one direction dead dog twitter threat is a hoax : woman who . . .
knowing that a dog is in pain is upsetting . so it ' s an understandable reaction to want to do something—anything—to provide the dog pain relief as soon as possible .
the woman sent a desperate tweet to the five singers from her @ illumivato account two weeks ago saying : ' follow me or i ' ll break my dog ' s neck ' .
several days later , she wrote directly to band member liam payne on the social networking site to say : ' i love you . follow me . my dog has just died . '
. flea carcasses were few and far in between , and fleas continued to persist in my home .
] that ' s right , go get it ! rip it , killer ! rip . . . ! let go . . . !
in my case , i had woken up every night to a ton of their carcasses floating in the basin .

in the absence of a true family , a young skinhead lets his life revolve around his cherished pit bull dog .
with knowledge of the specifics of a dog’s health history , your vet can make a proper diagnosis to determine which medication and dose is most appropriate for your dog and design a plan for monitoring that will make treatment as safe as possible .
racial hatred , simmering family tensions and a pit bull trained to attack sound like a recipe for heightened emotions , but fornay rejects overt drama , preferring a tamped - down ambiguity as gray as her colorless skies . “my dog killer” is a difficult film to get inside , just as marek’s is a difficult head to enter , yet fornay’s gamble is deliberate , knowing better than to dehumanize the protag by reducing cause and effect to cliches .
. a dog or a cat is basically a 24 / 7 operating shuttle for these fleas to hop on and off wherever they want to . wherever your dog or cat has been to , it is more than likely you have fleas there as well .

when it comes to traveling in a car with your dog , safety should be paramount for you both . however , a recent study from volvo car usa found some surprising statistics .
, often within 30 minutes . please note however that flea tablets only last for a day , only kills adult fleas and is not a long - term preventative measure . so , if you feed your dog one of these pills today and decide to bring it to the dog park tomorrow , you’ll have to feed it another pill once you’re back from the park .
ones , by far . it’s not so much that they’re as unsightly as say , cockroaches . it’s the fact that they cause itches and angry red spots all over my body that annoys me to no end .
before my first successful elimination of these pests , i had spent weeks trying to kill these fleas and i had trouble sleeping simply because it was so itchy all over that i had to wake up to scratch .
appropriate medicine is not the only way to provide dog pain relief , however . chronic inflammatory conditions such as general arthritis often respond well to dietary modification . for example , dog food that is supplemented with omega - 3 fatty acids like eicosapentanoic acid ( epa ) can reduce joint inflammation and the pain associated with it . also , overweight dogs benefit greatly from a weight loss plan that includes both diet and exercise .
fornay ' s film centers on 18 - year - old marek - - whose best friend is his dog - - who one day while hanging out with his racist , hooligan mates discovers a terrible secret about his friend .
i worked with non - actors chosen in the local area . i worked with the local vagabonds the most and adjusted the script according my research among them . they knew from the beginning that i didn’t agree with any ideas of collective intolerance and hate . i spent a lot of time talking about heir childhood , their childhood dreams , as well as their present dreams . i tried to look at the world from their point of view and suppressed my own negative emotions vis - à - vis their hate of difference .
marek has no real friends except his guard dog and hangs out with skinheads . when his dispirited mother reappears in his life , marek faces a horrible predicament . an authentic and hypnotic chronicle of a sluggish existence always on the verge of explosion .
i move around a lot , and i’ve had my fair share of stories about combating pests . i tend to live in ‘lower - end / cheaper’ properties , so pest problems are very common to me ( this is probably why the places i’ve lived in are cheap in the first place ) .
a one - day drama of eighteen - year - old marek living near the slovak - moravian border with his dad and his racist friends – hooligans . marek‘s best friend is only his dog . marek‘s life is shaken up when he discovers the secret of his lost mother marika .
fornay’s script doesn’t give anything away , engaging in an almost elliptical form of storytelling that forces auds to come to conclusions not spelled out in the dialogue . marek ( adam mihal ) is first seen training his pit bull , killer , to savage a hanging piece of rope ; the young man’s pale round eyes register emptiness in turmoil , while his shaved pate , thin frame and tattooed neck proclaim him a skinhead .
a one - day drama portraying eighteen - year - old marek living near the slovak - moravian border with his dad and his racist friends . however , marek ' s best true friend is his dog . his life is shaken up when he discovers the secret of his lost mother marika .
tract from stomach acid and normal blood clotting . when these functions are reduced , dogs can develop vomiting and diarrhea ( often bloody ) , intestinal problems , loss of appetite , bleeding disorders , kidney or liver dysfunction or failure . they may even die without appropriate treatment . it is not safe to give your dog any amount of aspirin , ibuprofen ( advil ) , naproxen , or other anti - inflammatory meant for humans .
i decided the camera should follow the main character , focusing on the main character’s bald head and observing him close up . into this strict and radical way of framing i put wide and weird compositions of my own objective point of view as the author . i call them “waiting break compositions” because we wait for marek to enter the scene without following him . the sound plays a very important role in this concept and most of the time it is deliberately composed out of off - screen dialogue .
however , as tempting as it may be to reach for an over - the - counter pain medications such as ibuprofen , aspirin or acetaminophen and give it to the family dog , you must avoid them at all costs . over - the - counter pain meds ( otc medications ) and human medications can be very dangerous , even fatal , when used improperly in dogs . dogs should not be given advil , aspirin , tylenol or any other pain reliever made for human consumption .
i break the rules of classical drama on purpose . this is not a story in which the main sympathetic evil character changes through his ‘experience’ . i believe a colder , distant approach without a commentary raises more questions and makes the story more ambiguous . marek’s world and the world around him influence each other , but where did this circle start ? where in the circle did marek’s story really start ? what was first and what was last ? what is the cause and what is the effect ? without being judgmental , i still make it very clear what is right and what is wrong . by showing ordinary moments of reality i ask our society how deep rooted is our common participation in tragedies like the one of marek‘s family . in my opinion it‘s large by our indifference , ignorance and lack of compassion .
shame and pride can kill . eighteen year old marek lives near the slovak - moravian border with his dad and his hooligan pals , however marek ' s best friend is his dog . alienated from everyone , he is on his own in the racist circle that surrounds him - and suddenly the cause of an incident . . . director ' s statement shame is the most powerful , painful and potentially very dangerous emotion - especially for those who don ' t understand its origins or don ' t know how to manage it . this is marek ' s case , who starts to act anxiously after he finds out about the secret of his lost mother . his feeling of shame comes from the absurd idea of racism . in marek ' s opinion , the revelation of this secret might not just damage his family dignity in the eyes of others , but mainly his own self - respect and his position in the group of skinheads .

