    Who holds the real power in Kings Landing now with Tywin dead? I presume Cersei will have the most influence over Tommen but who will be hand of the king?

    Obviously I'm not looking for the actual answer, I'm just interested in what NON-READERS think.

    Has anyone made a "HoThor" joke about Hodor with the hammer?

    In the season preview it's clearly shown that a dragon passes over King's Landing.

    Was this ever actually shown this season? Even in a dream or some such?

    Ha i forgot Littlefinger said "some even die on their chamber pot".

    All the previous finales have kind of been wrap ups and tie ups of loose ends. This one just blew every thing apart, meaning a 10 month wait is way too much.

    Where did Stannis find a cavalry and how did he find his way north unbeknownest to the Boltons, did he buy out some northern houses with his Bravosi money?

    He sailed up to the Wall. Way out of Roose's sight. Then probably walked along the wall.

    Reckon Bran is this old megawarg's replacement. Remember hearing about the
    children of the forest
    in the lore animations. The Starks follow the old gods that these guys also follow.

    King's Landing looking somewhat in disarray, funny to think that if Daeny or Stannis wanted to make a move, now would be the best time but they've both averted their attention this season. Reckon Stannis might recruit the Wildling army in return for allowing them south of the wall.

    Hound Brienne fight was brootul. Quite enjoyed it really even though I didn't want either to fall. F*cking hell Pod, do you ever not f*ck up?

    Tyrion, good for you bro.

    Jon's surely in line for Lord Commander at this stage?

    It was in Bran's vision when he touched the weirwood and saw where he had to go.

    I don't know why Arya and the hound weren't let into the Vale when the guards told her Lysa was dead

    I wondered about this, too. I guess they didn't believe that she was really Lysa's niece after she burst out laughing. Still, you would have thought that they'd bring her to Littlefinger, just in case. I wouldn't imagine he'd be too pleased that they let her go, if he ever finds out.

    No Sign of Alliser Thorne at the funeral for the fallen Night's watch. Surely he didn't get an offscreen death after his blatant badassery in the previous ep?

    couldn't the black watch do with help defending the kingdoms from the white walkers, we'll let you in as long as you help defend the wall seems like the most obvious deal


    and did I miss a episode where yerman actually got the money for his army?

    If he'd died, it would have shown you his body on the pyre (like you saw Pyp and Grenn). He'll be back.

    No real leader in Kings Landing now. Cersei is probably in charge and all weddings with the Tyrells are off (I assume from the conversation with Tywin). Cant imagine the grandmother being happy with that.

    Stannis and Davos went to Bravos (probably spelt those wrong) and convinced the iron bank to give them money. No idea why or how they got north of the wall though.

    If they get the daughter back from Dorne maybe they can keep things going in the Targarian way.

    Sorry if it's a silly question but I can't remember what the story is. Dany chains up two dragons, where's the third? Is it implied that the third dragon has gone rogue or what?

    Yeah, they don't know exactly where he is, but there have been sightings. I think they're hoping he'll show up, but I think it's implied that he is probably going his own way

    That was epic, the fight between Brienne and the Hound was the highlight.

    I reckon Tyrion is heading in Daenerys' general direction, doesn't Varys have his 'little birdies' there?

    So what does she hope to achieve by chaining up the other two dragons,stopping them going their own way too?

    They were becoming too dangerous to leave loose. Earlier in the series, we saw them barbequing a herd of goats and during the last episode we saw the poor guy holding his dead daughter in his arms, also a victim of the dragons.

    Daenerys had no choice but to chain them up after that.

    Well, presumably it's to stop them from killing people. Previously they had killed a civilian's livestock, and then in this episode we saw that they killed a man's child. She clearly can't control them at all times, especially as they get bigger and start to branch out. Jorah told her in a previous episode that dragons can never truly be tamed. The only way to ensure that they don't kill people is to chain them up.

    I find it a bit of a pity that most of the characters that made the kings landing portion of the story have now left that location or been killed off in the show. Also Arya without the hound and Dany without Jorah- doesn't seem right.

    One thing im scratching my head over is why did Stannis and his army land north of the wall.
    He must of known he would struggle to get past the wall not unless he is in cahoots with someone else
    Couldn't wrap my head around this at all. If Stannis can get thousands of horsemen around the wall, why can wildlings manage it whenever they feel like it?
    Why was he up there anyway?
