But I do like looking up actors in GoT and seeing where they have been, what they have done, and how they have looked in other things for fun. | ||

Intelligent conversations trump everything for me at dinner - personally. | ||

Whenever he talks with someone smarter like Tyrion or Olenna he just limits himself to making threats and giving angry looks. Obviously he is not stupid but I wouldn't say he's extraordinarily smart. Nah. Thing is that it is clear to everyone what Tywin wants -> wealth and power for the Lannister family. In case of Littlefinger (and Varys), noone knows what their motivation is, so noone expects them to act against oneself. Playing the game of thrones with an open hand, no matter how strong that hand is, is a weakness. | ||

What would Tywin have to gain from having Tyrion killed? He hates him, but that's not how Tywin makes decisions. Could Tywin be in on the assassination plan and need someone to frame? Tywin does profit quite a bit from Joffrey's death after all: he stays in power until Tommen comes of age, Tommen is easier to control than Joffrey, and it's some time before the Tyrells gain the title of queen. Tywin is very worried about the debt to the World Bank, and a Lannister always repays their debt. I assume that Tywin has suspicions of who the real killer is (Olenna hinted something of not letting her daughter marry Joffrey and Little finger mentions that it's not Tyrion) but needs the Tyrells aid to help pay the debt so he will keep the accusations on his son who he doesn't much like. | ||

I think Tyrion is a goner, everything points to him dying (I kind of hope I am wrong because he is one of my favorite characters but I am pretty sure he will die). - I think his story has been played out, I'm not sure how much more the family misfit story can be told. - Over the last couple episodes his character has been dissolved. His wife, gone. His squire, gone. His lover, gone. - He needs to die for story continuity (Sansa needs to be able to marry Robin). I guess there are other ways that could lead to that marriage I think Tyrion dying is the simplest way. - It is past time for the Lannisters to start dying. The big revelation in the last episode is Littlefinger's role in everything. At this point in time I assume what he wants is to take the iron throne. Every time he has been asked what he wants (throughout the seasons) he says "everything". I think it was Varys a few episodes who said that all Littlefinger needs now is an army and that seems to be what is developing now, he now controls the Vale and when Sansa marries Robin he will presumably gain allegiances in the north (though at this point I'm not sure what that entails if anything, right now the north is not at all united and the Greyjoys and Boltons hold control, neither of whom would align themselves with LF, and the houses that would be loyal to the Starks just got slaughtered following Rob so I don't know how willing they would be to hop into another war). It seems Stannis is about to get the gold he needs to get an army from the iron bank, there has been a lot of foreshadowing about the Lannisters / the crown and its debt to the iron bank and how the iron bank will support ones enemies in order to get their money back and we saw Davos write to them. At the end of season 3 it seemed that both Stannis and the Red Lady were clear that the north needed to be defended because they got the message from Nights Watch and then saw a vision in the flames, but then most recently in season 4 when Joffrey died Stannis seemed set on attacking King's Landing again. - Something that I've been thinking about is the Red Lady and the Lord of Light. It seems clear to me that the Red Lady is a 'bad guy' or 'evil', with her demon baby and blood magic and human sacrifices and so on. But we are led to believe that the Lord of Light is 'good' (not only from the Red Lady but from the brotherhood). Seems like a bit of a disconnect and I wonder if anything about this will be explained further. - It seems we will have to wait even longer for the Dragons to do anything, in the latest episode Daenerys decided not to sail on King's Landing and instead stay in Slaver's Bay longer -- boring. - I am a bit intrigued about what it is that Bran will find at the tree. At the moment I am inclined to think that it will have to do with his powers, maybe he will discover that he can control more powerful creatures like whitewalkers or even dragons? I hope that is not the case because that would be quite lame if he could do that but I don't know what else would be interesting for him to find, guess we will have to wait and see. - Now that Tyrion and Bronn won't be playing much of a role (I presume) I think Arya and the Hound are my favorite group at the moment. I hope they go to Bravos or something instead of to the Vale. The Hound said that he thinks he will become a sell-sword and I think it would be interesting for Arya to go to Bravos with her ties there (her dancing instructor and the faceless man), and I think her being in the Vale would be boring. - I think the Lannister family will go into a decline and I think the Tyrell's seem most likely to be the strongest and most influential family now. - I don't think the whitewalkers will do anything much this season (again). While we did have that one scene where we saw what seemed to be the leader(s) it just doesn't seem to me like now is the time for them to do anything, if anything we will have to deal with the wildlings first. Anyways those are just some of my random thoughts at the moment. | ||

Edmure Tully Supposedly captive of Walder Frey after the Red Wedding. Who is Lord of Tully in the meantime? Gendry OK, I'm not complaining, it's a long ass boat trip. You can do it Gendry! Nymeria (The Kingbiter) Arya's direwolf, they parted somewhere in the forest. Now being feared by the rest of the forest. Joqen H'ghar Supposedly in Braavos under a different identity. Hopefully Arya pays him a visit to finish off her list! Osha & Rikon No idea what's up with them. Probably forgotten about, even by the writers. Syrio Forel Rumor has it that he is still alive! The Mountain Doing his own thing. Which is probably slaughtering innocents in the Riverlands. Does he even know that he has a rendezvous with Oberyn? Yara Greyjoy On her way to save her beloved brother. Gonna be an awkward reunion! Lord Varys' mage Still in the basement. I hope that he is treated well down there? This could become a major player once he gets freed! Myrcella Waiting in Dorne to be old enough to get married. Surely it is a long wait. Benjen Stark Didn't remember this guy. See entry Syrio Forel. Balon Greyjoy His kids have left, now he's got the run of his place. Is probably worried about Bolton's army. Beric Dondarrion & his Priest buddy Seems like their Brotherhood thing never really took off. The Blackfish Escaped the Red Wedding, rushing into the woods. Let's hope for him he's not gonna run into the Mountain! Roslin Frey Unless her husband escapes, the cutie will be free to have another Red Wedding. Maybe Reek this time? The Dragons The CGI budget, I know. But maybe there is more to it? Did the dragons escape and Daenerys is hiding it? thx, let me know if there are more missing. | ||

They already fooled us in season 2 with Bran and Rickon, wouldn't be surprised to see more unexpected people to be alive. That's why I think/hope Syrio is still alive, I liked the character a lot! Edmund Tally is not as important as Bran and Rickon in the show. Although Rob and Ned are important so what do i know. And there is actually no reason to keep Edmund Tully at all even for story purposes. So i don't really think he is alive. This ain't naruto after all which is a mainstream thing. | ||