adam mihal stars in mira fornay ' s slovak - czech drama , one of three tiger award winners at the rotterdam film festival .
with : with : adam mihal , marian kuruc , irena bendova , libor filo , alzbeta sopinsova , pavol dynka , stanislav vojt , jozef hrncirik , ladislav dirda , emilia dirdova , maria fornayova . ( slovak dialogue , moravian dialect )
the region is depressed and marek’s dad ( marian kuruc ) can only keep his small vineyard if he sells his other property . before any sale , though , he’ll need the signature of co - owner and ex - wife marika ( irena bendova ) , who abandoned the family eight years earlier . mom’s skipping out obviously contributed significantly to marek’s retarded emotional development , and he’s none too pleased when forced to find her in town and bring her the contracts .
the press materials say this is when marek learns he has a half - gypsy half - brother , lukas ( libor filo ) , though it’s unclear ( perhaps due to subtitling issues ? ) whether he was aware of his sibling earlier . he definitely didn’t have to confront his feelings until now , when repeated and unwanted contact with this separate family creates a crisis after his skinhead pals discover he’s got a half - gypsy brother .
fornay uses all non - pros , including skinheads from the region ; while this isn’t a documentary , their very real presence adds a layer of authenticity . the same can be said for the locale ; one wonders if a “no roma allowed” sign at the diner is genuine ( the scene , with lukas tormented by bigoted teens , is one of the most wrenching to watch ) . less obvious to non - locals will be the significance of slovakian folk songs on the radio , suggesting a narrow nationalism further reinforced by a prominently placed portrait of fascist leader jozef tiso .
somehow , mihal projects a disturbing lack of emotion that masks a debilitating confusion — there’s a sense that a decent education could have saved marek , but even that’s failed him . this tension characterizes the entire film , not least thanks to the precise camerawork of d . p . toma sysel , who alternates between motion and stillness while keeping it all ultra - observational . despite the sense of detachment , fornay ensures that lukas’ fate leaves a chilling mark .
production : a mirafox , cineart tv prague , ceska televise production . ( international sales : m - appeal , berlin . ) produced by viktor schwarcz , juraj buzalka , mira fornay . directed , written by mira fornay .
crew : camera ( color ) , toma sysel ; editor , hedvika hansalova ; production designer , adam pitra ; costume designer , erika gadus ; sound ( dolby digital ) , jan ravasz ; line producer , vera ferdova ; assistant director , peter palka . reviewed at rotterdam film festival ( competing ) , jan . 29 , 2013 .

