Rewatched

Really iPhone?!

If I was the spy I sure as hell wouldn’t tell Jamie that I had been caught. What kind of spy gets caught? A bad one. What do you do with a bad spy? Kill him.

---

Then the rest of your spies say “F that.. I’m not going to risk getting caught. I’m just gonna just go fishing and come back and say I counted between 10K-30K” In reality, spies get/got caught all the time.

quote:

---

I would go back to Jamie and say that not only do I have a solid count of the soldiers but I was able to gather intel on their strategy without getting caught. That makes him look like a super spy and earns him points with the new Hand of the King…

---

Then when the new Hand of the King will wonder “how the hell did he get all of that without getting caught?” Then when he figures out their super spy was not only wrong about the count, but wrong about the strategy, that king will assume he’s a double agent and will kill his ass in an exceedingly painful way.

then why don't you tell us why he did it

I haven't read the books or anything, but I think the author got a little simpleton on this one part. If I had to bet on the outcome in the story, I'd bet that they go take the bridge and enemy is surprised about that. But I think a real enemy wouldn't be fooled.

Pretty sure there's a scene in The Princes Bride that would absolutely blow your mind atmag

We'll see. If it happens like I think I would, then that's one thing that could have been done better. No big deal. The show is still great.

So you're hung up on the authenticity of this but white walkers, a guy coming back from being dead that only dies by fire and a girl that carries dragon eggs you're cool with?

Haha. Nice, Tennerman.

Its nothing to do with authenticity. On average the dudes on this show seem smart. So its inconsistent for them to be dumb in this instance.

You know stupid Ned Stark has grown into a meme right?

Or are you talking about the men in the show in reference to Viserys Targaryen?

Perhaps you are refering to King Robert?

Smart enough to know that if you straight up tell some spy some false info and then send him home, then the enemy won't believe him.

For example, in WWII the British planted one of their own dead (maybe killed) generals in a car crash with a bunch of falsified documents. Sure enough the Germans believed what they found in those documents (and Rommel lost because of it). If they had just handed a spy those documents, then the Germans wouldn't have believed it.

Seriously...this type of crap drives me nuts reading these threads. Most people are throwing out fun theories....commenting on episodes...wondering what's going to happen. Then comes along the guy that can't handle one little mistake, or inplausible situation. "THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN!!! HOW STUPID WAS THAT GUY?!?! THAT RUINS EVERYTHING!!!"

Why don't we just let this thing play out and see how it ends. If you look back and say, "Well....that was a dumb decision" then so be it. But why do you have to hijack the thread with this stuff. Just enjoy it for what it is and be entertained.

Well Tywin thinks Robb is a stupid kid. The stupid kid sends the spy back with a message that "I'm coming for ya and hell's coming with me". Tywin already thought Robb is going to rush into battle and now he has proof. Tywin's believing it because he's an arrogant basturd and Robb rushing in for glory because he's a green boy. I don't see how this is not plausible.

I think it should be mandatory that shows like this have a 2 hour season finale.

****'s a-gonna get epic.

**** just got real.

As always, the lesson of this episode: pacifists tend not to have balls, and listening to their advice nearly always leads to bad things.

Hell yes.

Holy ****!!! Sean Bean can't catch a break. Has he ever had a role where he survives to the end? Was not expecting that at all. Obviously they are following the books but the biggest name actor they had on this series is now gone. Wow. If I was Robb I would cut Jaime apart piece by piece until I had my sisters back.

Most would settle for just one of the sisters; the good one.

Eff Sansa.

Wow, just wow, great episode, yet kinda sad... next week is gonna be awesome, though, I'm not ready to wait a year for the next season, will probably read the books!

Sean Bean starred as the lead in the Richard Sharpe series based on the books by Bernard Cornwell, he survived that role but he does seem to perish in just about every other role.

Damn..... I just got into this series and already it is time for the season finale.

He survived all the way to the end of Goldeneye.

The movie AND the video game.

Wow, never thought the kid would kill him without his mother/aunts say so.

Trade the best swordsman in Westeros and the only decent leverage against Tywin and Cersei for two teenage girls? Not exactly a fair trade, nor a good way to keep your bannermen happy with your leadership.

That's why I said chop him up. My first order would be to cut off his thumbs so his sword wielding days were over. Probably would blind him too. A little rough but I'd have no problem with it after what happened to Ned. I'd also start sending ravens to every part of the seven kingdoms telling of the incest boy king. Even if some didnt believe it the rumors would start, undermine Joffreys power, and possibly kick up a ****storm of infighting between the Lannisters. No rules in a war like this.

Good stuff

This show is freakin awesome! The characters, the dialogue, the betrayal and the twisting of this story. I'm really enjoying this a lot. But daggum it's going to stink to wait a whole year for season 2. I'm not too shocked about Nedd's death. You can't have a HBO show without some death.
The scenes that stood out were Snow discussing his oath with the old blind man. Ned's wife bargaining with the old man to let them pass. And the Imps sad love story.
Drago's future is not looking good and I bet there will be the death of Drago to have the birth of the dragon baby. Which it sounds like that baby is going to be birthed in the Hell Tent with horse blood and witch woman.
I cannot wait for the day Joffrey gets whats coming to him...

They unknowingly created a warrior in Arya. She has now taken a life and been privy to all of the backstabbing first hand. It will take a few years for her to gorw, but when she does, Hell is coming with her.

I hope Peter Dinklage wins an award for this. He has been great.

I bet Joffrey and the Queen wish they knew that Robb had Jamie. His life is about to suck.

I cant wait to see what happens with Kahl Drago, the baby and the witch.

Kinda lame Drogo is gonna get knocked out from a small scratch like that even after having the wound cleaned. Know that kind of stuff happened all the time in ancient times but come on. Wish he would go out fighting. Lucky this show has a lot of great characters because good ones are starting to drop all over the place.
