    I had to read up, but it looks like Rickon got left behind at a house loyal to the Starks -- House Umber. He hasn't been seen since last season.

    Indeed. I remember it because when Ramsey Snow tortured Theon he played that guessing game and asked "Where are we?". Theon answered Bay of Seals or something like that. Ramsey answered "Do i look like a fucking Umber to you?". From the way he said it, it sounded like Umber's has peculiar traits. So when Bran sent Rickon to the Umber's it stuck in my mind.

    Wow just saw the siege of King's Landing episode, pretty well done. Actually felt the fear and tension of battle. There were parts I didn't like, like Stannis leading the charge up the ladders with no helmet. For that matter, a lot of the primary characters didn't wear helmets in battle, which is Hollywood nonsense.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Mark Gatiss? In my Game of Thrones?

    Theon has the Stockholm Syndrome pretty bad.

    Oh shit @ Tyrion.

    Holy crap at Tyrion going mental. Shay really pushed him over the edge. Wonder who he will have champion him? Bronn? Jamie? Or maybe even Oberyn. Since Jamie has had his hand cut of they might bring in The Mountain to try and secure that death. If so Oberyn should be the perfect candidate. I love how they managed to get even Shay to lie and testify against Tyrion.

    BTW i got a stiffy when i saw that rising dragon taking the goats. And Daenery's got a glimps of what it is to rule. At least if you wanna be a caring ruler.

    So, Stanis (and the onion Knight) say that once tywion dies, there will be no legitimate power in kings' landing, because tonmen is young and there are no able men to take charge. But the situation will be the same if Stanis takes over. he's old, no male sons and he can't marry his daugther to anyone (she has that face thing), so if they chose to turn their alliance at stanis, they would be in the same problem, just ten years later and a whole lot of gold will be spent on the switch.

    edit: the old guy, not his short son. fixed.

    His argument was that Stanis is in his prime, with maybe 20 or more years left, and in that time he can have a son capable of ruling.

    I guess he is... but Stanis looks so old, I know robert was supposed to be in his late 30's, but they all seem so much older than that.
    my guess is that stanis is just 35-40. even though he looks like he's touching his sixties.
    and besides, stanis has been married for a long time, and still, no heirs.
    If I was one the iron bank clerks, I'd get suspicious.

    I'll admit that when I first read the books, it wasn't until the second book that the story moved towards magic (except Daenarys's dragons) and I wasn't happy with it. I was hoping for a pure kings and connivers story (which we got) not so much a wizards and witches theme. On film though, the story is much richer and fuller with the magic and fantasy elements.
    Looks like GRRM agreed with me about how much magic and fantasy was included in the Song story: http://teamcoco.com/video/george-r-r...ame-of-thrones

    Well now. As soon as it was reveled that The Mountain was gonna champion Cercei, i knew Oberyn was gonna champion Tyrion. And his speech gave me goosebumps. He is this seasons most interesting character. Baelish continues to impress as always.

    Oberyn is awesome. I hope they show the fight in full. GoT is notorious for skipping battles and only showing the aftermath.

    I imagine that's due to production budgets. Large scale battle scenes need a lot of extras, choreography, etc. I don't mind that they skip battles, they all start to look the same, and most of the actors don't appear particularly good at sword/axe/spear fighting anyway.

    Jamie looks particularly lame when sword fighting. It looks so... choreographed and fake. I hope this fight is nothing like that.

    Yeah, why do they keep changing actors, do they not have any form of contracts?

    Granted, it's noticeable but not super annoying for me since it's so long between each season, and so far it's not any of the actual "main" chars.

    I guess it's going to be a lot more noticeable/annoying for those people that prefer to save the show and then marathon it later... going from one ep straight to the next and some people suddenly look completely different, lol

    I understand the Daario change though. The previous actor would not have matched the current intelligent playboy image Daario has.

    I keep seeing actors/actresses from GoT appearing in other shows (and not just the dead characters). Considering some characters don't make an appearance except once every few episodes, I'd guess they take other work where their schedule doesn't allow them to appear on GoT. Or maybe they demand more money now that the show is a success, so they get the axe.

    it's both, I guess. did they finish filming before the season started, or are they still filming during it?