perhaps michael haneke’s greatest legacy to cinema , once the auteurist dust settles , will be the extent to which he made his brand of false objectivity appealing . to be sure , though technological changes are allowing more artists to take up filmmaking as a mode of expression . too many of those who do so seem to be taking their drama for granted : though they are demonstrably capable of composition and even of intermittent flash , they apparently have very little to say about the world and its material struggles . as godard suggests at one point in notre musique ( 2004 ) , just because someone holds a pencil doesn’t mean they can draw .
fornay’s decision to make a film amid such racial tensions is admirable , and her stylistic approach is not without merit . ostensibly purposeful tracking shots of marek negotiating various social spaces lend urgency , while mihál’s performance is loaded with effective confusion . marek is never at home in any of these spaces , of course – the domestic is forever exclusionary – and fornay decides often to linger on his interpretably blank figure while conversations happen off - screen but within earshot , which both heightens the protagonist’s isolation while priming us of the film’s own individualistic focus .
like marek , though , the film doesn’t seem to have much to say about racism , and even less about its potential links to family , class and gender – all of which hang in the background , threatening to force the filmmakers to make a more serious and challenging film . the skinheads with whom marek spends his spare time are mostly left to cliché , for instance , though an early scene shows right - wing fascists commemorating the first slovak state , all seen on a safely - distanced television set within the cosy confines of a house .
likewise , marek’s relationship with lukas appears at first to be interesting , but the decision to have the former kidnap and torture his younger sibling – with unintentional consequences – is merely bewildering . is this plot twist meant to function as a warning against fascism and its destructive effect upon brotherly love ? it’s a facile point to make if so , and recalls in fact that implication - cum - assertion in haneke’s code unknown ( 2000 ) , in which all the vivid and superbly acted drama serves a too - easily asked question : why can’t we all just get along ?
a troubled teenager with violent friends discovers a secret about his absent mother than makes him contemplate a cruel act .

