A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

I didn't like how they just digged out a new guy never heard before to avoid Theon or Asha getting to rule the Iron Islands.

I mean -- it's season 5 now. Maybe they introduce a new character who finally gets to rule Westeros in the very last episode ...

In case anyone missed it, I was just ranting about the implausibility of Yara and Theon managing to sneak off, summon up hundreds of loyal crew, mobilise a fleet, catch a tide and sail out to sea before anyone noticed or thought about trying to stop them.

Yeah, that part is dumb which is why the book was better at that detail. In the book her uncle wants to force her to marry him to strengthen his claim to the throne so she has time before the wedding to sneak off with one ship and a few loyal men but not more. Theon is still held by the Boltons but is convinced to help Jane Poole who the Boltons were pretending was Sansa. The real Sansa was still in the Vale and never married to Ramsey. Theon was trying to make up for his mistakes and save Jane to get back at Ramsey for torturing him and when last we saw him he had run to Stannis's camp who had defeated Yara and the force of last ironborn stationed on the Stoney Shore so that is how brother and sister are reunited as prisoners of Stannis.

An interesting theory.

now we know he the white walkers came about

That is a good question. Truthfully, how the white walkers worm has never been explained. From the last episode of the TV show we see one of the others some how reanimated the dead as white walkers but in the books it is never explained beyond that it is something the others do.

[pchang]

Well, once the bosses are frozen in place, will the zombies do anything or will they just stand around?

[Dinner]

The zombies don't freeze anything just the others.

[pchang]

Figured the ice zombies would freeze the water they walked into, trapping themselves beneath the sea and getting precisely nowhere.

I could see a cool visual for defeating them with a bucket brigade. Splash them with water and freeze them in place.

[rah]

It had to be something. They didn't seem to have any problems jumping, en mass, off a cliff, but a little water stopped them.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

My money's on them fizzing furiously and dissolving like an Alka-Seltzer.

Well, in the last chapter of the latest book Jon sent some black watch guys on ships to Hardhome from East Watch by the Sea using the Night's Watch ships and the three ships borrowed from the Iron Bank of Bravos. He gets a crow back saying the wildlings won't get on the ships because they think they are slaves and that there are "dead things in the water". The red witch keeps telling him his fleet is lost and then Jon gets stabbed later that night after the whole talk of leading a wildling army to attack the Dreadfort and save fake Arya.
