    Well, fighting against Targaryens is sort of their thing, so... *shrug*

    BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!

    At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

    Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

      It makes me worry that the Aegon storyline will be introduced, and I think it is way too late to introduce that story with 6 episodes left. Won't go into more detail, since that would actually be a book spoiler.

        I think we're done with any introducing. The final six episodes are going to be all tying up loose ends and killing people, and that is just peachy. MOAR DEATH PLZ!

        We should have a "who lives" contest. List say the 25 most important currently "living" (Jon Snow and the Night King count) characters and pick which ones are still in operational order when the last episode ends. No book learnin' allowed.

        I'm a tyro compared to some here, but I'll do it as a multiselect poll if we can agree on a list.

        Daenerys Targaryen
        Jon Snow / Aegon Targaryen
        Tyrion Lannister
        Cersei Lannister
        Jaime Lannister
        Sansa Stark
        Arya Stark
        Bran Stark
        Jorah Mormont
        Sandor "The Hound" Clegane*
        Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane*
        Gendry (uh... Baratheon?)
        Samwell Tarly
        Theon Greyjoy
        Bronn (Jaime's bromance)
        Varys (the bald adviser)
        Tormund Giantsbane
        Brienne of Tarth
        Missandei (Dany's slave lady)
        Melisandre (the red witch hottie)


        I love that "Cleganebowl" is a thing now.

          So LOTR is on TV these days more than Shawshank and while I avoid it, the wife is often watching little segments.

          It came up as to whether Ned reminds me of Boromir or vice versa as we are also currently watching GoT season 1.

          We both agreed that they don't other than the obvious superficial, hey that's Sean Bean.

          That's a credit to the actor imo coz they really are played as different characters.


          Yeah… it's gonna be a long 18 months in this thread.


          Love me some Sean Bean btw.

            I had no idea they were played by the same actor. Very nice job by Bean.

            The next 18 months are going to be awful other than the Cornell national championship.

              Gendry's last name would be Waters if he was recognized as a bastard of Robert. But he never was, so I guess he just doesn't have a surname.

                Cornell?

                That's your program?

                I still break out in cold sweat when I think of Cornell and the 2006 Regional.

                    I think he'd still be Gendry Waters though. He has a surname, he just has never gone by it before.

                    Another should have been obvious hint to Jon's mother's identity, all the way back in the first moments of episode 1, was that his name was Jon SNOW. The bastard name follows the homeland of the mother, so that should have told us right away that Jon's mother was from the north. If his mother was some of the other rumored women, he'd have been Jon Sand, or Jon Rivers.

                      I thought it just followed where they were born, which is why Bran thought his name should actually be Jon Sand. Maybe another difference between the books and the show? I have no idea.

                        I figured it was Snow because Ned openly claimed him as his bastard but never told anyone who the "mother" was or where she came from.
