NO SPOILERS, NO BOOK TALK, AND FOR THE LOVE OF THE RED GOD NO TALK ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF SPOILERS AND BOOKS Any questions about the books can be sent by PM to Toast Museum Revenant Threshold Ballz Carlton Banks Teller Max The Kawaiiest Hedrigall We know our stuff. Recap, rewritten/edited from the GoT wiki: The Dreadfort When we last saw Yara Greyjoy she had gathered 50 of the best fighters of the Iron Islands and taken her fastest ship on an expedition to rescue her brother, Theon Greyjoy from the clutches of Ramsay Snow at the Dreadfort. Now nearing her destination, she reads to her men the letter sent by Ramsay, which threatened to flay all Ironborn who do not leave the North. While Ramsay has rather violent sex with Myranda inside the Dreadfort, Yara and her troops land and scale the walls of the castle. They quietly take out the guards as they search for Theon, whom they eventually learn is being held in the dog kennels. There, the Ironborn and Yara see Reek sitting in a cage. Yara opens the cage, but Reek refuses to go with her, believing it is another cruel trick played by Ramsay. Several Bolton troops enter along with Ramsay, who is wearing nothing but plot armor. A fight ensues with several Bolton and Greyjoy soldiers killed. Reek, insisting his name is and always has been Reek, bites Yara and cowers in his cage. Ramsay releases his hounds and Yara is forced to retreat to her ship. When one of the ironmen asks of Theon, Yara answers by saying her brother is "dead." Back at the Dreadfort, Ramsay allows Reek to take a bath as a reward for his loyalty. Reek fears the bath is another trick, but Ramsay assures him it is not. As Reek bathes, Ramsay asks the poor creature if he loves him and after a brief pause, Reek admits he does. Satisfied with the answer, Ramsay tells Reek of his plans to assault and recapture Moat Cailin, which is currently being occupied by the Ironborn and preventing Roose Bolton's army from returning to the North. Ramsay tells Reek he needs his help in recapturing the fort by dressing up and pretending to be someone he isn't: Theon Greyjoy. Braavos Stannis Baratheon and Ser Davos Seaworth visit the Iron Bank of Braavos in hopes of securing funds to aid Stannis' war effort. At first the representatives from the bank reject their request. One of the bankers, Tycho Nestoris, points out Dragonstone's weak position and is ready to dismiss them when Davos speaks up, relating how he came into Stannis' service, how Stannis is a just man who keeps his word, and how he is the best chance for the Iron Bank to get its money back after the chaos that would follow the eventual death of an elderly Tywin Lannister. This seems to convince Tycho and his colleagues, as they agree to fund Stannis. A short time later at a bath house in Braavos, the pirate Sallador Saan is enjoying a joke with some lovely young ladies when they are interrupted by Davos, who informs Sallador that they will be sailing with Stannis at sunrise. Sallador begins to object, but Davos throws him a package of gold coins from the Iron Bank, noting that more money waits at his home. Meereen On one sunny day outside of Meereen, a goat herder and his young son are peacefully tending their livestock on a hill. To pass the time, the son begins throwing some rocks off the hill. Crack a rock goes as it tumbles down the cliff. Crack goes another. Crack. Crack. Thud. Uh oh. Hello there, Drogon. Dany's baby is not amused with the boy's rock tossing but his attention is immediately drawn to the flock of goats. The dragon sets fire to the field behind the boy and kills the flock, taking one of the goats with him. In Meereen, Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons now rules from her very own and very impressive throne room in the Great Pyramid. Dany has proven she can conquer, now she must prove she can rule, and holds a day to meet supplicants and hear their requests. The first supplicant is the the goat herder, who lays the charred remains of his flock before the Dany, hoping to not anger the queen, as he believe she sicced the dragon on him as some sort of punishment. Daenerys apologizes about Drogon's actions and promises to pay back three times the dead livestock's worth. After the goatherd departs, Hizdahr zo Loraq presents his petition: the right to bury his father's remains in the Temple of the Graces, as he was one of the Meereenese Great Masters crucified on Daenerys's orders. She counters that he was one of the masters that crucified the 163 children. Loraq reveals that his father actually spoke out against the crucifixion of the slave children (he was overruled), but was killed due to Daenerys's "justice" anyway. Somewhat mollified, Daenerys allows him to bury his father. After Loraq leaves, Daenerys asks how many more supplicants are waiting. Missandei answers that there are over 200 more. As the gravity of what it