Where is the Tower of Joy? My search always fails on the iPad.

[richtea78]

It's in the Red Moumtains of Dorne

So the fan favourite to die was Shaggydog, aww.

[Halb]

That actually got me...poor old shaggy dog

three dead, three left.

Well they completely teased Tower of Joy...

I guess we'll see inside it eventually, or at least meet (non-flashback/vision) Howland Reed. I'm surprised neither of the Reed kids knew about what happened that day. I guess Bran, Meera & Hodor might head to Greywater Watch once Bran is ready?

Tower of Joy was in it, and we did meet Howland, that was my second fave bit of the ep.

That wasn't Shaggy Dog

The Umber wouldn't kneel, it's a trap. That was a normal wolf head. Osha wasn't scared either.

Shaggy Dog was huge, that head looked small, Ghost was the runt of the litter and he was bigger than that!

If the Umbers have betrayed the Starks I will riot!

How much you wanna bet?

[irocfan]

can't see Rickon lasting more than a couple of epi's - and Osha(?) even less

Not a huge amount given what you probably know!

I don't hold out much hope for Ramsey's favourite toy if Osha gets her teeth anywhere near it.

One annoying thing about this show and it's hardly a spoiler but fk me can they not light he sets better. I can't see half the scenes

Im finding this too, maybe its to stop people like me being smug and recording it at 2am to watch before the 9pm showing. I ended up watching it only 20mins earlier because I couldn't see a bloody thing when it was light out.

Him saying he would have killed his father implies he disagreed with him betraying Robb

You guys need better tv's. Perfectly visible on my old but in its time top of the range, Panasonic CRT.

Never had a problem with the light levels either.

Also, popular fan theory, potential spoilers (although just conjecture really)-

I think The Hound is coming back. Specific mentions this episode of 'Ser Gregor', 'trial by combat' and The Hound being discussed all hint towards Cleganebowl happening.

now the Hound is someone I'd like to see again! Given what Arya said during training there is sufficient doubt in his having carked it to make me optimistic

I dunno this shows never been that kind to the good guys. I hope it isn't shaggy dog but I'd say it is.
For all the previous season's rhetoric about the north will never forget and that it's loyalty towards the starks is diehard, it kind of makes me question now why all those houses are giving up their loyalties.

The moment she left him I knew he'd be back one day. I liked him.

Great episode, Dayne was suitably badass- a joy to watch after the Sand Snakes! I may be misremembering, but wasn't the Sister of Arthur Dayne mega pissed at Ned Stark for bringing back his horse and sword, but not his body? Now we know why!

Also makes him a bit more of a knob slagging off Jamie for his killing of Aerys.

Another good episode. I wonder what the wildlings/Knights Watch will do now? Arya's montage was about as good as I'd hoped for- I wonder what the plan for her is. I can see her having some pretty hard moral tests comming up if she wants to be an assasin- there's not many people left that she really wants to kill anymore.
