This is just a thought - something to look out for:
In the previous episode to "The Rains of Castamere"
The red witch lady takes blood from Robert Baratheon's bastard son to cast a "spell" I guess you can call it, as a demo or as proof of her power, that the blood and life of this young kid can give him the kingdom. She uses leeches to take the blood, three of them, and with each leech Stanis throws into the fire, he names a name, preceded with the word "usurper."
The names were those three which were the greatest threat to Stanis, the biggest hurdles on his way to the throne. These were Rob Stark, Geoffry Barathron, and Balon Greyjoy.
In the latest episode - I am thinking we got to see the power of this spell at work, and in the coming episode we can look forward to seeing how the rest of that will work out. We saw Bolton give Jaime back to the Lanisters as long as it was agreed that he had nothing to do with Jaime's maiming. It is a sort of foreshadowing technique that I think us in play with the Tyrell's at King's Landing. They do have some plot or plans within plans as how to take over the kingdom. Of course Margaery Tyrell has no intention of being Geoffrey's Queen for the rest of her life. The fact that Olenna Redwyne from House Tyrell was so curious about Geoffrey as to get Sansa Stark out in private to seek out information about him is particularly suspicious. Then there were the plans for Little Finger to marry Sansa himself by taking her away with him on a ship. That later part was most likely a red herring or a diversion for both the viewer and the Lanisters. If they believe they know what the Tyrell's and their allies are up to, and believe they have thwarted their plans, it gives them a false sense of security. Then - at the right moment, the plans within plans can unravel, and on top of it all will be Little Finger and the Tyrell's. Theon's mystery torturer I think will also be revealed as his father is implicated in the aforementioned "spell" and his freedom might have something to do with his father's death. I only mention his freedom because I don't see the sense of protracting the phase of his torture if he did not have some larger role in the future. I could be wrong, he could just be a piece in a play to get at Balon Greyjoy.
All just things to keep in mind as the finale comes shortly. At the same time however, I think that only 2/3 of the people in the spell will actually die. I think that Geoffrey will lose his crown, but I think that he will escape alive, bringing at least some doubts to the power of the red lady witch.
Thoughts on this or does anybody see something off with this analysis?
Thanks for you thoughts before hand.


Couple things:
1. It's Joffrey. Not Geoffrey.
2. The three leeches represented the "false kings" not the biggest threats. According to Stannis, Joffrey is a false king (not Robert's true son), Robb's claim is treasonous and Balon has claimed he is king of the Iron Islands, which Stannis also would dispute. So Melisandre is throwing three leeches on the fire, representing the three false kings.
3. Formatting man! Your post is a mess. Use indents.


The fact that he says Geoffrey and not Joffrey means he reads the books and I'm not going to read his "speculation".


If anything I assume those who say Geoffrey *havent* read the books, generally speaking. you expect those who have to be more familiar with the odd spellings than the show watcher.

He spelt everything else right and has enough knowledge to do a lengthy speculation. He knows how to spell a main characters name.

Hate to burst your bubble, but the names are the same in the books and tv show. If anything, it means he doesnt read.

You are correct. It's never spelled Geoffrey apparently and he just doesn't know how to spell his name lol.

I've just become too paranoid with people doing essays on their speculation. I see something weird and immediately stop reading because half the people who post here have read the books :/

Honestly all this magic's getting to be too much for me. I liked the realpolitik atmosphere season 1 had for the most part, now it seems people everywhere are resorting to magical means to further themselves.


By far the most important event of season, the betrayal at the wedding, has nothing to do with magic. Just good old political scheming and betrayal.

Dany's storyline, the most fantasy like of all, is not even having that much magic in it right now other than dragons. Just military conflict.

In the north it's the wildlings vs the NW and we've seen a single white walker and a few creppy crows with limited plot relevance.

Then we have Melissandre and the leeches, she burned three and so far one of the victims has died. But I can't believe she actually caused Robb's death, the betrayal was probably in the works for quite some time and she just recentrly burned the leeches. If anything I think she saw it in the flames and it's using the opportunity to consolidate her power by making everyone think she's even more power than she actually has. Which seem to me a lot like realpolitik : P.


I do like the wedding and the Robb story overall because of this. It is all medieval warfare and politics. Dany right now is a Genghis Khan and I guess other than the dragons it's pretty cool. They're only acting like a army magnet right now so it's all good.

Melisandre pulls it well since other than the shadow queef we have no indication of her actually manipulating the events by magic. Your points on her are correct.

