paul-r-cfc Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Is this Howland Reed still alive? I can't mind him being mentioned in the tv show Meera and her brother mention that they were sent to Winterfell by their father when they first pledge themselves to him. It's assumed he's been staying at their Castle which is a floating island of some sort which always moves and means nobody can every take it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I think it's almost at the stage where there are no spoilers now that the show's ahead of the books. Even Thronecast was openly discussing R+L=J this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 How big is Dorne? What kind of size is their army? Could they cause the Lannisters (and allies) serious grief? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the only Kingdom that weren't conquered by the Targaryens. Only joined the seven kingdoms through a marriage alliance. Presumably the desert terrain/heat would make it difficult for armor-laden Knights to do much damage there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 How big is Dorne? What kind of size is their army? Could they cause the Lannisters (and allies) serious grief? You'd think so. They are currently getting their arses handed to them by one old c**t and a few men. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKTID Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 If tower of Joy is coming up then is big Sean Bean finally returning? by book standards its about 15 years ago is it not? So wouldn't need a younger actor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So wouldn't need a younger actor. Trailer shows a far younger actor playing him. They've nailed it too. The boy's the spitting image of Sean Bean 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintax Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 You'd think so. They are currently getting their arses handed to them by one old c**t and a few men. Not entirely. Unless I'm mistaken, the only forces loyal to the Lannisters in Kings Landing just now are the Kings Guard. Whose numbers are probably more than matched by the Faith Militant. My hope is that Jamie calls in the Lannister armies and we finally see the back of the old c**t and his followers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not in the best interest of the Lannisters to keep them around? Seeing as they have the Tyrells locked up at the moment 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 It's near impossible to avoid spoilers for this show. I now know what Ramsey's gift is from the episode 3 trailer a few pages back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only 7 men in the Kings Guard (although in the show only 3 of them are ever mentioned/speak). The guys you see in the red armour are Lannister soldiers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I'd be pretty disappointed if the plot ends with a parade of Targaryens conveniently saving the day and ruling tbh. It may well be that all the endless speculation about ancestries are correct, but it still shouldn't stop them from being bumped off. I can't see Danaerys sitting on the Iron Throne though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically the Gold Cloaks should be loyal. Any knight from the houses of the Reach, Crownlands and Westerlands should be all for defending Margery and avenging Cersei. But on the whole anyone from the upper class has a very strong interest in nipping the Faith Militant firmly in the bud. Many of the merchant classes are likely to be having their businesses disturbed by the puritanical bent, so they together with the Crowns purse should be able to buy any sell swords around. The people of Kings Landing however are very firmly against the Lannisters due to the Sack of Kings Landing and the likely attachment to the Faiths message. Most British will think of things like Peasant Revolt, but a much bloodier affair happened in France. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacquerie Perhaps a more relevant example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albigensian_Crusade Peasant revolts tended to end very horribly for the peasants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They built them up as some sort of superpower that even Tywin was afraid of so you'd hope all that build up doesn't go to waste and they kick some arse at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clough85 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Watching the repeat on sky Atlantic. The mountain smashing that fellas skull off the wall gets better with each viewing. Same applies to the giant smashing up the unfortunate nights watchman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
