also, they've cut the Lord Manderly plot line but they still killed Wendel Manderly at the Red Wedding. the Umbers and Manderleys are true to the Starks yet Ramsay counts them among his contingent.

Have they? Check those casting calls for S6.

Even without looking at casting calls, I know they have mentioned the Manderley's a few times, and they don't do things like that for no reason. Looking forward to the "The North Remembers" scenes.

Yea I've seen that too, and it's definitely interesting. I feel like it isn't likely, but it wouldn't upset me for it to be true. I think at some point there are enough hidden family ties, haha.

sweet. i had not looked. this actually lends more credence to the theory this is a plan by the northern families. it's just moving via a different route than the books.

Keep Roose's comments just before being killed re being smart about your moves. Could Ramsay's blind blood lust be his ultimate downfall, as foreseen by the father he murdered?

I liked the TOJ fight scene. Dayne looked way more skilled wielding two swords, and had he only used 1 against 6 guys, I'm sure people would gripe about how ridiculous it was. The fact that Dayne was able to skillfully use 2 swords proved how badass he was.

Also I've noticed all the wiki pages say that Ser Hightower was the one with Dayne in the episode. I can't remember, but is there anything in the episode that specifically states it is Whent with Dayne who gets killed??

Bran has a vision of the past again. He and the three-eyed raven are at the Tower of Joy in Dorne, shortly after the end of Robert's Rebellion. The last two of the Targaryen Kingsguard stand before the Tower and block their way of a small party of Northmen led by Ned himself. The three-eyed raven identified Ned's second-in-command as Howland Reed, Meera's father. Eddard tells Ser Arthur Dayne and Lord Commander Gerold Hightower to stand down, and asks why they weren't at the Trident.

This. They don't put in throwaway comments like this for nothing...

So looking at the Bolton-Umber scene again. Smalljon Umber says that the Greatjon died of natural causes. In the books he is still held at the Twins after the RW. Maybe the con is to convince Ramsay Smalljon is the new Lord while Greatjon assembles an army.

You book experts, was it not known that Ned had help besting Dayne? I can't remember, but I was surprised by how Bran acted at learning that fact. I mean, it was seven on three (or two in the show), I guess I don't see what was so much more dishonorable about somebody sneaking up and stabbing him in the back.

Forget where I read it, but after the sandsnake BS, they wanted an absolute badass swordsman to play Danye. Which they did. It is probably harder to show off a badass swordsman with a great sword than with 2 normal ones.

6v2 didn't bother me at all. It was a chaotic enough scene; imagine tossing 2 more guys in there.

I'm also greatly looking forward to Bran talking to Meera about her Dad saving Ned's life at the Tower of Joy. Does she know her dad was there and what happened, maybe she knows about other things?

If she doesn't know, it would be cool to see her find out, and it's neat that a Stark has another Reed watching his back.

******Potential Spoiler********









There is a theory (I think I read it here) that Jon Snow and Meera are twins. That conversation would probably resolve the twin theory one way or another.

They kinda look alike. Same hair anyways.

Me too. I thought for a minute Jon was going to cut him down as they were strangling. Glad he didn't, the little ****.

The Meera theory does not make sense, as Howland Reed would have no reason to lie to her regarding her parentage (or at least that she is actually Reed's daughter), also, I'm not sure Ned would be cool with the idea of his sister's child being raised by someone other than himself. If you remember from the books, Meera is surprised at the lack of knowledge Bran has regarding the story of the Knight of the laughing tree, which would indicate that Howland has no issue telling details that Ned would otherwise like to keep quiet.

The best part of that fight was that people weren't attacking him one at a time(like almost every other sword fight choreographed), the entire group was going after him.

---

THIS. It was an epic sword fight. Man the way all 6 swords were swinging was great. The choreography involved in that had to be very well planned and timed. I guess though those actors had nothing else to do really. THAT was their scene for the entire series really. They obviously put a lot into that 5 minute scene....gee I wonder if thats important somehow, more than just interesting backstory?!?!?!?!

SOOOO...

Maybe the Manderly thing happened, but we didn't see it?

Greatjohn Umber is at The Twins, Manderly Shows up, takes out the Freys... Edmure Tulley is there...

Disappointing though as that wasn't what I was imagining!

Sh****dog's death bothered me more than any human being death since the Red Wedding.

When Jon fights Bolton, I hope it's very anticlimactic and Jon just instantly kills him in a sword fight. Just totally outclassed by Jon.

I see an argument for that, but I wouldn't mind them putting them on the X and flailing him as payback, but don't think that happen. Ramsey deserves a painful, prolonged death though. Cutting his wiener off would be nice too.
