  1. I like how you mentioned the differences between expectations and reality when it comes to actually ending someone's life or just going out and fight. Too many people just boast about how they'd take revenge on those who wronged them, but when that moment actually comes and passes, it's sometimes completely different from what they expected.

    I'm just looking forward to the expectations, and the reality of actually dealing with the Boltons in the future.

  2. I love when you draw comparisons to earlier scenes in the series. You catch a lot of small details that never really occurred to me. Just one more reason I like these discussions 🙂

  3. Comparing Ned's actions vs. Jaime's. YOU CANT COMPARE APPLES TO ORANGES. Jaime took an oath to serve and protect ( that includes giving his life for) this king. Ned swore no oaths to Ser Arthur. It was a fight, it was war in fact and he was fighting an enemy. NED TO SER ARTHUR DAYNE: Hey I'm a little disappointed that my banner man took liberties and stabbed you in the back of the neck. I see that your throat is pretty sliced and you're gushing out blood there, yeah right there from your carotid artery. But, would it be okay to mercy kill you? Since you can't speak, you know because of the blood spilling from your carotid artery; nod twice for yes and once for no.

  9. 23:02 The commander of the Kingsguard was likely a regular attendee of the Small Council to all Targaryen kings but Robert never took that Council seriously and Barristan Selmy said he himself didn't like to be there in S3.

  12. Sam is a bit of an oathbreaker. His pledge to Gilly goes against his vows and he actually intends to remedy this by leaving her with his family but we know he won't stick to it. Sam will break his vow by composing with it and making room for a family life.
    Did Daenerys take the equivalent of an oath when she married Khal Drogo? Was her not going back to Vaes Dothrak after he died a form of oathbreaking?
    Smalljon Umber is close to be an oathbreaker too. His delivering Rickon to Ramsay only goes against the oath he would have been supposed to swear to the Starks but he never got to, so he's technically fine.
    Thorne and the others who killed their Lord Commander are not clearly oathbreakers either since they considered that Jon was one, or at least was acting against what they saw as the fulfilment of their oath.
    And of course, Jon's situation is equally unclear. "For this night and all the nights to come" says the oath. Jon has further nights to come, hasn't he?

  13. On the Ned deal… although attacking someone from behind is looked down upon and consider dirty or not noble… a fight is a fight. You win or you die..

    Jamie had an oath to protect his king and he stabbed him in the back and killed him so that would be worse since he actually had an oath. There is no oath saying you can’t stab someone from behind that I know of it’s just dirty.

    Now I’m not saying Jamie did the wrong thing I would have done the same thing. Also I still think Ned was wrong to judge Jamie right away for what he did.

  14. Since you discussed the wolf’s so much I wanted to add this from wiki and to show the detain in planning names

    In its original sense, a shaggy dog story or yarn is an extremely long-winded anecdote characterized by extensive narration of typically irrelevant incidents and terminated by an anticlimax or a pointless punchline.

  16. The high sparrow reminds me of Dumbledore from Harry Potter. both of them to me are extremely manipulative and use this type of Grandfather security blanket to hide their evil intends. Dumbledore knew from fairly early on that Voldemort's soul was residing within Harry. So he had the make sure Harry died at the right moment. Harry was an abused 11 year who never had a family and right away he took advantage of him so 'raised him up like a pig for slaughter'. The high sparrow knows that the king is just a child he taking on this grandfather role after Tywin death. Seems like a fitting way at achieve he goal easier so he is praying on Tommen naivete.

  18. We know from Jojen that “nobody can do that” when Bran first enters Hodor. I think the Raven knows Bran is more than a Greenseer and is possibly able to alter time. I think the look on his face is “oh no, he is too powerful, he might break time.”

  19. Every time you slip Wylla in for Lyanna, I just shake my head because the 'slip up' negates the connection for Kathryn. I think she might figure it out much sooner if she wasn't getting sidetracked by Wylla lol.
