Uh... little bit of a spoiler question on tonights episode...

So are we supposed to know who those chrred remains belonged to behind Theon at the end??

I was a little confused, wasn't the lil stark boys huh?!

@xfan I was wondering the same thing. I haven't read the books just a huge fan of the show. I really hope it's not the stark boys. I don't think it is but you never know with this show. Altogether though this was another great episode. Very intense with some awesome dialogue. The banter between Jamie and Catelyn was great. Theon definitely has it coming for him!

I so hope so Intruder because the best part of Thor was when they did the cutscene in the begining of the movie where they were fighting the ice giants.

@xfan320 - It is them. He kills them in the book.

Shouldn't those two charred bodies belong to the children that lived at that house. I forget who but someone mentioned that some small children lived there as well.

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE DRAGONS GET HUGE AND DANERYS DESTROYS SHIT
xfan320 - 5/13/2012, 9:39 PM
Thks everybody! I didn't think it was them when I watched. Only cuz the albino mongoloid and 'harry potter'chick weren't there ...

But hearing that he kills em in the book, hmmm... love this show!! Never let's me down!

--and agreed, Alan Taylor will OWN thor 2!

I can see how watching the show is very exciting if you haven't read the books, I would be as well if I didn't, and it is, but when you've read the books twice like I have it's a little disturbing how they've strayed very heavily from the original source material in the last couple of episodes, and I'm sure people out there who have also read the books know what I mean. Grant it, it is STILL my favorite show on TV right now, but the changes are NOT subtle. They are MAJOR changes, some are better, some are not. I don't want to spoil anything by revealing what's in the book just in case some of you who haven't read them will one day. I'll just say this without giving anything away...Danerys's dragons were never stolen from her and her maids were never killed, all I'm going to say. Still love the show.

Really? Two more episodes left?
MatchesMalone1989 - 5/13/2012, 11:38 PM
Jaime took this episode for me. He killed it.

The King Slayer Is That Dude. Nuff Said

@xfan I was wondering the same thing too. But if I had to guess its the boy's body that was at that house. If they would've captured stark they would've had the other 3 bodies with him.
DoomXfactor - 5/14/2012, 12:36 AM
@Intruder- I love Game Of Thrones but I hope Alan Taylor doesn't [frick] up THOR 2
aurorsand147 - 5/14/2012, 1:01 AM
@xfan the two bodies in the book were some miller's sons since he couldn't find bran and rickon. but in the show its some two orphans that rickon mentions lives there.
we need The Reeds and ygritte is a total babe
and why are they making Dany a whiny little kid just like viserys.
Mugwamp - 5/14/2012, 4:14 AM
May I never again hear Dany say "With fire and blood." She says it every episode and hasn't done a thing. They need to move her story along a little more.
Dedpool - 5/14/2012, 8:45 AM
Love this show!!!
PJIP - 5/14/2012, 11:32 AM
Dany will stay like that until she enters the house of the undying..maybe she'll transform after that to act upon here destiny (and all her 3 traitors as prophesized) & be queenly like in the book.
A lot has been change in the show i agree and i'm half way A Dance with Dragons...btw it's an awesome book.
