I was just thinking about it Davos is easily one of my favs he just always seems to be the guy that knows whats right.

Can we get Davos on the iron throne???

It seemed a little odd that Davos would've been in the room with Stannis and Melisandre after all that happened.

Well, Davos is the guy that grounds Stannis, and Davos mentioned he wanted proof of her power ( even though it seems he already saw it once)

Ask you and shall receive. AWESOME

King Davos indeed. It would be such a story. didnt he grow up in flea bottom? A smuggler laughed at by fellow knights known only as the onion knight. From the slums of Flea Bottom to the Iron Throne of king's landing. Perhaps this is george's master plan all along.

The tree with the face is a weirwood tree. These trees are holy trees for the folks in the north who worship the old gods. It is where they go to pray. When the men of nights watch take their vows they do it in front of a Weirwood tree. They've shown them a few times.

Not really true, the Night's Watch swear their vows to whatever gods they pray to. Jon Snow took his at the Weirwoods cause he believes in the old gods, most of the kingdom south of Winterfell believe in the new gods, even the Tully's. Catelyn mentions in the 1st season to Ned that after all the years she feels like a stranger to the old gods still.

Thats true good point. I guess more was trying to mention that we've seen them a few times in the series before, but you are right you swear the vows to whoever your gods are. I think a lot of the men come from the north so the weirwood tree is used often.

Hey, welcome back. Now just waiting to hear from Dimitris. Guy went from 100 posts a day to 3 weeks of silence. :?

So this guy apparently was ugly in the books?

Yeah, the guy that plays Joffery may have a hard time getting another role after this. He is too good and too easy to hate. People probably come up to him on the street and yell at him.

He's said that after his role as Joffrey concludes he plans to retire from professional acting.

Good. I just can't see how the Bran story is going to intersect with any other story line right now. Hodor!

In the books he is tyroshi (i assume he is in the show too). Tyrosh is a free city (not free in the sense of no slaves but not associated with Westeros. It is like Yunkai, Astapor, Pentos, and the other places Dany has been) Most of the people from there are pretty flamboyant by nature.

in the books Daario has a gold tooth and a three pronged goatee dyed blue. He also dyed his hair blue. the mustache portion of his face is dyed gold.

do you think bran is exempt from becoming lord of winterfell or anything else because of his injury? I ask this cause from the beginning hes been a favourite of mine and that hasnt changed. he is a strong character and too easily dismissed due to his inability to walk. I think this might be a mistake.

Damn that sounds like an interesting looking character. Also doesn't sound expensive to do so I wonder why they changed it.

Is he able to reproduce? Him being so young i don't think we know this, but as long as everything works i don' think it would be an issue. Him not being able to have an heir could be problematic though.

im not talking about him being able to have an heir.. im talking about HIM being able to be an heir. and besides there is no guarantee that robb or jon or sansa or arya or even rickon or any other 'heir' to winterwell can provide an heir to carry on after them.. and there is no evidence that bran cannot provide an heir, so your argument is moot. let us not forget whose son joffrey is and how his ascension has circumvented the hereditary protocol.

Not sure if it answers your question, but in the books, Margery and Loras Tyrell have an older brother Willas, who is also crippled, and he is considered the heir to Highgarden. I imagine if that is so, Bran could be the heir to Winterfell.

thank you. and its not a question of whether bran could be an heir to winterfell.. he is an to heir winterfell even ahead of his elder brother jon. he is, as we speak, in fact 2nd in line to inherit the lordship of winterfell.*

* I have not seen beyond the 2nd episode of series 3 so I have no knowledge of what has or hasn't happened in regards to any of the characters residing in westeros

I was going to post that same response, but thought it might be a spoiler to someone reading the books.... and I got tongue lashed for that last week....

but based on what you just posted, I would assume that yes, Bran in theory is still heir to winterfell after Rob and before Rickon, then followed by Sansa and Arya...

it is a spoiler only if you suggest it is.. but I was speaking in generalisations knowing that some people haven't read the books. as I have previously stated I have always been a fan of bran cause I sense a strength in him that others dismiss due to his inability to walk. I read enough(hell I read a lot) to know that anything is possible especially in the fantasy genre that game of thrones falls into. also I tend to be a little bit biased when it comes to certain characters.. and bran is one of those characters. im not saying he will be lord of winterfell but I will not discount the possibility.
