I wonder were those her real tits or did they use a double?

About 2 seasons ago they started using doubles.

 

[Phoenix86]

So it seems Jon+whoever is still loyal to Starks+wildlings+little finger+knights of the vale will skull fuck Ramsay.

So, I get that Dany is immune to fire, but you're telling me that bitch didn't die from smoke inhalation? Now, that's just outright unbelievable. Also, avert your eyes, perv... Damn gray scale staring her down.

It was really her according to her interview: http://www.ew.com/article/2016/05/15/game-thrones-emilia-clarke-dany

Her nose/lungs can filter breathable are from other stuff, duh... Glad to see some high profile tits after a long time :thumbsup:

 

[Newbian]

So the Tormund and Brienne romance is going to get scary it looks like rather fast.

So Dany can survive fire....AND....asphyxiation?......

That smoke should have torched her lungs.

huh? I must have missed that??

also, that fire spread waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too quickly from when she toppled the fire.

 

[Brovane]

huh? I must have missed that??

You missed the eye contact over the meal?

 

[JEDI]

oh.. and do you think the High Sparrow set up the King by telling him the secret, knowing he will tell Cersai?

 

[JEDI]

You missed the eye contact over the meal?

lol.. that scene?
how the heck did you come to the conclusion of Tormund and Brienne romance?
that implies Brienne flirted back but she looked uncomfortable at his suggestive eye contact.

 

[zinfamous]

Nice plan, but I was still hoping to see The Hound fly in on the back of Drogo, torching the entire Dothraki nation....but I guess it's better to leave with a capable army rather than a field of charred corpses.

:\

 

[TheAdvocate]

so where does that Drogon flyover of the Dothraki (from the season previews) come in then? When Dany marches out of Vaes Dothrak?

If Jon gets any of the Northern houses to join him, the Wildlings, and The Vale, Ramsay is gonna get annihilated. The Vale forces have not fought in any of the battles since the show started. Their army is entirely in tact, and it was one of the stronger, more experienced ones to start with. Though the Vale is a fairly long march from Winterfell. May be more like Théoden riding to the rescue of Minas Tirith.

I'm ready for some action. and some longer scenes. Episode 5 - its time for a payoff!

 

[Jeeebus]

Was I the only one who thought the 'let's go get that High Sparrow' small council scene to be ridiculous? The queen and her brother have been locked up in a dungeon for months, the Hand's son is a religious zealot, and it somehow took Cersei to reveal these facts to the morons on the council?

OMG you mean they plan to treat the queen the same way they treated the queen regent? Goddammit what a surprise. No way. Guess maybe we should do something?

 

[TheAdvocate]

It is awkward writing - but they are off the source material now. The change in circumstances now was that Cersei, Kevan Lannister and the Tyrells suddenly have common cause.

I'm avoiding a more annoying issue that the previews and now the story suggest - that Sansa is gonna send Brienne down to Riverrun to enlist the aid of the Tullys. I hope I am wrong for one simple reason - that is a ridiculous distance from Castle Black. Someone did a scale map, and as best I can tell that would be similar to riding from Newfoundland, or at least Massachusetts to the Florida Keys, by horse. It would take months. Wouldn't fit into the timeline of taking Ramsay down anytime soon (the alternative is that we sit and wait for the rest of the season, Walking Dead style, for her to return). Even if she went by boat, it'd take a long time, and then even longer to get their army to the north. They couldn't go through the Twins either.

Here are some well researched fan sourced estimates of distance:

I know it's better to send your peeps as representatives, but why wouldn't they just dispatch a handful of crows to their likely allies requesting aid in an attack that they are already planning?

As to the Rickon handoff from the Umbers....I am still thinking that it was simply an attempt to anger Snow and his potential allies to rally against Ramsay. ...still doesn't make sense, but I wager that Ramsay would not have sent off a threat like that without having a Stark in his possession. Umber was banking on that, despite the risk of putting Rickon in his hands?

 

[Fingolfin269]

If this show decided to stick with the fact that distances are just really far away in a time where the horse is the fastest mode of transit, then I think we would either be very bored or get to read a lot of this...

"Three months later..."

 

[Newbian]

He was eyeing her up the moment she showed up in the courtyard.

I guess he has a type.

 

[Chiropteran]

huh? I must have missed that??

also, that fire spread waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too quickly from when she toppled the fire.

My interpretation is that the braziers were filled with burning oil. Tip them over and the oil spreads all over, carrying the fire with it.

Yep, looked like burning oil when she tipped over the braziers.

 

[Drako]

I loved the scene when Brienne confronted Melisandre and Davos.

I thought that was pretty damn self explanatory myself
