Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon!

Oh man I was so excited for the sam scene but it looks they'll push it back again. I just love sam, he's such a bumbling fool but I love him, he's so endearingly sweet.

I thought the climb was pretty cool and the King's Landing scenese were good as always but some of it (Samwell, Bran, Theon) was pretty boring. I guess Bran's storyline doesn't go anywhere for a while but they have to keep showing him to remind us he exists? It's really annoying that nothing is happening with that.

Who's at Storms End right now?

Rickon had a line, I don't know what more CAN happen with Bran's group.

Potential Meera and Osha catfight over who can skin rabbits better.

[Del Murder]

I forgot Rickon existed before he uttered that line.

It's still under Stannis's control although he's back on Dragonstone. Odd, really, as the man ranted and raved about Robert forcing him to have Dragonstone while Renly had Storm's End, and now he has both he chooses Dragonstone as his base anyway.

Also I dunno how you found Theon boring. Well, Theon himself, maybe, but Crazy Guy is a joy to watch.

[Del Murder]

I'm not a big fan of torture scenes. It was fun when the guy tricked him a few episodes back, though.

I believe Stannis left a modest garrison there, but Storm's End is easily enough defended that it's left alone for now. At least I think that's how it goes in the books.

And yeah, I feel like this episode was something of a slowdown after the first wave of action, but I don't mind so much. I might prefer a little bit more evenly paced action but overall I think it works well, and it means when it does get intense it'll get really bloody intense.

It's not about what castle you like more, it's about what's his by rights! As long as he holds it all is good and well. Stannis

[Freya]

That cracked me up, poor theon.

[Jinx]

That last scene...omg, best scene in the entire series, honestly.

Sansa crying as she watched Littlefinger's ship leave made me sad.

Also, RICKON HAD A LINE, WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

[Night Fury]

It was an okay episode.

[Jinx]

It was an okay episode.

That's honestly what I've felt all season.

But that last scene man. Oh my god.

Finally started season two. Who the smurf is Yara Greyjoy? Never heard of her.

Finally started season two. Who the smurf is Yara Greyjoy? Never heard of her.

In the books, she's originally titled Asha Greyjoy but for the TV series they named her Yara. The reason was that Asha sounded too much like Osha (the wildling), and this made sense to... the creators. Asha and Osha sound different enough to me.

I assume you know who she is in relation to the story though. The 'Greyjoy' title gives it away really.

[Ouch!]

Both Asha and Osha are meant to be pronounced the same way: [ɑʃə].

[Formalhaut]

Oh really? Fair enough. Just looking at the words, they seem different and should be pronounced differently but what do I know?
