Another top episode, was thinking they would struggle to even match last weeks. And they did, but was delivered at a diferent pace. The last two episodes finished off this season so well, with no ridiculous cliff hanger.........looking at you TWD.....

Well they kind of did. She whispered something. "His name is...."

Loras Tyrell, Lancel Lannister, Margaery Tyrell, Walder Frey, High Sparrow, Maester Pycelle, King Tommen and Lord Tyrell - goneburger!
Yep bodycount has to be the highest in a single episode...ever? Red Wedding is the other one that comes immediately to mind.

So now we know Jon Snow is the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna, the next mystery is his name.

Hold the door is the best moment of the season, but this was the best episode and there have been quite a few bangers! I thought Episode 8 was weak as piss but other than that, much better than season 5.

I've just finished all 5 books this time in audio format as I prefer it to reading now.

Have started listening to the audiobook of The World of Ice & Fire which seems really great!

Yeah I listened to the Ellen Degeneres audiobooks of GoT. Lost a bit of impact if you ask me.

That's about what I expected. I figured Tyrion would sit the Iron Throne by the end of that season.

And in NZ too, a few mornings of around 0 degrees in the morning. Worked outside on Thursday all day and temp never rose above 7 degrees.

Speaking of winter, new season of Thrones should be starting soon eh?

That scene when Arya rides up to the Lanister troop just hurt to watch. Absolutely terrible.

Why, did Ed Sheeran do a battle chant for it?

The whole thing was bollocks.

Anyway, who gives a fuck about Euron Greyjoy...that story-line sucked in the books and sucks in the show.

That was a throwaway scene just to get Ed Sheeran in, which is fucking dumb.

I view the show and the books as two separate entities, so with that approach I'm still enjoying the hell out of the show. The last episode of season 6 was fucking amazing.

I don't see them as two separate entities. Until a certain point they're almost the same thing. The changes to the show from the books were understandable in the early part of the series. I doubt it'll end all that differently in the books anyway. I think the major events played out in the show will be much the same if he ever finishes the books. But the entire Greyjoy story is shitty as. I'd rather have seen them keep to the resurrected Caitlin Stark story than the Greyjoy story line though. They're not interesting characters. I doubt anyone loves or hate them...and you need to feel one of the two extremes. Like Joffrey..we loved hating him. He was an excellent little cunt. Euron is annoying in both the show and the books and seems to be a complete waste of time in the overall big picture. It's just filler in both versions of the story.
