This is true, but they did give us an indication that Sam's brain was paying enough attention that he used the correct number of steps in the citadel in his little tirade. So, maybe his recall will kick in the next time he hears the words Rhaegar or annulment.
But it's all downhill after you get past the wall. Much quicker marching pace.
Ghost is at Winterfell. Getting him to Eastwatch would have required some sort of teleporter or something. Preposterous.
I don't think they do the raven thing anymore.
Jon received a Raven from the MoD while at Winterfell, as well as from his Measter-in-training. There were definately Ravens at the wall.
Yea, say that in the other thread and they run a Night King lance through you.
I think D&D are going to announce they aren't filming the last season under the books are done, then will watch with glee as a large corner of the internet incinerates itself.
Haven't read Cameron... his series is on my to read list though.
I just read the 1st two of the kingkiller chronicle. Very good storytelling, though I found the 1st book to be somewhat better than the second. I give these guys credit for building such interesting characters and worlds, it doesn't surprise me that they run into difficulties formalizing things once the stories get going. Keeping things consistent yet interesting, varied and well written must be very tricky (and tedious).
Depends on where they were born - Had Aegon been a *******, he would have been a Sand.
I thought about that last night too. Shouldn't his name always have been Sand. Ned never told people he was born in the north, he brought him back after the war.
Come on, we can have at least one thread where people can ask questions.I'd rather focus on how awesome the episode was.
If Jon is Neds *******, he's a Snow, same with other families/houses except the Targs. I looked it up some time ago. Its confusing, but the Targs don't really have a ******* name so use birthplace. (I think)
Gotcha. So all of Robert's bastards would have the same last name no matter where they were born.
I'm hoping that this season was to get all the chess pieces in place and that GRRM is more descriptive with how the rest of the show must finish up and thus less chance for D and D to go crazy with the story.
I think it depends if he acknowledges them.
Edrick Storm is an acknowledged ******* but Mya Stone is not.
I guess that is probably where my confusion was - I thought she was Stone just because she was born in the Vale. Never really thought about the Sand/Snow name with Jon for whatever reason.I think it depends if he acknowledges them.
Not entirely clear that is a legit Aegon in the books. But, Rhaegar does seem to have two sons named Aegon.
He'll probably get to that a little quicker now. They might be able to block his powers though. They sent all those ravens away with a glance. Maybe we'll get a legit origin story on the main guy through Bran.
It makes the whole thing with Martells even more tragic. They weren't even legitimate heirs and she wasn't his wife when the Lannisters massacred them. I wonder if Elia knew about the annulment and/or all Rheagar's visions/plans.
Asking for any kind of additional writing other than the final two books is just wishful thinking at its worst......but I really hope that (when/if he's done the final two) Martin has enough left in the tank to give us a novella in the form of a Littelfinger diary or POV or something.
They were married in Dorne though right? Are there any of them that far south? I thought in the books they said the only remaining ones were well north. That the farther south you go, the rarer they were. And they were married by a Maester? Seems sort of like getting hitched at the court house to me, no? Maybe religion wasn't part of it. They just wanted to make it legal before they got down to business.
Right. My point being - there was no weirwood there, yet Bran could see what happened there. My initial understanding of his capabilities was that there needed to be a wierwood present for the 3 eyed raven to see stuff near the tree, and anything that didn't happen in proximity to a tree wasn't available for viewing. But this would be (another?) example that that's not the case - Bran can see anything anywhere that's happened in the past or is happening in the present. It would make him ridiculously powerful (like he said, he knows everything), in a narrative destabilizing kind of way - basically the same problem I had with the whole Hodor deal.
