Yeh I think that's what they want us to think but I also think he's going to take him to Daenerys.

An interesting point, a double twist if you will. I hope you are right, I would say (touching all the wood in a forest) that I can't imagine "the imp" being killed, he is by far and away the best character in this....

I think the key was the way he said "I'm taking you to the queen" when of course Cersai is the queen mother.

it will be interesting to see what happens with Stannis's March on the North and the retaking of Winterfell.

His right hand mand did seem to put the interpretation of the Nights watch vows into question with Jon Snow so maybe he will follow and reclaim the lord stark of winterfell title.

I'm thinking we'll see a March south then around about the same time the Mother of dragons starts to move how that will turn out though i'm not sure.....

Hang on a bleeping freaking, fecking moment.

Osha and Rickon left Bran and Hodor to go to Castle Black, in the meantime Bran Hodor, Jojen and Meera have gone through the Wall (meeting Sam and Gilly, who were also going to Castle Black) up to Craster's Keep seeing Jon and then going on much further north. Jon has been shot by arrows, defended Castle Black and seen off the Wilding attack.

Have Osha and Rickon got lost?

Osha mentioned Last Hearth as a place to possibly take Rickon, not Castle Black. wink

They didn't. Originally the whole group were going to Castle Black, but when Bran, Hodor and all decided to go north they went off to another town. I can't remember the name but they were Stark Banner men.

Did anyone make any significance of the line by the old woman servant to Sansa 'the North remembers'?

Clearly she knows who Sansa is, but could it be more significant, perhaps that the Boltons aren't as safe in the North as they may think?

Thought it was a great episode though, Jon owned it to be honest, definitely made the right decisions. And the tension between Margery and Cersei was brilliant.

I wouldn't for a second think Cersei will allow that to go unpunished though. She many be losing her 'official' power but she's not one to play by the rules, remember how she ripped up the Ned's note he'd written of King Roberts dying words as Joffrey sat on the throne?

I reckon Cersei will send Franken-Mountain to pay Marge a visit in the night laugh

Pretty much hit the nail on the head. The Boltons allied with the Lannisters, who had already chopped Ned's head off, then killed off Rob & Co effectively ending the Starks, as far as the general populace is concerned.

The Starks were pretty popular, so the people are going to be pissed off, also Roose & Co are a nasty bunch. Should Sansa decide to rise up, many people will back her over the Boltons.

Just been watching an older episode when Robb Stark arrives at Harrenhall to find all the dead Northmen after the Lannister army had left. Everyone is dead apart from some old Maester...

I didn't realise at the time, but I think it was Cersei's new best friend who's now looking after the Mountain. Was he a Lannister plant in Robbs army? Or did he just find himself down south?

He recovered when Robb's army arrived and he left Harranhal with Bolton's men to whatever Castle they went to, there he met Brienne and Jaime when they were brought to Bolton's place (Bear and the Maiden Fair episode). He fixed Jaime's hand and then he left with him to King's Landing.

I don't think they're under the illusion they're safe, they'd be very stupid to think that. That said, on a continent where slavery is still omnipresent, what do the words of a servant mean? I did fear for a second Sansa would be back to her old ways and tell her new husband to be or Littlefinger about the servant woman.

Loved that scene, as I said, that wine line was a punch to the face.
Cersei is deffo pissed but maybe she'll just try to win Margery now as she felt that she already lost (Tommen asking her why she doesn't go back to Casterly Rock), realising that antagonising Margery will eventually lead to her not seeing her only son anymore. I thought that was what that scene showed, Cersei biting her tongue off and saying "anything you need" instead of "I'll make that smirk into a glasgow smile you pedofile ".

She's only meant to be the same age as Sansa, so @ 15/16

biggrin I know, I'm just jealous of that 16yr old boy with the 32 year old woman. She should find someone her own age, I'm sure there'll be a candidate somewhere whistle

Why?

They are all just kids; her & Sansa (15/16), Arya (13/14), Bran (9), Jon (17), Rob & Theon (18), Rickon (4), Tommen (9), Myrcella (11), Joffrey (14)

That's shocking, I never realised they were so young. None of them look anywhere near that.
