Well made it through episode 3. 1 and 2 were slow, but 3 is much better. Hope the trend continues.

I have never been so upset about a Brann sequence ending in my life.

WE DID IT BOYS

I still don't get the Olly hate. He's a kid with a very black and white perspective on the world. Wildlings killed and ATE his parents, and Jon let them in.

Dei · May 9, 2016

Some people are complaining that Jon didn't follow the North's view of he who passes the sentence swings the sword, because they were hung. I'm calling shenanigans on this view because he was still the one who made them drop and he looked them all in the eye before he did it.

And he literally did swing the sword. He just swung it at the rope that dropped the floor out from the gallows.

And now that he's left the wall, when Sansa gets there she might find nothing but wildlings...and Boltons.

Frank · May 9, 2016

I think he'll take the wildlings with him.

Dave · May 9, 2016

Think he's headed to Winterfell?

HCGLNS · May 9, 2016

He will find Sansa and then they will learn about Rickon.

Then a whole bunch of fun at Winterfell.

GasBandit · May 9, 2016

"Who the hell is Rickon?"

Dei · May 9, 2016

I feel like they made a giant age leap with Rickon. He was a toddler at the start of the series right? He looks at least 12 now. Or was he older at the start in the show? I don't even remember.

This seems to be the show of giant age leaps. Seems to me they've done that a lot.

Frank · May 9, 2016

Actors age.

The actor that plays Rickon like JUST hit puberty hard. He looked 5 years younger in movies from a year ago.

The only age leaps that seem huge to me are Bran and Rickon, which makes sense for Bran because they wanted to keep the same actor and boys just flat out age faster when they are young. But Rickon could have been cast by anyone, as long as looks were close since he hasn't really been around, to tighten the time frame some, and they basically just said FUUUUUUUUUUCK IIIIIIIIIIIIT. (And I know they aged up Tommen, and we didn't see him grow up on camera all that often, so I can let that one slide some.

He's something like 3 in the books, but like everyone else, he was aged up for the show. I think he was six-ish at the start of season 1, so could be 11 or so, I guess?

Dei · May 9, 2016

Speaking of Tommen, that boy is so malleable. He will basically just turn into whoever someone wants him to be at a given moment.

They're not averse to changing actors. They changed actors for Gregor Clegane, for Tommen and Myrcella, and for Daario Naharis.

But yeah, the actor was 9 when the series started and now he's 14, and apparently all his puberty is coming out the top of his head.[DOUBLEPOST=1462821976,1462821921][/DOUBLEPOST]Then:

Now:

Dei · May 9, 2016

The puberty thing doesn't shock me, my son grew 8 inches the summer between 6th and 7th grade.

But shit, they started Rickon at 9? That explains a ton.

Bubble181 · May 9, 2016

Yeah...He looked and acted more helpeless than a 9 year old should.

I think the actor was 9 but he was portraying 6? or something like that? But Puberty's hitting him like a great big greasy runaway trolley so there'll be no more of that kind of nonsense.

So the teenage boy married to an insanely hot woman who wants nothing more than to have sex with him and make him happy and has the entire resources of the full nation doesn't slaughter everyone keeping him from his wife?

Then the Craster boy is still and infant after 3 years, and numerous time jumps for other children in the show.

Yup.

That baby is the biggest inconsistency.

The Craster kid actually looked toddlerish last episode.

Yahoo! advertisement. so that is a warning.

But, DAMN I laughed so much at this.

Piotyr · May 15, 2016

SO HAPPY Sansa showed up at the wall in time.

Also, Brienne and Daenerys both get a mic drop moment.

GasBandit · May 16, 2016

The quiet strains of The Rains of Castamere at the end of the small council meeting got me cackling in anticipation. Shit's gonna go DOWN.
