Also I know Kit Harrington isn't always hailed for his acting ability but man his scene in the crypts finding out about his parentage...I don't know how much better he could have performed that scene.

Credit to the writing there too, I wasn't expecting him to get angry at the idea of Ned being a liar.

what i loved was when Sam first tells him, he's standing in front of Ned.
but by the end, he's in front of Lyanna. i like that, a sort of visual shifting of parenthood as you will.

heart broke for him

I think it was a mix of him being angry at Sam for calling Ned a liar and being angry at Ned for lying, like he wasn't sure whether what he was being told was even true or not until Sam added the backstory about Robert wanting to kill Lyanna's kid and Ned protecting him.

Either way I thought that moment was well written and well acted.

@Daisy Jane - regarding Bran and Rickon (from previous thread)

It was known that they were alive after that. Remember Roose Bolton sent Locke to find them after Ramsey told him that it wasn't them that were killed. I would assume Roose would have informed the Lannisters.

 

[Neutrinos]

They made a point of showing Drogon burn Randyll and Dickon alive in the opening

Based on what little we know of him, Dickon seemed like a good guy who had a good relationship with Sam, so I'm wondering if Sam may end up trying to kill Dany for killing his brother

Or at the very least, sabotaging her quest for the throne

Definitely. I'm interested to see how Jon is even taking it in episode 2 as well, and how the rest of his family takes it when they find out.

Same but I felt so much worse for Sam. John Bradley hasn't had a ton of outstanding scenes, but man when he started realizing what happened my heart was breaking from him. I'd say that's his scene of the series so far.

Yea he seemed sad that his father died, but he didn't like his father and his father hated him, so he accepted it and even made a joke about being able to go home. He obviously liked his brother though, and did not take that news well at all as expected.

Probably not well. This is gonna be a massive complication running through episode 2. I don't even think it will resolve itself by the time The Night King shows up.

oohh that's right. hmmm.
maybe that look was "yah i didn't expect to see you right yet." hahaha

Why would he tell them if they hadn't been found?

 

[JackSlater]

That episode was better than I expected at least. Nonsensical compared to the early seasons, but better than most of what we saw in the last season. I'll take it.

 

[Daisy Jane]

that made me cry.
Sam, (my precious bean, do not kill him show),I think always loved his father, regardless of the fact his father had no love for him. He started to cry when he realised he was gone. as well as the fact his brother who was awesomely ....awesome. was murdered for doing what he thought was right and standing by his father. (in a sense - what Ned would always do for Robert, and what Sam would always do for John. standing up for what they believe in and whom they believed in). and Dany had no problems just "dracrys-ing" them. even in the delivery.

like i have to re-watch it. but it basically just read
"Randall Tarly? oh yah I gave him a chance to serve me, he said no, and I killed him. Oh your brother? He stood with your father." then *stare*

like Dany was wrong then (and wrong how she delivered it). my poor baby.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Why would he tell them if they hadn't been found?

this is true. Roose knew.... but..... did Roose tell them (if there was nothing to find?). then they found Rickon. but they still thought Bran was dead.

 

[Jack Straw]

Why would he tell them if they hadn't been found?

Maybe he didn't, we don't know for sure. But it's possible that Jamie would know, the Lannisters had plenty of spies. I guess we'll find out for sure next week.

 

[Blender]

Why would he tell them if they hadn't been found?

I doubt they would tell the Lannisters at all. Roose sent Locke to kill them to secure the Bolton's claim, not to capture them.

 

[HanSolo]

Maybe he didn't, we don't know for sure. But it's possible that Jamie would know, the Lannisters had plenty of spies. I guess we'll find out for sure next week.

Lannister spies would be useless on a character north of the wall.

Besides the Boltons didn't advertise the living status of the Starks to the North.

Sam:

"Your mother was Lyanna Stark. And your father, your real father, was Rhaegar Targaryen. You’ve never been a bastard. You’re Aegon Targaryen, true heir to the Iron Throne. "

Also Sam:

"So I really hope you and Daenerys haven't done anything regrettable yet"

I mean.......I know we're not supposed to be okay with incest at all but like...the Targaryens did it for centuries so like...marriage is still on the table you guys.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

There are five smaller mountains.

Davos was already pushing for this in the episode as well when he was talking to Tyrion and Varys.

 

[Rob]

My guess is the actual battle isn't until episode 3.
