Vivly:And the slayer of Khals. |
Shameful country. |
Trash |
The coach is a pro. He won't get stimulated. But the girl tho... she's so enjoying it. |
I hope they won't punish her because of the midriff that was exposed. |
And he looks innocent for such an inhuman act. |
My crush. |
Hmmm... If actors starts receiving royalties from TV stations I wonder what the producers will get. |
Warning: This post will contain spoilers for the Game of Thrones season six finale. This past Sunday’s season six finale of Game of Thrones was packed to the brim with shocks and surprises. Maybe one of the less surprising, but no less satisfying moments as well, came when it was confirmed that Jon Snow was not actually the bastard of Ned Stark, but actually his sister Lyanna’s son, whom he promised to protect immediately before his sister’s death in the Tower of Joy. While the show itself didn’t specify who his father was, it’s commonly assumed by many, taking into account the story’s timeline and Lyanna’s affair with Rhaegar Targaryen, that he is the son of both Lyanna (a Stark) and Rhaegar (a Targaryen). Now it might be a bit before the show actually confirms Rhaegar to be Jon’s dad, though it’s practically common knowledge at this point that he is, but one keen reddit user may have unearthed the missing portion of Lyanna’s line to Ned before her death, the one moment in the show that we can’t hear what she’s whispering in his ear. Though make sure to take all of this with a large grain of salt for the time being. Reddit User Sparkedavisjr claims that, after having watched the Tower of Joy scene “about fifty times” that when Lyanna whispers Jon’s name into Ned’s ear, she doesn’t say Jon, but instead says Jaehaerys. The name, which may not be familiar to non-book readers, is a reference to both Jaehaerys Targaryen, who was the fourth Targaryen to hold the Iron Throne, and Jaehaerys II, the latter of whom was actually the father of Rhaegar’s father, Aerys Targaryen II (The Mad King). Jaehaerys I was nicknamed “The Conciliator” or “The Wise” during his reign, while Jaehaerys II’s reign only lasted three years due to his sickly nature, which was the last good reign of the Targaryens over Westeros. It would make sense for Rhaegar and Lyanna to not only name Jon after Rhaegar’s grandfather though because of his good reputation, but also because Jaehaerys II was the first Targaryen to be told of the prophecy about the prince that was promised from the woods witch brought in by Jenny of Oldstones. The prophecy was actually the reason that Jaehaerys forced Aerys II to marry his sister, Rhaella, because it was prophesied that the prince would come from his bloodline. At first Rhaegar, who was obsessed with the prophecy himself, believed that he would be the Prince that was Promised, before realizing that it would be his son instead, leading him to “kidnap” Lyanna and have a baby with her, after his wife Elia Martell, could not have a third baby. After all, “the dragon needs three heads,” Rhaegar told her. So while it not only makes sense for Rhaegar and Lyanna to name their son Jaehaerys, it also makes sense that Ned would keep Jon’s original birth name secret, since Jaehaerys is synonymous with the Targaryen name and someone would have likely pieced the connection together. So while we can assume once and for all that Jon is the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna, making him the Prince that was Promised and making his song, the song of ice and fire, it’ll be interesting to see if his name is actually Jaehaerys or not. At this point though, I don’t really care. I’m just happy that we can finally theorize beyond Jon’s parentage now. Meanwhile, Game of Thrones season seven does not currently have a release date, and will probably come for fans about as quickly as Dany’s journey to Westeros has been.

Tommen ain't weak after all. Takes a lot of courage to jump off like that. |
The first scenes in kings landing reminded me much of the Godfather. Cersei aka the Black Widow. Life is really irregular. Dothrakis sailing comfortably in the poisoned waters. A Bastard/Targreyen becomes King of the North. Winter is here. |
But the voice reception delays. |
Ep. 10 preview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MehJaeTVrxI Tyrion to Dany- You are in the great game now. The great game is terrifying. |
Moral of Episode 9: Always feed your dog.

UjSizzle:She will probably get rid of it. |
This episode 9 is it. Did you see the look on Little Finger's face as the Vale army swept the Boltons? Jon "still knows nothing" Snow And Ramsey ( kettle calling pot black) kept calling bastard as if he's not one? Ramsey told Sansa, " part of me is in you". It's clear he has infected her with his cruelty. Wun Wun ![]() Mellisandre watch your back. Davos is coming for you. Yara and Dany... I love their lines. Grey Worm is one cold blooded expert killer. I slash, two bodies. As for Rickon...

Filming of the episode required 25 shooting days, along with 500 extras, 600 crew members and 70 horses. Benioff described the difficulty of using horses, saying they are difficult to coordinate in battle sequences, which is why they are rarely used except in "big budget war films." [4] D. B. Weiss added, "Miguel's really outdone himself. Fully fleshed out medieval battles require a tremendous amount of resources and choreography to get them right. It feels like we're doing something fresh that you don't see on TV and movies very often." [4] Four different camera crews were used for the entire sequence. [5] The 500 extras largely made up the Snow and Bolton armies, playing the roles of Wildlings, archers, swordsmen and spearmen. [5] Each army was trained separate from each other, in order to create an off-screen rivalry between the two groups. [5] Visual effects were also utilized in order to expand the army into thousands.

UjSizzle:Yep the trailer got every fans adrenaline pumping. The episode won't end happily ever after for the Starks. They will in their usual style deny us the full joy. |

Bastard Bowl. Make your bets
|
Good beginning. |
Got this out of my archives to share with you guys than leave it to gather more moss in the hard drive. This is one of our practice action videos. Shot on a boring day. Watch and be entertained. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inPBvQNOb6U |
There's a reason action scenes were not added much in this episode... Bastard Bowl. The producers needed all the energy and money for BB. Remember this is a series and it's costing them really much. Again Season 6 is more of a preview for winds of winter. The writers are trying without GRRM.

Freakypinky:On point. |
Jeffy1206:You may or may not but there is a high chance you will hate the word and everything associated with it because you lost your kid to that world. |
Working at home is cool especially on the part of saving transportation costs. |
All these people supporting homosexuals, I wonder what your reaction will be if discover your child is gay. |
Very cool ninja moves Arya pulled but her storyline weak sha. |
Gbola5:GRRM forged ASOIF with a mix of myths, legends and history. Take for now, the brotherhood has gone rouge taking the jihad part (killing septons and their followers). Then in King's Landing the throne is now under the hands of the High Sparrow and his priests ( Rome and Catholic). Gendry is no ordinary bastard like his other brothers that were butchered. For bastards have no claim on King's Landing. There is a reason Mellisandre picked him. |
GRRM himself has stated that Cersei and Robert Baratheon have similarities with the characters of Hera and Zeus where the husband has affairs with several women and wife is disgusted with the husband's infidelity.The only difference here is that the wife has her own affairs.Both have their respective bastards.Now if we closely observe myths of Zeus and Hera,one cannot ignore the character of Hephaestus-blacksmith of the gods and trueborn son of Zeus and Hera whom Hera abandoned/rejected(threw from heaven). Now consider Gendry,bastard child of Robert Baratheon (widely speculated to be black-haired child of Cersei and Robert and possibly abandoned by his mother-much like Hephaestus).Gendry also knows the rare skill of being able to forge Valyrian steel(being raised as apprentice to a man who knew this rare art)...This would add further credence to the theory that Gendry is the trueborn heir to the throne-carrying the blood of Baratheons and Lannisters and certainly legitimize his claim. |
Northerners are sooo bitter. |

GOT has become increasingly predictable and we know they don't like cliché endings. 
My blood is so pumped I can't wait for Monday.
Ramsay hmm... I hope he dies.
