I doubt it. Roose Bolton is married to one of Walder's daughters. This one:







Plus Baelish is the Lord Paramount of the Riverlands. I think the Vale, North and Riverlands will be aligned just like in Robert's Rebellion.

Roose is married to her...For her weight in silver not live, has no children by her and now has Ramsey as his true born heir. Roose values his hold over the north more than an alliance with the Frey's in the fights to come I would think.

Especially if he can "trust" Bealish who has the Vale, who's Armies stayed out of the war of the 5 kings and along with Dorne are the strongest forces in westeros right now.

Isn't it 1 - Highgarden; 2 - Dorne when it comes to strongest forces in Westeros as of the moment?

The North Remembers!

***Book related spoilers****, seriously do not read if you haven't read the books:

Spoiler

Did anyone else think Frey Pies when that old woman saaid that?

"The best pie you have ever tasted, my lords. Wash it down with Arbor gold and savor every bite. I know I shall."

I really can not wait for that.

After Tyrion heard the red priest speaking, he mentioned Thoros of Myr which reminded me of a major plot point from the books that hasn't made it to the show: Lady Stoneheart. Has that officially been confirmed to not be making the show or is there still the possibility? I figured that Sansa would somehow be incorporated into that role but once his name was mentioned I felt like it was a window to introduce the reanimated Catelyn.

That look Sansa gave Bolton before she smiled and curtsied though.


Great episode. With the huge split the show has taken from the books I am very excited to see where this goes.

Isn't it 1 - Highgarden; 2 - Dorne when it comes to strongest forces in Westeros as of the moment?

I don't know, I'd say Dorne trumps Highgarden, maybe even the Vale. Dorne has never been conquered* plus they haven't lost anyone to the war along with the Vale.

I know Daeron I managed a very short lived subjugation, for whatever that was worth.

^ Yes, Dorne has never been conquered but every time they talk about money + size of army (as of the latest episode), the Tyrells are number 1 according to the characters. I'm not even going to include the Vale considering the ease in which Bronn and now Brienne have killed their sorry asses. They may be good in their mountain, but they don't seem to hold a lick outside of it.

Nope. If you remember after the Death of Renly many of the lords of The Reach went over to Stannis, and many of them were with him at the Battle of the Blackwater. The Tyrells did not nor did some of their closest allies, but I would say half went with Stannis which means that half were either burned on the blackwater, died on the shores of Kings Landing, burned as traitors after the defeat or went North with Stannis.

Dorn and The Vale are the only regions that took no part in the fighting.

Hold on. The Lords of the Reach left for Highgarden and eventually allied with the Lannisters. Those who stayed were Renly's banner men from the Stormlands who hadn't allied with Stannis yet.

Either way, Tyrells = currently richest House. I don't think we know (in the show) who exactly has the biggest army at the moment, though it does say on the Song of Ice and Fire wiki that

The lords of the Reach provide much of the Iron Throne's manpower, under the uneasy alliance between Houses Lannister and Tyrell.

In other news...

This latest episode was one of the 1st times I looked at my friend(TV only watcher) and said. " Man I have no idea what's going on." It's a combo of not having read the books in a while and storyline changes.

*Book spoiler*

Spoiler

I'm really bummed about Lady Stoneheart not showing up to this point. It just seemed like it wouldve been the perfect way to end last season and HBO was like Nah.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 5 (aka A Feast for Crows + A Dance with Dragons)

So how many episodes have been released legitly?

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 5 (aka A Feast for Crows + A Dance with Dragons)

Cant wait to see how Sansa messes up getting revenge for the Starks.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 5 (aka A Feast for Crows + A Dance with Dragons)

So I rewatched the 3rd episode and something struck me.....

Spoiler related to the books and me thinking about the show

Spoiler

So Jorah grabs Tyrion, which was expected. But it happened w/o Tyrion meeting Griff and Young Griff. To me that is a major spoiler for the future books. I know that they said the show will start spoiling the books a bit and to me that is a major first spoiler.

I haven't watched any of season 3 but to me as a book reader it means

Spoiler

that Aegon is a fake and doesn't mean much in the books after all. Or that is another twist that is different in the show than the books.

Books/show

Spoiler

I believe it was strongly hinted at that Griff/Aegon will not be in the show. If he is then it'll be in a later season.

I'm just glad that Jon got a bit of vengeance for his father in the last episode.