means to rule begins to settle in, Daenerys orders the next supplicant to come forward. King's Landing At a meeting of the Small Council, Tywin tells the councilors that his son Tyrion's trial will begin that afternoon. We have some new faces on the Small Council: an eager-to-please Lord Mace Tyrell of Highgarden and a rather sleepy Prince Oberyn Martell of Dorne. In other orders of business, Lord Varys informs Tywin that The Hound has been spotted in the Riverlands, and Tywin orders a bounty on his head. Varys also speaks of Daenerys' conquest of Meereen, and that she is being advised by Ser Barristan Selmy, formerly of the Kingsguard and Ser Jorah Mormont, formerly of the underground Westeros slave trade. While Selmy's new-found allegiance is a reminder of the late King Joffrey's boneheaded move to "retire" the aging knight, Jorah's case is more intriguing to Tywin. Mormont was originally a spy for King Robert, and was ordered to have Daenerys assassinated way back in season 1. In return, the exiled knight would be granted a pardon and allowed to return to Westeros. But something happened after that order was given. Daenerys still lives, now has three dragons and an army of Unsullied, all the while Jorah remains at her side. How long will it before she sets her eyes on the Iron Throne, they wonder. After Varys confirms his "little birds" can make their way into Meereen, Tywin orders Mace Tyrell, the newly-appointed Master of Ships, to take command by fetching the Hand of the King a quill and some paper. In the dungeon, Jaime Lannister has Tyrion shackled and brought into the throne room to begin his trial. King Tommen recuses himself from the trial, appointing his grandfather Tywin, Oberyn, and Mace as judges. Several witnesses are called for the prosecution, including Ser Meryn Trant, Grand Maester Pycelle, Queen Regent Cersei, and Varys, all of whom give testimony backing the accusations against Tyrion. Tyrion seems none-too-surprised by the witnesses, although Varys' betrayal is disappointing. Varys once told Tyrion he recognized Tyrion's actions had saved King's Landing at the Battle of Blackwater. Tyrion meekly asks had Varys indeed forgotton those words? "Sadly, my lord," Varys replies, "I never forget a thing." At recess, Jaime asks Tywin to spare Tyrion, offering to break his oath to the Kingsguard and return to Casterly Rock, to be the Lannister heir. Tywin quickly accepts, telling Jaime that Tyrion will be allowed to join the Night's Watch after being found guilty of Joffrey's murder, provided he pleads for mercy. Jaime is to then immediately leave for Casterly Rock. Before the recess ends, Jaime speaks with Tyrion and urges him to beg for mercy and allow himself to take the Black. Tyrion is deeply distrustful of the offer, remarking that Ned Stark was promised the same thing and yet still lost his head, but Jaime pleads with his brother to trust him, insisting that their father will keep his word. As Tyrion mulls the offer, the trial resumes and Tywin orders the next witness to testify: Shae. Being disappointed in Varys is one thing, but now Tyrion is visibly upset to see his lover had not left King's Landing at all, but now stands before the judges, ready to betray him as well. Shae testifies that Tyrion and Sansa planned Joffrey's murder together, claiming that Sansa wanted vengeance for the murder of her father, mother, and brother. She tells the judges of Tyrion's sexual desires, embarrassing him in front of the crowd. She admits that she was Tyrion's whore... and that Tyrion made her call him "My Lion." Shae adds that upon marrying Sansa he became enamored with her, but she wouldn't let him into her bed... which is when Tyrion promised to kill Joffrey for her. Before she can continue, Tyrion, enraged beyond sense, angrily demands that he be allowed to confess his crimes. TYRION: I saved you. I saved this city. And all your worthless lives. I should've let Stannis kill you all. TYWIN: Tyrion! Do you wish to confess? TYRION: Yes, father. I'm guilty. Guilty. Is that what you want to hear? TYWIN: You admit you poisoned the king? TYRION: No. Of that I'm innocent. I'm guilty of a far more monstrous crime. I'm guilty of being a dwarf. TYWIN: You're not on trial for being a dwarf. TYRION: Oh? Yes I am. I've been on trial for that my entire life. TYWIN: Have you nothing to say in your defense? TYRION: Nothing but this: I did not do it. I did not kill Joffrey but I wish that I had! Watching your vicious bastard die gave me more relief than a thousand lying whores! I wish I was the monster you think I am. I wish I had enough poison for the whole pack of you. I would gladly give my life to watch you all swallow it. TYWIN: Ser Meryn! Ser Meryn! Escort the prisoner back to his cell! TYRION: I will not give my life for Joffrey's murder and I know I'll get no justice here. So I will let the gods decide my fate. I demand a trial by combat!

