HBO's Game of Thrones

[Praxis]

Good thought! [spoiler]Yes, if Melisandre raises him, technically he has fulfilled his watch.[/spoiler]

I just finished my 're-listen' of the Book Audiobook (narrator not as talented as Roy Detrice), and have started in again on Book 5.

Totally. Roy Detrice is so awesome

Of course Jon Snow's origins are a complete mystery...it's mostly fan speculation. But Pete's theory is the top one.

Speculation true, but there are a bunch of facts in there that push you to that direction. Off the top of my head I can recall three things in the book that pretty much lay it all out, the only thing missing is in story confirmation. I think that the Red Witch might be the one to do that.

[spoiler]I'm sure this is nothing new, but I have come to think that a Song of Ice and Fire refers to Jon (Ice) and Daenerys (Fire), which is why I am fairly certain, or hopeful, that he did not meet his end in ADOD. (I think we may see some Lord of Light help) The 2 children of Rhaegar Targaryen ruling? [/spoiler]

[spoiler] Agreed. If I remember correctly, Jon's death-wound is described as "smoking" rather than "steaming" which might be a clue to his return (as a head of the dragon?). Maybe he'll be a Coldhands type of fella. hmm. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]or maybe he's going to Warg it and get stuck in Ghost????[/spoiler]

Roy is getting older..I hope the last 2 books are written in time for him to still narrate them.

It's a nice day for a [spoiler]RED WEDDING! Powerful, even though I knew it was coming.[/spoiler]

People need to die. That's all I can say at this point. The new character(s) included in the scene makes it that much more powerful.

[ChrisMC]

Yeah they certainly twisted the knife with those additions.

[Bromptonboy]

[spoiler]Yes - once we knew that Rob's wife was pregnant - I knew they would have to have her at the red wedding.  That was a brutal and disturbing episode.  I knew it was coming, but it still hit me.[/spoiler]

Game of Thrones, in a nutshell.

[spoiler]2 weddings and a funeral in Westeros...[/spoiler]

Interested to hear Rico's thoughts on the last ep.

Love this article about reactions to last night's ep (note: HUGE spoilers and swearing)

The episode last night.... Holy S*#@ !

[X]

Part of me is sad and a part of me is happy that all the non-readers can now suffer with those that not only had to endure the contents of the episode, but the multi-year wait for the next book.

Thought this would be appropriate.
