Kills

10:59 (+2) Tormund Giantsbane:

Tormund cuts down the first of Alliser Thorne's men who is foolish enough to charge at him. (Kill of Unnamed Character)

11:17 (+2) Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun:

Wun Weg rips down one of Ser Alliser Thorne's crossbowman from the battlements after he looses a bolt at him. He's smashed against the castle wall, and then thrown across the courtyard, prompting the rest of the Night's Watch to throw down their weapons. (Kill of Unnamed Character)

44:08 (+10) Euron Greyjoy:

Euron throws his brother Balon Greyjoy over the bridge at Pyke and into the sea. "I am the storm, brother. The first storm and the last. And you're in my way." (Kill of Named Character)

Political Wins

10:12 (+3) Tormund Giantsbane:

Tormund successfully leads the Wildlings to victory at Castle Black, after Ser Alliser Thorne and his men throw down their weapons after a display of Wun Wun's force. (Victorious Battle)

submitted by nyan (approved!)

41:21 (+3) Balon Greyjoy:

Balon commands that the Ironborn should continue attacking the mainland over Yara Greyjoy's protests.
Yara: "We took those castles because the Northerners marched off to war. That war is over. The last time we provoked them too far, I watched from that window as they breached our walls and knocked down our towers. I lost two brothers that day."
Balon: "And I lost three sons. ... when you rule the Iron Islands you can wage all the peace you want but for now shut your mouth and obey or I will make another heir who will." (Executive Decision)

Dispute. The points are valid but they should be under insults as a Threat. He didn't make any decisions, he just refused to change his mind. -alicehanners

He made the decision ages ago, off-screen. Yara keeps trying to change his mind and failing. He didn't make any new decisions in this scene though. -alicehanners

If that's the reasoning--asserting their political power--what power did Balon actually assert? He didn't send Yara on any missions, didn't tell her to do or not do anything except be quiet, and I hope we aren't giving out points every time someone tells someone to be quiet :P

However, I would not consider Robert's second assertion as a decision. He made the decision in the small council. Ned tried to change his mind--Yara tries to change Balon's mind about going for more inland holdings--and both fail. It's a failure for Ned and Yara, not a success for Robert or Balon.

In a perfect parallel to Yara/Balon, Ramsay tries to convince Roose to go against Castle Black. Roose refuses. Yet he gets no political points. Possibly because Ramsay then kills him, but if Balon's "decision" counts, then Roose's decision counts as well. It's the same kind of "decision," it was already made before this episode. -alicehanners

I think Roose should get points there, too. He's presented with two options, stay the course or do something else, and over his subordinates' protests he makes a choice. -nsimmonds

Insults Delivered / Funny Lines

11:48 (+3) Tormund Giantsbane:

Alliser Thorne: "For thousands of years, the Night's Watch has held Castle Black against the Wildlings."
Tormund: "Until you." (Witty Insult)

22:03 (+3) Tyrion Lannister:

Tyrion: "Dragons do not do well in captivity."
Missandei: "How do you know this?"
Tyrion: "That's what I do. I drink and I know things." (Funny Line)

submitted by wpearsal (approved!)

22:46 (+3) Tyrion Lannister:

reasoning with Varys as he disapproves of Tyrion's alcoholism: "If I'd lost my cock, I'd drink all the time." (Funny Line)

22:55 (+3) Tyrion Lannister:

to Varys: "If I'd lost my cock, I'd drink all the time."
to Greyworm: "... meaning no offense. He makes dwarf jokes, I make eunuch jokes."
Varys: "I do NOT make dwarf jokes."
to Varys: "You think them." (gives Varys the eye) (Funny Line)

I thinks scoring all three of these as separate funny lines is a stretch. This comment alone isn't particularly funny, and it's more of a general exchange. I'll grant that maybe the two could be separate--one is the eunuch joke, the other is an exchange saving face in front of Grey Worm. -alicehanners

Yeah, Tyrion sometimes has these scenes that are just written as comic sequences. Combined with how fantastic Peter Dinklage is at delivering them, it almost makes it too easy for Tyrion. Will likely fold this 2nd and the 3rd event (http://fantasora.com/event/1985) together. -nyan

Podrick not being able to start the fire could be seen as a failed attempt at a basic task -kmahan

This will be rejected, I just wanted an event to talk about how close Podrick was to NOT starting a fire after flicking at the flintstone for a good 10 seconds. Alas he's now competent at a lot of things. -nyan

Seems a lot of people actually though the opposite - added! To add evidence to Pod's incompetence, the 12 seconds of spark-making Podrick is alone, and in the next shot when we finally see the fire get started, Brienne has arrived to supervise Pod. -nyan
