GoT Episode Investigation S3 Ep 8 - 10

SEASON 3 EPISODE 8 - SECOND SONS
Synopsis from HBO GO: King's Landing hosts a wedding, and Tyrion and Sansa spend the night together. Dany meets the Titan's Bastard. Davos demands proof from Melisandre. Sam and Gilly meet an older gentleman.

Clues/Evidence/Thoughts:

- Arya & the Hound - she's been learning a LOT since leaving King's Landing. This relationship teaches her what she is capable of, and shows gives her that powerful feeling she learns of from Jaqen back in Harrenhal. Sweet revenge.

- Davos learns to read. How long did he really think he could make it as Hand of the King to Stannis if he's illiterate? What a weirdo.

- Tyrion promises to never hurt Sansa. He continues to be good to her. This has to play a part in the future. They're separated from each other so quickly that things between them are left open. Does their marriage still count? Probably not, but they have a connection. Tyrion's past relationship with both Sansa AND Jon must prove useful to Daenarys next season.

- I love when Tyrion talks back to Joffrey. He openly threatens the King in front of EV-ERYBODY! Drunk or not, it was awesome!

- Sam & Gilly make camp in an abandoned cabin next to a weirwood tree. A bunch of ravens show up and seem to be watching them. Then an Other shows up. Were the crows there to warn them? What was the deal there? We've seen the ravens around before the Others show up before. Are they the eyes of the Children of the Forest?

- Sam kills the White Walker and we see the power of Dragonglass.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 9 - THE RAINS OF CASTAMERE
Synopsis from HBOGo: Robb presents himself to Walder Frey, and Edmure meets his bide. Jon faces his harshest test yet. Bran discovers a new gift. Daario and Jorah debate how to take Yunkai. House Frey joins with House Tully.

Clues/Evidence/Thoughts:

- Robb plans to take Casterly Rock. If he lived he would have learned that the Rock was dry. I wonder what he would have done with that information.

- Sam plans to enter the Wall via the Nightfort. I forgot about this scene, but I remember the part in the book. It's much better and magical in the book.

- Gilly says Sam is a wizard, which is what he always wanted to be when he was a kid. His maester training could make him into a wizard of sorts, if he's allowed or decides to study magic.  He sees magic happen, so I'm sure the interest he had has only grown.

- Arya staring at the Twins! It's heartbreaking! She's so damn close!

- Bran learns how to control his warning. This is the first time he wargs into Hodor and purposefully wargs into Summer.

- I remember the first time watching the Red Wedding. It was the first time I yelled out loud at my television. My wife and I were completely shocked by what we had just seen. Now I watch it and all I think about is how I can't wait til I get to the Mountain vs. the Viper, the battle at the Wall, the battle at Hardhome, and the battle of the bastards! So much great stuff to look forward to in a re-watch! WHAT ARE WE GONNA SEE IN SEASON 7???!!!!!! I'll tell you what I think tomorrow!

SEASON 3 EPISODE 10 - MHYSA
Synopsis from HBOGo: Joffrey challenges Tywin. Bran tells a ghost story. In Dragonstone, mercy comes from strange quarters. Dany waits to see if she is a conqueror or a liberator.

Clues/Evidence/Thoughts:

- Arya becomes No One to lure a Frey soldier in and expose a vulnerable spot. It's quite brilliant actually and really shows how much she's learned. No wonder Jaqen invited her to Braavos.

- We learn that Aegon I carved and painted that awesome table at Dragonstone. If I meet a some dude named Aegon who does woodworking, I'm totally hiring him.

- Davos helps Gendry escape. Where does he go? King's Landing? North? Hmmm....

- Melisandre throws Aemon's message into the fire and seems to get a vision. What she says just confirms her talk about the coming of the Long Night. Then she tells Stannis only he can stop it. Is she seeing a vision of Azor Ahai that she thinks is Stannis? Like a shadowed person fighting with a flaming sword? DAMMIT I WANT ANSWERS ALREADY! JUNE CAN'T GET HERE FAST ENOUGH!!!

- Stannis says something about Davos being saved by the "fire god you like to mock." and then, "you're a part of his army now." He's right, but not in the way that he thinks. I really think Davos is tied tight to R'hllor. A lot of his power depends on faith, and Davos is a man full of it.
