Mercator @ 9/5/2016 0:42 Is it Rickon though? It's definitely the same actor if that's what you're asking

oh, I just haven't seen him in years.

but the Hound was mentioned, Gregor named, and the trial by combat...................

I was hoping to see something more of Euron and co, but oh well...

RIP Skagos... :(

lol Olly.

I Cheered almost as much as I did when Joffrey died.

I was spoiled that Olly died and it was apparently very enjoyable and deserved. This might be the thing that pushes me to watch everything I've missed.

I felt far happier seeing Olly die than Joffrey tbh. Joff was a shit but he was possibly the most entertaining character the show's ever had, so it was pretty BITTERSWEET

Is it bad that I felt more sorry for Thorne than I did for Olly? Cuz I did

Lol @ D&D cutting out anything that had to do with the Blackfyre rebellion. There is literally not even a trace of it anywhere. They even altered Bloodraven's past just so they could distance themselves from it.

That kind of explains why Young Griff, Jon Connington and Arianne Martell were cut from the show.

But it's funny how apparent it is.

I always thought Blackfyre would play a key role in the series but I guess not

That Tower of Joy fight scene was a bit weird.

Didnt Ned always say he killed Dayne, why would he do that if it was Howland? (That last swing hardly counts as the killing blow). Also seems kinda unrealistic that the best fighter in the history of Westeros would not be a bit more aware of his surroundings, and allow a injured, probably noisy, guy sneak up behind him and stab him in then neck!

I was kinda hoping for some of those theories to be true. Ill put them in spoiler tags

Spoiler

+

1. Dayne didnt die, Howland and Ned made a deal with him (Ned says "They came into the room" or something like that when he was with his sister, who are "they" if Howland is just alive?) (Dayne makes the deal because all of his kingsguard friends are dead and he cant kill everyone that arrives at the tower) They then faked his death, took his sword as proof and he lives in exile now. 2. Howland was killed and warged Dayne before he died and is currently using his body. Thats why no one has seen Howland for a long time. 3. Howland and Ned beat Dayne because Howland uses a different fighting style (nets, poison, pitchforks(?)) which Dayne had never fought before, thats how they beat him.

Oh well!

They also missed out on one of my favourite quotes!

Yeah, Crannogmen are trained in gorilla warfare, no way he'd have fought the best swordsman ever straight.
