My HBO GO app on my Roku has this option, but you have to enable it. Pretty handy feature that I wish more providers/devices had.

LurkerDan

yeah, I wasn't aware I enabled anything (also watching via Roku), it did it automagically. Then went back to normal.

Bill Needle

I like to think he's been out there all this time surviving on a gallon of warm chocolate milk, a half loaf of moldy bread, and confusing cooking oil with sunscreen.

I was waiting for her to point to it and say, "You just drew this before bringing me in here, didn't you?"

"Look! I can fly! I'm a parakeet!"

Gendry will reappear. They need someone to make the weapons, after all.

This was a Bronn-heavy episode so it would've been appropriate if he'd died, but I'll reserve final judgment till we find out what his ultimate fate is. And yeah, he was god-like in this episode but it wasn't like he was engulfed Targaryean-like in dragon fire.

I just rewatched the scene, and he said "Flee, you idiot." Then when Jaime started to charge, he added "You idiot. You fucking idiot."

I loved it when Jaime's aiming his spear at Dany then the dragon head appears to intercede.

Totally. It was the Indians attacking the wagon train.

That is a really famous soliloquy on the show. It was featured as being the Season 3 trailer before Littlefinger was seen saying it :

Man, there are some absolute debbie downer smells in this thread. Anyways, amazing episode, one of the best of the show. Some people need to stop eating carnation instant bitch for breakfast. I'd like to know what type of shows you're all watching. Maybe move on to other shows if it doesn't please your elitist standards. This is one of the greatest shows ever made, glad i've been able to see this unfold.

Decker

Maybe he's been paddling against the current for seven or eight years now, finally tires, falls asleep, and washes right back up on Dragonstone. Problem solved!

Draven

Considering that the Dothraki are analogs for Native Americans, I wasn't surprised at all to see them doing the charge on the horses. Loved them standing up in their saddles to shoot arrows or to leap over the line.

lwhy?

I just thought about this. Now that they know there are dragon killing weapons, would it be possible to make some armor for the dragons to protect them and for them to still be able to fly? Gendry is supposed to be an amazing smith. Maybe he'll be the one to make it?

LurkerDan

well, first he needs to wash up on the shores of Dragonstone.

Does it come in Strawberry?

I may be misremembering (or, more accurately, remembering something that was only in the books), but the assassin was sent by

Decker

Yeah, that one.

Josh-da-man

Yes, that's from the books, though it isn't outright stated as a fact, just a conclusion treached by both Tyrion and Jamie. (In the books.)

Now that Bran can see shit in visions, it might be definitively revealed who did it.

LurkerDan

That "books" explanation makes no sense (edit: not saying it didn't get explained that way in the books, but it sounds like Tyrion/Jamie were just speculating, and I don't think that is the correct answer). I always assumed it was Cersei, but Littlefinger is certainly a possibility.

Jason

Right. Because it's such a precision instrument.

If you're on the wrong side of a war involving a dragon, you want that fucker DEAD.

Rypro 525

look at how many are in this promo who are now dead!

Rypro 525

A theory i had (i'm putting it in tags juuuust in case it happened in the books and what not)

davidh777

Good read, thanks.

Yeah, I watched the scorpion scene again and didn't see any sign of Bronn changing his aim in order to avoid a critical hit.

LurkerDan

actually, most of them are still living. Joffrey, Robb, and Catelynn were the only ones I saw (the woman just before Joffrey maybe, couldn't tell who that was, might have been Sansa but not sure).

LurkerDan

It would make absolutely no sense at all, it would be based entirely on the fact that we know and are rooting for teh dragon, but there is no reason for Bronn to want to spare it.

GRRM goes to sleep each night chuckling to himself over how people are going to freak out when they find out that Jon Snow doesn't actually get resurrected.

Bronn's a tough cookie.

He comes from good stock. Here's one of his relatives in action:



That's his brother Bonn...
