GOT - there will be spoilers

I wondered why the reaction.
The line occurs in Season 3, Episode 6. The hour’s title, “The Climb,” most obviously refers to the ascent of the Wall by Jon and the wildlings, but it also connects to Littlefinger’s monologue to fellow spymaster Varys, who finds Baelish sitting next to the Iron Throne admiring its many blades. Littlefinger reminds the Spider, “Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder,” which he plans to take every advantage of.

That was an incredibly deep puddle Jamie landed in. He'll be fine. The next episode will see Bronn pulling him out of the water downpuddle. Farked if I know where they are but given distances no longer mean anything they will probably meet up with Sandor and the Brotherhood. Was probably the intention 2 seasons back but the show runners had him return from the Riverlands after the fuckers didn't even give the Blackfish a screen death. Still not sure why they even bothered to send him up there.
Seems they're trying to make Dani a bad guy. She gets total proof that they're up against an army of white zombies that will wipe them all out if they don't do something , but only pledges aid if John bends the knee. Wtf?
They really don't know what to do with Littlefinger any more do they? The master schemer is like a loser at a party going from person to person hoping someone will like him. He even gives them free shit and they still tell him to fark off. The freak that was once Bran will probably divulge all the shit he's done.

I was surprised nobody of note died in that battle - very un-GOT like. Wonder if the writers are not as comfortable as Martin killing off main characters.
Loving it though, movie quality battles in a TV show is just awesome. The Dragons look genuinely bad-ass, and the fire incinerating everything in its path was evil as fuck.
-
Wow, what a couple of weeks for episodes 3 and 4.
Holy crap where to begin.
Two of the biggest most influential houses brought to an ignominious end in just 2 hours of viewing.
It was especially galling that house Tyrell went down so easily when they were known to have such a large and great army - which one assumes that Lady Olenna took with her when she fled Kings Landing.
After all, it was the Tyrell army that turned the tide at the Battle of Blackwater bay.
And so what, Bronn wanted to be rewarded with Highgarden yet Jamie insisted they just walk away from it... hmmmm? Only the single most important castle in the Southern part of Westeros.
I don't think that we have seen the last of Ellaria Sand as yet as well as Yarra Greyjoy. Certainly I think/hope Ellaria has a bigger part to play.
Sad to see crusty old Lady Olenna go out that way but at least she got to give some good shots of her own on Cersei.
As you said @Rancid-Schnitzel , some massive plot holes.
This whole thing just reeks of convenient holes in the plot to remove the minor characters so that it just leaves the mad chicks go at it one on one... Cersei V Dany (plus a little John Snow)
What a fantastic battle scene, best so far this season and those dragons, hell yeah!
Whilst I can understand all the man love for Bronn, and yes his character is still one of the best, that battle showed that he really isn't a great set battle fighter or strategist, but instead relies very heavily on "unconventional" tactics.
He wasn't able to really take on the Dothraki one on one so he resorted to that scorpion.
One assumption is, that it was Bronn who saved Jamie... but was it? The footage wasn't clear who actually saved him.
Second, who will save Jamie from the very deep water.
Yet another plot hole, amazing the water was so deep being so close to the edge of that small river.
The second quibble I have with that whole scene is that there is no way in hell a scorpion such as that is one-man-operable.
So 4 episodes in and the scoreboard reads
Cersei 2 v Dany 1But the wound inflicted by Dany to the Lannister army now even things up. Hard to tell if that was the bulk of the Lannister army but it sure looked like a good proportion. Now Dany has to take the other dragons and hunt down Euron's fleet and burn them like she did to the Masters in Slavers Bay.
So for Dany, she still has most of the Dothraki and now it should make it easier for the Unsullied to withdraw from Casterly Rock and meet up with the Dothraki, which means Dany has the biggest army in Westeros.
Is Jamie rescued by Tyrion or someone else loyal to her? If so, will Jamie now be Dany's hostage? Hostage swap anyone?

Very cool find. Was wondering why Bran said that. Love how GoT manages to pull all these things from previous seasons into the current plot lines.

@RoninWC does seem too convenient for it to be Bronn that saves Jamie, but I suspect he will get saved tom the water and become a hostage, not sure Cersei would trade anyone for him though, too cold that one.
I think the water depth is probably exaggerated for dramatic effect.

