You do realize it was written that way from the start in the books?

Doesnt matter. Time travel is both lame and lazy.

And it's pretty obvious that Martin is lazy. And HBO has this season on warp speed to get through it all.

Hodor.

I thought it added an interesting element to Bran's powers. And it wasn't like back to the future, he just momentarily worked in two places at once. Sort of a new expansion on what he could do. Pretty cool.

But I suppose it is unrealistic.......

It's easy to call it a cop-out, because it's been done so poorly in the past.

So it looks like GOT is using the Butterfly-effect? A dynamic timeline?

Although the "past" seemed to be tied directly to the present. Not sure I've seen this sort of time-manipulation in fiction.

Lazy? I don't think anyone can call a guy who writes books, with 500+ pages, lazy. And that's just his GoT offerings. You might be able to say that about HBO (as being lazy), but I certainly don't think that applies to Martin.

 

[Kutnupe14]

I never saw that coming. At all.

Danerys now has the Unsullied AND a hoard of Dothraki. She is going to kick some serious ass when Tyrion helps her train the dragons. I think Jon will re-take the North and end up allied with Dany as she comes up from the south to put the capitol in a pincer. It will be interesting to see how Cersi ends up dying, I am fairly certain it will be brutal and not so pretty (just a guess). But I do hope she unleashes the Mountain on the Sparrow and his drones first.

Not "A" horde of Dothraki, she has ALL the Dothraki. Khal Drogo was one Khal, out of several existing at the same time. He was the most powerful Khal, but he wasn't the only Khal. When he died, two of his bloodriders became Khal's themselves (in the books). Dany, after killing the other Khals, essentially has the biggest Dothraki horde ever. Assuming there weren't a few other Khals that were at DK.

 

[Kutnupe14]

Dude, Hodor.

Kinda sad really. Bran essentially makes Hodor kill himself. Kinda dirty, warg into the gentle giant, and sacrifice him so you can escape.

Ya know, in the purest sense, it probably falls into the more probable of the unrealistic things that have taken place on GoTs.

Does Hodor really die??? Yes, we see him getting injured and torn up, but never a final death. We all know this story likes to make you think one thing..or bring people back..

I'm not counting Hodor down and out just yet...

Yeah, I thought it was awesome. Except, Hodor.

They need to figure out how to make firebombs.

I think Arya will eventually wind up in Mereen. Curious as to what she'll be doing, or killing, there.

Daenerys knows how to gain power quickly, but she isn't the most prudent using it. I wonder if she will get it right this time, and if the Greyjoys really will help.

Lol,

I really meant that as tongue in cheek. I love how people get wrapped around realism in sci-fi or fantasy.

 

[Woobie]

Oh, and I hate it when they kill off the wolves. Is John's the only one left now?

Nymeria, Ghost, and possibly Shaggydog.

Theory is that the Shaggydog head shown in the show was a ruse.

 

[Woobie]

Nymeria was Arya's?

Not "A" horde of Dothraki, she has ALL the Dothraki. Khal Drogo was one Khal, out of several existing at the same time. He was the most powerful Khal, but he wasn't the only Khal.

Going to have some Ironborn ships and a new BFF named Yara pretty soon, too.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Nymeria was Arya's?

Yep, she's "currently running loose somewhere in the Riverlands, her exact whereabouts unknown."


Also happens to be the name of our German Shepherd :P
