Qyburn killed Pycelle in the show, Varys killed Pycelle in the books. Does it mean Qyburn secretely works for Varys?

Nah, Qyburn = Varys.

More likely, given the dornish plot what it is Qyburn is actually just a cersei supporter on the show. Pycelle's death is just a nod to readers. Although Pycelle died of a crossbow shot. Kevan was shived to death.

you're assuming Bran caused the mad king to go mad then, or what mindfuck are you talking about?

rewatched and I finally see Kevan Lannister died in the Wildfire. People here said it earlier but I guess i missed it since I was focused on Mace Tyrell instead.

My question is what going to happened to the Houses that betray Stark? Will their family title be stripped? Sort of wished they spend a sentence or 2 explaining it in the finale. Also wtf happen to Lord Karstark? Jormund wrecked Umber but we never actually saw what happened to Karstark. Or did I perhap also missed this as well as the battle of the bastard?
I may not be the best, but i will be some day...

I bet Umbers and Karstarks will be forgotten in the show, they're pretty much irrelevant now. Don't want to guess how it's going to look like in the books because I'm convinced that the bastardbowl will be something very different there.

Hordor, sadly. But I bet that Bran figures out a way to provide people with information without screwing them over. Or he just doesn’t travel backwards and stays in the present, which might not do any damage to people.

But I bet the previous 3 eye raven drove the king mad trying to warn him about the white walkers.

It's possible but i doubt we will ever get any info regarding this, which makes it quite unlikely to begin with.
It would also cheapen the whole situation a lot, so hopefully you are wrong

Personally, I would leave it up to interpretation and a fan theory. They inter-cut the mad king yelling “burn them all” with the zombies of the north during Bran’s visions scene. And that was right after we found out about Hordor, so the seeds for the theory are there if someone wants it. But it is more fun if they don’t spell it out, so both theories remain equally true. Less is more.

Yeah sure, i can agree with that. I just would dislike it very much if every other big moment in history was influenced by some powerful being. ASOIAF doesn't seem to be the story for that theme.

But Hodor is a unique case, being the only human that Brandon has (so far) warged into. Also if I was interpreting the scene correctly, Bran was only actively warging into Hodor in the present. Past Bran was just standing there and presumably Hodor tripped out because of some kind of "echo" effect of Bran also actively greenseering into that time period.

Low points - night king magically touching bran while he's in a vision and showing up at their cave. Summer randomly jumping on people instead of just running the fuck away with Bran.

Surprise here's Rickon! WTF? How did you find him? Stupid.

No one can get out of the Great Sept hahaha there's like 10 guards here trying to stop everyone hahaha. The fuck

I'm Jon Snow I'm going to charge across the field like an idiot.

I'm thinking that the Arya theatre presentation of Ned's death etc might be foreshadowing for the entire of what we know about Robert's rebellion being no more accurate. They could at the very least have taken advantage of that. It's a bit of a reach at the moment but if the same troupe were to show the abduction and rape of Lyanna then we'd be forced to frame what we "know" about the past in the same light as things we know are false.

That's a really good point. It got me thinking, and it turns out they've used this trope a bit, just never as overtly as this season with the play. It's kind of alluded to in the books with Sam talking to Jon about all the places history must be wrong after reading the library at Castle Black too.

Quite a lot of people assume Lyanna wasn't abducted already, so that could be another revision we see in the later books/series, but we've seen it happen quite a few times already.

The first step in Jaime's rehabilitation is his reveal that he killed Aerys to save King's Landing and not because he was looking out for the Lannister's interests (fwiw, he'll always be the guy who threw a kid out a window to me, and the show compounded this arc by having him murder his own cousin).

Then literally years later we're told that no, Cersei didn't send an assassin after Bran, nor did she have anything to do with Jon Arryn's death. But it's too late, the seeds of conflict from those assumptions have already taken root both in other character actions and how much fans hate Cersei.

So, if they do start talking about Robert's Rebellion (and they certainly have a chance with Dany coming back to confront the 'Usurper and his dogs') it'll be interesting if they start dropping more bombs.

Just a random question, but does anyone know why Balon Greyjoy is referred to as the "Lord Reaper" of the iron islands when the ironborn are in my opinion all about reaving?

As far as I know reaping means to cut or gather crop often with a scythe, presumably also the reason why death is referred to as the Grim Reaper.

I understand the relation of reaping and their words "we do not sow" but still think Lord Reaver would be a more fitting name. Because let's face it.. How far apart are sowing and plowing fields from reaping the harvest? It's still both the work of peasants not really fitting for the ironborn.

Does anyone feel the same way?

when i first heard it, i thought it was derogatory, alluding to the fact that ironborn got rekt by northerners and with their rebellion squashed, were forced to sow, therefore reap.

but on wiki i read its an honorary title, not specifically for balon but for house greyjoy ruling in pyke. so their family motto "we do not sow" plus old saying "You reap what you sow", implies they have to be bad motherfuckers to be able to reap without actually sowing anything...
