Before it was revealed, how obvious was it that Jon was Lyanna's and Rhaegar's son? I know the books aren't finished yet but book readers was it obvious from all the clues in the show and the books?

Rewatching the series; “Hardhome”

Honestly imo this is the most important and impactful episode of the entire series. It’s so well done and that final scene with the boat drifting away while the night king reanimates everyone who just died a horrible death….the books are “a song of ice and fire” for a reason and this episode just exemplifies the real threat of the white walkers versus the petty squabbles of kings and queens.

TLDR: best episode in the entire series.

One of the best changes the show made was aging up the characters

I’ve been re-reading the books lately and every once in a while George reminds you how ridiculously young some of these characters actually are

Then you run into lines like:
\- “Khaleesi, you are with child”
\- “I know,” Dany told her
\- It was her fourteenth name day

And it just completely changes the feeling of the scene. In the show Daenerys already feels very young, but in the books you suddenly remember she’s basically still a kid going through all of this

Same with characters like Jon, Robb, and Sansa. A lot of their actions make more sense when you remember their ages, but at the same time some moments become genuinely uncomfortable to read

Honestly, aging them up in the show was probably one of the smartest adaptation decisions HBO made

[Hanna] Jakub Dobes was asked what it’s like becoming a cult hero in Montreal, following the Habs 6-2 win over Buffalo: “I’m just a goofy goalie who tries to stop pucks and trust me, I don’t call myself a hero. I pretty much I will go home, eat, watch Game of Thrones and go to bed.”

How thrilled Yohn Royce must have been to follow Jon Snow instead of Robin Arryn…

The mountain is an overrated fighter

The mountains great feats:
1) Kills some peasants
2) Bests two babies in a fight to the death
3) Bullies a child
4) Loses a joust
5) Kills some more peasants
6) Loses to Edmure
7) Has one proper fight, barely wins and dies immediately after from his injuries

Everyone treats him like some amazing fighter who anyone would struggle against but he doesn’t do anything particularly impressive, all he is is tall
Also he cant cope well with bright lights and loud noises Nd is constantly drowsy from milk of the poppy which is quite a big problem for a knight to have, theres probably a reason Tywin keeps him away from the proper battles

Why didn't Oberyn's squire give him another spear?

I was watching the mountain vs the viper duel a few days ago and i just thought when the mountain grabbed Oberyn, why didn't his squire give him a 3rd spear to save him from the mountain?