vaccines are not a replacement for vigilance , but they are an important part of your pet’s healthcare .
the topical products we use on ourselves and even our pets could cause big problems if accidentally ingested or administered incorrectly .
the following breeds tend to top the charts when it comes to their affection connection with humans .
symptoms and treatment for kidney disease vary depending the specifics of the case , but oftentimes , a diet change can help .
having a pet as part of your family has many well - documented health benefits .
use our handy tool to help determine whether your pet is at an ideal weight or needs a change in diet and lifestyle .
called cyclooxygenase that is responsible for the production of prostaglandins that promote inflammation , fever and pain .
certain dogs are especially sensitive to human nsaid brands and can develop dangerous side effects even when a correct dose is given .
the concurrent use of other medications ( e . g . , corticosteroids ) and / or the presence of certain health conditions ( e . g . , gastrointestinal , liver , or kidney disease ) can make the use of nsaids for dogs more risky than normal .
, but because more dogs are exposed to these medications , a greater number of nsaid toxicity cases are reported in dogs in comparison to cats . )
acetaminophen ( tylenol ) presents a slightly different story . acetaminophen is not an nsaid . no one is exactly sure how it works to reduce pain and fever ( it has no effect on inflammation ) , but when
, the oxygen - carrying molecule in blood , to methemoglobin resulting poor oxygen delivery throughout the body and tissue damage .
( note : cats are so sensitive to the adverse effects of acetaminophen that just one , regular strength tablet can result in death . )
for all of the above reasons , you should not give nsaids , like aspirin and ibuprofen , or other pain relievers , such as tylenol , to dogs or other pets without the supervision of a veterinarian . drug companies have designed specific canine pain medication that are safer and more effective than those that are designed for people . with a veterinarian recommendation , you can access
medications that can safely and effectively relieve your pet from discomfort . with a prescription , you can choose from brands like
but normal amounts of protein can help dogs lose weight while maintaining muscle mass and strength . reducing body fat and promoting lean body mass decreases stress on joints and inflammation throughout the body .
the combination of a good diet and weight loss will often lessen if not completely eliminate the need for pain meds for dogs suffering from chronic conditions like arthritis . more severe cases can also benefit from physical therapy ,
treatments and other interventions . talk to your veterinarian to determine what combination of diet , exercise ,
a medical condition in which the joints become inflamed and causes a great deal of pain .
even if you do not have pets , it is more than likely that a rat , a ferret or some kind of mammal host had also resided in your home at some point in time . wild ferrets or rodents are known to settle in attics or ceiling areas and the fleas on them could
even after these pests or rodents have left or have been removed , the fleas will continue to feed on other hosts in the house i . e you and your family !
essentially , any type of pets is likely to carry fleas with them if they’re exposed to other pets or animals . they could’ve been infested when you drop them off in a
once exposed , your pets could carry these fleas back into your home , where they’ll start breeding and infesting your whole house .
first of all , you have to understand that most flea problems aren’t usually concentrated at just one particular location of your house . if you have pets at home , it is more than likely that they’ve
you’ll be glad to know that it actually only takes about 1 - 2 days of diligence to completely rid your house of fleas ( for even the worst infestations ) , as long as you do it right .
i’ve tried out a ton of methods , both individually and in different combinations . some didn’t work , some worked , albeit to a very limited extent , while a couple worked so effectively that
. i’ve listed all the best ways to kill fleas and get rid of them permanently here , so you can see for yourself .
sprinkle fine salt over carpets or affected areas . this is supposed to work by sapping out the moisture from the fleas as they walk over it . they’ll chafe and bleed to death over time .
if the salt is sprinkled over the eggs , they’ll supposedly dry up and perish as well .
the idea here is that dish detergent mixed with water is toxic to fleas and if they hop into it , they’ll die . the night light helps attracts these fleas .
you’ll have to place this “trap” near the ground too , so that it’s more accessible to the fleas .
tip : this works with a normal desk lamp too . just set it up on the ground and place the mixture in the spotlight . the fleas will jump towards the spotlight and into the mixture .
as satisfying as this felt to me , apparently it wasn’t enough because it didn’t fix the problem .
this trap only killed adult fleas and at a very small area . the flea cycle continued as the eggs hatched and more fleas returned to pester me !
personally , we suggest trying out this method first since it’s the least intrusive and can be done in a single day .
– works best for extensive infestations . cost can go up to $ 100 or more if multiple sessions are required over a few days . complete eradication of fleas in your house . pest control services
. after a pest control session is over , use some flea spray and flea tablets for your pets right away before letting them back into the house .
– flea sprays can be used on both pets and furniture ( carpets , rugs , couch , bedding – both your pet and yours , blankets , pillows ) . these sprays will kill most types of fleas , including their eggs , upon contact .
tip : for sensitive areas of your pets i . e near its face , spray on a comb and brush it .
use this in combination with flea tablets so that any new adult fleas that hop onto your pet will die off almost immediately too . if you kill off all the eggs and adult fleas simultaneously , the flea cycle will be broken .
if you have pets , you can use this on them in addition to flea tablets for optimal results .
. it costs a mere 9 bucks and is apparently made of natural ingredients , which is great for those averse to chemical products .
– flea tablets are pills fed to your dogs or cats . any fleas that are biting your pets will start dropping like flies .
, such as when your pet returns from a vet clinic , a pet grooming salon , a pet hotel or a pet park .
use this in combination with flea sprays to kill off eggs too , since tablets only kill off adult fleas .
. a 6 - dose package for small dogs costs around $ 25 , while for bigger dogs , it costs around $ 30 . make sure you pick the appropriate dosage based on the size of your dogs or cats .
. this technique is often used by pest exterminators themselves too , but only for really bad infestations because of the inconvenience it puts you in . you might have to do this more than once too .
you’ll have to cover up exposed food , utensils and dishes , disable your smoke alarms temporarily , shut all the windows and doors , and leave your house together with your pet ( if any ) for a couple of hours . after the fogging is over ,
. you’ll tend to see many other dead bugs all around your house as they leave their nests in their attempts to escape the fog and die .
important : after fogging , you must remember to also treat your pet before letting it into the house . spray your pet down with a flea spray and feed it a flea tablet to be safe .
. it should only cost around $ 10 for a 3 - can fogger . if you live in a bigger house , you’ll probably need more than that . although 1 can supposedly covers 2000 cubic feet , i used 1 can per room just to be safe . be prepared to come back to a looooooot more dead bugs than just fleas .
5 . vacuuming – if fogging sounds like too much of a hassle , vacuuming works to a certain extent as well .
if you have a strong enough vacuum , you can actually vacuum up even the eggs wherever it passes over . just make sure you cover as much space as is possible . vacuum the carpets , curtains , under your furniture , beds and also any cracks or crevices in the floorboards and baseboards .
important : if you have a pet , make sure you feed it a flea tablet about 30 minutes before you start vacuuming your house . also , make sure you use some flea spray on your pet as well . this is so that any adult fleas that hopped onto your pet while you’re vacuuming will simply die off ( from the tablets ) , and any eggs residing on it will be eliminated ( from the spray ) .
after the vacuum session , use flea spray on all the vacuumed areas just in case you missed some of these bugs and their eggs .
we ' re a group of people who have seen our fair share of pest infestation problems . from our experience , we ' ve learnt that it ' s not always necessary to call up a pest control service . oftentimes , simple diy methods and products are sufficient to completely eliminate any budding pest problems . we ' re here to help educate the public on how to tackle their pest problems before resorting to more drastic measures .

