i would love to watch 4 episodes of them sitting in a boat. :jerk:

question, why do so many not believe in white walkers when there's a gigantic ice wall and the night's watch?

Why hasn't Cersei's hair grown out yet? Are you telling me that she has chosen to keep that ugly haircut?

The Night's Watch also became the best option outside of death for criminals and rejects in the 7 kingdoms.  It was talked about early in the series how the Night's Watch is small compared to what it was generations before.  All towers used to be heavily fortified and manned.   Up until recently the Night's Watch was really only at Castle Black.

Only thing that's really going bug me, is that if Jon is wandering north of the Wall and they don't include Ghost somehow I'm going to be pissed. I get all the reasons they've avoided using Ghost in the show, but based on the entire character development Jon going into the wild without him is completely un fathomable. Even if they just put some blurry white streaks taking out enemies I'll be a little satisfied, but at least acknowledge that Jon has his own big, badass companion creature.

Or you could craft the story in a more believable way that doesn't involve Jon and other characters repeatedly traversing vast distances in the blink of an eye while an army of the undead advances slower than a glacier. This latest adventure north of the wall is as dumb as Jamie and Bron's adventures in Dorne (also concocted for the show).
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

So Ghost and Nymeria are all that are left? What happened to Bran's dog?

I assume that Ghost was left at Winterfell. Jon just went straight from Dragonstone to East watch so Ghost wouldn't be there with him...

Had to google Jon's "I wish you good fortune" farewell to Dany. Turns it its been used twice earlier in the show, both times between adversaries. Odd choice for a budding alliance.

Couple thousand years makes people skeptical (e.g. Western religions, etc).  Makes sense to me.

It's like watching a B-movie and enjoying it for it being a B-movie at this point


Mich, its like one of the most popular shows ever, with the greatest production quality of any show ever. 

Obviously it's America, and I am not going to tread on you, but you are in the minority here, pal.

Also, it hurts our feelings when you make fun of stuff we love.   :sad:

Ghost and Jon have that Warg bond. It wouldn't be at all out of context for Ghost to just take off and through the wall somehow before Jon. It's more out of character for Jon to just leave Ghost behind while ranging north. That would be like Dany suddenly deciding she was going to just wander into Kings Landing with a couple people while her drangons sunbathed on the beaches of Dragonstone.

I've never seen walking dead. I'm really enjoying season 2 of Mr. Robot though.
