Game of Thrones TV Thread **HBO-Purists ONLY**

I think Snow is making the right decision. Probably the only way he can save anybody is if he gets to Castle Black before anybody else. I don't think he is betraying Ygritte as much as he is trying to save her. He's got the honor streak just like every other Stark, and will have a woman he loves hate him if that's what it takes to maintain it. But it's not just honor and duty, but actually helping people. I can't predict what, but I'm guessing Snow will be integral in keeping a lot of wildlings from dying. Regardless, Snow and Ygritte are not ending up together because the super long game is Snow and Dany doing so

Maybe the reason they didn't show the slave surrender is because it was probably at the behest of Grey Worm giving them a quick speech while they wallowed in their decisions, and they didn't want to show this because he's not a significant character. But even then, they could have just had Jorah do it. Really is so dumb that they didn't show the surrender process. It wouldn't have taken much screen time and would have been one of the most intense moments of the episode.

I'm honestly pleased that Robb is dead, as I've wanted him dead ever since his idiot ass married Talisa. That was just so dumb even without hindsight. The first thing I thought when he married her was how he signed his death warrant by breaking his oath and alienating key allies. Dumbass would still be alive if he just fought the fucking war first and then focused on marriage afterwards. I even find it a little implausible that Robb would marry that girl in the middle of a campaign in the first place, which goes to how unbearably stupid it was.

He was one of my favorite characters until that marriage. I don't root for characters who make obviously terrible choices. It probably fits much better if his age was the same as in the book (17 or something?) because then he would be a teenager, and everybody (other than teenagers) knows that they make asinine decisions

Did Robb get stabbed in the chest? If so, my theory that the region of the leeches on Gendry's body correlates with what will happen to each usurper is intact. So my guess is that Balon will die of some stomach virus (maybe poison) and Shae will catch Teh Joff trying to rape Sansa and will slice his dick off. I seriously doubt those will happen, but is a guess. I honestly don't want them to happen either

Did Blackfish survive the massacre? I hope so, he's legit. I have half a mind that the Tully's were not killed, and that Edmure really is married to the Frey girl now. Even though it could be implied that he was killed in his bed with her, they probably would have shown that if it happened. Also, who is Blackfish: Cat's brother or uncle?

I was shocked at the wedding scene, and now I'm thinking it's brilliant that GoT had some relatively boring to watch wedding scenes fairly recently to keep us off our toes right before the massacre (as a relatively casual watcher I had absolutely no idea it was coming until the chainmail). Immediately afterwards though, I thought "This is good. Every death is a good death because the show is too fucking huge."

Also, who is Blackfish: Cat's brother or uncle?

I don't know, but the question reminds me of "But your brother will become your father-in-law, that much is beyond dispute" =D
