    Episode 7 was supposed to be "Autumn Storms" then it got changed to "Chains". A few days ago GRRM said on his blog he'd changed the title and gotten a song instead. Now it makes sense. (I totally don't feel geeky after saying this..)

    Interesting episode titles imo. "Valar Dohaeris" follows up the season 2 ending "Valar Morghulis", which is a nice thing if you recognize it . It also seems there are a lot more quotes and songs in the titles, very different from the previous seasons and episodes - "Dark Wings, Dark Words", "And Now His Watch Has Ended", "Kissed By Fire", "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" and "Rains of Castamere".

    Should be interesting to see who Mhysa is, I'm assuming it's a name. Can't recall anyone in the books named that, anyways.

    It is such a quiet thing, to fall. But far more terrible is to admit it.

    Yeah, it's the same as the older one, but does have some nice new clips.
    Mostly naked ladies, which is pretty important, but also the scene where Brienne fights an unknown Umber.
    At first I didn't like the song, but now it's getting me pumped.

    Always keep your foes confused. If they are never certain who you are or what you want, they cannot know what you are like to do next. Sometimes the best way to baffle them is to make moves that have no purpose, or even seem to work against you - Littlefinger

    How do you guys think

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Ramsay will be revealed? Do you think they'll just trot him out as the Bastard when the Ironborn dump Theon off at the Dreadfort or do you think they'll do a version of "Reek at Winterfell" with him pretending to be Reek for a bit before the reveal? I know that in the casting call and call sheets he was just "Boy" so I would think they are trying to keep his involvement secret somewhat...could that be for a reveal? The actor they cast apparently did a personality switch similar to that on the show Misfits, so it's possible that he could have been cast for that reason.

    A lot of the impact of Reek was him being off screen for so long and then you see what became of him. I wonder if he'll be a lot of like Jamie was last season, where you only see him in a few segments the whole season. If you notice, they didn't show Theon as a character at all in any of the previews featuring the characters.

    Thoughts?

    Me too!!! the best thing I can come up with is that its just a random pillaged Riverland settlement in order to show the madness of war....

    When the ppl in the original video's youtube comments were suggesting it was Winterfell, I said it was Riverrun.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Riverrun end up in typical "siege conditions" with plague killing loads of people who were evacuated from the surrounding countryside and crammed into Riverrun? I clearly remember they had evacuated the surrounding countryside and hoarded them all up into Riverrun, crowding it up.

    the guys on WIC think its harrenhal, which would make sense: the lannister have retreated, but clegane, not being the tidiest of reavers, has left quite a mess behind.

    dont think its RR, no tullies in evidence, and the siege wasnt described as long and devastating.

    Well at first, I thought that was Winterfell. It sure LOOKS like the Winterfell set from the few seconds we see in the clip... Of course, it makes no sense from Robb to be able to return North with Ironborn at Moat Cailin and what-not...

    Perhaps it is Harrenhal. I don't think it is Riverrun.

    The best way to tell would be helmets/armour. They are a few pieces visible, but it is a bit blurry. They seem to be generic helmets, rather than the weird Lannister interlocking types...

    If it was only Catelyn there, it could make sense as kinda a dream or something - she finds her boys hung up in the midst of slaughtered Starks. Otherwise, my money's on Harrenhal.
