Oh the irony!

Oh the irony!

I know. They're apparently unaware that (1) Ned's story does not end well; and (2) winter is not something to anticipate with excitement in Westeros.

And if we're playing A Song of College Football, ND is clearly Ned.

I think they care about:

1.) It looks cool and recruits will like it
2.) It's from a trendy show and recruits will like it
3.) See 1 and 2

I'll head over to his house after work and talk to him since he lives here.

I don't watch GOT, but I found this on reddit a while back and figure I'd share it with you all:

I'm predicting TWOW in Fall 2014 and ADOS in Winter 2016/Spring 2017. Just a hunch.

Congrats, the only thing worse than the Red Wedding, one of the most dramatic moments in TV history, is the reality of your ancestors' actions, violating guest rights and butchering a couple of kids.

Who has ancestors who haven't done something like this???... Cept when we Campbell's do it we make y'all famous

Nice video highlighting all the clues that were there for the Red Wedding in the show. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8JYC1QrF804?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Everyone's ancestors have slaughtered kids, ACamp. It is what it is. At least you're famous for it.

According to Tyrelle Pryor we are all robbers and murderers.

The Africans sold their rivals to the Muslims which kicked off the slave trade. I'd just like a half hour to educate Terrelle Pryor about some things...

That'd be an hour more than he got at OSU.

Rains of Castamere is the highest ranked episode on iMDB. Interesting. IMDb: IMDB's Top Rated Episodes - a list by mi286

It's tiiiiimmmeeee!!!!

Sandor Clegane is a f*cking bad*ss, might be my favorite character

I know what is going to happen (more than a month ago) but it was a lackluster ending for me...

Well its hard to top last weeks episode, but the Arya Stark scene along with Ygritte shooting Jon snow were pretty good scenes. I also like the heated Lanister conversation early in the show.

 

[peoriairish]

Somewhat anticlimactic, but still good.

Question for those who read the books (I don't want to go over to the book thread cause I don't want anything ruined for me). I'm halfway through the first book, and now me and my buddies are having a debate. Didn't they say who Jon's mother was very early in the 1st book? Or did I misread that?

Agree with all of this but I guess I was kind of hoping the third season would wind up like the third book.

I think someone speculated very vaguely at some point who his mother was (Catelyn Stark perhaps?) but I don't recall Jon's mother being named specifically.

Jon Snow's parentage remains a mystery, as Eddard rarely spoke of the matter. When Catelyn confronted him about the rumor that Jon's mother was Ashara Dayne, Eddard would not answer.[23] Years later, when queried by Robert, he claimed that a lowborn woman named Wylla is Snow's mother.[24] Both possibilities have been mentioned by outside sources. Cersei Lannister believes his mother to be Lady Dayne[25], while Edric Dayne, who was wet-nursed by Wylla, told Arya that he and Jon are milk-brothers.[26]
According to Lord Godric Borrell, the daughter of the fisherman who tried to take Ned Stark from the Vale across the Bite to the North at the beginning of Robert's Rebellion, gave birth to Eddard Stark's bastard.[27]
Fans of the series speculate about his parentage, with a large number believing that his true parentage is likely to be Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen. [28]

Jon is a bastard. Ned had him during Robert's Rebellion and brought him back to Winterfell. Ned never told him who his mother was. Ned famously said he'd tell the next time they saw each other when Jon left for the Wall.


This episode was a huge letdown. There were so many other things they could've used, even one of them, to make it a cliffhanger finale. So lackluster for me.

 

[IrishinTN]

totally agree. Very lame episode over all. If the season finale doesn't have me dying for the next season, it hasn't hit it's mark. This did not hit it's mark.

 

[Irish YJ]

Silly, but if they would have included the wedding murders during this episode, there would be no complaining.

I do agree though, I think they could have set up a cliffhanger. But,,,, pretty good stuff with Rob/Ygritte, Sandor/Arya, all the Lanisters had moments. Theon's scene was pretty hard to watch. Starting to like a lot of characters I didn't care all that much about. Yara in particular.



Can't wait till the next season already. Haven't read the books, but planning to pick them up before my next vacation.

 

[GATTACA!]

Blahh such a lame ending to an otherwise great season.

I get killed every time I say this but they need to cut the budget per episode, and give us 15 episodes a season. 10 simply is not enough time to get through everything. I dont care if I only get to see dragons or direwoves every other episode I want more content!

 

[Corry]

That would be crazy. Lyanna is Ned's sister?

Read A Game of Thrones, all the Ned chapters if you want information on Lyanna. Ned's older brother Brandon was killed by the Mad King when he went to save Rickard, their father. Ned then became the Lord of Winterfell and after that Rhaegar kidnapped Lyanna. The Stormlands, The North, The Eyrie, and The Riverlands revolted after Aerys "The Mad King" tried to have Jon Arryn hand over Robert and Ned.

IIRC, Ned has a conversation with Robert Baratheon where Robert mentions that Ned had previously told him it was a woman named Wylla (or something like that).
