      That was also where the books ended with Dany's story. The only part they left out was that it was the khalisar of her old has hubby's cousin, the guy who stole most of her hubby's khalisar after he fell off his horse, and left her to die (that was when she hatched the dragon eggs).

      Wouldn't it be funny if she kills him with dragan fire and takes control of the khalisar? That is what I am hoping for. After all several books back they made a big deal about saying a khal has to defeat all comers and who ever defeats him becomes the new khal.

        • So has the show caught up to the end of the books now?

            • Just wondering because as soon as Jon took it in the stomach, my wife looked up and asked if that was why the witch went back to castle black, to be on hand to resurrect him.

              • There are two major events that spring to mind (among the characters we've actually had on screen, at least) left to go, both moments of supreme badassery that I suspect will make the cut somehow–though likely not with all the original players involved. There is also one huge development with a character that's been on screen that should have showed up a long time ago, but that I've now pretty much given up hope on.

                Other than that, yeah, we're at or beyond the end of the books.

                    Mostly. There are a few storyline where it has passed the books, and a handful still slightly behind the books.

                      Honestly, it looks that way. In the books she, the queen, and the princess never left the castle so it seems clear the tv show brought her back for that reason. It seems the worst solution in my mind, using magic seems like a lazy way out, but plot wise it just might free John Snow from his Black Watch vows. After all the vows are only for life and he died.

                      • Melisandre IIRC was never able to revive someone ... that was the privilegue of her priest-colleague who accompanied the brothership without Banner (those who held Arya and the Smith captive for a short time in, IIRC, season 3)

                        • Yeah, I could see it freeing Jon from his vows.
                          And it was rumored that the other cast members did not give him the traditional gifts that they usually give to those that are done with the show.

                          And what's the over under on number of survivors from the castle leap?

                          • I'd say odds are excellent that both survived the jump. There's plenty more story for both Theon and Sansa.

                            There's gonna be a ****storm when Cercei learns about Myrcella, though. Ouch!

                            • I'm wondering why she waited so long to wipe her lips and take the antidote. Technically it must have been on her lips longer than on Myrcella's and Myrcella was already dead.

                              I would have been drinking the antidote a hell of a lot sooner.
