Most memorable 'The Lannisters send their regards." My favorite Tyrion Lannister: I did not kill Joffrey, but I wish that I had! Watching your vicious bastard die gave me more relief than a thousand lying whores!
"Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb,but they refuse. They cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions! Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is!"" "I'm not trying to honor you, I'm trying to get you to run my Kingdom while I eat drink and whore my way to an early grave."
"My father won the real war. He killed Prince Rhaegar. He took the crown while you hid under Casterly Rock!!!"
The other brother you are thinking of is Victarion Greyjoy, but I don't think he will be included in the show.
Definitely enjoyed that episode more. I agree that the showing of Lyanna and the Tower of Joy in the next episode will at least further flirt with the concept of Jon being the son of Lyanna and Rhaegar if not just outright confirm it. Which is cool. My question is whether or not Jon is changed in some way. I mean, does he just go back to being the Lord Commander? Also does he know things or have he changed in some way in the sense of awareness (i.e. that he's not Ned Stark's bastard) or abilities. Does he become a new king or god or something? There is a lot of potential there.
Heard an interesting theory that the oath Jon took states "until my death" and he died so he is no longer beholden to that oath and therefore can claim his rights and titles. Combine that with Ramsay not giving a fuck about some of the other houses in the north and people seeing Jon as some diety or prophet or whatever and you could have the possibility of him trying to reclaim Winterfell. Thought that was interesting.
Why in the show doesn't Loras demand a trial by combat? I seriously doubt that anyone the Faith would choose to fight could beat him. He could clear his and Margaery's names.
If I recall from the books, the royal family had to use a member of the Kings guard. Hence Cersei getting the Mountain into it! It could be different in the show though.
Additional interesting theory I heard recently (could be an old one I just never heard before): Meera Reed and Jon Snow are twins. After the Tower of Joy Ned took Jon and Howland Reed to Meera. I did a minimal amount of research and they are born in the same year but I'm not sure if we know for a fact how Meera's mother is. Any thoughts?
"...But through our veins flows the same blood of the First Men and, at times, maybe something more." ―Meera Reed referring to her people, the Crannogmen.
Just did a quick search on it and found this link here that came to the same conclusion. Could be legit.
Jon definitely should not be commander anymore. He should lead a group of people against the White Walkers. There is Davos, but maybe the Nightswatch become something more. I still think Dany ends up being the ruler of Westeros at the end of it all and Jon Snow is the one to save everyone. I guess I want to see Tyrion and Jon ride dragons haha
I wonder what the deal is with Hodor,What an epic episode Ramsay Bolton is now warden of the north something no one saw coming.Can't wait to see everyones reactions to Snow coming back after they thought the Red Women had failed in trying to bring him back.Also looks like Tyrion may actually be a Targaryen (a popular theory)
In the books, he gets wounded during a siege. I was talking about in the show he should request a trial by combat.