'Only a fool would take on the Dothraki in an open field' - Robert Baratheon
Watching again, that shot of Drogon coming over the hoard from a side shot is a thing of beauty, as is the look on Jamie's face when he first hears then sees Drogon flying towards him,
-
I initially thought it was Dickon that saved Jamie, as he did earlier in the battle. I thought Tyrion was too far away to get there in time.
@RoninWC I assume another key point from that battle is that all of the gold they stole from the Tyrell's went up in Dragon smoke so they are now unable to pay their massive debt to the Iron bank, so won't have their backing/support anymore?

that was a fun hour of television. About time that sullen arrogant bitch got off her ass and actually did something, rather than just whinging and trying to get blokes to go down on her.
Giving Jon Snow shit about his "pride"? Pot kettle bitch.
Bronn has been the best character for fucking ages now, but seriously, at this rate they've basically made him a super hero.
Dragons are fucking awesome. They are going to have to build a fuckload of them fancy crossbows to be effective against 3 of them.
My guess with Bran is, we see him as the guy who can fill in everybody's blanks, and help out. He however, has zero fucks to give about anybody really, so he probably doesn't even think to tell them anything, especially if it doesn't help the "bigger picture".
While the stuff down south makes for cool battles and a bit of scheming, i wish they would just make with the fire v ice fight already.
Bronn is tough as fuck but fights dirty. Maybe he thought he couldn't take that Dothraki fella in hand to hand combat? In any case the Ballista made short work of that fight.
I think it's very refreshing that, with all the hot totty floating around the show, the character you most want to fuck is the battered bloke with the face like a 2003-era English rugby forward.
I get enough love in real life. The days of pausing tits on tv for a quick flog are long gone.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
I am and I will. The comments from all the sex starved fluffybunnies on here are grim warning of what lies ahead.
Surely Daenerys could just order her Dragons to find Eurons fleet and finish them too but in true GoT style it won't be anywhere near that simple.

No the gold made it to kings landing
Sams asshole dad mentions it earlier before things turned to shit.
They did lose all their food though -
@Virgil as well as losing a few troops...in reality, replacing the losses to thier army would seem impossible anywhere but Westeros
Yeah they said at the start the gold had made it, but I guess in true GOT fashion, did it really?
-
@Virgil I just didn't get that approach. Surely you fry the soldiers first then take the supplies? I guess it was shock and awe though... with just a touch of dragon fire!

Did you not pick up on the look on Littledick's face when Bran said that? Only two people were in that conversation yet somehow Bran can quote it back. He is now shitting himself.
It was more the look of scheming on his face while watching Arya that intrigues me.
The best bit about Littledick's character is that you have no idea what he is thinking.Yes, the gold is at King's Landing and Cersei will buy probably pay her debt then get financed to get a mercenary army to replace what she has just lost.
The biggest plot hole in that episode is why Dani sacrificed so many Dothraki. If they had simply come over the hill and held back the Lannisters were trapped between them and the lake. Dani could have arrived from the side and toasted the whole army.

I watched the battle again. So brilliant. Bronn only ran from that Dothraki cos he was on horseback I reckon. he took a couple out en route to the Ballista.
Speaking of which I'm not sure the Dothraki are the super fighters that everyone makes out. Impossible to tell who woulda won if the Dragon hadn't shown up ( and obviously that happening turned it into a complete arse raping ).
I suspect it was Dickon ( hehe) who saved Jaime.

A big chunk of the Tyrell army was the Tarly's, Randall (Sam's asshole Dad) turning on Lady Olenna was the tipping point. They had a specific scene in King's Landing earlier in the season persuading Randall for this reason.

Sadly not, the actress has confirmed she isn't dead but never reappears, just chilling in the cell forever with her daughters skeleton. Ouch.

Just watched the battle again and slomoed the Jamie scene. I'm 99% certain it was Bronn. Definitely not Dickoff.

The stupid thing is the Tarly defection itself. The entire family of his liege lord were blown up by Cercei, who now has every single region against her. Yet he betrays the family he has fought for and made an oath to so as to throw in his lot with Cercei. Not bloody likely.

Not unless he can teleport himself like Little finger apparently can.
