    Just think, if that boar wasn't there then none of this would've happened... :56:

    I can't grasp where Martin is taking this story with the Starks though. He begins his tale with them, get's you emotionally tied to the family and it's noble principles only to watch them die horribly.

    Who will be the true Stark heir now? Realistically I want little Rickon to go to Skagos with Osha and learn the ways of the First Men. Being descendants of the First Men it's also pretty suggestive to say the islands inhabitants will know magic like the Worgs/Green Dreamers/etc.

    Rickon would then be put into the training of these arts and turned into some badass mystical warrior returning to take his homeland and avenge his families name with thousands of Skagosi Spearmen at his back but not before fighting the White Walkers.

    :icon_mrgreen:

    ... Knowing George though he'll probably die. :54:

    Unicorns too apparently. :icon_mrgreen:

    We don't really know much of what life is like on Skagos. Only that they're descendants of the first men who worship the Old Gods (Will defo know some magic or two) and that they're subjects of Winterfell.

    What if they consider Rickon Stark to be the true heir of Winterfell? :icon_mrgreen:

    The only problem is that Rickon would need to grow up fast. Faster than Robb. But he's also aggressive and strong-willed even for his current age and that reflects on his direwolve's actions. I can definitely see these Northmen take him in and teach him the old ways.

    Arya is most people's favourite, she's one of the few characters who doesn't really have a flaw other than her age.
    Bran is a bit too trusting and good willed, though his abilities make up for that.
    Sansa gets a harsh load, she's really unlucky where she is, but she's pretty much a good person.
    Rickon's hardly involved in anything due to his age.

    Arya is my favourite character overall, her and The Hound are some pairing:smiley-laughing002:

    Tyrion has always been up there but his story has been slightly boring this season, also disappointed with the lack of Varys:54:

    Can't believe it but Jaime is one of my favourites as well now!

    Yeah, my brother's been saying since he finished the books that Jaime is one of the best characters in it, starting to see why now. He and Brienne work well together.

    The Hound is indeed brilliant.

    Think the Red Wedding is one of the best things to happen on tv in years. I love the fact George Martin's stories contain both beauty and horror. In real life, a lot of heroes went on to succeed and others tragically died before their time, some with all they fought for wiped out. George sees this and it is reflected in his story telling and I think he will end his books in a similar manner. He is a genius.

    No idea what this is about - seems like fantasy to me.

    Have had to listen to people going on about it all week - Just downloading it now. Will give it a go.

    It is fantasy, best fantasy since LOTR. Takes a lot of inspiration from LOTR to be honest but makes it its own

    Yeah agreed, GOT and LOTR are very similar but also very different in their own ways. Both are phenomenal:50:
