I really would love to see several vignette's of Tormund and Brienne this season. I think that could rival the adventures of Arya and the Hound.

He'll end up rescuing her and earning her admiration, she's bound to get into a situation on her journey to Riverrun.

Yea, I'm definitely fired up for the next book. I had a hard time believing Cersei would be so open to the idea of the Tyrell army marching into King's Landing seeing as she's been battling with them all throughout the entire series. I wouldn't be surprised if she came to that decision eventually in the book but I bet there's a lot more story that goes into it than just an argument with Kevan Lannister and Olenna Tyrell.

Was there anything official about who the guy is that killed Pate at the start of A Feast for Crows? I've read fan speculation on who it is, and it's plausible I guess, but when that wasn't addressed in A Dance with Dragons I thought I missed something. Probably the beginning of a pivotal plotline in the next book.

Nothing official yet. Most people think it's Jaqen based on his description. Sam's adventures at the Citadel should be a lot of fun, though. A lot of intrigue, people in disguises, and the threat of an Ironborn attack.

When Arya/the Faceless Men take a face, do they also take the body shape/size?

If not, it's hard to imagine who Arya could successfully impersonate given her small stature.

Solid question

The wiki says they take the full appearance so it seems they take body form too.

The re-enactment play of King Robert's death was really good - kinda gets lost in the Hodor moment.

A lot did. How the white walkers were created is one of the biggest reveals of the series so far imo.

With regards to Hodor, time travel/warp plots are interesting but I have to put away my logical thinking side to accept them.

Not the same for me. Fictional creatures is one thing. But playing with time is different. Saying Bran can affect the past time either means alternate dimesions, paradoxes, multiple timelines, or something.

Meh special effects but they captured the evil essence of Tyrion and the imbecile persona of Ned Stark. :thumbsup:

I get the impression that just as all men and women are imperfect and defy simple stereotypes that likewise all Gods in the GOT world do likewise. Each seem to have some power somewhere but none are the true God.

Interesting viewpoint... based on the shows presentation of the topic at hand to this point, it seems to me that the only "God" who's displayed any tangible power at all is the Lord of Light.

Further, recent comments from Jaqen H'ghar suggests that all in the GoT realm worship the same deity but call "him" a different name or names.

The Many Faced God, Lord of Light, The Seven, The Old Gods, The Drowned God, etc are all the same thing.

The latter is probably true.

I'd say from the show there's some indication that the Old God's have exhibited some power - maybe it's vested in the COTF but clearly they have some supernatural powers. I can't put my finger on it but I think we've seen other glimpses via the weirwood trees. We've seen the LoL work. I understand the controversy about the Drowned God and the debate about whether there's anything supernatural going on there but it appears one can drown and undrown if pure/believer. Seems the Seven haven't showed much if anything.

Clearly supernatural exists in this world. There is some power to be tapped into; whether or not that is all held by one God; a group of gods or just part of the vibe is up for debate.

How do you guys think this season compares to the others so far? I think the first half stacks up very favorably.

I think we are going to classify the remaining seasons as the best because it is truly unknown unlike before. We are getting questions answered that we've had since book/season one.
