Lady Mormont is the best. She's a tough little badass but she still looks at Jon like she wants to put a poster of him up on her wall.

Why did I know walter's sons were in that pie when she said something to the effect of "they are here." Did something like that happen in the books or was it a leak or a theory or something?

Ahhh it was so good. All the stuff I've been waiting for for so long happened in a 20 minute span. I had legit goosebumps during the King In The North scene.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
I interpreted that last scene as her being worried about Littlefinger. She goes from happy about "King In The North" to worried/scared when she see's Littlefinger's face. She knows he doesn't like what's happening and she knows how dangerous Littlefinger is when he doesn't like something.tragabigzanda wrote:I don't think it's impossible, but I do think her inner turmoil is less vindictive.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
That's how I read it too. She flat out rejects him by the tree, and knowing his desire and how dangerous he is, she's worried. What moves can he make though? It's been implied he knows Jon isn't Ned's son, right? Perhaps he'll play off that?Mike wrote:I interpreted that last scene as her being worried about Littlefinger.

They at least could have had a throwaway line that Jon left him at the wall instead of he costs to much to show on screen so ignore him.

Above all else, I'm most impressed by the execution of the last two episodes. This is what excellent TV should look and feel like. Perfect 10.
