    I know who Jon really is.
    Maybe that's why House Reed wants to stay in the shadows. Ned Stark cannot because he is the heir to a major house, but Meera is the Luke of the twins.

    I can see where the idea is coming from, but in the books Aegon is alive - thus being the third head of the dragon, but as I said Meera does look Stark born. There's also speculation that Tyrion is a Targaryen bastard; which TBH I find hard to believe.

    The one question I actually have left in the show and anthology is - who would be Dany's heir ?
    Seeing as she can't have children and I don't see Jon staying alive after the war.

    The heir to the throne is a question that I cannot answer.

    Yeah, it's a question I've had since Dany was first told that she couldn't have children anymore and as I said I just don't see Jon living at the end.

    Not liking how arrogant Dany is becoming - eventually her Dragons or a pyre won't be close by lol.

    Nah, she's pretty much invincible to the show runners I think.

    Incidentally, I'm not nearly as engaged by Arya's story as I have been in the past. She's simply started to be overshadowed by Bran and Sansa I feel in terms of the Stark children plots.

    I liked Dany in the beginning, but the last 2 books and 3 season I haven't been a fan. She gets taken by the Dothraki so easily, but is only strong when fire or her dragons are around. Another issue I have is Azor Ahai is suppose to wield lightbringer - can you honestly see Dany wielding a long sword ? lol

    While Dany will end up being Queen of the entire world - I think we know who will do most of the fighting.

    I suppose it wouldn't really be Game of Thrones if your feelings for a certain character didn't bounce around like a yo-yo. Personally, I hated Jaime Lannister in the first few seasons, but then I realized he isn't such a bad guy. I liked Tywin Lannister for awhile because he would stand up to Joffrey, and then hated him when he did what he did to Tyrion. I even feel a bit sympathetic towards Cersei (even if she is as evil as she ever was).

    Arya's story will get really interesting again - it's pretty clear she isn't "no one" and Arya soon will make a choice (the actress) that ultimately leads her back to Westros and Nymeria.
    BTW how'd you feel about the play scene ? Not going to lie it got to me a bit seeing Arya watched what happened to her father all over again.

    That and they portrayed Ned like a buffoon.

    I had no feelings either way towards the scene--it did serve an important purpose though as it stood to remind Arya that she is someone.

    Felt the same about Jaime - the bathroom scene completely altered what I thought about him - his reaction to Ned being stabbed in the leg while they were fighting was a great part as well.
    I've never disliked Jon, Tyrion, or Arya. Loved Bran, but a little miffed that he killed Hodor. Loathed Sansa in the beginning, but love what she's becoming.

    She still has "needle" hidden as well.

    Watching all those people react (sadly) to Hodor.

    I suspect everyone will be jumping for joy in a few weeks when Ramsay buys the farm.

    Yup. I was also saddened to see Hodor pass, but what a revelation.
    Ramsey vs. Jon will happen in the last two episodes from what I've heard. Expect another Stark to die.

    I heard Episode 9, and yes I fully expect another Stark to buy it.

    Just when I thought I couldn't dislike Daenerys anymore.............
    Even though I expected it - I was happy to see Benjen back and Arya "reunited" with Needle. Tommen is such an idiot.

    By the way Don Argo good call on the Jon vs. Ramsey battle being episode 9 - I just the title for the episode lol.
