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

    • Almost.

      • 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.

                        • Poison works at the speed of plot.

                          • Maybe Myrcella wetted her lips, at one time after the kiss, so that the poison got into her saliva (and through her oral mucosa quickly into the bloodstream) whereas Ellaria (for good reasons) refrained from doing so, with the result that the uptake of the poison into the bloodstream happened much slower.

                            But is it 100% sure that Myrcella is doomed?
                            Maybe there is some antidote on the ship ... for what reasons ever.

                            After all Myrcella is no Stark, which means there still may be hope for her survival

                            • I'll go 100% on Myrcella, only because if she lives that whole story line was totally worthless.

                              • I'm guessing the "story" is going to be that Ellaria has experimented with poison so much that she's built up a little bit of immunity, which slows down how it works on her.
