billw55 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Any thoughts on whether we'll see Jon Snow again? I'm betting we will if only because the strange suddenness of his demise only makes sense if viewed as something they squeezed in as a setup for his eventual return.Since when does a sudden demise on GOT need to make sense?

y66 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I suppose you can make the case that the thousand or so sudden demises that preceded Jon Snow's have become so routine that they had to up the ante for the next one to have any impact. But Jon Snow? With the White Walkers on the move? That's just giving up too many options for moving the story along imo. I mean, one more episode with Jon Snow could almost redeem all those Sand Snake scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vampyr Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I think that melisandre will heal Jon Snow, or bring him back to life if necessary, and he will say " fu ck the wall"', and go take Winterfell with the Wildlings' help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Why would Melisandre give two sh**ts about the dead bastard? While Ramsay is the most hated character, Melisandre is clearly the most annoying. I hope she turns herself into a bat or something. Sunday at 9:00 PM won't come soon enough. Watching the season of Vinyl just to reserve the tube will hopefully be worth it. Here's hoping Season 6>Season 5 (although that's not saying much).

Vampyr Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I was devastated when they killed off Jon, but somehow I am disappointed that they brought him back. It seems kind of cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vampyr Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 If you swear an oath and then you die and then you come back to life, is the oath still binding? I shouldn't have thought so. In any case, it's a very different world from the first season, when Ned Stark executed a Night's Watch deserter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing well so far! Show spoilers below I think everyone who watches the show is able to predict at this point who Jon's parents are, who will win the BastardBowl at Winterfell with ex machina assist from Littlefinger! and who will fight Robert Strong on the Faith's side Grave Digger The Septon Meribald speech about war is one of my favorite passages in the books.

jjbrr Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Meribald's speech. No spoilers “Ser? My lady?” said Podrick. “Is a broken man an outlaw?” “More or less,” Brienne answered. Septon Meribald disagreed. “More less than more. There are many sorts of outlaws, just as there are many sorts of birds. A sandpiper and a sea eagle both have wings, but they are not the same. The singers love to sing of good men forced to go outside the law to fight some wicked lord, but most outlaws are more like this ravening Hound than they are the lightning lord. They are evil men, driven by greed, soured by malice, despising the gods and caring only for themselves. Broken men are more deserving of our pity, though they may be just as dangerous. Almost all are common-born, simple folk who had never been more than a mile from the house where they were born until the day some lord came round to take them off to war. Poorly shod and poorly clad, they march away beneath his banners, ofttimes with no better arms than a sickle or a sharpened hoe, or a maul they made themselves by lashing a stone to a stick with strips of hide. Brothers march with brothers, sons with fathers, friends with friends. They’ve heard the songs and stories, so they go off with eager hearts, dreaming of the wonders they will see, of the wealth and glory they will win. War seems a fine adventure, the greatest most of them will ever know. “Then they get a taste of battle. “For some, that one taste is enough to break them. Others go on for years, until they lose count of all the battles they have fought in, but even a man who has survived a hundred fights can break in his hundred-and-first. Brothers watch their brothers die, fathers lose their sons, friends see their friends trying to hold their entrails in after they’ve been gutted by an axe. “They see the lord who led them there cut down, and some other lord shouts that they are his now. They take a wound, and when that’s still half-healed they take another. There is never enough to eat, their shoes fall to pieces from the marching, their clothes are torn and rotting, and half of them are shitting in their breeches from drinking bad water. “If they want new boots or a warmer cloak or maybe a rusted iron halfhelm, they need to take them from a corpse, and before long they are stealing from the living too, from the smallfolk whose lands they’re fighting in, men very like the men they used to be. They slaughter their sheep and steal their chickens, and from there it’s just a short step to carrying off their daughters too. And one day they look around and realize all their friends and kin are gone, that they are fighting beside strangers beneath a banner that they hardly recognize. They don’t know where they are or how to get back home and the lord they’re fighting for does not know their names, yet here he comes, shouting for them to form up, to make a line with their spears and scythes and sharpened hoes, to stand their ground. And the knights come down on them, faceless men clad all in steel, and the iron thunder of their charge seems to fill the world… “And the man breaks. “He turns and runs, or crawls off afterward over the corpses of the slain, or steals away in the black of night, and he finds someplace to hide. All thought of home is gone by then, and kings and lords and gods mean less to him than a haunch of spoiled meat that will let him live another day, or a skin of bad wine that might drown his fear for a few hours. The broken man lives from day to day, from meal to meal, more beast than man. Lady Brienne is not wrong. In times like these, the traveler must beware of broken men, and fear them…but he should pity them as well.” When Meribald was finished a profound silence fell upon their little band. Brienne could hear the wind rustling through a clump of pussywillows, and farther off the faint cry of a loon. She could hear Dog panting softly as he loped along beside the septon and his donkey, tongue lolling from his mouth. The quiet stretched and stretched, until finally she said, “How old were you when they marched you off to war?” “Why, no older than your boy,” Meribald replied. “Too young for such, in truth, but my brothers were all going, and I would not be left behind. Willam said I could be his squire, though Will was no knight, only a potboy armed with a kitchen knife he’d stolen from the inn. He died upon the Stepstones, and never struck a blow. It was fever did for him, and for my brother Robin. Owen died from a mace that split his head apart, and his friend Jon Pox was hanged for rape.” “The War of the Ninepenny Kings?” asked Hyle Hunt. “So they called it, though I never saw a king, nor earned a penny. It was a war, though. That it was.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjbrr Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 "I could tell you the story about Brandon the Builder," Old Nan said. "That was always your favorite." Thousands and thousands of years ago, Brandon the Builder had raised Winterfell, and some said the Wall. Bran knew the story, but it had never been his favorite. Maybe one of the other Brandons had liked that story. Sometimes Nan would talk to him as if he were her Brandon, the baby she had nursed all those years ago, and sometimes she confused him with his uncle Brandon, who was killed by the Mad King before Bran was even born. She had lived so long, Mother had told him once, that all the Brandon Starks had become one person in her head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyams Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 It's a minor feature within a complex storyline, but the back-story for the phrase "Hodor" was really impressive!!Given the character has been using the phrase repeatedly since the start of Game of Thrones, that's some helluva foresight!

I wonder if Nymeria is going to find Bran -- otherwise who will he warg into? I think it's disappointing that the main function of the direwolves is to get killed. Three of them played no roll except to get murdered. I thought they were going to be important; they seemed like a Chekhov's gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Hi there! Just caught up! I started watching from Season 1 just a few days before the premiere of Season 6. Finally I can go to the Game of Thrones wiki and look up obscure characters without having to try to ignore the 'status' entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adds a bunch of pathos to the character. Seems to me that he had a precog "vision" during the seizure -- how else 'hold the door'? -- so we might assume that all along he has known his death.

On the other hand, there are few characters who have not committed multiple murders, and many of them are dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Watched S6 over the last 4 days. I thought that Jon might end up coming back as a Zombie.... as he was the last of the Starks but on the whole a good effort with kudos for the Hodor and Sandor Cleghain story lines.
