Throne of Games - The Greatest Story Ever Told - Winter is here

Of course you can. Just because something contains elements of the fantastic doesn’t mean the story doesn’t need to be consistent. What would be the fucking point then?

It just goes to show that time isn’t linear, mate.

Yeah maybe. Although he was leading the army all over the seven kingdoms with Baratheon deposing the mad King. You’d have thought he’d have the decent sword.

I imagine he did, but would have thought that his Dad as the Lord would have wielded the family sword.

who really cares.

It didn’t need to be a major plot development, it was clever and dramatic and emotional. A great piece.

Maybe. From the books I always guessed he was the Lord at that point since he was the leader of the north and leading an army. In every other instance it’s the King/head of house that leads the army. Can’t remember if we’re ever told when his father died. Reasonable to assume the warden of the north wouldn’t be holed up in his castle on his tod while the whole place was at war though.

Indeed. However remember that Robb Stark didn’t have Ice when he was leading the armies of The North when his Father was being hald captive in King’s Landing.

Eventually Tywin Lannister had it melted down to make Oathbreaker and Widowmaker if I remember correctly.

he was burnt by the mad king which lead to the ratcheting up of the rebellion

Yep, those cunting Lannisters had confiscated by the time Robb set out. Was sickened it was destroyed.

Was he? Don’t remember that. Ned should have had the sword so. Unless he only took it back at the end of the war.

i’d say he only got it back after the sack of kings landing by the lannisters…

She’s a lovely bit of stuff

Young Hodor rolling around on the ground and everyone in Winterfell saying “watcha doin’, Wyllis?” :grin:

Maybe the point of this is to show that Bran isn’t completely fucking useless and his powers can have an effect on how things play out. He’ll do something yet.

Who was talking about the wolves being clean useless recently? I have to agree at this stage. Another one wasted and fuck all to show for it.

The clue is in the name. Direwolves. If they were called Awesomewolves I’d have an actual issue.

Thought it was a shit episode myself, don’t know what all the fuss was about. The series continues to plod along boringly since the high of season one with Sean bean getting his head chopped off and then the red wedding. A few bits and pieces of highlights afterwards such as the nightwalkers descending on the wall and anything with the dwarf central to it is great but this stuff is far from box office and its grossly overrated. I think in ten years after it ends everyone not yet convinced will look back on it and say yeah that was shit actually.
