If you scroll down to 0:33 you can see the set-up for Robert's small council. The empty seat next to him is for Ned, the one on the other side is for Stannis.

normally the king does not show up to small council meetings though, so sitting next to the hand is usually best seat I'd guess.

What was up with Theon almost getting raped? I guess they were trying to cram as much attempted rape in this episode as possible.

nn to speak Hodor here, we all speak the common tongue quite well.

I thought that the message they were trying to convey in this scene was pretty insignificant. Drawing it out didn't save it, for me at least.

I don't quite get what the Crows have been up to. They went to the other side of the Wall to confront the White Walkers? Or just as a scouting expedition? Clearly they ran into some White Walkers and lost men. And now they've returned to that creepy fat rapist guy, apparently having accomplished nothing. Feels like some narrative has gone missing (or it's me who's missed it).

For instance, when Jon Snow and his group went scouting, it was for wildlings, not white walkers.

I don't think they were expecting to find a huge zombie army. Hence, once they ran into the zombie army, they decided that they needed to retreat and warn everyone else.

This is better than the hot pie post imo.

-I'm definitely in the camp that thought the small council scene was a dud.

-Walder Frey playing a role in Winterfell sacking is plausible.

-Sometimes I think I have watched every episode too many times and know everything about the show, but then people talk about characters having their own personal soundtrack and I'm like, "Yeah, time for another re-watch."

It will be interesting to see how Jamie reacts to having his hand cut off. He's always been an uncaring robot badass. He could look down on everyone, analyze them, and talk sht. There's never been a reason for him to be human and vulnerable, ever.

The conversation where he talked about his father forcing him to read and learn lots of fancy words was likely another case of foreshadowing.

I think the slaver dude fancies himself a pretty good trainer.

Yea, that was quite a left turn, I thought dude was gonna piss on him or something then you see Theon's pants down and talk of ****ing him into the ground. Really, that's how you br0s punish runaway males? You **** them? Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Just to clear up what seems to have been overlooked by many itt-- Dany is not planning to get her slave army, then invade Westeros. I think it was e01, she and Jora discuss how she will need to prove herself for the Dothraki to rally behind her. This seems to make it clear that she will spend plenty more time in Essos, campaigning to raise a suitable army.

Also note that Robb's army at the start of the war was in the ballpark of 20k. So, yeah, 8k super badass slave soldiers plus a sprinkling of dog sized dragons isn't gonna cut it.

Now that Khol Drago is dead, is she even planning on using a Dothraki army anymore? And, wasn't she selling the remaining Dothraki to the slaver as part of the deal for her slave army? Doesn't seem like a credibility increasing move with the Dothraki to sell some of them into slavery, although given that she's selling a dragon too, who knows how much of the deal she's actually going to carry out versus how much is just going to be a bait and switch.

I think the implication was that the dragon would cover the entire balance.

Regardless she is never going to honour her deal with this guy. Just a question of which episode he gets torched in imo.

if only there was a thread where a bunch of people who read the books and know all the names and proper spellings could hang out and discuss the same topics...

There is precisely zero chance Dany does either of the following:

1) give up any of her dragons

2) sell her (humble) khalasar into slavery.

And yes, she does plan to rebuild her khalasar, or at least that's the way it seems. After all, I did reference dialogue which took place two episodes ago which points to this being the case.

Oh, and, what do you mean "who knows how much of the deal she's actually going..."-- What alternate reality do you come from in which a deal like this can be fulfilled in some way other than completely or not at all?
