What a time 2011 was! The Playboy Club aired for three episodes and was promptly forgotten. Piers Morgan's terrible CNN show made it's terrible debut. And all of the Westerosi kids still looked like kids! What a time to be alive.
Let us reminisce about these Salad Days. What are your favorite season one scenes? Here are some suggestions!
As always, MARK YOUR SPOILERS. If it's a book spoiler, say it is. If it's a TV spoiler, list the episode number.
No illegal links/leaks/whatever. Duh.
And do try not to be a dick about opinions/interpretations/whatever - as a wise man once said, "It's only tits and dragons."

Jesus this photo looks like it was taken on a flip-phone
2011 was basically the stoneage, I think we can all agree
Edit: Oh, I guess Rickon was out of the picture even earlier than I rememberd

And going back through the books, it is really easy to see why the third book became two seasons while the fourth book...had a few episodes. Nothing happens in a feast for crows. And, what's worse, it uses a bunch of narrators you don't care about talking about shit you aren't interested in.
I also have a hundred bucks on
Characters we saw that we haven't seen since season four:
Brandon Stark
Meera Reed
Hodor
Three-Eyed Raven
Characters we saw that we haven't seen since season three:
Edmure Tully
Walder Frey
Characters we saw that we haven't seen since season fucking one:
Benjen Stark
Characters we saw that were dead before this show even friggin' started:
Gerold Hightower
Arthur Dayne
Oswell Went
King friggin' Aerys, of all people
I'm sure I'm missing folks, but jeezy petes are they committing to tying this all together. No stone* left unturned
I just realized something from this episode:
Which was Aerys plan, but it never succeeded. And some of the wildfire pots were found when Tyrion started making new ones for his Blackwater plan, but probably 90% are still hidden away.
If a dragon does come to King's landing and tosses out s fiery lance, then it will just explode in a giant, green fireball like Aerys wanted. And since Bran is seeing this in a greenseer vision...
...
King's landing is so fucked, you guys.
Speculations
Also fuck yah Coldhands, MVP of the episode. Honorable mention to Walder Frey for being back and shit-lording it up.
Lady Stoneheart coming?
I reckon so:
You get the knife you used to kill this character and you get the knife you used to kill that character, then go and remind him who was married at the Red Wedding, his nephew!
I mean, no shit. They couldn't have found a less clumsy way to say that? Like just say "remind him it was his nephew that was married at the Red Wedding"
I thought
In the show, that marriage was nulled when he went to Dorne with Jaime in that entirely worthwhile plot point.
He was last mentioned in this very episode when Jaime was saying he wanted to get Bronn and a hundred armed swords to kill the high sparrow.
I am guessing he will travel with Jaime and be both a soundboard for him to talk to on the road as well as a training partner, effectively replacing the part of Payne from the books.
On another note, since one storyline from the books hasn't shown up yet, I have a guess as to how the show's story will go:
It helps that basically nobody gives a shit about Dorne, either in the books or in the show? Though I would rather read about Dorne than the fucking Iron Island plot points.

book spoiler
She's in good with this acting troupe, now. Acting troupes travel. We haven't seen Arya make inroads with any other traveling entities, so it seems like this is gonna be her escape route. And there's no way in hell they're taking this particular show on the Westeros road. So, Meereen it is.
Where this gets even more interesting, narratively, is Arya has now learned (through the play) all the shit that Tyrion's been up to. Through a skewed lens, yes, but nonetheless - she's learned a lot of shit about him that she was previously completely unaware of.
Interesting stuff, interesting stuff.
Boy, it's nice to be excited about this show again. What a comeback from a horrid season.
I hope Margery is actually converted and not faking.
I don't think Arya is cut out for this line of work.
Jaime's kinda screwing up the plausible deniability part of the plan by being there. Yessss, I hope Tommen is off the deep end. Ahh, it seems this is Tywin: Electric Boogaloo's plan.
Awwwww yisssssss, Benjen. I am pretty sure they had Kit Harridon doing the initial voice to throw people off, cos he sounded very similar.
Yes. yes. and more yes.
book
edit- I just watched like 10 hype videos.
Maisie Williams is easily my favorite of the unknowns who have gotten their careers made from this show
She just does not give a shit
Arya was good in this episode, but I can help but feel her entire time at the temple was then just wasted? I mean what did she learn from them? I think adventures in the travelling minstrels could be fun though.
I just don't give a fuck with all of this high sparrow bullshit and tommund in general. I'm genuinely upset that the martells didn't march in because it means more of this bullshit.
Can someone remind me what was going on in river run? I didn't really get what was going on then as it was full of people I forgot.
Satans..... hints.....
Satans..... hints.....
I just hope that they are setting up (book spoilers)
I mean holy fuck.
Like wouldn't he know already? That was part of her crimes from the high sparrow. The dude admitted to it didn't he?
