Can you at least confirm that the Daenerys story line is like super sped up, because she seems to be bordering on Great Engineer like proportions for getting shit done.
And wasn't Rickon like 3 years old at the beginning? He looks to be like 7 now. Must be all the secret ogling of Tonks.
The Red Woman's magic cursed Joffrey Baratheon, Balon Greyjoy, and Robb Stark
Hmm, are you sure? I better go watch that scene again.
Also, the Filch Frey must be very close to death, so he engineered this whole wedding fiasco. He needed to establish that his family was ruthless and cutthroat. Note how they made a big deal of the passing of bread and salt? Signifying peaceful relations and truce when under his roof. Well he has just burned that tradition to the ground, his family will either grow to be as powerful and feared as the Lannisters as he hopes or will become shunned pariahs of Westeros. I think it will be the latter. his offspring are idiots. He has essentially doomed them for generations, they may not even survive this war. I can easily see a second river crossing being built that eliminates the need for the Frey crossing, making them even more useless.
But what is a huge loss for the Freys is a huge win for? Daenerys! Having violated such a sacred rite and upheld tradition, the common people will begin to long for a time when order and civility was as how they perceive to remember it, as in under the Targaeryens rule.
Also, I think Jon Snow and Daenerys totally hook up only to find out that he is her nephew.

I appreciate this joke even more now.
I am sad so many people don't know Robb's name.
I can understand being upset, I know I was taken by surprise and had to share my amazement here. But reading those tweets makes me despise humanity. No, you do not have PTSD from the show. No, watching the episode did not ruin your life. Ugghhh I am disgusted.
I got the feeling something bad was going to happen ... but not that. I didn't think it would go that bad.
Not sure if I should be spoilerizing anything.

Though to be honest, I was more pissed about Grey Wind than Rob. The scene was awful because I didn't want that to happen to Catelyn, and I was so happy Arya was finally going to be reunited with some of her family, but then--no. I realize now that if any Starks are left by the end of the series, they're not going to see each other until then.
So in that promo we see that Ironborn princess whats her name, so hopefully that means the Greyjoys get dealt with next episode. They really bug me, just terribly unrealistic and poorly thought out. I hope they are better in the books. Robert routed their entire puny kingdom what, 6 or 7 years ago and now they are somehow able to mount a military? Their kingdom is a wasteland of rocks with little income and no significant resources, once Robert crushed them, how exactly do they attract enough people to repopulate the islands and thus have enough men to even form a small force let alone a force that can conquer the North? It's as if the writers just assume that they must have the same military strength they had at the beginning of their last rebellion to start of this rebellion, ignoring all the losses they suffered during that war. Bah!
I know I know, it's a fantasy book, stop thinking about it logically. Don't get me started on intergalactic probes that can only see a few hundred meters and only when hovering a meter off the ground.

It's all better explained in the books.
You should read them and you wouldn't have so many pressing questions and speculations.

It's not pressing, just annoying. I've got to finish my father in laws book before I can resume pleasure reading, and man is it ever dry.
And speculations are fun (they also drive Squidleybits nuts, who has read the books)
Speculation #1 - with no place left to turn to, Arya does the only thing she can and turns in that coin thingy, thus becoming a tiny killing machine who's sole purpose is to clean up loose ends for Dani, so that Dani doesn't have to dirty her hands to do so
Speculation #2 - Sansa survives just to annoy everyone, but mainly just to preserve the name Stark
Speculation #3 - all the Freys die
Speculation #4 - Joffrey and Tywin both die, and Tyrion is forced out of the Kings court, thus providing the required confusion needed for the entire story to progress, Cersei ends up running the kingdom into the ground, I hope she doesn't die though, I really like the actress
Speculation #5 - Stannis is either removed as a character or heads north, it's the only place left that might support his claim to the throne, so most of the fighting is up North, with the loyal Starkians, the Boltonians, the Wildlings and the Stannisian forces
Speculation #6 - Bran starts a school for Wargs with the other kid, until the other kid separates to form his own school
Speculation #7 - Bronn remains fucking awesome

OMG, By the old gods and the new ones, I'm laughing even harder than I probably should. Real loud laughing going on here...
Without wanting to spoil too much, I've seen other people's "predictions" (who haven't read the books), and yours are, relatively speaking, not that bad. Of course, you forgot to include the bit where rocks fall and everyone dies, except for Hodor.
That guy cracks me up everytime.
Haha I really like this one "You know why the end credits had no music? The sound of your sobbing and sniffling is the music."
Toward the end of this episode I was thinking not much has happened. Jon Snow leaves the wildlings and the baby starks split up. Eh hopefully something good happens next week. Was I the only one who was expecting Catelyn to yell out "Its a trap" when she stood up. While Robb was sort of expected to go, I was not thinking all of them would go including Catelyn. I think Neds death last season made me not be too surprised at anyones passing and steeled me to the possibility. Without it I would have been really sad at this turn of events. The only one Im not ready to see go yet is Daenerys, because she hasnt done anything in the seven kingdoms yet.
Also when everyone here was saying just wait til the red wedding I never imagined it would be anyone else's besides Joffrey's. That just seems like it would be his kink.
