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.

      I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Microsoft Eyes DeepSeek V4 for Copilot Cowork: What Azure Hosting Cannot Fix

      Microsoft officially launched its Copilot Cowork enterprise AI agent on June 16, 2026, switching to usage-based pricing on the same day it disclosed it is considering a Microsoft-hosted version of China's DeepSeek V4 as a lower-cost engine for the platform — a pairing that puts the company on a collision course with both its enterprise customers' security teams and a White House that has spent months trying to wall off Chinese AI from American infrastructure.................... https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318647/20260618/microsoft-eyes-deepseek-v4-copilot-cowork-what-azure-hosting-cannot-fix.htm

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
