After all the crying I've done today I needed a laugh. Happily, reddit provided, with this NSFW thread. I explained it to them, and I got downvoted, but the other (clueless) comments are hilarious.

Edit: Apparently the thread starter, at least, realized that I was right and he deleted his post. (PPS: He later said the mods deleted it.) You can still see the thread, though, just not the OP. He posted two pictures of the girl who played Sansa in the Braavos play, the first of her breasts on stage, the second of her naked backstage, where her nips had gotten hard. He wondered why they used a different actress because those breasts were clearly not the same breasts! lol.

I thought the play was pretty solid, warts and all.

Sooooooooo anyone else kinda think that now that there's a race on between the Greyjoy factions, that Euron might actually end up getting the Quentyn treatment?

I thought it was well done overall. Arya's reaction to the depiction of her father seemed almost overdone, though. I mean, I know it's a bad memory for her, but my guess is that they played this one up just to show people, in case they were wondering, that Arya really isn't no one. The Waif says she'll never be one of them, calls her Lady Stark, and Jacquen says she has a point.

I'm really interested to see where Arya is going. Apparently lots of people are annoyed with her plotline, but I never was; you don't have to know where something is going to be fascinated by it.

I dunno what to expect from this. I just wish they'd hired more people to play ironmen. The launch of this plot, whatever it is, was a little haphazard.

I think I would like Euron to play Quentyn, honestly. I can see Dany playing that up, telling him that if he wants to claim her hand, he has to ride a dragon to prove his worth. And maybe at that point, Dany has already secured the loyalty of Asha/Yara and knows she doesn't need Euron to get her ships.

I was going to say that the best thing about the boring play was the amazing pair of tits but I just didn't have the energy in my fingers earlier. Truly amazing knockers though. I didn't notice any mole. Instead I zeroed in on the amazing tits.

Yes I'm making fun of them actually talking about tits.

What's amazing is that they expect anyone to believe that this post was inspired by a mole. None of them noticed that mole until they took screenshots and stared at them, and they took screenshots because they thought she had different boobs because her nipples got hard. This shit cracks me up; they're still downvoting me.

Yah that's pretty nutty. I mean on stage they oranged her up entirely because Sansa, like Catelyn, is a redhead and this whole play is a caricature. She's wearing a giant red wig as well. I don't even get what they're alleging. The show had a grand conspiracy to hire one actress for the stage and a second actress to play the same minor character backstage?

[Catherine]

well, we got our 3 deaths, just not the ones I expected. Did she kill one of the white walkers?

Meera did, yes, using a spear with an obsidian blade, apparently.

These allegedly superior chesticles require extensive further examination.

EDIT
IMNSHO: same sweater puppies, ergo same actress. Temperature/arousal, light, angle etc make for an initial difference for the novices, but a true connoisseur notices these things.

No fucking idea what colour her eyes are though. Indeed, who cares?

I remember reading AGoT in 1999 and thinking that the Others might be weapons created by the CotF to use against the First Men, but the Pact came and it wasn't necessary. Then several thousand years later something happened and they were unleashed. So that was cool, although it's not confirmed that this is Word of GRRM (the "Hold the door" thing is).

First Episode: Doran, Areo, Trystane

Second Episode: Roose, Walda, Balon

Third Episode: Thorn, Olly, Shaggydog

I recognise a pattern

Who will be the next three? Any guesses?

Fourth Episode: Osha, Everydamn Khal, ...am I missing anyone?

Coming Soon: Littlefinger, Petyr, Lord Baelish

Two dead Dothraki. But as not named characters are not included... My theory is disproved.

But hey, there are still so many victims left. Maybe they kill in the next week more. Like Pycelle, Kevan, Rickon, Lancel
So many dead and still so many left

Dammit. Yeah, four deaths this time. But the wrong ones

This episode was really hard

[Terez]

Speaking of what I said earlier about who would kill Kevan if not Varys, I noticed in that WIC leak roundup that Varys is going to leave Mereen on a ship. Perhaps this has something to do with his issues with magic, but perhaps he'll go back to King's Landing to play the same role for Dany that he did for Aegon in the books.

Yup I'm with all y'all. Brutal.

As far as the tree goes, I think the Raven had to be part of it just to stick around. I mean he's 1000 years old because of the tree, not because of the Greensight. Plus he could send projections into Bran's dreams when Bran was in bed at Winterfell. Maybe touching it was just a matter of Bran's novice level. Whisperz's idea is pretty cool though.

Anyway, there's no way Meera can drag Bran all the way south. Maybe -- finally -- the return of Benjen to help them out?

They could teleport like Littlefinger. Or Theon. Or probably Brienne in the next episodes

But yeah, this would be a good point to introduce Benjen/Coldhands. I can't see another way for them to survive with zombies a few meters behind them.

[End of Disc One]

Overall a pretty good ep with an emotional ending. The one thing I wasn't a fan of was Euron's, "yeah I killed him, but who cares let's move the Kingsmoot along as quickly as possible." That and Littlefinger's teleporting once again.

[Werthead]

Someone else spotted the LOST connection.

[End of Disc One]

Not Penny's Boat = Hold The Door?

[Whisperzzzzzzz]

What if Brandon The Builder is actually Bran? But he's stuck in the past and has to live out his life there. Knowing that the White Walkers exist and need to be stopped, he builds the Wall and starts the Stark family

[Terez]

I really don't get that theory. Even if Bran is stuck in the past, he's just stuck watching it. He's not going to become anyone in the past.

[Coltaine -]

Has anyone else noticed that Leaf did a hedge? Cusser down and taking the monster(s) with you.

[Defiance]

Okay, so after having time to digest the episode, some thoughts:

Seeing Sansa shut down Littlefinger was awesome. Also, Varys was speechless as well. Crazy to see these two masterminds both speechless in the same episode.

Tormund-Brienne is killing me. His looks are priceless.

The Kingsmoot...ugh. Sandsnakes of this season? It had so much potential to be a powerful scene, especially with the way it started. Then Euron came in and delivered some halfassed lines. I wasn't convinced that the Ironborn would be instantly swayed. They should have stuck closer to the books for this one.

So the Wall is definitely going to come crashing down this season, right? I imagine it'd make one hell of a season finale to have the final shot be it collapsing.

How much influence has Bran had on the timeline? Did he help influence the Wall's creation, the necessity for a Stark in Winterfell and holding to the Old Gods to keep Warging around (yay for causal loops)? It certainly seems possible at this point.

So the Old Gods are definitely the Green Seers. The Seven have never had power beyond the fanaticism of their followers. That just leaves the question of who/what the power beyond R'hllor's magic is.

[Cause]

I wonder if the others suck magic out if the world in the way that dragons create it. To empower their centuries long spell. Might explain their senescence and then their reactivation

Though as I say that I remember the white walkers became active in the very first chapter of the first book.

I always suspected the faceless men and their cult of death woukd know something. I'm torn between grrm just telling us of this is book truth and leaving it for the books.

[amphibian]

I am all the way suspicious that Jaquen and the Waif do not want Area to become fully one of them. This is an awful lot of repetition of how she is Attached and not truly a Faceless Man. They seem to want to equip her with the skills and then launch her at someone truly important - maybe Verse or Dany.

The Braavosi have an end game in mind and the Bank stuff + this have my bells ringing.
