Spoiler:

Watching the wall fall was awesome

Spoiler:

Just kidding. I've not seen it or read the plot - so this may or may not have been in the leaks

[Dinner]

I've already seen it. Twice.

So the spanish saw Episode 6 before getting the chance to see Episode 5?

Ouch

[BeBMan]

Now HBO is leaking their own stuff!

[rah]

I'm going to wait. And if anyone posts anything about it here, please specify in the spoiler where it's from so I don't mistakenly open it.

[Ming]

So HBO Spain ran episode 6 by mistake
It's all over the net now. I'm not sure if I want to watch it or just wait.

Also the prob with putting houses against eachother is now that they might run soon out of major houses...there were simply more of them earlier in the show

My 2 thoughts on this episode 5

Spoiler:

Ok, Cersei is pregnant, but the prophecy says she'll have 3 children, so either
a. She is lying
b. The baby will die before term
c. Cersei will die within 9 month
d. That baby is the Valonqar of the prophecy and the pregnancy will go bad. She might die while giving birth. And if that is the case, in order to continue the cycle, that baby might even be a dwarf.

What does Littlefinger do? He has never played members of the same family/house against each other. He always played different houses against each other. Why doesn't he try to divide the north, playing house vs house?
It's a lot harder to divide a house. Is he getting old? Too bold? Do I have to switch off part of my brain on this one?

Spoiler:

Regarding Cerseis pregnancy:
My tip till be C. Cersei will die before birth

Regarding Littlefinger:
Not totally true. He successfully persuaded Lysa Arryn to poison her husband Jon Arryn (i.e. Neds predecessor as Hand of the king)

The last episode was pretty cool IMO I can't believe they end it all in little more than one further season...what will we talk about then

Davos had all the good lines indeed.

Wow, that was a pretty stuffed episode. The main takeaway for me is that...

Spoiler:

...Tyrion is definitely a Targaryen.

And another similarity. Both their mothers died birthing them.

[Dinner]

Davos: "But why should anyone listen to me? All I have done is live to a ripe old age."

[Lorizael]

Also Davos continues to be excellent.

[rah]

I'm with you Lori. I was thinking the same thing.

Spoiler:

I wasn't sure I would find you here. Thought you might still be rowing

So, Samwell seems to be the last surviving member of the House Tarly now.
And looks like execution by fire was a good way to "convince" all remaining Lannister soldiers to bend their knees

Interesting games, Littlefinger plays with Arya ... seems like she might fall for his tricks (to sow seeds of discord between her and Sansa)
