I was wondering who the heck that guy was with the flowers hate when they have to recast characters but oh well

Yeah I imagine there were many people that didn't know who he was. From what I heard, the guy was an asshole on set and then wanted a larger salary so they hired someone else.

I prefer the new Daario to the old one.

Overall solid episode. It's really all a build up to the all kinds of awesome in Ep2.

Me too.

The premiere was fine, but there's a lot of subplots on the show I semi-check out on, until the Lannisters come back on

The next episode should be right up your alley Shack.

Why are they still showing Winterfell in the credits? We haven't seen Winterfell in almost two years. Tyrion needs to get his ass up there and be a proper lord.

Long live the King!

Martin better hurry up with his book. They are already airing material from book 5 for the Ironborn stuff. Seems like the showrunners are building up Ramsey to be the top villian of the show now that Joffrey is gone.

That was a great!!

I don't think anyone wants to get married in Westeros now.

What a great episode, and I am so glad he is gone. I am not sure if it is cruel, but I chuckled during his death scene, was glad to see him suffer, and his bitch of a mother crying.

Tyrion and Sansa had a pretty good wedding by comparison.

This was a great episode Loras Tyrell. He had the best burn, in an episode full of burns, and the biggest laugh when he was caught staring at Oberyn. Though Jack Gleeson has to be MVP for making the most of his last moments on screen. They're trying to build up Ramsay as a replacement, but it won't be the same. A child was just murdered on TV, and nobody will shed any tears. That is Joffrey Baratheon's legacy.

Ramsey will just be a temporary replacement. Really the true replacement later should be .

I am assuming you mean book 7. I am not sure what they will do about that. They could make two seasons out of 6, depending if 6 is like Sword of Storms and not the latter two books. He needs to finish the series because I am afraid he will die like Robert Jordan.

Haven't watched the episode yet but can't wait.

The show isn't waiting for GRRM to pull his finger out - they'll finish before the final book.

I see them doing the following:

Season 5 (2015) - Finish off both Feast and Dance
Season 6 (2016) - Winds of Winter
Season 7 Part 1 (2017) - Finish off Winds of Winter and start A Dream of Spring
Season 7 Part 2 (2018) - Finish off A Dream of Spring

2015 will hopefully (maybe wishful thinking!!) see Winds of Winter - so at least it will come out before the season it will be featured in airs.

It would give GRRM 3 years to finish A Dream of Spring before the story is finished on TV - which really is doable but unlikely due to the time he spends on other projects.

Well remember that Asha/Yara is coming to rescue Theon, which never happened in the book. The show has the luxury of showing events from any characters perspective, not just the POV characters. This leads to a lot of different options when it comes to finishing the story, and also why the books will be interesting even if we know whats going to happen.

Also

I didnt see any female drawves in the battle of the 5 kingdom.

How? It's all stuff from A DANCE WITH DRAGONS.

Not all of it, there is still the big plot thing about . I also don't see Asha succeeding in rescuing Theon since

Best reaction to purple wedding

They probably don't need to show the Kingsmoot

They can cut most of Feast For Crows, actually all they need form FFC is Cersei's storyline.

They will obvious keep Ayra and Sansa's storylines. And I can't see them cutting the Greyjoys. Euron is just too important to the future books.

I doubt they'll cut that much.