shame is the most powerful , painful and potentially very dangerous emotion – especially for those who don’t understand its origins or don’t know how to manage it . this is marek’s case , who starts to act anxiously after he finds out about the secret of his lost mother . his feeling of shame comes from the absurd idea of racism . in marek’s opinion , the revelation of this secret might not just damage his family dignity in the eyes of others , but mainly his own self - respect and his position in the group of skinheads .
continues in the wake of bleak slovak social dramas vividly presenting not only individual guilt but also a collective one .

a one direction fan reportedly killed her pet chihuahua in a fit of rage because the british boy band did not respond to requests to follow her on twitter .
but with millions of tweets being sent to their account everyday , the group very likely did not spot the message and it went ignored .
other images that were reportedly taken from the @ illumivato page before it was suspended show animals in blenders and a small child tied up .
each comes with similar messages threatening to kill them if the boy band didn ' t follow her on twitter .

that which maketh a man to be desired is his kindness ; and a poor man is better than a liar .
the desire of a man is the measure of his kindness : and a poor man is better than a liar .
what is desirable in a man is his kindness , and it is better to be a poor man than a liar .
a man desires praise that he may be reassured , that he may be quit of his doubting of himself ; he is indifferent to applause when he is confident of success .
is he who has all he desires , and desires nothing amiss .
but all do not desire this ; for some desire certain things amiss , and yet they wish to desire such things . therefore all do not desire happiness .
the perverse way of a man is strange : but as for him that is pure , his work is right .
a man desires praise that he may be reassured , that he may be quit of his doubting of himself ; he is indifferent to applause when he is confident of success . - alec waugh - brainyquote

a creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve , not by the desire to beat others .
and a poor man is better than a liar ; who is a rich man , as the septuagint and syriac versions add ; who denies that he has ability to relieve the poor , when he has ; or promises to do it , and does it not ; such men of high degree are a lie indeed ! and the poor man , whom he should relieve , is a better man than he ; or that would relieve another , but it is not in his power to do it .
human beings long for grace , and it ' s better to be poor than a man of deceit .

ben lenzo says the modern man seeks a relationship that’s moved past the boxes on an online dating profile .

the desire of a man is his kindness , . . . . either the grace and kindness of god , which is , desirable by every sensible man , as being most excellent , and better than life and anything in it ; or it is his desire to show kindness . a good man is desirous of riches , that he might have it in the power of his hands to do good to others ; and a beneficent man , who has it in his power , is desirous of an opportunity of showing kindness to his fellow creatures and friends ; and such a disposition and conduct render a man very desirable and amiable ; it is the beauty of a man , as ben melech ; yea , a man that is not able to do a kindness to another , yet has a desire to do it , his good will is his kindness , and the will is taken for the deed . gersom takes the word in the sense of
reproach
, as it is sometimes used ; and understands it of the sinful desires of the heart , the imaginations of the thoughts of the heart , which are evil continually , and so matter of reproach ;
i want a woman who is as proud of me as i am of her , and sings my praises from the rooftops . just as i do of hers . she will encourage me and support me in my time of need .
proverbs 19 : 22 the desire of a man is loving devotion ; better to be poor than a liar .

as soon as she is clear of them , olenna privately unfolds the piece of paper and finds that there is a rose drawn on it . she seems cheered by the silent message , as the use of the tyrell sigil indicates that margaery is merely tricking the sparrows and that her true loyalty is still to house tyrell . she also seems to understand that margaery is urging her to leave for her own safety .

