Wasn't it like 7v3?

It was. From the very limited descriptions of the battle, I always assumed it came down to Ned and Reed vs. Dayne. Ned: 'He would have killed me, but for Howland Reed'.

And
I am assuming Bran has the flashback as part of his tree training/experiences, replacing what the Reed kids tell him about all of that during their journey north. Can't remember if they did it in the show.

Thanks for the explanation George!

My apologies. It was mostly a retort to the fake pussy shit explanation gavin gave that it was a "magical" disease, which is crap, since magic had all but disappeared from this world until 3 dragons were born at the end of season 1.

spoilered for size:
leprosy:

some totally non spoiler pussy shit. There's other real world type diseases that exist in the game of thrones universe. one is called "redspots" which cause, surprise surprise, itchy red spots. it's a disease that is common and mostly harmless in children, and it goes away after a week or 2. Once a child has contracted it, they can never get it again. but the disease can be fatal in adults, so adults who never had it as children will completely avoid children who have it. He uses this disease and the fact that its deadly to adults as a plot device in a storyline that didn't happen in the TV show, involving a character who's dead now anyway.

george is just describing chicken pox.

Again my apologies if I ruined your show watching experience.

You have to scroll down to get to the GOT part and it just confirms what everyone was thinking anyway. There was no way they were going to hide it once filming started.

It wasn't meant to be a fake pussy shit explanation. I was simply saying that it's precisely as contagious as the writer(s) want it to be, aka basically magical. And no, it's not a direct analogue of leprosy like redspots was for chicken pox.


However, leprosy is actually not that contagious. You can catch it only if you come into close and repeated contact with nose and mouth droplets from someone with untreated leprosy.

Leprosy is probably spread like the common cold, but is much less contagious than the cold, or influenza. You really have to live for some years in an endemic area, where new cases of leprosy are continually being detected, to run the risk of catching it. In a study of new cases being put on treatment in the United Kingdom, it was found that all of them had lived abroad in a country with leprosy for at least eight years.

I suppose you could say greyscale is what many people believed leprosy to be during the middle ages though, especially with the leper colony of stone men.

It doesn't have to be a specific person's vision or flashback. It could just be something they show the viewer. The scene with Maggy the Frog wasn't framed as Cersei remembering it, and although the show immediately cut to present day Cersei afterwards, the narrative flow still would have worked just fine if they had gone to a PoV other than Cersei first.

of course its not written in stone, they can do whatever they want. im just pointing out that nothing has happened on this show yet that doesnt involve the pov of a regular character. bran has treevision, but is limited to weirdwood stuff only or raven as well? mel has not had a straight forward vision as of yet same with dany and bran. everyone talks in goddamn riddles in this thing even that crazy bitch quaithe and that witch who was afraid of arya. anyway, howland reed sounds like the best bet to me, its about time he shows up if he hasnt already

The most disappointing thing for me this season, this guy:

rrr_img_100550.jpg


Back when he was on the show a few seasons back. Sneakily killing people at Arya's word, He was like the coolest character in the show. So when she met up with him again early this season "Awesome, this guy again!"

But all he ended up being was just a glum, over-bearing teacher/trainer. Who did nothing more than put her down and get her doing pointless menial work. I had figured there was some Mr Miyagi point to it all. She had to learn some big message about life and death and what it all means in the big picture ( there was a nod to this with a dying girl - but that didn't go further ) once Arya had GOT the message it would then be "alright, now lets kill some fuckers!!"

And so by the final episode and we saw him drink the poison and drop, I actually was happy to be rid of him. But then no, he was still alive and still a jerk.

I mean, that's sort of the whole point of what happened though isn't it? When she killed Ser Meryn, she proved she hadn't yet learned whatever lesson she was supposed to learn.

A lot of the story arcs were pretty disappointing. So many people are so disconnected now that any one of them dying doesn't seem to have that much of a consequence anymore. Seriously. With Jon Snow dead, is there ever a point to revisit The Wall now that Sam isn't there anymore? Except for maybe when the White Walkers come I don't see any reason to dedicate anymore story there. And what will happen as a result of his death in anything else? No one gives a shit about Jon Snow.

after the red wedding and such people should realize that this series is not about following a typical TV formula. anyone anywhere can die at anytime and likely will. in this era in earth's history(sans magic) people did not typically live long lives, you could die from the simplest of things, just having bad teeth was enough to send you to an early grave.

More casting calls for season 6.
More characters being cast for Game of Thrones Season 6! | Watchers on the Wall | A Game of Thrones Community for Breaking News, Casting, and Commentary

Legendary Fighter: A man in his thirties or forties who is a great swordsman and a paragon of knighthood. He carries a famous sword. The show is seeking a very impressive swordsman for the role- the best in Europe, for a week of filming fight scenes for a season 6 role. His ethnicity/race isn?t specified, unlike many other roles.

Could be Arthur Dayne, meaning we would be getting a Tower of Joy flashback.

I hope it is Arthur Dayne and we get to see the events at the Tower of Joy on screen, but there is another possibility; a new Sword of the Morning emerges in the storyline. Only being required for a week of shooting does seem to suggest it isn't for a prominent character going forward.

I feel like they can't have the sword of morning without introducing Arthur Dayne and the tower of joy.

I do see your point there, but -

they had been wanting her to kill a man (the Gambler) who refused to pay some money he owed to the family of a lost sailor ( in our modern terms - insurance, they hadn't read the small print) so he was to die for that . . . which doesn't seem like karma / buddist style whatever that they were aspiring to. . . but yet she kills Ser Meryn a man who'd coldly killed many people and was a kiddie diddler on the side. She kills that guy and they freak out and blind her ( as far as we can tell ) because that wasn't justified.

But my main complaint isn't that error in logic, the whole training thing was just . . . meh
