and the sword of the morning
It was Willis wasn't it? and the only way it will be significant is when we find out what happened to him so that he is only able to say "hodor" now. Something traumatized him.Mecca wrote:like, him being named Walder after Walder Frey adds some color to the world
I was hoping they were going to delve a little more into who the three-eyed raven really is. They included the line about "a thousand eyes, and one" when Bran first met him, but he's still referring to him as "the three-eyed raven" after spending a year with him in the cave. So I guess that ship has sailed.Simple Torture wrote:We literally know next to nothing about how the whole three-eyed raven thing works.
Thia episode didn't really have room for a lot of exposition. They could still delve into it a bit in future episodes, but you never know.Zantac Junkie wrote:I was hoping they were going to delve a little more into who the three-eyed raven really is.

Didn't the trailer have a brief snippet of a character in Riverrun?Simple Torture wrote:Interesting line of discussion, inspired by the AV Club's expert review today: does Jon's resurrection open the door for Lady Stoneheart? It sure seems like the Kingsmoot was delayed so that the death of Balon lined up with Melisandre's loss of faith--now that all the kings she cursed are dead, it gives some credence to her power. Delaying Lady Stoneheart makes the same sort of sense: bringing her back last season (or even the one before) would have erased the (admittedly muted) tension surrounding whether Jon would rise again or now. Now that that's settled, Cat could certainly make an appearance.
I'm skeptical, as I feel that'd be just another storyline to try and squeeze into the hour they have every week. The Riverlands have been short-shifted for years, and I don't think they'll make a sudden dramatic return like the Iron Islands did last night.
I seem to barely recall someone saying Jaime goes to the Riverlands this season. But I searched through breakdowns of the trailers and didn't find anything.Monkey_Driven wrote:Didn't the trailer have a brief snippet of a character in Riverrun?Simple Torture wrote:Interesting line of discussion, inspired by the AV Club's expert review today: does Jon's resurrection open the door for Lady Stoneheart?

There's a shot of Brienne and Pod standing in front of a Tully banner, and there's also a brief shot of Pod getting grabbed around the neck by Bronn, with a Lannister banner in the background. So I'm guessing that Sansa sends Brienne south to find Arya after she reaches the Wall, and Brienne ends up liaseing between camps during the siege of riverrun. Which definitely opens the door for LSH.Monkey_Driven wrote:Didn't the trailer have a brief snippet of a character in Riverrun?Simple Torture wrote:Interesting line of discussion, inspired by the AV Club's expert review today: does Jon's resurrection open the door for Lady Stoneheart?

This isn't definitive, but I would guess this is in the Riverlands.Simple Torture wrote:I seem to barely recall someone saying Jaime goes to the Riverlands this season. But I searched through breakdowns of the trailers and didn't find anything.

I was thinking last night about how fucking long ago she burned those leeches. In the books it happens within a few chapters of each other. Felt like that whole "how much power does the lord of light actually hold?"
