I don't think Varys even believes in Westerosi Exceptionalism :bahgawd:

I wonder how Old Daario would have handled that conversation.

The same, but with more cheekbones.

It's perfect. He's the mediocre little brother. What better name than Kevin?

So, based on your reading of the reveal scene, is the Faceless Man guy:

1. Actually Jaqen.

2. Not Jaqen, but when Arya mentioned his name, he took the face of that identity to make a point about how he is "no one".

Just like how there are only two songs in Westeros

That reminds me of the brothel burping contest in the middle of season 4.

:downs:"Is it that one song everyone knows?"

;-* "No, you idiot!"

:v:"Is it that other song everyone knows?

;-* "Yes!"

Just the first 4 episodes. When 5 comes along, I'm sure everyone will chip in, make a big thread, etc.

Point of order: at the Wall all titles, claims and lands are forsaken by the Night's Watch- why does Jon still refer to Janos Slynt as Lord Janos? He'd be Ser Janos, if he was ever even a knight, or just Janos, or Slynt. Unless he does it to mock him as the other watchmen do with 'Lord Snow' to mock Jon's high/low birth.

Night's Watch talk a lot about how they're an egalitarian meritocracy, but they haven't escaped the greater social system they live in.

Nobility have a very prominent part to play in their senior ranks, e.g. Lord Commander Mormont, Ned Stark's brother, Ned Stark's bastard. Even at the beginning of S1E01, Ser Waymar Royce is giving orders to men with decades more experience than him by virtue of his nobility and knighthood.

So in short, titles shouldn't matter at The Wall, but in practice, they are a way to get power and influence, so people keep them in their words.

This is the rapiest wedding night I think the show has ever had, and unfortunately that is saying a lot.

Even Khal Drogo didn't make others watch.

She was cool and so obviously doomed, but having her be weird and not fight zombies because they're kids was lovely.

I read it more as freezing in terror at seeing zombie children (that she may have known) than any inability to fight kids.

Melisandre seemed to ACTUALLY believe in what she was doing though. She seemed so thrilled when she saw the snow melting, and her reactions to the bad news of the men deserting and then her running away and her reactions at the Wall...I think all of this had a purpose, but I do not think Melisandre realized what the true purpose was and is now lost.

Her faith is shaken. I guess she backed the wrong messiah candidate!
