The Sons of the Harpies burned all her ships. Euron Greyjoy's idea was to use their fleet to help her get her army to Westeros. Either that or Yara and Theon will use their ships and get to her first.
Can you imagine all the eunuch jokes Tyrion would have with Varys and Theon available?

I think that's what Yara and Theon are planning to do when they took off with all the best ships. They are going to beat their uncle to the punch and create an alliance with Dany.

Not so much warged him, but tried to talk to him and all Aerys heard were voices in his head which eventually made him mad.

this theory has picked up a lot of steam ever since the tower of joy episode.
We shall see, i'm intrigued as to how many things that have already happened have been affected by bran. |

Hmmm...weren't the voices telling Aerys to "Burn them all."? I wonder where that came from? I think the Red Witch who met with Tyrion and Varys said something like that about burning all non-believers.

IIRC, he was going "crazy" because he heard voices.
"Burn them all" is what the king uttered. Specifically, jamie told Ned this.. i think it was something like.. "do you know what the mad kings last words were as i killed em?"... "Burn them all"
someone correct me if im wrong please! |

I believe you are correct.
Also I believe "Burn them all" could be in reference to the White Walkers.

After months of pressure from pretty much everyone I know, I finally decided to watch and finish the first episode of this show everyone seems to like. About a year ago, I attempted to watch it and fell asleep. But I must say, it wasn't too bad. I don't expect it to be as great as Breaking Bad, for instance, but if they can make it entertaining, I'll stick around.

 Welcome aboard. That Breaking Bad comparison is tough because the shows are so completely different and because of the Song of Ice and Fire books exist. However, it's easy to conclude that both shows are tremendous. Hopefully you haven't internalized any spoilers for Thrones. |

Better late than never! The positive, you can binge your heart away 
BB and GoT are "A+" shows, just different genres. I didn't start watching GoT until the 3rd season and it's been amazing.
BB I didn't watch until season 3 or 4 and binged like crazy

There's alot of characters and locations in the story, and it can get a little confusing.
So just so you know, this is the hero of the story.

It would be pretty fitting if his death scene is Ghost chewing his face off. |

IIRC the 2nd and 3rd episode are kind of awful, but stick around till episode 8ish, gets super intense there. |

We don't know that Hodor's dead, we just know that he's scratched up good.

This was my exact sentiment a year ago. I mean frign exact! Breaking Bad was my measuring stick as well. It was like being dumped by the perfect woman. You'll never find anything as good. However, as Christopher C pointed out, you'll find that they're just different. Not necessarily better or worse. Just different.
I watched the first episode and went on a 5 day binge though. You're going to get lost with all the characters at first. If you're not already. This helped me out tremendously while I was getting started. I recommend you stick with it bud. You wont regret it.
You're going to love Joffrey.  |

| I have seen both shows and Game of Thrones is better to me. Season 1 of Breaking Bad was kinda weak imo. |

I'm sure he'll be a nice addition to the army of the dead. |

He's now known as Kithem

Protip: Watch with captions.
This was the biggest obstacle to getting me into the show, I couldn't understand them and the names sounded too similar. |

| ^^ As a book reader, I've watched this series with my sister and her husband. We basically end the viewing by me going over the details etc. I can only imagine how overwhelming the gajillion names might be. Captions is a great idea! |
