Egads! Poor Jaime! And I can't believe I'm thinking that.
I love Jaime and Brienne as besties. :) He's real when he is talking with her, for whatever reason she brings some down-to-earthiness to him.

Who was the guy who saved Theon? Do we know him yet?
I've not read the books...

So curious to know what amazing talents that young boy will have to Shepard with Tyrion and Bronn. What a hoot!!

Oh, and why did Danaerys (??) only stop to give the one man water? There was a very long line of them...
I couldn't believe she gave up a dragon. Is there more to that? Will it return to her once she beckons it? From no matter how far away?
Just wondering aloud.

Love this darn show! Why does it have to go so quickly?

There was another woman there that looked like Cat. One more sister?
I noticed that too--weird they would get someone who looked like family to stand there if it wasn't someone we should know. :confused:

btw, I noticed that the guy who got to keep harrenhall is the father of the bastard that was sent to free Winterfell. If this guy has a long game, he is certainly getting his pieces in order to make a move!
Roose Bolton is at Harrenhal now, but I don't know that anyone said he could keep it. Of course, getting him out of there might be more trouble than it's worth if Rob wins the war. Who held Harrenhal at the beginning of all this? Was it empty? Everybody seems to be promising it to someone. ;)

.... You know that the group of men who were going to rape Theon is different from the group of men who were going to rape Brienne, right?
Do we have any idea who the men who were going to rape Theon were?

I had forgotten that Simon from Misfits had been cast for Game of Thrones, and for some reason I didn't recognize him last episode. So cool to see him! (Theon's rescuer).
Do you happen to know the name of the character he was cast to play?

When Jamie said that Brienne is of the "Sapphire House of Tarth" was that all B.S.?
]
Someone said that Tarth is called the sapphire isle because of the beautiful color of the water or something like that. Quick thinking on Jamie's part. Too bad he couldn't defend himself as well. :(

tee hee...now it's Rob and not Robb...Let's ban Rob to clear the confusion!

I think Cat figured she had lost the 2 boys and that made her even more desperate to save the 2 girls. Robb (2 Bs!) figures he won't lose hope for the boys until he knows for sure.

I'm still confused about the story about Bran and Rickon. I thought that Cat and Rob were told that they were killed and hung on the walls at Winterfell by Theon before it fell. Wasn't that why Cat was so determined to try to get the girls--she was grieving for the boys? So why are they thinking now that they could have escaped when it was burned?
Haven't you read the books?

We are fairly certain, but not 100%. They haven't said, but by connecting the dots:

1) Roose Bolton said he was going to send his son to Winterfell.
2) Robb said they could let the other Iron Islanders go, but not Theon
3) Theon was captured by some who put him on a giant X and tortured him.
4) Roose Bolton has an X on his chest plate, and there is a guy hanging upside down from that X

That's probably enough to figure it out, but to add to that,
5) At the end of the previous episode, Jamie identified the men who captured him and Brienne as "the flay men of house Bolton", and they were carrying a flag with an X on it

I think there is enough of a "Bolton = X = torture" connection to be fairly certain the Boltons had Theon.

I'm just going from memory here, but I don't believe Robb would have had a way to find out. When Theon attacked, Lewin was able to send out a raven saying. Someone may also have been able to send out a raven letting Robb know about Roderick's beheading. But shortly after that, Theon has all the ravens killed. This took place before orphans were killed. I'm assuming with Winterfell under seige, they didn't just let people wander off, so there would have been no way to get that info to Robb at that point.

Also, even if that news of the burned orphans did make it, who is to say that someone in the other town (where the orphans came from) didn't send word to Robb that Theon was there looking for the Stark boys and took the orphans instead, and Robb can figure it out from there.

All we know is that it's the same group who had him captive and was torturing him in the last episode. We don't yet know who they are or who they are loyal to.

Do you happen to know the name of the character he was cast to play?
IMDb just lists him as "Boy" so far. I'm guessing his identity is being kept secret because it will be a plot point when we find out who he is.

No, I don't. Do you?
Of course they're different groups of men. Besides the fact that they were in completely different locations, they looked nothing alike (and one group was much larger in number than the other).

My impression is that it's not the same collection of individuals and that the people were captured in different geographic locations.

Whether or not the groups are under the control of the same faction, I don't think that's been revealed to us.
I didn't get the impression from what he wrote that he was aware that they were different groups of men but that he thought they were possibly under the same faction, but if so, then that is a definite possibility. Although it still doesn't make sense that an entire faction of men (and bannermen) would as a whole find both Theon and Brienne "attractive", which is what he was said. After all, even the fact that they were going to rape them doesn't mean they found them attractive - it's just that any woman alone and unarmed is going to get raped in this era. As for Theon, well, we know that whoever is holding him is into sadistic acts, and raping him would be yet another one.

The group that hunted down and tried to rape Theon were most likely either Bolton men or (less likely) Iron Islanders, since those were the only two factions that we know of that were anywhere near Winterfell at the end of S2. We don't know exactly what went down in Winterfell after Theon's men knocked him out at the end of S2, but we do know that Roose Bolton lied to Robb about what happened re the fall of Winterfell - but we also don't know whether Roose did so intentionally, or if he was misled by Ramsay about what actually happened. So at this point, we can surmise that Theon is likely being held by either Bolton men (with or without the knoweledge of Roose Bolton, who is off with Robb) or by some faction of Greyjoy men. Based on what's happened to Theon thus far, it would seem more probable than not that he's being held by another faction of Bolton men (different from the ones who captured Jaime/Brienne).

As for Jaime/Brienne, they were definitely captured by Bolton bannermen.

If I could get HBOGO on my 46" flatscreen I might do that :) Unfortunately, watching on my iPad just isn't a fulfilling experience when that big TV is staring me in the face :) Also unfortunately, is that my Roku, which has HBOGO, doesn't have it for DirecTV describers.
Hold the iPad right up to your nose, and it will seem just as big as your 46" viewed from a distance: :p

Or (half-serious here) play it on your iPad with the volume off while you simultaneously watch it on your TV.

I intentionally watch it on HBOGO, because the little memory prompts, photos of prior scenes, and maps at the bottom of the screen are invaluable. I'd be lost without them. The other bits, like mini interviews, I generally disregard.
I recall there being some mention of additional tidbits, etc way back when - and then I promptly forgot all about it!!
Great info, Dan! And now y'all say that airplay works, too? So excited!

I'm going to give it a go on my re-watch or during next week's ep.
 
#148 ·
Comcast specifically blocks HBOGO on Roku. The Roku would work fine if I had a different cable provider.
Sheesh. So Comcast has another aversion besides never letting you NOT see unsubscribed channels?

They can't abide you using watching else on your television, as with Hulu.

Any archers here? How plausible is it that archer dude #2 hit the funeral boat on his first try when it was waaaaaaay down river? Is he Green Arrow's great, great, great, great grandfather? Also, was it alarm or somewhat hidden snickering that I saw in the peanut gallery when archer guy #1 kept missing?
When that scene started, I thought to myself, "wow, that's some pressure."

There was deinifitely snickering by the peanut gallery.
