, Reek?

  15. Nymeria Warrior Queen,

    How do we know it was David and Dan? I’m not saying it isn’t, but I’d like confirmation. It is a beautiful poem, and I would think it could be from D&D, or GRRM, or Cogman. Here’s all I’ve been able to find in the books:

    Collio began with his version of “The Dance of the Dragons,” which was more properly a song for two singers, male and female. Tyrion suffered through it with a double helping of honey-ginger partridge and several cups of wine. A haunting ballad of two dying lovers amidst the Doom of Valyria might have pleased the hall more if Collio had not sung it in High Valyrian, which most of the guests could not speak. But “Bessa the Barmaid” won them back with its ribald lyrics.
