Get her in to where? My dumbass was texting a friend and missed that whole conversation.

I'm thinking behind enemy lines in Renly's camp. I think it goes back to her threat about the worst comes at night in the shadows or something like that. Can't remember it 100% but it was her usual talk about her god but came off as a warning.

The only other thing I could think of is that he didn't want people there to know about his mistress and trying to get an heir but that's my second guess.

Crazy episode, will echo what others have said... that ending, damn! I mean the first season had hints of how mythical things could get with the white walkers, and whatnot, but to see that shadow thing, man, it's a whole new level.

I guess I'm the only one who wasn't affected by the ending, simply because I didn't understand it. I have no idea what just popped out of that woman and what it means. However, I am down to find out.

IT'S SOME SORT OF BEING, MAN! SAW THOSE LEGS AND SHIT ANIMATING.


Oh man, typing in caps is annoying.
 
Looks like Dany will be able to nurture the dragons in that city. Kind of weird that they were basically dying in the desert and now they're in fucking Shambala

All I could think of was Uncharted 3. That place is well hidden.

"There's no cure for being a cunt," is the line of the decade.

What Melisandre did at the end there is a gamechanger like the dragons for me. The poison trick was really interesting. Birthing a shadowy wraith-like character is pre-midseason snake in the mailbox.

I will jump for joy if and when Joffrey gets his comeuppance.
 
Great holy shit that was awesome!
Everyone was really on the mark this episode, so much great stuff to talk about.
Just give Peter Dinklage another emmy, maybe two lol. He's just killing he role this season.
I really wasn't sure how they would handle the ending of this episode...turns out they did it perfect.
 
yes. His entire demeanor is different, in addition to his face

What happened to the forces that were supposed to kill him in Season 1?

They're looking for "The Brotherhood."

Rather, they're torturing people for information on "The Brotherhood."

Ser Gregor Clegane doesn't look for things

Yea, I'm not gonna go to the other thread anymore. It's too dangerous. Not a good sign when the whole page is covered in black bars. Hardly any non-spoiler discussion can happen there.

Yeah, it's probably a good idea to avoid that thread if you don't want to be spoiled. Accidents happen.
 
Did they recast The Mountain this season? Didn't get a good look at him but his face seemed different.

Yep. New guy, same height, slimmer, but also less armored which contributes to looking a bit smaller. Gregor never talked last season, right? Could have been an acting decision. HBO portrayed it as a timing thing, but according to the original actor it was more HBO cutting ties with him, to which he proclaimed innocence of any reason why.

Probably for the best. Even things discussing the show will often have spoilers within the same post. Generally pretty good about marking, but the occasional mistake by a good poster, or the occasional asshole who doesn't read the rules make it dangerous.

Basically, night episode airs it is 90%- like the episode, can't wait to see this plot point coming up. Then the rest of the week is book speculation, or arguments about sexposition.

Once they make Cornballer the Mod in the North it might be a safer place.

I'm not sure what this has to do with my post you quoted? I was referring to the fact that in Season 1, Ned, acting as King, ordered The Mountain's execution. I don't remember ever hearing what the outcome of that was, except that obviously The Mountain is still alive. Later in Season 1, Tywin sends him to burn the Riverlands

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Awesome episode! Can someone explain what the whole Brotherhood thing was about? As far as I recall they were being pursued by knights from King's Landing about finding Robert's bastard and next thing I know they're in some prison town and being asked about the Brotherhood.

Also, have they even mentioned Melisandre's name at all? I don't think they have.

I'm pretty sure they have, but I might be mixing that up with some HBO GO sidebar stuff. Anyways, I thought it was pretty funny that in this episode Stannis scolds Davos for not using her name, and then in the next sentence he also calls her the Red Woman

Ned sent Ser Beric Dondarrion on a mission to bring Gregor to justice.

Since then, we haven't heard from Beric. We have heard from Gregor. Make of that what you will.

