Speaking of Osha, it kind of pissed me off that they went the Viewers are Stupid route and changed Asha's name to Yara (and also pretty much ruined her storyline in general).

Also is Balon Greyjoy dead yet? Have they mentioned him dying offscreen by falling off a bridge?

(click to show/hide)

A lot of people need to die in Episode 10. What's one more?

[LeeC]

[94ssd]

I've been saying that to people for a while. You shouldn't put so much pressure on artists.

I'd rather have a good work that takes a long time than crap that was cranked out to satisfy the masses.

[Method of Madness]

My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

[94ssd]

So for book-readers, Lena has posted another very interesting picture on Instagram. Not really a spoiler, because non-book readers wouldn't really get it (I've spoilered it below anyway), more of a hint. About something that will most likely happen in Episode 10.

Caption: "My stone heart"

[ChaoSera]

I'm more looking forward to fun on the crapper, if you catch my drift. Goddamn, I want to see that scene already.

[Edguy]

Someone will be looking forward to a golden embrace, "For hands of gold are always cold.."

Same, it'd complete the trifecta of things I've been looking forward to all seasons, after the Purple Wedding and Gregor v. Oberyn. Btw, I was so worried that Gregor would fuck up his murderous monologue and he didn't. So happy.

Tywin did not, in fact, shit gold. Also next episode is something I thought would happen in season 3 but the Craster stuff pushed back nearly a whole year. I know my room is going to get suddenly dusty when Ygritte says "you know nothing, Jon Snow" for the last time

Wonder if they'll to dramatize things more by making Jon the one who kills her..

I'm pretty sure he just finds her pierced by arrow(s) after the battle is over, and he's pretty sure he's not the one who shot her.

[LeeC]

Simple sum up of episode 8   

[Thrillho]

Oberyn: what a cunt.

Gareth's viewing experience of the fight:
Okay dude twirly spear shit doesn't win battles.
No one gives a fuck about what happened to your sister, you're, you know, fighting to save someone else's life.
STOP MONOLOGUING AND KILL THE MOTHERFUCKER.
Oh, look, I didn't see that coming. You stupid, stupid fuck.

If they actually kill Tyrien - and I really doubt they will - I would probably stop watching. I really don't root for anyone else.

BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

[94ssd]

I'm really excited for tomorrow's episode because it's directed by Neil Marshall. He also directed Blackwater, which is still my favorite episode. And (only very slight spoiler)

(click to show/hide)

this is another epic battle.

[Grognard]

HA. for the VERY first time, the cable co. comps me for an outage... so I get HBO for the weekend.
thus, I get to watch this, my very first episode.

and yeah.  Epic monologue is a GREAT way to telegraph: "I'm about to die messily."
dumbass.

It wasn't made clear in the show, but his spear was poisoned. He didn't want to just kill Gregor, he wanted him to die slowly and painfully, after confessing his crimes. He gets what he wants, but he's not around to see it.

[Method of Madness]

Gotta love Sam explaining how the vows don't ban fucking, just marrying or having kids. Technically true, but probably wouldn't help if you get caught.

Edit: You know nothing, Jon Snow

[Blue Kitty]

That was one heck of a fight

[LeeC]

this scene was pretty metal

They killed Pip and Grenn,

who survive in the book

and there was no sign of Stannis the Mannis.

I was wondering what those chains would do. My girlfriend cheered when they came down

[94ssd]

[ChaoSera]

Great episode. Unless I'm mistaken this was also the first episode that played entirely in one location.

[94ssd]

Blackwater (Season 2, Episode 9), which was another large battle and directed by the same guy, was all in King's Landing or just outside its walls.

[ChaoSera]

Oh, right. I forgot about that one. So this is apparently a privilege reserved for large battles. I like it.

[LeeC]

Been waiting all season to find out what happens to this guy and he has yet to make an appearance (taps foot impatiently).

(click to show/hide)

My guess:

(click to show/hide)

Not unlike Hot Pie he finds a place to work for a bit and Brienne find him, sees the family resemblance to Renly, and stuff ensues.

[Thrillho]

Edit: You know nothing, Jon Snow

My eyes rolled so hard at this line they nearly fell out of my head.

[LeeC]

I need to stop internetting, just figured out who Arya and the Hound were talking to in the preview of the next episode. 

[Method of Madness]

Hell, I don't even know who they're talking to.

[94ssd]

I need to stop internetting, just figured out who Arya and the Hound were talking to in the preview of the next episode. 

I haven't seen the preview, nor do I know who they're supposedly talking to. But that scene is an add-on from the books (every Arya/Hound scene since like episode 2 of this season has been), so whatever spoiler you think you got is either a troll or someone making a guess.

[Method of Madness]

What 94 said.

(click to show/hide)

In the books, he dies from wounds received at the inn.

[LeeC]

It is a guess...
look at the shoulder

[Method of Madness]

Hmm...

(click to show/hide)

That would explain how Brienne knows the Hound is dead, as opposed to having her find the guy who buried the Hound. It would also mean the show isn't going to bother with Lady Stoneheart's associate stealing the Hound's helm from his grave and pretending to be him.

[Blue Kitty]

The latest Mountain is only 25 years old. HE IS YOUNGER THAN I AM!!

[Method of Madness]

Damn it, me too.

[94ssd]

The latest Mountain is only 25 years old. HE IS YOUNGER THAN I AM!!

He's a hell of a lot younger than the actor playing his younger brother. Rory McCann is 45.

[J]

the hound's older brother is young enough to be his son.

[Thrillho]

I found this episode a bit boring honestly. I guess these days I have less of a nerd-boner for violence and I'm more about plot development, so in this episode the plot development amounted to 'they held the castle BTW'.

I would not be so sure about that.

[Method of Madness]

Have you not read books four and five? Brienne finds the guy who buried the Hound's body, and left the helm on the grave, where it was stolen and used by several of Lady Stoneheart's associates to convince people the Hound was still alive and allied with her and the Lord of Lightning. The show seems to have the Hound die of an infected bite, with no ambiguity about it, with Brienne seeing him die (which doesn't take away the possibilities of the same things happening if they bury him and mark his grave with his helm, but the difference is we'll know he's dead for sure sooner than we did in the books).

Unless you mean you're not sure that's what killed him, in which case...maybe, he made it to the place where he was buried. I guess anything could've killed him there, really.

Yes I have. You may want to ponder these question:
Who is the large man we get a glimpse of at the monastery at the end of volume five?
Why is there a warhorse in the monastery stable?
Who is this ser Strong who came out of nowhere and joined the Kingsguard?
Who would be his dramatically appropriate opponent in queen Cercei's trial by combat?

It would be just like Martin if this was just a smokescreen, of course. But then again, maybe not.

So I guess you haven't heard of this? http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/60808-the-gravedigging-hound-complete-analysis/ (book spoilers in the link)

(click to show/hide)

Also, Martin only seems to kill people off if you explicitly witness their death first hand as the reader, he leaves The Hound's "death" open ended and left to our imagination. This probably means that he may still be alive, the same can probably be said of his brother who people believe to be Robert Strong from the second Dance of Dragons book.

As awesome as that would be, the Quiet Isle is supposed to be a place of seclusion, the Elder Brother keeps the happenings of Westeros secret so as not to disturb them. Even if the Gravedigger is who we think he is, it's very unlikely they'd send one of their own all the way to King's Landing for anything.
