He was a king, he shouldn't have been marrying some commoner nurse girl anyway. That's an obvious hit and quit.
For me:I'm stuck with who to root for now. The Starks seem dimished to the point of never being a formidable opponent to the Lannisters - although we know that will likely change. Stannis is a jerk. Not a big fan of Khaleesi character.
I guess I am rooting for Jamie - presuming he's turned a new leaf.
Speaking of Littlefinger, I wonder how he'll react to the Red Wedding given his love for Kat. He's always played both sides to best suit himself. I wonder if the knowledge that the Lannisters arranged Kat's murder will have him focusing his covert affairs on hurting the Lannisters even if it's not in his best interest.not sure how much I am 'cheering' for him, but in a sadistic way I am rooting a bit for Littlefinger. I have grown to really like that shady little *******.
He's also marrying Cats sister...she's a loon...but how will she feel about a family who she thought was an ally butchering her sister and nephew?Will LF have any sort of Army with that marriage?Speaking of Littlefinger, I wonder how he'll react to the Red Wedding given his love for Kat.

I rewatched as well - and to me there was no indication he was chasing that hawk. They never clearly showed he was going off in the same direction. And wouldn't that be a dumb chase anyways?Gotta remember that Mance and Jon are now separated by a 800ft ice wall. Probably doesn't have time to climb back over and get to Mance (or have the ability to do so alone).Maybe he's planning on sticking with the "fight from the inside" thing and making up a story that they were ambushed and only him and Ygritte survived.tell Mance on him?I did get the impression that Jon was chasing after the hawk. Why, I don't know. Maybe he was worried it was still the Warg guy and he was going to tell Mance on him?
EIther way, pretty F'd up to ride away when his girl was still there. Then again, he did push her over to start the fight so he's not exactly a gentleman.
what does Snow care about Mance, he has already deserted them.
If the idea was that he was still outnumbered and was running from the fight (without his girl) then they did a poor job of showing that. It looked like Red Beard was the only wildling still in the fight.
ETA: Just watched again. There's no one else other than Red Beard and Ygritte and he watches the hawk fly away and then rides in the direction it does.
Great speech bro, but since you read the books apparently, you dont belong here. There are friggin two other threads for you.Here's my thought
I have circles of friends with all manner of experience in this awesome fictional world, some have read the books, some only watch the shows, some are behind on the books, some are behiond on the shows
Real life, chat, facebook, twitter, this is the only place i have seen the readers vs viewers feud.
readers generally don't want to spoil things for viewers, viewers generally tend to appreciate it when a reader gives them info the show may have glossed over
EVERYWHERE but here this show and these books bring people together as something they have in common
how the #### can this place get it so backwards?
I assume now the responses will be finger pointing and feuding and name calling
you should all look inside though, something is horribly wrong with the people in this place that a fictional work that we all love can somehow divide us rather than unite us
It is a shame, I am ashamed and each of you should be as well
I was going to make a Song of Ice and Fire type statement here to illustrate my point, but if i pull information from unapproved sources i'll become part of the problem, so it is safer to just not bring GoT into this post at all, this post in a GoT thread by someone who loves the show and the books
think about how sad that is
My friends across communication methods look forward to hearing from people experiencing this for the first time in any medium, we relish bringing others into our nerdy obsession. I expect dooshbaggery and division in politics and religion threads, I sincerely would have thought this could be a topic that would be immune from that
silly me
I should just shun the lot of you and take the black.

Do you take notes or something when you watch this show?Yes he will, the Vale has remained neutral during the war of 5 kings.
assuming he does marry her, he will get the lands armies.

mance rayder is the king beyond the wall. He has nt much of a roll yet.um who is mance?
i thought he did it by accident....yes the young one is going to castle black to be "reunited", bran is going with the other peeps (cant remember at the moment).. oh and hodorI'm still not buying that Jon knocked Ygritte out of the way for her own good. I didn't get a chance to rewatch yet but why was the wilding girl taking the youngest Stark kid away? For his own safety?
I thought that was so they wouldnt have all the Stark eggs (literally) in one basket, now they would have to capture both Bran and Rickon to kill them off, not just catching them together.I'm still not buying that Jon knocked Ygritte out of the way for her own good.

