It wasn't Jon's plan to let the two cavalries fight it out, Tormund just ordered the charge to save Jon's ass after he fell for Ramsey's taunting. What bothers me is that with this setup, the Stark force was unlikely to succeed and then Jon reduced their winning chances to 0 and then Middlefinger came to save the day. I mean, if the Starks are supposed to be the protagonists, when will they actually accomplish something? The only one who managed to do anything up until now was Jon and even he "only" kept the Other situation from becoming worse than it already was. Daenerys right now feels like a carbon copy of Sansa to me now. She stands there with that smug smirk, but I don't hear any cogs turning in her head. Unlike Sansa she just has dragons behind her so she gets to do what the other doesn't. The negotiation with the Greyjoys was pretty weak as well. She tells them to stop raiding. Ooookay. I'm sure the rocks they live on will spontaneously grow farming fields and exra land so they won't need to raid. Or something. (To be fair, considering all the crap that went down and will go down, there might be a big enough economical vacuum that they could switch to trading, but they didn't even bring any of this up.) And the people who've spent centuries/millenia cultivating a pirate culture will find this just a dandy idea I'm sure. I liked the battle itself mostly, especially that gorgeous Oner (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheOner).

Except that's not at all what happened.

So they wasted a whole army because sombody didn't tell anyone that they have reinforcements incoming. Can I call her stupid now?
-
In her Pov chapters Cersei sends her handmaiden's to Qyburn and the screaming is enough for even her to not want to know what he does with them. Schemes for the Kettleblack bros to seduce Margery for the whole trial thing. Etc etc. Oh and she looked down on Tonmen for not being her awesome, great Joffrey. So yeah. Book humanization just didn't happen. Jon did try several times to explain why they don't need an extra xx thousand zombie wildling breathing down on their necks. They could barely hold the Wall against the wildling army and later they want to face the "surviving" wildlings and the Others and all the other zombies with even fewer numbers. If simple math wasn't enough to convince them, nothing else would have so Jon had two suicidal chose and he went with the one that got only himself killed.

Fun fact, in the books Ned dies because Sansa pulls a retard.
-
I think between Meera and Benjen, Meera will do more sled pulling before Bran gets her killed and/or bones her.

Since the next episode will be The Battle of the Bastards, I thought they're going to use ep 8 to set the stage and maybe unleash a double episode of bastard on bastard action. Now with ep 8 behind us, my current guess would be ep 9 being the setup and ep 10 the actual battle. Which, if we're lucky, won't mean that Littlefinger just says hy with his dudes and suddenly WAR! and they'll spend some more time gathering allies and we could have that lovely, lovely Manderly scene. Though I guess the feast won't happen either way, which is just as much of a shame. And maybe The North stops having amnesia and they start remembering and Ramsey will suddenly lose a bunch of allies. Which is a dumb enough twist for it to be likely. As for Euron... dammit, I want Victarion.

I wonder why they make a TV show when all the good stuff happens off screen. Not that the Blackfish's BS death was a good thing, but you know what I mean.

I wasn't impressed by her tbh.
-
A good chunk of the characters we liked have died already and there's an upcoming zombie apocalypse, so it's going to be bittersweet either way. As for Sansa, she's kind of all over the place. She randomly starts copying Brienne's Stannis hate even tho she never even met either him or Renly, she dropped all the shrewedness that was figuratively and literally beaten into her and just shouts commands at people, and she just doesn't really do anything. And that's partly why I said the writer aren't doing anything with her. Her was she and Jon, trying to unite the North and suddenly Jon can barely say anything, Sansa's just background and everyone blames Robb for being betrayed via breaking of hospitality laws. Which got even funnier when Glover mentioned how they'd flay him for talking to Jon. Wonderful replacement for the Starks indeed. But I digress. So, it just feels like she stands there but doesn't seem to actually learn or actively help. Oh and she let Littlefinger walk away even though she was sure he screwed her over intentionally.
-
It's like the writers don't really know what to do with her. I feel kind of bad for her now really. :D

"Darkwater... nothing could've prepared me for what I found there... Darkness..."

I'm looking forward to this game.

The faceless men are a bit poorly explained I think, even in the books. First Littlefinger says how the Seven Kingdoms would go bankrupt if they hired a faceless man. Later we're told they want something precious to the customer in exchange (at least that's what I remember, feel free to correct me). And now we have a jealous actress. What could she give up, her acting career?
-
If there's an Elo system or similar, you probably got them because they had low MMR.
-
I managed to run the Steam version except: If I fiddle in the configuration launcher, the game won't start until I undo the changes. And when I play the game, combat lags like an MMO in beta.
-
Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Does anyone know if the GoG version of Disciples 2 functions on Win 7? I couldn't achieve much with the Steam version. >.>
-
They're vague hints. Actually, more a combination of a vision of Melisandre and what Bloodraven says to Bran. Besides, the timeline has been stated to be inaccurate so often we can pretty much assume it is out of whack. I don't think that D&D made the origins of the Others up (they are, after all, vulnerable to the one substance the Children made their weapons from). That feels like a stretch to me, but fair enough.
-
Considering he failed to learn anything from getting crippled and got a bunch of people killed for not listening to Three-eyes's warnings... probably nothing. I don't remember anything like this in the books, and upon double checking, neither does the wiki. http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Children_of_the_forest#History The Children and the First Men were at war for 2000 years before they made peace. Then 4000 years later the Others showed up. Fixed Martin's mistakes, except where they didn't and then added their own. Yay?

Grabbed Left4Rats in the Steam sale. It's great fun so far, Despite our Bright Wizard's constant running ahead. Melee is fun, the loot system is interesting and the levels are entertaining so far. I can't praise the visuals because my PC can't go above Lowest settings. :D

Do keep us updated on the quality of the SP campaign please.

Eh, about a year ago I think? I'm not sure. Not that long ago. Some months back though, yes. July 16th 2015 http://www.neocoregames.com/2015/07/announcing-warhammer-40000-inquisitor-martyr/ Huh... time sure flies I guess.
