Definitely some changes/liberties taken there....perhaps trying to drag out the bran storyline some?

Yeah that last scene was awesome, great to get more stuff from non-POV characters

Oh and they have to spice up Brans story somehow, I wonder how they'll get Jon to let Bran go after he gets rescued

OK, WTF? The show producers are straight up trying to spoil the books. Did not like the Bran story change.

I'm a fan of the bran change. Let's face it, his story has virtually nothing in it after he gets north of the wall and until he meets bloodraven.

Though i was hoping he'd warg into hodor and fight off the mutineers

If Im understanding this right: a wight is a reanimated human but an Other is a living human turned to evil.


This breaks the idea that the Others are an entirely different type of being like CotF or Giants.

I wonder who that darth maul mother****er was? The Great Other? And were they in the land of always winter?

We know David and Dan have been told the rest of the story, looks like book readers may have gotten spoiled by the show

Hell yeah we just got spoiled. I knew it would happen but not this effing early. He's not going to finish the books is he?

The show is going to finish before martin's books. Spoiling is inevitable.

It's kinda fun to be in the non-readers' camp now and not knowing what's gonna happen

Edited bc I get what you're saying now. Thought you didn't realize there was a difference and I know you know the books way better than I do! Carry on!

Well it looked like an alter. IDK how the Other got from Caster's Keep (fairly close to the Wall) all the way out there in less than a month presumably. If they can move that fast, why is it taking them months to make it to the Wall?

Not to be Debbie Downer here, but if Jon Snow and company are 60 miles from Craster's, Meera is going to be bloodied and really, really messed up by the time they get there to rescue her.

Also, Vargo Hoat is Count Rugen from Princess Bride.





Also loved Margarey sneaking into Tommen's chambers, and Tommen's reaction.

Not the same person, Muck. That's Christopher Guest in Princess Bride.

The guy from GoT has been in a ton of stuff though. The dad in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, "Tech Support" from Vanilla Sky, the manager of Stillwater in Almost Famous...

Wasn't there someone called the Night's King in the books? Also, it wasn't the land of always winter, it was goddam Minas Morgul.

So, now we have:
Lorch at the wall
Jon with knowledge Bran is alive
Bran and crew captured and
White Walkers making themselves out of human babies.

I agree with the "how will Jon be convinced to let Bran continue" and I'll add "how will Lorch allow it (or get away to tell Bolton?)"

They are straying from the books a LOT at the moment. Also, lol to the poor saps that think Dany is going to be headed to King's Landing soon after watching that preview clip.

absolute BS, what's happening to the Bran group. Hopefully Coldhands kills every last mfer in the keep, would be a kickass entrance.

Also if anyone hasn't seen, the titles for the last episodes have been released along with their runtimes. The last one is interesting,

4.02 The Lion and the Rose (53 minutes)
4.03 Breaker of Chains (57 minutes)
4.04 Oathkeeper (56 minutes)
4.05 First of His Name (54 minutes)
4.06 The Laws of Gods and Men (51 minutes)
4.07 Mockingbird (52 minutes)
4.08 The Mountain and the Viper (53 minutes)
4.09 The Watchers on the Wall (51 minutes)
4.10 The Children (66 minutes)

I like the change.

Also, I can't be the only one who assumed that the rider in the snow was Coldhands. I think that's who will end up rescuing Bran and company, and they'll be gone before Jon shows up.

What rider? The one that took the baby?
AggieSouth06
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah I assumed that it was until it became clear that it was a WW. Not saying I am continuing to think it was Coldhands.

Also, how is Jon going to lead defense of the wall with Thorne involved?

Just looked it up, guess who kills the mutineers in the books.

http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Mutiny_at_Craster%27s_Keep

Remember that Coldhands is a man of the night's watch, I bet we see some Rambo type rescue.

I don't think he's a wight that the others made, but rather the bloodraven
redline248

The preview clip shows Jon fighting people, so unless Coldhands gets there first and leaves some alive, he ain't coming to the rescue, imo.

Anyone else disappointed that the episode title "breaker of chains" wasnt saved for the must happen scene when greatjon umber escapes and starts killing frey's?

The umber family crest is a giant breaking its chains.

Did anyone else find it interesting when Tyrion stated "Sansa's not a killer. Not yet anyway." Sounds like some definite foreshadowing.