I'm sure they discussed their differences over tea and became great friends. Dondarrion is out buying them tickets for the Ice Capades.

See, The Mountain has a brother, The Hound. Since they both have Thes, they are collectively the The Brotherhood.

I thought it was pretty clear.

So, apparently the night really is dark and full of terrors.

Also, there are way too many different names to keep track of in this series.

He did speak : "BRING ME MY SWORD!" to cut his horse in half and then to try to do the same to Loras :p

Have we heard from Gregor? All I remember is him from Season 1 cutting his horse and half and now, the Lannister's men asking about "The Brotherhood" on Harrenhal (I think). I don't remember seeing him anywhere else. What did I miss?

Also, was the place the Prisoners were being hold Harrenhal? Because if not, I don't know where Harrenhal showed up.

From what I gathered from Arya and the other prisoners, the city was burned by dragons and they were in a village nearby, but the lannister's men were torturing the village, looking for "The Brotherhood" (and Silver and Gold), aka, The Mountain.

Is that right?

Edit: However, if they're looking for The Mountain (Gregor), and collectivelly they're "The Brotherhood" (as Cyan said), why are they looking for "The Brotherhood"? The Hound is in king's landing...

Anyone notice how Renly looks like Rody Walker from Protest the Hero?

Ah, forgot this. Still, it is possible they recast for acting reasons. Which wouldn't make sense, because Gregor doesn't need to act. I imagine the original actor pissed of the wrong person somehow. I can't imagine he was more expensive. He was a nobody before the show, and although he is getting roles now, I doubt he commands big money.

Drizzle,
Gregor was in the most recent episode. The really tall guy who picks prisoners. Recast. he was wearing the same/similar armor to season 1, but he was wearing a Lannister helmet rather than the bucket from season 1.

Prisoners being held in Harrenhall. Torturers are Gregor's mean. Gregor is looking for the Brotherhood. The show has not revealed what the Brotherhood is.

Cyan definitely nailed it, though. He is perceptive.

Thanks, that explains a lot.

He got a part on the Hobbit and therefore didn't have time to do Game of Thrones.

The end.

So the brotherhood is the brothers? Why would they ask about the brothers if they already know about them.....

Yes, that's what threw me into a loop and also made me lose track of some things.

AFAIK, we were not told what The Brotherhood is by the TV Show.

That was the initial speculation. He posted on his website a couple of weeks ago that it wasn't true, that they never contacted him to get back. Could have been a miscommunication, could be they wouldn't work with his schedule and it was bitter tears.

edit: added quote. Doesn't say never contacted, says different direction. So my information was somewhat inaccurate. But basically HBO didn't want him for some unspecified reason.


Conan Stevens said:
I had a great time working on GoT season 01 and the response from viewers to my character and portrayal seemed very positive. I was looking forward to being able to reprise the role for season 02, but it seems like HBO decided to go in a different direction for the 2nd season and I will not be playing Ser Gregor this time around which is a pity.

Of course, if I were asked to appear in season 03 I would be very excited to do so.

I'm sorry. The last part was a joke. Viewers have not been given any information on who the Brotherhood is yet.

Seriously? I hadn't heard that. Interesting.

We have no idea what the brotherhood is. Gregor is the Mountain. He was there at Harrenhold and the other brother is the Hound. Nobody is looking for them, they're just joking about their names. The Mountain, The Hound, obviously they are the The Brotherhood

Dunno if I need to spoiler this cause it was explained pretty clearly a few episodes ago
he is the rightful king, the bastard son of King Baratheon

This brings up something I am confused about despite reading the books.
What is the ruling on succession for bastard born children? Up until now I had assumed that it was first to legitimate sons, then to legitimate daughters, then to siblings, then to uncles and aunts. Wasn't the point of getting rid of the bastard children of Robert just to remove suspicion about Joffrey not being Robert's son?