I'll take 10 bucks on all of these.At this point I think a proper Vegas style Death odds for remaining characters are in order. I will take a stab at it, the death has to occur before the final season, whenever that will be since i figure everyone will likely be killed by the final season except for the lone Throne holder, just my opinion.
Tyrion + 500
Joffrey - 1000
Jamie +300
Cersei -200
Tywin -300
Kaleeshi- +2000
Arya + 3000
Sansa +800
Jon Snow+ 500
Sam +500
Yigrette+200
Stannis -200
Mellisandre +700
Bran +10000
Not sure about the rest. Which bets you guys taking if this was offered and you had no knowledge of books? I would obviously bet the house on Joffrey being killed and on Tywin being killed. Those two have to go IMO, too many things going in their favor now, the tide has to turn.
just stark bannerman, which that this point im not sureif that means anything anymoreReunited with Jon at the wall?i thought he did it by accident....yes the young one is going to castle black to be "reunited", bran is going with the other peeps (cant remember at the moment).. oh and hodorI'm still not buying that Jon knocked Ygritte out of the way for her own good.

but this is more fun than getting the actual answer from someone that read, and knowsYou guys are all over the map on this wilding/jon/firecrotch scene. The only thing that was odd was they had 20 or so coming to the farm, but only showed the wolves taking out 3 or 4 of them then all of a sudden it's Jon and Y left alone there. That wasn't handled great. On rewatch the crow was nothing. Coincidence, or if anything to save having to do a second shot. WTF, a horse chase down a bird? He was running to the wall to warn the rest of the watch and ditched Y for his honor. That's it. Y is left with nothing now. Literally, and the wildling plan may be in shambles already imo.
I wish the show fast forwards 30 years and has FireCrotch son with Snow leading the Wildings and Sam and Gilly's son leading the Nights Watch.

Not following.

ok, that makes sense. I'll check it out again on rewatch. Too much to talk about at that moment with the whole Jon/Ygritte thing.I thought that was so they wouldnt have all the Stark eggs (literally) in one basket, now they would have to capture both Bran and Rickon to kill them off, not just catching them together.I'm still not buying that Jon knocked Ygritte out of the way for her own good.

I caught this during the episode and one thing to keep in mind is that Joffrey is Not a Baratheon so the curse/spell might not have an effect on him.So in episide 8, the Red Witch took the leeches filled with King's Blood and burnt it while Stannis spoke three names: the Usurper Robb Stark, the usurper Daddy Greyjoy and the usurper Joffrey Baratheon. One episode later and the first name mentioned is dead. Coincidence? Will Daddy Greyjoy die next? Joffrey too?
there were 8 horses, old man took off when jon warned him by making the horses crazy when he hit his sword on the rock.that means 7 of them had to ride ro catch up to him at the towerNot following.

When they came upon the guy who gave horses to the watch, there were 8 horses. The old man took one, I assume the wildlings, plus Snow, took the other 7. They chased the guy down, most likely leaving the other 20 wildlings, who were on foot, behind.Not following.

Well, you know that Bran is. Don't think they have shown anything with Jon regarding that yet, though.Is John Snow a warg too?
I've seen it on the banner of the men that captured Jamie and Brienne and also this past week on the war board with all the chess-like pieces when Robb and his mother were making plans.Was listening to the Grantland Pop Culture podcast, and the two dudes (both non-book readers) mentioned something, i will put it in spoiler, though its not really a spoiler.
They said they thought that the Theon torturer was for sure Bolton's son since something about an X was featured in the Theon scenes and apparently the X is their sign or whatever. Does anyone know anything about the X, i dont recall it from watching the episodes or it having any connection to Bolton.

I wish. I hate her character, and the way she always calls him "Jon Snurr".Wasn't it an eagle?You guys are all over the map on this wilding/jon/firecrotch scene.

and I agree, I think Jon was done with Ygritte and might have even hoped she would be killed in the process.
I find it funny that in a world filled with dragons, Smoke monster babies, Wargs that someone having knowledge of their fetus' gender is a red flag.Why did Robb ask his wife if she was having a boy or a girl?
How would she know?
He was just asking what she thought/felt it would be. Not uncommon, even now.jamny said:Why did Robb ask his wife if she was having a boy or a girl?
