That makes sense.

I didn't think the kids died, at last not yet.

EDIT: I read up more on this.

"They are not dead. He faked their deaths by killing the orphan kids. They are hiding down in the crypts."

Right.

In the books, they don't talk about the orphan kids or the farm until much later. Its left to the reader to believe it was Bran and Rickon he hunted and killed. In the books, the 4 of them (Bran, Rickon, Hodor, Osha) never even leave Winterfell. They hide in the crypts for weeks.

Right, it really has nothing to do with the 'show'. Both of those conversations were lifted directly from the books. Although, the images are little misleading. He didn't kill Ser Barristan as it seems to imply. Selmy is the old knight in the bottom two left pictures that was forced off the Kingsguard in Book1/Season1. You'll see him again.

Yeah, whoever made the pic could have done a better job. And what's with the quotation 'marks?'

I wonder why they changed the deaths from cutting the heads off and tarred to just burned. and I wish they left the death a surprise. I think the shock of viewers from ned starks death last season and the drop off of viewership the next week had something to do with it????

Just completed up to eps 7. I read the books while waiting for s1 and s2. I can't wait for Theon in s5. The show is making him out to be more of a d-bag that i got from the book. He did not have a big roll until his was more off the pages.

I love the interaction between Ary and Tyrin. While that is not in the book I think it makes much better tv. Glad they shortened that part of the book but takes away from all the pain and **** she has to go through in her journey.

You know nothing John Snow..is my favorite saying of overused sayings in the books.

There's not even that much sex/nudity?!? It's certainly not just there for the point of it anyway. Compared to sparticus it's like sesame street pron wise and violence wise.

I really thought the scene with Joffry shuving that object up the ###### ass was awesome the way it really made you realise just how sick he really is.

Yeah he is a sick bitch.

anyone feel that the violence is more toned down this season compared to the first season? like...a lot of the gore is cut out of the frame and left to the viewer's imagination? it wasn't like that in the first season...kinda miss it..

Yeah I feel the sex and violence toned down. I thought D was supposed to be wearing clothes like everyone else in quarth with a breast showing. there are tons of examples of joff being sick that could be shown.

    • Classic 7 is Windows 10 LTSC cosplaying as Windows 7

      Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
