I thought they weren't releasing numbers overnight anymore? Any word on overall rating? Those numbers are for Sky Atlantic in the UK not HBO's US numbers. You are correct about HBO not releasing numbers anymore, they used to release the total for the first airing, encores, HBO Go and DVR. Neilsen does have estimates for the first airing of the US premiere. The premiere got a series high 8 million viewers with a 4.19 rating. variety.com/2015/tv/news/game-of-thrones-ratings-hbo-show-returns-with-series-high-1201471361/Even with the leak it set a ratings record!

In the meantime before 505 airs though, I imagine a lot more people will stumble across them, which WOULD likely effect the ratings at least a tad.

What if Brienne goes to the wall to seek Jon and he sends her to rescue Sansa?

I think when she meets Sansa she'll realize that it's Littlefinger manipulating her and she thinks if she gets her alone in Winterfell she can try again. But the problem there is if she'll get there before Stannis or not.

Even with the leak it set a ratings record! Looking to see if HBO will total all their viewership, North America (I guess Canada gets the show too?!) and International , because it's a number we have never seen. Now days one can release a film in the USA, have it bomb, but make a billion dollars world wide!

But the problem there is if she'll get there before Stannis or not. Brienne should get to Winterfell in episode 5. It would be kind of illogical for it to take her any longer because Sansa and Littlefinger themselves made it from there from Moat Cailing within the same episode. Going around will slow them down, but not so much that Stannis could leave the Wall at least two episodes later and still beat her.

They should still be there way before Stannis, unless something really big happens on the way. Will she then get caught by the Boltons? Jump with Sansa and Theon? Or will she be right next to the walls like Mors Umber?

I think Brienne will get to Winterfell in time to realize the Boltons are crazy and she'll maybe try to assist Sansa in some way. Though how she does this, I'm not sure on. Can she really remain hidden? She can't exactly blend in.

Can she really remain hidden? She can't exactly blend in. And, lest we forget, Roose does know Brienne, as Brienne herself knows Roose all too well. He did leave her with Locke, afterall. She would need to stay hidden, in some way, as I can't imagine Roose being stupid enough to allow her to be Sansa's guard, or handmaiden, LOL If Brienne does stay hidden in the WF neighborhood, perhaps she will be the first one to learn of some of The Bastard of Bolton's horrors? That would definitely put protecting Sansa higher on the list than any revenge for Renly a la Stannis, wouldn't it? Now, I'm dying to see how much the show may just forget......the Brienne/Roose show history, LOL Look at LF, forgetting to have a brain, forgetting to hold onto at least one of his major playing pieces, still, it seems Roose isn't written to forget things with stupidity. He seems to be written in a manner that says: If LF is stupid enough to give me Sansa, :batman: I'l take her.

Brienne to be the hooded man woman in Winterfell? I just think that Brienne and Pod won't rush in to the keep, but will meet Stannis outside, they'll talk a bit about Renly and other stuff and then she will decide that the oath to Lady Catelyn is more important than her oath to avenge Renly.

They'd have to steal some Frey/Bolton armor or something and walk around pretending to be knights.

LOL, hey, don't feel bad about forgetting that Brienne and The Roose have met before, I almost did as well. It's not like the show gives us many reminders about things, and if Brienne has seemingly JUST ABOUT forgotten Jaime......why would she remember Roose left her with HIS MAN, Locke, and she wound up in a bear pit? If Brienne doesn't much address it, how are we to remember? Out of sight, out of mind, that's how the show runs story lines and characterizations as well. I will LMAO if they don't address some of this by the time Brienne goes toward WF. I'm trying to remember? As of now, Brienne's just following because she doesn't think Sansa is really safe with LF (that was reminiscent of her talk with Jaime in KL, when she was needling him about does Jaime think Sansa is safe in the capital), but......does she realize that they are heading to WF and the Boltons? I think she does, right? It ended with them around the Neck, wanting to go around, right? See, all that episode hopping and all.....details need to be refreshed in my mind. Anyway, if Brienne hasn't guessed already where Sansa and LF are going, she should soon. We'll see if she addresses her own past with Roose and starts trying to learn about Ramsey as well. We have a nice continuity test coming for the showrunners. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm ETA: Put that second half in spoiler tags, because although most of the info is out there in reviews and such, not sure if there's a touch in my post of certain information that some of the Leaking Unsullied, LOL, might not want to read.

I'd hope she'd take one look at the Bolton banners and go "uhhhh not safe here either."
Should be easy to convince Sansa to go with her this time though
Sansa: How do you know the Boltons are bad people? Brienne: They threw me into a bear pit with a wooden sword.

You know writers can still forget they met They are forgetting people gave birth and that people were supposed to be dead already, who cares that some characters met

I loved ADWD Dany despite most people hating it, but the scene in episode 3 doesnt give me hope of the future of the arc. Dany executed someone for killing a Harpy? Why? Shes tons more ruthless in the books, she actually orders people tortured and their daughters tortured in front of them. Correct me if Im wrong, but this seems like they just wanted to give Dany a reasonable position, and the people of Meereen as unreasonable(thus they hiss at her). I HATE this. This is supposed to be about how far will Dany go, will she become a monster, yet the show already made her seem like a "good guy" here....contrary to what I love about the story and its allusions to America or Western societies thinking our culture is better than everyone elses. Dammit D&D.

Dammit D&D. This show will always white wash Dany and Tyrion. They will never be as controversial or grey as they are in the books. It's a damn shame.
