Those photos lend credence to my theory that Theon Greyjoy is a secret Lannister bastard! Okay I don’t really have that theory but I didn’t expect him to be blond. ---

Well, then…it was only a matter of time when Billy Idol’s “White Wedding” was combined with “The Red Wedding.” Here they are: [(A Nice Day for) The Red Wedding](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehva5dHjMUw) - This was done before the airing of 03x09 [The RED WEDDING (Billy Idol Cover)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYFoa0e36_Y) [Red Wedding (Game of Thrones)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_wi-5V1d4&list=UUH68c_1LNHg8_wDd_3D3qbg&index=1) Some have better lyrics than others…“Crossbow!” being one of them… ---

I am assuming that John Bradley doesn’t wear a beard wig (do they make those)? Maybe he shaves it during the long, long offseason. But some of those photos are like: "look! we found a picture from awhile ago! See how different they look when out of costume (and a few years ago). Isaac Hempstead-Wright is of course notable, having puberty since S1 (who’s knife is that, by the way?) ---

It has already been shown in season 1 or 2 that Pycelle is faking the “old frail trembling thing” (he’s acting his usual self while bedding a prostitute, and as soon as she leaves the room, he straightens up and begins exercising). ---

> [@EllisDee](#): > > That prostitute was the dearly departed Ros, if I recall correctly. Pycelle was with Ros once, I think. And we saw him again with an unnamed prostitute. Tyrion made a point of leaving her a coin. ETA: That’s still a good catch. We haven’t seen Pycelle fake being feeble for a long time. ---

> [@clairobscur](#): > > I stand corrected, then. But was I the only one who didn’t notice the direwolves looked large (I did notice the dead one at the beginning, but for the other emples mentioned and linked too, I didn’t). Maybe they should have emphasized it, for instance with someone standing besides one in a clear shot and maybe a comment about its size being made… I rewatched an episode from Season 1, the one where Ghost warns Jon about the zombie. Maybe he wasn’t full grown at the time but Ghost was just a regular large dog size and they showed them close together enough that there was no doubt. Also, am I the only one who has no interest in watching other people tape themselves watching tv shows? I mean if I wanted to watch other people’s reactions then I would be more sociable and actually do things with other people, like watch tv shows. ---

Agreed. Laughing at them when they’re plainly horrified and upset is even worse. Someone remind me, please - in what book and chapter does Samwell describe the ultimatum his dad gave him to force him to join the Night’s Watch? ---

I don’t understand what is so hard about the concept of NO BOOK talk in these threads? I know it seems minor… but as soon as I see something like “Well, in the book…” I have to avert my eyes because I DO NOT want to inadvertently see something I didn’t want to. I DON’T know what you guys are talking about–it could be completely innocuous–but I don’t want to see it because I don’t want to risk it. Can you guys use spoiler tags at least? ---
