Paid Members LaGoosh Posted April 10, 2014 Paid Members Posted April 10, 2014 My opinion of all this white walker stuff is that while it's pretty cool I don't actually give too much of a shit. The politics, treachery and backstabbing of Westeros is a billion times more interesting than zombies. If anything it drags the show down a little bit, because the white walkers just don't fit seamlessly into any of the storylines except the ones based at The Wall. I'd find it hard to take seriously a scene where Cercei and Joffrey are running away from white walkers for example.

I hear that, but i fear thats where it will head, everyone will stop fighting each other to fight them. Joffrey Being eaten alive would be a nice end to the mad little shit mind.
deathrey Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I finally got around to watching this last night I wasn't disappointed! Arya and The Hound are a great combo, my favourite pairing so far I think. I get a feeling I'm really going to love Oberyn Martell.
Magnum Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Question: What was it that Tywin took the sword out of and then hoyed in the fire at the beginning? At first it looked like a big direwolf's head, like the one that was stitched to Robb's body, but when he chucked it in the fire it looked like a much smaller animal.

It was a direwolf pelt, the sword that was melted down was 'Ice', Ned Starks sword. The whole scene was Tywin symbolically putting an end to the Stark threat - he think Sansa is the only Stark left and she is now his.

deathrey Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Arya is lost, and presumed dead, Bran and Rickon are presumed to have burnt to death courtesy of Theon, Robb is dead and Jon is a bastard. Edited April 10, 2014 by deathrey
Magnum Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Cheers. I've seen that episode umpteen times, but never clocked Ned's scabbard.
Mr_Danger Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 If the white walkers story doesn't end with a naked Dany riding her fleet of dragons over them whilst barbecuing them before a dragon eats Joffrey's head then I'll be very disappointed.
Pier Six Brawler Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 How old is Arya supposed to be at this point? 12? How much time is supposed to have passed between the opening episode and latest one?
Paid Members PunkStep Posted April 12, 2014 Paid Members Posted April 12, 2014 I don't think much time, if any, has passed between the end of the last series and the first episode of the current one. Of course, the kids in reality are a year older so they look quite different.
Magnum Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 I'd put TV show Arya at about 14. With Sansa/Joffrey at around the 17/18 mark, that seems about right.
deathrey Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) In series 4 Arya is meant to be about 14. Sansa is about 15/16, and Joffery is 19 according to the Game of Thrones wiki page. Edited April 12, 2014 by deathrey
