what's d difference between a white walker and a wight?
Wights are dead bodies reanimated by white walkers to populate their army. White walkers were created originally by cotf, but from previous episode it seems they are able to create more of themselves from baby boys (Craster's keep).

Hehehehe... It works.
Use MX player
First thing you'll do is download the subtitle
If it's in zip format, you'll have to extract it
The subtitle extension is 'srt'

Eg

Game of thrones S06E5.SRT (You can use any name)

Now open MX player, on the top right corner, you'll see three dots arranged vertically.
Select it and you'll see subtitle option
Locate the subtitle in your file manager and select.
Now you're good to go8)
Also make sure its in same folder as video file.

I don't think its dumb. Its actually genius. Time itself is infinite, which means the past, present and future are currently happening at the same time. Bran being a warg, was able to tap into that blackhole, that connects every aspect of time together. Therefore actions in anytime (past, present, future) affect themselves. Bran warging into Hodor in the present while having a connection with the past created a time warp where the actions of the present affect the past, hence 'the past hodor' feeling the effects. According to the bloodraven, the ink of the past is set and dry, because of this, the action of the present affecting the past is so intense that it literally broke 'past' Hodor's mind. Now due to the past being changed, it carries this effect to the future, which is the present(Hodor holding the door).

Now I officially hate that little spoilt crawling muth'fvcker called Bran.

First, if he listened to his mother in season 1 and didn't go climbing, he wouldn't have been peeping at the Lanisters fvcking out their brains and getting pushed down in the process, leading to the enmity between starks and lanisters and the misery, pain and deaths that followed suit.

If he had listened to the old man and not messing around his worg abilities like a child playing with a new toy, he wouldn't have alerted the Night's king and getting everybody slaughtered. How many more people will die for that spoilt brat?

I'm officially pissed right now!!!

And do they really have to keep killing the direwolves? For fvck sake, this is the second one they are killing this season.

They had better shown the importance of that crawling ars'e next episode else everyone else would have died for nothing.

His mess creates most of the chaos in GOT. Lesson in life; whip the stubborn off your children before they ruin you. grin

Meanwhile, this season is boring and subpar. Can they kill off Arya already? I just feel like skipping her scenes whenever it comes on. Was feeling the same way with Bran's scenes and he proved utterly useless with this 'Hold the Door' episode.

Its 5 episodes already and nothing breath-taking, nothing to really make you look forward to the next episode.
Her scenes seems just perfunctory like the sands snakes'. What amount of physical training will turn puny Arya to a fighter. I expected her training to be in the art of stealth, face changing, disguise, using poisons etc.

It's a comedy show. It's just for fun. Accuracy was not the first thing on their mind.
Yeah I know its comedy, but the perception about Ned's intent was too cruel. Every other character was spot on hence Arya's distress.
The starks always had it worse off, even in comedy.

Here's a quote to show that Viserys loved the heat just as well as Dany.

They filled her bath with hot water
brought up from the kitchen and scented
it with fragrant oils. The girl pulled the
rough cotton tunic over Dany’s head and
helped her into the tub. The water was
scalding hot, but Daenerys did not flinch
or cry out. She liked the heat. It made her
feel clean. Besides, her brother had often
told her that it was never too hot for a
Targaryen. “Ours is the house of the
dragon,” he would say. “The fire is in our
blood.”

Now a question, would Dany have survived that Golden Crown ?
Now, you take fiction way serious than necessary. You may have your phd in G.R.R Martins books, good for you but the tv show is what the tv writers deem it to be.
You can do lots of 'ifs'. If John Snow was beheaded, could he be resurrected? If the khals attacked the dany before the fire got them? If Sansa and Theon didnt survive the fall? If Jaime didnt lose his sword hand? Etc.
Book is book, tv is tv, in S06 never the twain shall meet.

Syrio Forel took on lannister soldiers and not members of the kings guard. The only member of the kings guard present was Merilyn trant. And trant killed him according to arya's testimony to the hound. And judging from the hound's reaction, even a stable boy with a stick will beat five Merilyn trants. So Syrio doesn't really count for me
You missed out the wooden sword that took down 5 lannister guard, until it broke against Meryn Trant. Arthur Dayne took same number down with 2 swords and full body armour. How is that a fair comparison?
The emphasis is on sword skill. He had no sword against Meryn.
Besides Syrio was the first sword of Bravos.

No one said it directly but whenever he was spoken of, it was always with awe and reverence and this came from people like Ned Stark,Jaime Lannister and Barristan Selmy-great fighters who should know.GRRM was once asked who would win in a duel between Ser Arthur and Ser Barristan and he said that it would be an even contest only if Arthur Dayne did not use Dawn(his famed sword).From this, we can infer that in the pecking order,it's Arthur Dayne and Ser Barristan before any other.Personally, I'll go out on a limb to place Syrio Forel(Arya's dancing master) before venturing across the narrow sea. This is a quote by Jaime Lannister; ''I learned from the White Bull and Barristan the bold. I learned from Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, who could have slain all five of you with his left hand while taking a piss with the right...''. This was said to members of a Kingsguard.
Interesting point you raise. We didnt have this hype when Syrio Forel took on the kings guard with a wooden sword. F^ck Arthur Dayne. The dancing master is the best. grin

"Book of the stranger" . More like "The Reunion" to me.

And inasmuch I dislike the ramsay character (what the directors wants), he sure knows how to spice GOT up anytime, I give him that...i don't expect anything lesser even his letter wasn't.

"a wise man once said"

Haha. Still Team Tyrion anyday...

And brienne of tarth. I love that convo and that of Ser davos and melisandre as well.

I did enjoy the episode.
Even Missandei is already quoting a 'wise man'.

And I need to see cersei get into some action, she'd paid enough for her sins.

This cersei is frigging boring, I prefer the former.

Can't also wait for the war in the North...they better not disappoint.

Maybe the atonement does work. Remember it took Reek a long time to return to Theon.

I like Ser Jorah a lot. Hate that he's terminally ill. But that Dothraki bloodrider was an awesome fighter. Even Ser Jorah at his peak would still have emerged from that fight bloodied, if he emerged at all.
Plus, that sand throw would have caught any westeros fighter in the eye, but not this dothraki. He weaved aside and gave Jorah that 'is that the best you can do' look.
