HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)

I just wanna see John Snow/Stark stab Ramsey right through his fucking nose this season.

I want Sansa or Theon to be the ones to kill Ramsay.

Theon seems the logical choice.. prodigal son returns, uses the army to take down Ramsay. Sansa would be awesome, but how would she do it or get to a position to do it?

so theon's the head of house greyjoy now, right? or is he not because he was traded away to the starks?

Non-spoiler explanation: They mentioned the "kingsmoot" last night, so here's the skinny: Balon was already hatin' on Theon for seeming like a land lubber, and after he found out he had lost his twig and berries, you'll remember, he basically disowned him in season 3. Yara would seemingly be next in line, but there's never been a woman who's ruled the Iron Islands. So they're going to have a kingsmoot--basically, a meeting between all of the houses of the Iron Islands to pick the next ruler. Yara has a claim, and so does Theon if he returns--but, so does the Man on the Bridge (Balon's brother), since he's a male member of the family. Basically, it's shaping up to be the same sort of shitshow as when King Robert died and Joffrey, Renly, and Stannis all claimed the thrown.

They kinda gloss over this in the show, but the drowned priest tells Yarsha there will be a Kingsmoot, which is like an Ent Moot, except they pick a king

Part of me was curious if we'd even see the resurrection last night. The way they lingered I thought the episode was ending with Jon motionless on the table.

I really thought it was going to fail and then they'd put him on a pyre and he'd emerge from that after the flames died down ala dany in season 1.

Spoiler: show

Anyone think he warged into Ghost? Nothing happened with his resurrection until Ghost sat up a moment before Jon came back. I'm sure that is the approach the books will take, but I really think that what happened in the show, too. It would also be a way for his resurrection to not take too big of a toll on him, personality wise, as his spirt didn't travel to the darkness a la Beric. There's also some canonical evidence, vis-a-vis Ghost's behaviour, that suggests this is the case. The only time he howls in the books is when Jon is having a wolf dream while north of the wall. Otherwise, he is noted for being unnaturally silent. His howling at the beginning of Episode 1 makes me think that's the case.

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

What did you guys expect? a fucking jesus christ superstar broadway production?

It was just a lot of hype and nonsense for what amounted to a lot of nothing. It would have been way better if they had actually kept it under wraps, or held off on the reveal for much longer, like another season. As it stands, it makes his death and everything that came after feel like useless filler all in the name of pumping up the Jon Snow myth.

It couldn't have been dragged out. Jon's body would start to rot away.

Yeah, resurrecting a partially decayed body would be absurd, even in this world.
