I don't know who she is, but she seems to be some seer since she knows his secrets and tells him where the dragon thief is. This gave me some new hope he might survive his greyscale, maybe he listened to her. Yeah someone posted an img of that around the time it happened. There's a toooooooooon of neat little references like that. Here's a few that I've caught on a rewatch. S1 When Jon is all sad about not being a ranger, Sam says that 'when I was little I wanted to go grow up to be a wizard'. Later on in S3 when Sam is talking with Gilly explaining the existence of the secret passages of the Nightfort Gilly says "You know all that from reading marks on a page? ... You're like a wizard". Not only that, but he's also off to be a Maester where it seems pretty likely he'll forge a link for studying magic and actually become a wizard  In S3 when Dany meets the leaders of the Second Sons one of them says "I think I fucked you in a whore house in Lys. In S5 before Tyrion is abducted in Voltanis he is in a whore house where there is a whore imitating Dany. In S3 Arya says she's going to kill the Hound by stabbing him through the eye. In S5 she does that to Meryn Trant. This is in addition to the obvious ones like Locke and co singing "bear and the maiden fair" the episode before Brienne literally fights a bear in a pit. There was one thing I found curious though, when Varys was speaking with Ned in the dungeon he convinces him to join the watch 'where your bastard son and brother are'. At this point Benjen has been missing for a while and you would expect a man like Varys to be aware of that... | ||

If Eddard thinks his brother is still alive and well at the watch, he might be more inclined to join, as opposed to march off to his inevitable death (Varys, at least, must have known it was inevitable). This fits with Varys' plan of keeping the stability of the kingdom for the time being, until his Targaryen resurrection plans can come into full fruition with Dany, and Varys, like everyone else, was aware that Ned's death meant inevitable war with the North | ||

Arya is sooo sick figuratively and literally rofl Bron you want the good girl but you want the bad pussy. rofl Shame Cersei whatever your plans for the Tyrell backfired wayyy too hard. Actually Cersei's actress what a god . That entire scene is kinda crazy. I assume the big dude is the mountain those poor wildlings and poor stannis losing everything in the end. Also Jon Snow you know nothing ;_; | ||

My favorite forshadowing is in season 1 episode 2 after Jaime has pushed Bran out of the window and talking to Tyrion about Bran surviving but unable to ever walk again, where Jaime says "I'll rarther die than be a cripple" Later on in season 3 = Jaimes sword hand (his WHOLE identity) gets chopped off How is that for poetic fucking justice | ||

I wonder what it has in store for ramsay, roose bolton and walder frey... | ||

The hound was simply having to follow orders from Satan and given he was beaten / tortured by his brother all his life it seemed a rather cruel way for him to go given the only really bad thing we see him do is killing the butcher's boy back in S1E2. Mirri Maz Duur had her entire village raided with the women raped and beaten and even though Dany stopped most of the rape Khal Drogo was the whole reason any of it happened so its perfectly logical she would try to assassinate his baby given her life had pretty much been destroyed by him. Thats more Karma for Drogo than it is for Mirri | ||

Imagine Ned were sitting on the iron throne after Robert's death, and I assume he could something do with Joffreys mind since he was a person that followed his word, almost always, but Cersei.

Mirri Maz Duur had her entire village raided with the women raped and beaten and even though Dany stopped most of the rape Khal Drogo was the whole reason any of it happened so its perfectly logical she would try to assassinate his baby given her life had pretty much been destroyed by him. Thats more Karma for Drogo than it is for Mirri while I can totally see your point, it doesnt convince me at all. how can an innocent, unborn (!) child be held responsible for the actions of his father? and even if one was willing to deem this kind of kin liability moral, it still doesnt make sense in this particular case since each khalasar necessarily will have a khal. murder drogos baby and drogos brother or nephew or some other strong guy will become khal after drogo dies. it is the nature of the dothraki to roam essos pillaging and raping. if anybody can be held responsible for the khalasar raiding mirri's village, its danny (drogo was raiding the village to gather the resources to cross the narrow sea and win the iron throne for his wife) , who immediately got her dose of karma by losing her husband, her unborn child and most of her following. so yeah, maybe mirri was not genuinely a villain, but what she did to danny, drogo and the unborn was certainly evil. she even admits that when talking to danny about the catatonic drogo: she says that she did it because she wanted danny to feel her pain and despair. | ||

Ransay and Joffrey are villains, by just about all definitions of the word. | ||

As I told before, everything is grey, and even Davos used to be a person against the law  On July 02 2015 09:23 Conti wrote: Being a villain does not mean that you can't have any character at all.

Joffrey were more like a puppet of Cersei and Tywin later, while Ramsay will always follow the word of Roose Bolton. Look deeper | ||

Joffrey killed Ned on someone's orders, then made sure the entirety of King's Landing hates his guts due to his sadistic nature because someone ordered him to be like that? Ramsay tortures and kills people for his pleasure on someone's orders? I don't even.. | ||

There are a ton of spoilers going around about book theories and other story lines. Much of what you read online will include a mixture of book and show stuff so be careful. | ||

he literally said to arya: "your pretty sister - I should have fucked her bloody when I had the chance to - that would be at least one good memory." he was obviously taunting arya to make her kill him, but someone who is exhausted and fatally wounded wont on the fly make up thoughts like that out of thin air. at least in the bedroom scene in the blackwater episode, he was clearly aware of sansas beauty and clearly aware that he could do whatever he wants with her. | ||