EccoRaven posted:I like EffortOPs, not the least of which because I am in them. It was a really helpful map, and the OP needed some new maps in the worst way. Thanks for posting it. Glad y'all liked the OP, and sorry about the premature threadjaculation. If I do any more OPs I'll save 'em for late Saturday night. And not to put a damper on things a bit, but no new episode next week (Memorial Day in the States), so you're stuck with this thread for the next two weeks. Please be gentle with it.

Willsun posted:Pretty sure character guide for Lysa is supposed to say "Sansa's babysitter" instead since Catelyn is, well... I think you read it wrong. I did, however, forget to update Sansa's description since she's no long a hostage. Although actually after that last scene with her and Lysa, I guess it still kind of fits.

Hedrigall posted:Do you guys think Mance will get to the wall anytime soon? Jon Snow said in the last episode that he estimated Mance would arrive at the Wall by the next full moon. He just needs a little extra time to gather up all that kindling to light the biggest fire the North has ever seen or something. Edit: As for speculation spoilers, just don't dwell on any speculation too much. I've seen plenty of speculation that I know is way off base, and yeah a couple that hit close to home. But it's not like every single poster's theory is a book reader's spoiler in disguise; hints and foreshadowing in the show can mean an Unsullied will actually stumble upon the truth ahead of time every now and then. Back in I think season 2, Dolash kept hitting the nail on the head and in the spoiler thread we were pissed off that a book reader was being so loving overt in ruining the show. Then we later learned he really hadn't read the books (at that point) and only went on to read them after people kept calling him out for being a book reader.

Gianthogweed posted:Stannis knew Cersei's kids were incest bastards before Ned even got to King's Landing. Why do you think he left King's Landing in the first place? He was involved with Jon Arryn's investigation. Not in the show he wasn't. Stop projecting events from the book as if they're the same as the show.

Gianthogweed posted:I think it's fair to assume it un-shown scenes of events that took place before the show happened as they were described in the books. It's probably not a good precedent to take, because then you get people swearing Stannis knew about Joffrey's parentage before Ned ever sent the letter. If something happened is described in the books and isn't shown on the show it means either a) It'll be revealed in some form or another later on in the show b) It can only be assumed it didn't take place in the show Caveat: those histories and lore special features on the Blu-Rays seem to be pretty solid info for show canon. Otherwise I'd caution to tread lightly when it comes to info and speculation for anything coming out of the books that isn't presented in the show. If show-only watchers are really curious, remember there's that list of SA users in the OP who are more than happy to answer questions in PMs. Speaking of, regulargonzalez would you like me to add your name to that list?

I recognize that most of it is intended to be harmless chat, but it's a slippery slope and makes it easier for someone to inadvertently reveal something that ends up really being a spoiler. I'm just advising caution and if you're writing a sentence that begins with something like "But in A Clash of Kings..." to seriously reconsider posting it. And with that, let's get back to show chat. I'll let Seth and Snoop get the conversation going: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79DeJqyhwWs
