Yes! First Daario is way too pretty, IMO. yes. I find he didn’t suit Dany kind of thing. Like the two of them together just didn’t seem couple-y to me. That’s why when he was suddenly gone and this new guy was there I didn’t think anything of it. I can’t believe I missed it’s the same character I assumed I missed a scene I had to Google it when I watched, too. I was like WTF is the guy? I was very confused.

I'm still pissed about the entire Rickon plotline. FUCKING ZIG ZAGGGGGGG And just the whole, well he's been missing for 3 years, let's give him a total of 45 seconds of screen time and then kill him. The books lead me to believe he's supposed to be sort of important!

I was watching live with the whole Dario thing and I'm embarrassed to say I didn't even notice he changed after almost a year. I remembered the character but just kept carrying on. It wasn't until I read an article about all the recasts that I was like oh yeah.. he was different lol.

So I just want to make sure I am thinking of this correctly. So those little tree people that were in that tree created the white walkers? Like they put a stick in that guy in a tree and that’s probably the first white walker then? Obviously they didn’t realize what they were making since they then got destroyed in that hold the door scene... but is that the gist of it, that they created them by some sort of magic or whatever? Before he became a White Walker, the Night King was a First Man that was captured by the Children of the Forest, Leaf (tree person) among them. Leaf pressed a dragonglass dagger into his chest, causing his eyes to turn blue and turning him into the first of the White Walkers. The Children of the Forest created the White Walkers to defend themselves when Westeros was invaded by the First Men, who were cutting their sacred trees and slaughtering them. Hmm.. I wonder if the first man turned night king has lineage to Sam because I never understood why the NK didn't kill Sam early on - he just stared at him and walked right on.

This all reminds me of that scene where Jorah tells dany he loves her. I audibly gasped when he did! I to this point didn’t think he loved her loved her. Just more like a daughter. He better go find that cure for the stone thing! I almost am wondering if he has to chop off his arm to stop the spread. We shall see :s Really?!? I thought she was being obtuse and the last one to know it. 😆 Watching I was like wow Jorah, no shit buddy.

I'm glad they made a Daario for TV instead of copying his look right from the books. I'm perfectly ok without the blue forked beard.

Hodor and Shireen were the only non-creature deaths that made me cry. I save most of my tears for direwolves and dragons. Ned was shocking (I was unspoiled/non-book reader when I watched S1) but damn, he was dumb. Robb wasn't a shock because I had read Books 1-3 before S3 aired. He was so pretty, but yeah, dumb. Catelyn was dead to me when she treated Jon like shit (including admitting she had wanted him to die of the pox). Rickon had been offscreen for so long and I knew he was a goner once he was in Ramsey's clutches. I'm still pissed about the entire Rickon plotline. ZIG. ZAG. SERPENTINE.

Went right over my head that multiple actors have played him. He was just a big, giant mean dude in my mind, I guess.

Ugh that Rickon part...I made a joke on a GoT FB page I follow about how he should have zig zagged (it was a post along the lines of "What is a life lesson you learned from GoT?")and ended up getting mansplained by a bunch of guys about how that wouldn't have worked anyway. Maybe it wouldn't have but either way, Rickon didn't even try, man. Poor thing was so naive, or, ya know, just really, really scared.

Over the last year, I started reading again. Now I’m reading about 7 books/month, give or take. Should I read the GOT books, or will the differences bother me? My “to read” list on Goodreads is so lengthy sometimes it is intimidating, so the thought of adding more books for a story I already know seems unnecessary. But I feel like if I am a true fan, I should read them 🤔

I feel like once I get to this “zig zag” part I’m just going to laugh and think of these pictures you’re posting on here lol I am going to assume he must be killed by arrows then is what I gather. I am not at all attached to Rickon I don’t feel I even know him so I don’t think I will be upset, but what will upset me is knowing that Sansa and Jon want to go save him from Ramsey. Soooo likely I will still cry.

I don’t think I breathed for the entire Battle of the Bastards when I watched it the first time. It was the most intense thing

I know he does because I see him on s8 posters, so now I’m curious. Must bow out of the thread now until I finish up the season tomorrow! But I will likely cave and share my thoughts tonight lol

The first Daario looked like he belonged on the cover of a romance novel, not GOT.

McBenny where do you typically go for your theories/spoilers/etc? I watch GrayArea, TalkingThrones, TeflonTV, and Ser Hunts are my main channels.
I have not been 2 years without GOT. I have been watching GOT videos this whole time.
