Where you going ? Off to catch up on 'The Vampire Diaries' or something i'm guessing ? Probably far less boring for you than a classic episode of Game of Thrones.

I suspected there must have just been a couple of nay-sayers because i couldn't possibly imagine a GOT die-hard not thoroughly enjoying such a great episode!

Uprisings, conquered Empires, revelations, quests, oaths, Valyrian steel and White Walkers...........all in one episode! That's not what i call a boring episode.

Ok, don't even get me started

The conquering and uprising was boring as ****, in the books it was done as a flashback, they could have quite easily had a massive battle which could have stretched 2 episodes AT LEAST and lord knows they need to do that because Daenerys' storyline turns to **** for the rest of the season so don't act like that was something exciting, because it wasn't

The revelation about her killing jofferey was done well but because i've read the books it wasn't a surprise

Valryian steel is irrelevant, if you get excited by that you might want to get yourself checked out

They've deviated massively regarding Jon and Brans storylines which is unnecessary, so no in my opinion it was a boring episode considering what could have gone into it

----
The “Oathkeeper” episode delivered an all-time high of 6.9 million viewers.

That edges out the show’s previous best set earlier this season. Across three plays, Thrones totaled 8.4 million viewers.

ratings just keep going up and up, wouldn't be surprised if they hit 7.5 million (perhaps even 8) for the season finale

[MTVN]

Yeah was hardly like a major dramatic conquering, it was just Grey Worm dumping a few bags of sword down, one guy getting killed, then next thing you know she's in control of the city

It was an alright episode though not amazing, least the stuff in the north is finally getting somewhere

[Locke.]

Thought that was a brilliant episode, best of the season so far.

Surprised they've put Locke in the Night's Watch, not sure what the end game there could possibly be? And the Bran storyline is probably the most important in the entire show, just not the most action packed. Massive change from the books having them captured at Craster's Keep but it seems like it will be interesting so I'm fine with that.. Hopefully Jon kills that little bastard Rast and that Karl as well next week.

Oh, the white walker stuff at the end was brilliant as well. Really theatrical scene.

[Ramsay]

[MTVN]

[Novo]

Those whitewalkers won't know what has hit them soon, they'll be begging for mercy and asking for forgiveness

[Locke.]

Stannis getting destroyed by that baby white walker it will be like Tyrion at the Blackwater all over again

[Josy]

I enjoyed the episode, thought it was really good apart from Dany's parts again, can't her dragons just chew her up or something and be done with it

Was shocked when Bran and that lot were captured at Craster's but hmmm we will see where they go from there..

Still not keen on the way the are adapting Jon's story though but i'm hoping they have some good ideas in mind.

This might be a book spoiler idk

Spoiler:

Also confused at Sam having already told Jon about Bran? that never happened in the books did it?

[Locke.]

So its been confirmed then that this is the Night's King (http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Night's_King)...



Pretty big spoiler from the unreleased books.. Guess we're already at the stage of them moving past the books in certain parts

[Locke.]

Book spoilers

Spoiler:

Just read this on westeros.org

There are huge implications from this revelation:

Other (pun intended) things to consider:

-HBO confirmed the Other at the end was the Night's King

-The Night's King was in a line of 13 of these "ruling" Others.

-The Night's King was the 13th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch

This raises the question, do past Lord Commanders of the Watch become these ruling class of Others (or at least until the Night's King did)? This episode seems to imply so. This in turn raises the question, is the entire Watch a sham? Is the Watch itself a pawn of the Others? Was the wall really erected to protect Westeros from the Others or is it their own creation? If so, was Bran the Builder an Other, and if so is the entire Stark line descended from the White Walkers? If that's so, then maybe Jon as the Great Other reborn and Dany as Azor Ahai reborn is confirmed from just this one scene. Will Melisandre try to bring back Jon in TWOW, only to have him be reborn a White Walker? There are huge, plot-shattering implications from this simple short show spoiler.

This was stuff that book readers were not meant to see. It's spoiler territory. But HBO gonna HBO, and the show was bound to pass the books eventually given the speed of GRRM's writing.

[Smithy]

No Josy is wasn't in the books

and surprised they've brought that in so soon, wasn't really necessary at all imo

[Locke.]

****, Jon is

Spoiler:

Lord Commander

and the brother of the King in the North as well

[JTM45]

I think Tommen thought he was in for the night of his life for a minute there!
My god, Natalie Dormer is soooooo *****ing HOT!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see her in THG Mockingjay with her sexy semi-shaved head and all.

I loved seeing Jaimie and Brienne get some screen-time together again too. I really like the side of his character she brings out that nobody else seems to. If anyone will get the job done it's Brienne. She's a true Warrior and it's great to see such a unequivocally strong female character in a TV show. I hope she'll feature a lot more in later episodes/seasons!

I'm interested to see exactly what that sneaky Locke character is up to now he's wormed his way into the Knight's Watch and alongside John Snow. He's obviously behaving in decidedly surreptitious and devious manner by the looks of things. Hopefully he'll bump into Brienne again at some point but on a one to one level this time and she'll show him what's what.

I loved the footage where Dany was standing atop that pyramid after the city had been overthrown with the Targaryen banner draped over their old statue and the camera panned out and away from her showing the epic scale of the whole scene. She's another amazing character in the whole saga who just keeps on getting better with every new Season (and pretty much every episode she's featured in). Love her!!!!!

One of the best (if not THE best) episode of the Season so far and i think it was a pivotal episode that should make for an exciting and action-packed second half to this Season!

I kinda' wish they could have somehow done the White Walkers without using CGI (going down the oldschool Sam Winston type of method of using 'real' creatures and monsters) because , although they do still look effective, they looked undeniably CGI'd.
It's a minor gripe on the whole though in what's been probably the best serialized TV fantasy show ever created (in my opinion at least!).

Brilliant, brilliant show!!!!!

let's take a moment to honor the gawd Petyr Baelish

That Dany scene though

feel like I am watching a cheesy 80s fantasy movie

if only the great Viserys would have lived.

Yeah I have no time for Dany's scenes lately, a lot of her dialogue or at least the way she acts it out is very cringey now IMO.

[Roy Mars III]

I did like that kill the masters scene since it was basically ripped off from the Spartacus tv show

[Shaun]

Just watching now

Quite a few of the scenes are very cheesy (the obligatory O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN moment with Jon's plan for Crasters) but I liked it a lot... and now I can ship Brienne with someone far more likeable than a rapist

[Shaun]

and you just know Tommen discovered masturbation in that episode

[Shaun]

Ooh crikey. All this ice stuff is quite creepy (in an awesome way). Makes me want to rewatch Frozen just to balance it out.
