Jon is dead. When will you people finally accept it?
When they finally do something with his body and move on--as long as they still have him (or his body at least) around in the show it leaves some room for something, otherwise why even have him/it there still?

Because his death is a pretty important aspect of the show. Something has to be done about it.

Just watched After The Thrones. Not bad, but lacked the charisma and excitement that Hardwick brings to Talking Dead. Since it was only the first episode, I hope the show will get better and more dynamic. Having a live audience I think helps add to the coolness of Talking Dead.

I thought of this while I was driving today. Now that Brianne is on board with Lady Sansa, and Little Finger is playing both Sansa and Cersi, and Cersi and Jamie are going to "take back everything", I feel like somehow Jamie and Brianne are going to wind up having to face each other on opposing sides. It's going to hurt. I just know it.

In typical Game of Thrones fashion, some would have to die. So who dies? :p

Whew! Ramsey is one sick puppy. I figured he'd off his new brother at some point, but not like that.

And Jon Snow breathes!

I was surprised he didn't kill Walda before she gave birth. Wasn't at all surprised to see him kill his father.

Can I now go back and multl-quote everyone in this thread who insisted that Jon was dead so that I can say

I TOLD YOU SO!!!!

I liked it how they handled Jon Snow, for they kind of left the spirit of the books in the TV Show. An I have to say it was kind of a tough day in being a King on Game of Thrones. LOL :D

That was a good episode... Knew he was coming back, lol. Ramsey surprised me though. I thought it was going to go down the other way around.

That part did catch me off guard. I wasn't expecting him to kill Roose, at least this soon anyway. Ramsay sure is no stranger to cruel and unusual punishment/death is he?

---------------------------

What I'm most anxious to see is the Lannister's revenge against the Faith. **** is going to get serious at some point and its going to be great!

Also of interest is what will happen with Tyrion and the two dragons in Meereen. Also what happened to her main dragon Drogon? Last we saw he was injured and not feeling well, but no signs were given (at least that I recall) that he died.

Keep in mind, I've not read the books and only know what HBO has done with the story.

As far as the other two dragons not eating, could it be because no one but Daenerys knows the Valyrian command, "Dracarys," to breathe fire, so they can cook their own food?

I personally think the writers are doing a pretty good job since GRRM has writer's block for what seems to be forever. I hope at least GRRM is consulting with the TV writers otherwise the show will definitely "jump the shark".

He is a total psychopath. The Marquis de Sade ain't got nuthin on Ramsey Bolten.

It doesn't matter, cause for the most part we're beyond the books. For instance, the last book ended with Dany WITH Drogo encountering the Dothraki. They were not separated.

However, I have a brother born on the wrong side of the family, who was losing his hair by 19... :(

I knew a guy in the Marines who at age 18 was completely bald except for a little bit of hair by his ears.

I started losing my hair when 17 or 18, I can't remember exactly, but I do remember I was 18 when, due to this, I started shaving my head.

I don't think so, because they have been in captivity for a long time now (in the books they stopped growing because of their imprisonement) and have been fed by people other than Daenerys most of the time.

He is a total psychopath. The Marquis de Sade ain't got nuthin on Ramsey Bolten.

*Bolton
*Drogon

I agree with you on that for the most part we're beyond the books (Jon being revived, for instance), but then again, there are several stories we are (*were) behind on, like winter finally arriving, the death of Cersei's uncle, Euron killing his brother*, the ironborn's kingsmoot, the horn that brings down the wall, cold hands showing up, Brienne being "killed" by the brotherhood without banners, Sansa pretending to be Littlefingers niece, the plague hitting Mereen hard, etc.

Then again, this stories might never happen because the characters are in different places by now.
