Most of us already know the Mance thing, Oi! Crikey!

RIP Mance "Rhaegar" Rayder, King Beyond the Wall.

More of Mance and his eschew mouth!
 
Pretty good episode.

Cersei's flashback was a mild disappointment. It was such a great scene in the book, so tragic. The scene in the show feels very insignificant.

I like what they did with the Mance scene at the end. I suppose the switcheroo from the book wasn't necessary for this story.
 
Wow... episodes are online apparently according to CNN. How do they afford this show when you lose 1/3 of your content just like that?
 
Makes you wonder why folks do it? Ruin things. :(
 
I am getting the feeling the shows will sell out and cheapen up, probably cutting out major content in the future and chopping the series short. Happens to every TV show. Just got a feeling a lot of the fans will be disappointed at the end, and I have no idea where things are going not having read the series.

The Walking Dead deviated enough from the source material that even having read ahead didn't matter. I hope they don't wander as far away with this but I do understand why it must be done with so lengthy source material. It doesn't have to mean they will cheap out. This show has never felt cheap to me and I don't expect that to change no matter they may have alter. HBO has been consistently good to me so far. :)

I've watched every episode twice so far and I'll be watching tonight on hbo. i think if you're enough of a fan to seek this leak out, you'll probably watch it on hbo aswell anyway.
 
I don't watch leaked stuff, I can't condone it. I'll watch the episodes as they air and try to avoid the spoilers as much as I can. :(
 
Overall, i enjoyed it but it went by REALLY fast. Iv really wish they would cut down the opening credits.

Dany shouldn't be surprised that her dragons lashed out at her after having them locked up. I just want her tov tame them so they can get out of that boring dungeon.

It does surprise me they don't mind her better, I thought she was their mother? I was also surprised it was so dark, I thought there were people feeding them cows or something in the books....
 
I feel like they were more under her influence before she had them locked up, but they probably will probably just lash out more the longer they are down there.
 
Yea they've probably gone feral by now.

Where is Littlefinger taking Sansa?

And can someone kill Melisandre?
 
Do you really want to know, Schlosser? It's been spoiled, and is different from in the books.

Stannis's offer to the freefolk sounded good. It was essentially what they wanted when they attacked the Wall: a place to live south of the Wall. Mance's decision, while understandable, seemed a bit hypocritical. He had no problem with guerilla warfare in sending the Thenns south of the Wall last season, nor in going to war against the Night's Watch.

Click the tag if you'd like to know.

Littlefinger is going to wed her to Ramsay Bolton.

Yearly reminder for fellow bookreaders:
Quentyn was going to try and smuggle one of those things out of Meereen in the back of a wagon.
 
Maybe Tyrion will have read how to tame a dragon???
 
I'm sure he is more than capable of sweet talking one with that golden tongue of his. :p
 
Tyrion could sell light bulbs to the Amish. He's that good.
 
- Lord Varys was the standout for me, especially the line about the rightful claimant being stronger than Tommen and gentler than Stannis.

- I'm glad they made Stannis more tougher and more harsh, since he's going to need it if he wants to be King.

- I like how Sansa is more confident and more self-aware, having an army is a great first step into avenging her family.

- I want to know why Melisandre has started to take an interest in Jon.

Because people pay for a premium channel like HBO. Just because 4 episodes leaked doesn't mean people are going to cancel the network.

HBO has more money than Jesus.
 
So watching Robyn get the **** kicked out of him was ****ing hilarious I think we can all agree.
