Not a fan of musicals in general but a White Walker musical number is something I'd like to see.

There's an R in pRetre. And that doesn't excuse you from having to spoil book spoilers.

**d-usa**

Very nicely done comic, for people who want some more background on the last episode:

The duel as described in the books, depicted by a talented artist named Jeff McComsey:

That was better than the show, If only they had that in the show....

**Pacific**

I thought it was absolutely wonderfully shot. Quantity doesn't always equal quality.

This show certainly likes to slap the viewers around the face every now and again, me and the people watching it sat in stunned silence when the credits came up

**gianlucafiorentini123**

I read the fight in book last night and the fight comes across better in the show, the speed at which Gregor takes him down just doesn't work as well in writing. The only part I wish they'd kept in was the part when Gregor starts shouting about his head hurting, really loved that part.

Is there any chance ''The Children'' could refer to

Why? Jon has taken the black meaning even if he was legitimised he couldn't inherit any titles or positions

Besides what's Stannis's motivation? Unless he just wants to piss of the Boltons

Aaaaanyways. I thought the Children thing was obvious. I think applying it to Tywin is stretching a bit.

I disagree.

Spoiler:

-Jaime defies his father by freeing Tyrion.

-Tyrion kills Tywin. This is the culmination of their difficult relationship. Tywin has always treated Tyrion with contempt, and Tyrion has suffered years of abuse and neglect until finally he kills his father.

-Cersei deals with the fallout of her father's death and funeral (though this will probably be early Season 5).

The Lannister children will be involved in some way, I think.

Well I agree with that.

Hopefully it will focus on....

Also this will the longest episode of the entire series.

So These will contain alot of spoilers AVOID MY POST PEOPLE!

Spoiler:

The Children of the Forest, Bran becoming a Green Seer,

Us Meeting Aegon the new Dragon of the Targaryen,

Jon snow gets saved by Stannis Baratheon,

Arya Kills the Hound (Well leaves him for dead)

Beric Dondarion risks his life and makes Lady Stone Heart,

And we get the wonderful actress Michelle Fairley to replay her part of Catelyn Stark

Brienne meets Gendry.

Cameo of the White Walkers, And Elsa... (Let it go LET IT GO)

Tyrion killing Tywin, Jamie letting Tyrion go, (LET IT GO LET IT GOOOOOOOOO,)

Sorry Just watched Frozen yesterday haha

So many horrible plot lines to come :( - Children of the forest - they might as well as had bloody Ewoks.

Chance? Sure.

Realistically, no. It is WAY to early for that. I think that plotline is next season.

As to 'how'

Spoiler:

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

Heres an alternate ending to Episode 8.

I've come to believe that the Lannister cousin who smashed beetles is George Martin in Westeros. His mind wanders through the multiverse crafting stories, making him appear deceptively simple. However there is one constant of Martin's mind through out the multiverse. In every story he crafts, be it on pen and paper or with a line of beetles... So many have to die...

**thenoobbomb**

Hadn't read Zond's post, but that were pretty much my initial thoughts

Or for it to be arranged so that it played a song or something. Simply looping the two bits over and over is kinda dull.

**Necros**

I'd rather see a princess bride version

Hello! My name is Prince Oberin. You killed my sister. Prepare to die.

Or The Incredibles:

He had me at his mercy, and what does he do?
He starts monologuing?
He starts monologuing!

**FoWPlayerDeathOfUS.TDs**

No one ever gets out alive. I thought that was exagerated, but it seems like it isn't. Well, at least we will be able to see the deadly sand daughters hopefully.