But I absolutely hate the direction the Bran storyline is going in, cavorting around and learning how to possess animals and accidentally possessing Hodor, as well as the Orell guy. And the white walkers serve as a good motivation for the series events to take place but I hate the part of the story actually concerning them. This is not a horror show and none of it should try to resemble one. Sam can die for all I care (but he won't because the story is very unresolved), and it seems to me like making the Wildlings stronger/more equippeepd and making them the invading force instead of the White Walkers would suffice.


We will relay the message that Sam can die and this isn't a horror show and that none of it should try and resemble one to George RR Martin immediately.

She uses leeches to take the blood, three of them, and with each leech Stanis throws into the fire, he names a name, preceded with the word "usurper."
The names were those three which were the greatest threat to Stanis, the biggest hurdles on his wiay to the throne. These were Rob Stark, Geoffry Barathron, and Balon Greyjoy.
In the latest episode - I am thinking we got to see the power of this spell at work, and in the coming episode we can look forward to seeing how the rest of that will work out. We saw Bolton give Jaime back to the Lanisters as long as it was agreed that he had nothing to do with Jaime's maiming. It is a sort of foreshadowing technique that I think us in play with the Tyrell's at King's Landing. They do have some plot or plans within plans as how to take over the kingdom. Of course Margaery Tyrell has no intention of being Geoffrey's Queen for the rest of her life. The fact that Olenna Redwyne from House Tyrell was so curious about Geoffrey as to get Sansa Stark out in private to seek out information about him is particularly suspicious. Then there were the plans for Little Finger to marry Sansa himself by taking her away with him on a ship. That later part was most likely a red herring or a diversion for both the viewer and the Lanisters. If they believe they know what the Tyrell's and their allies are up to, and believe they have thwarted their plans, it gives them a false sense of security. Then - at the right moment, the plans within plans can unravel, and on top of it all will be Little Finger and the Tyrell's. Theon's mystery torturer I think will also be revealed as his father is implicated in the aforementioned "spell" and his freedom might have something to do with his father's death. I only mention his freedom because I don't see the sense of protracting the phase of his torture if he did not have some larger role in the future. I could be wrong, he could just be a piece in a play to get at Balon Greyjoy.
All just things to keep in mind as the finale comes shortly. At the same time however, I think that only 2/3 of the people in the spell will actually die. I think that Geoffrey will lose his crown, but I think that he will escape alive, bringing at least some doubts to the power of the red lady witch.
Thoughts on this or does anybody see something off with this analysis?
Thanks for you thoughts before hand.


Couple things:
1. It's Joffrey. Not Geoffrey.
2. The three leeches represented the "false kings" not the biggest threats. According to Stannis, Joffrey is a false king (not Robert's true son), Robb's claim is treasonous and Balon has claimed he is king of the Iron Islands, which Stannis also would dispute. So Melisandre is throwing three leeches on the fire, representing the three false kings.
3. Formatting man! Your post is a mess. Use indents.


The fact that he says Geoffrey and not Joffrey means he reads the books and I'm not going to read his "speculation".


If anything I assume those who say Geoffrey *havent* read the books, generally speaking. you expect those who have to be more familiar with the odd spellings than the show watcher.


He spelt everything else right and has enough knowledge to do a lengthy speculation. He knows how to spell a main characters name.

He didn't even spell everything else right, he had other names spelled wrong.

Little Finger had me cringing.

There should be a PSA at the top or something with the correct spelling of difficult names, lol. There have been some pretty bad ones, with Carl Drogo taking the cake for funniest, imo.

Melissandre is also a commonly misspelled one.

Along with Juhn (you know nothing) Snuuuuuh.

For the sake of our lives, people shorten Daenerys, or it would be a case of study too.

You just have to think that if the spelling of the name you are writing makes the most sense, it's probally wrong. Virtually every name has a weird quirk, so you can't really blame people that aren't watching with subtitles.

Case study. ; )

Also, DVD speculation, but I'm expecting a history and lore segment on the Lord of Light, given it's growing prominence in the series (BWB and Beric). Both an Old Gods and Seven segment is out.

I like the politics in the story, but I am a bit unsure of the dragons and the magical things in the story.

For actual solid reports I feel as if the 2 week is to lenient.. I mean do we really want, in general, people on Team Liquid that will go into threads and spoiler things maliciously?

I'm thinking 30 days to set an example for reports that mods know are spoilers and 2 weeks for "maybe". That's just me though, I was lucky enough not to spot the spoiler.
