The 6x03 promo, looks like the Tower of Joy scene at the end. I wonder why it's Ned saying "now it begins" and Arthur Dayne saying "now it ends", when from what I've read it was the other way around.

... you got it mixed up...it is young ned saying now it ends.

Anyone else now think some version of the Pink Letter will be in the show given the events of Episode 2? One of the earlier promos for Season 6 had dialogue from Ramsay that was similar.

It absolutely is happening... "Winterfell is mine... come and see" from the trailers... Maybe its Ramsay telling someone what to write or something... but it certainly seems to be it.

Yeah, I think so. If the gift Ramsay's getting is Rickon, he could use the lad as bait to get Jon to Winterfell. Or, as some have said, the Mance role could be given to Davos and both could be used to bait Jon into marching on Winterfell.

That blonde guy is Ned? I thought Dayne was the blonde one? Ok. I got them confused. Lol

 

[Reek]

Yea I am pretty sure that's Ned.

 

[MurkeNyou]

He looks like young Sean Bean. I seen Patriot Games in the Theater back in the day, he looks really close.

I hope this Sunday we don't just get the battle at the tower of joy and them not give us the full story and end it at that.

I'm hoping that we do get the R+L=J story this Sunday and not hold that for later. Sorry if I'm not making sense

 

[Reek]

I'm not too concerned with the when R+L story is as much as I am whether or not it will be known to people... How does Bran get that news out lol

I find it strange that Arthur Dayne has a "Targaryen armour" instead of the traditional Kingsguard one....


Sorry for my bad english. 😋

 

[Reek]

Well... I guess its kind of like whats going on now... Targaryen armor is fine just like Lannister armor.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

i do wonder where the dragons walked off too... certainly there's another entrance or something because they could't fit through the door lol...i hope they show next episode the dragons fly out of the roof or something...they had to have some form of skylight opening right? otherwise dany is a cruel ***** lol

My brother asked the same question.

 

[Infinity9999x]

I'm so pumped to see Dayne. GRRM has said Dayne is the only one that could challenge Barristan in terms of combat skill.

 

[Reek]

Did GRRM mean back then? cause I'd think Jaime and Oberyn could certainly challenge Barristan.

According to GRRM, Barristan even currently in the books, is still probably my the best fighter in the world. When Jamie says there are only 3 men in Westeros who could take him in a fair fight in S2 Barristan is easily one of the ones he means.

 

[Victarion]

I wish we'd have gotten another good fight from Hotah. I liked him more in the show than the books.

 

[Reek]

Yea i know Barristan still was in the show... But Jaime was his protege... and is an absolute bad ass...

Jamie was a bad ass, and probably ranks super high, but I remember reading from an old interview somewhere that GRRM wrote Barristan as the best fighter in Westeros, and only Dayne could match him if he had his sword of the morning.

I still wonder about some match ups though. How would the Mountain do against Kahl Drogo, Barristan against the Red Viper etc.

 

[Reek]

they should make a mortal kombat GoT game

I'm hoping we get R+L=J+M !

 

[Reek]

god i hope not lol

 

[dude stannis]

Mathematically that's saying Rhaegar and Lynna shagging is equivalent to Jon and Meera shagging.

Guess we should say + = &

 

[Reek]

I really hate that theory lol
