    What was the point of having that singer lad shoe horned in? I kinda takes me out seeing someone I recognise. I hope the rumours of McGregor being in it are false.

    With only seven episodes this season I was disappointed with this as it was basically just a recap. I think I'm going to enjoy Euron though.

    Did we know who Clegane buried? He said "not really" when asked if he knew them

    I presumed it was the father and daughter he stole from.

    Earlier he went into their house and took some food and said they wouldn't be alive come winter anyway or similar.

    They've had a couple of celebrity cameos in it before iirc, one of the lads from Coldplay was in the red wedding scene. Ed sheeran cameo was very in your face however, I didn't mind it anyways.

    So wonder which episode the wall will fall in? Grand Maester kept saying it never fell, plus Bran has mark of the knights king and went through so that will make some sort of difference.

    Final episode of the season is my guess.

    Sigur Ros sing the Rains of Castlemere at the purple wedding.

    Gary Lightbody (of snore patrol) sings the Bear and the Maiden fair with the rest of the Bolton crew when they captured Jamie and Brienne

    Yeah but they weren't front and centre on screen like Ed was. Feel like it jumped shark delving into celebrity

    Think everyone's forgetting the biggest popstar appearance, half of Robson and Jerome :)

    Ed Sheeran was a surprise, but what about the start, Arya is a faceless warrior.
    Cersei being paranoid about their enemies and rightly so.
    Sansa being more and more like Cersei with the coldness towards anyone perceived to have done them wrong.
    Sam sending a message to Jon Snow about dragonstone which no doubt will be massive.
    One could go on but it was a great episode.

    Only the second ep to have an intro before main credits?? For the sane reason as the last line I remember I'd imagine?

    No difference to Sigur Ros playing at Joffreys Wedding tbh, they just do it for publicity.

    Liked the opening episode overall, nothing hugely dramatic but sets the season up nicely I thought.

    Do we know why Jorah is locked up, or presume it's just for the greyscale.

    Not really the same. I'm a big Sigur Ros fan but didn't recognise them. I can't say the same for the biggest singer/song-writer in the world. Personally I think it added nothing and slightly took away.

    Maybe he's hoping they can cure him and turn himself in to be experimented on with possible cures?

    still feel a bit sick when i think about the the scenes in the Citadel when sam is doing all the work and when he is in the room where the autopsey is taking place

    overall good episode and everything is slowly starting too gel together ???
    was dragonstone empty or are they still villagers there ??

    It'll probably turn out to be dragon glass mineral that cures it, meaning all roads lead to Dragonstone.

    Thought Stannis said he brought in maesters and healers from all over the world to heal her? So if Jorah can be healed, being in Oldtown is his best bet.

    That Ed Sheeran cameo was a truly awful decision. It was really pushed into your face.

    Yes it wasn't the first cameo but it was so forced and really took way from the episode I thought.

    Hopefully not. But I'd worry after something like that. They've had cameos before, as we all know, but to actually give him a speaking part and to have him sing... Jesus Christ. Completely took me out of that scene. What was the point other than to make you say, oh look, Ed Sheeran - and that's worrying.

    Aside from that I thought it was a good, if unspectacular, start. Showing you where all the pieces are positioned on the board. Highlight was the ****/stew montage.

    Did the Hound not see the white walkers going around the wall when he was looking in the fire? At some castle?
