Granny Tyrell is That Granny. Side note, if you Google Diana Rigg (the actress that plays her) and Natalie Dormer (the actress that plays Margaery) you’ll find a image of a young Diana next to Natalie. The similarities are amazing.
Lady Stark’s monologue about Jon Snow is particularly poignant. She sees herself as the cause of all the trouble her family has fallen into for her inability to put aside her pride and love a motherless child.
In the books, most of the Stark kids are either wargs or at least have dreams of being in their direwolves.
The Brotherhood Without Banners. Ok. So remember when Ned (bless his memory) sat on the throne for a hot second while Robert went on his fatal hunting trip? He charged a man named Beric Dondarrion to take 100 men and bring in The Mountain for questioning, basically. He did so, but eventually they couldn’t capture the Mountain and, without further orders, they decided to protect the ordinary citizens from the machinations of the war. Some Robin Hood type shit. That’s really all you need to know because you’ll learn more later.
Only one more thing. The guy who Arya challenged to a fight in the tavern? That’s Thoros of Myr. In the lore, they talked of the Greyjoy Rebellion and when they took the main castle on Pyke, Thoros was the first one through the door basically. He’s kind of a legend.
This season is a hell of a ride. Buckle up, our sweet summer child.