created by the war has been cited by martin as one of the more thematically important points in the books . the tv adaptation
the broken man
is the seventh episode of the sixth season of game of thrones . it is the fifty - seventh episode of the series overall . it premiered on june 5 , 2016 . it was written by bryan cogman and directed by mark mylod .
this episode marks the first time that peter dinklage has not appeared in two consecutive episodes as tyrion lannister ( he has only been absent from six episodes of the series , the least of any cast member ) . this leaves emilia clarke and lena headey ( portraying daenerys targaryen and cersei lannister ) as the only two cast members who have not been absent in two consecutive episodes .

notice that the prostitutes at the tavern the greyjoy crew visits in volantis have slave tattoos on their cheeks : as varys pointed out when volantis was first seen in season 5 , slaves in the city are given different tattoos on their faces to indicate their occupations , and the tattoo for slave - prostitutes is a teardrop under their left eye ( stylized as a downwards - pointing triangle ) .

bear island appears for the first time on - screen in this episode , the seat of house mormont . jorah mormont introduced himself as coming from bear island since season 1 , so it has been mentioned before in similar contexts .

( a great soldier and tournament champion in his own right ) . the umbers might be the most northern house closest to the wall on the mainland , but bear island is located almost as far north , and without the protection of the wall .
cersei later confronts olenna about her plans to leave , telling her to remain for the sake of margaery and loras , who is still imprisoned . olenna retorts that the reason all of this is happening is because of cersei , as she was the one who allowed the faith militant to reform and allowed them to arrest loras and margaery . cersei admits that she made a mistake with the sparrows , but insists that an alliance between the lannisters and tyrells is more important now than it ever was . olenna refuses her , noting that cersei has neither influence nor support anymore and is surrounded by enemies . she tells cersei that she ( olenna ) will be leaving the city as soon as possible , and that cersei ' s utter defeat is her only consolation .
theon and yara take the iron fleet to volantis to hide and rest . inside a brothel , theon sits despondently as yara and the others carouse with naked and semi - naked prostitutes . yara repeatedly tells theon to drink some ale and he repeatedly refuses .
if this was a test for the waif and not arya , that means that jaqen ( or one of the other faceless men ) is wearing an arya face - mask . in the books , the faceless men can only use faces from dead people - in this episode jaqen is even directly shown removing a face from a corpse . on the other hand , the tv continuity has changed this slightly to show that the faceless men can use faces that look like a still - living person . in the season 5 finale , arya saw her own face on the faceless man who poisoned himself - she might have been hallucinating in this moment , but prior to that , she also clearly saw a faceless man that looked like
jaqen h ' ghar
who drank poison and killed himself , while another faceless man pretending to be the waif took off his mask and revealed jaqen ' s face . this might simply be different in the tv version - perhaps the explanation is that the faceless men can take the faces of people with similar appearances and alter them to match a still - living person they closely resemble .

or reason ; just as it happens that where there is no real distinction , there may be a distinction according to the consideration of reason ; so does it happen that one and the same thing is desired in one way , and not desired in another . so that
in the books , the boltons might have planned to attack deepwood motte and kill the ironborn who held it ( similarly to their actions in respect of moat cailin ) , as strongly implied in the threatening letter asha received from ramsay - but stannis beat them to it .
related but separated by vast distances ( braavos , the wall , king ' s landing , meereen , the dothraki , etc . ) in contrast , the stannis / bolton / north storyline had merged during season 5 , and they should have been treated as linked chronologically .
in the books , the war that meribald fought in was specifically the war of the ninepenny kings , also known as the fifth blackfyre rebellion , which brynden tully was actually a major commander in . the tv version doesn ' t specify what conflict he fought in during his youth .
in the inside the episode featurette , the showrunners pointed out that yara does love and care for her brother theon , but they made her dialogue with him ( which doesn ' t have a direct counterpart in the novels ) to be deliberately blunt ,
tough love
advice , because as they put it , yara isn ' t a professional psychotherapist . as they explained , moreso than the rest of westeros , the ironborn are a very blunt , viking - like culture of warriors , so they felt this style of advice was more appropriate to their behavior .
then , in conclusion , a note on vaasugiri : everyone has a vaasu inside him ( or her ) . there is nothing wrong about it to begin with . we , as mammals endowed with sexuality , are programmed to feel attracted to each other . it is a natural act , a physical need , as mandar pleads . however , over the centuries , we have made it into something perverse , something that needs to be hushed about , thanks to all the walls that we have erected between ourselves , and the way we have complicated everything ( like with dating conventions , the concept of honour and disgrace , and so forth ) . we denatured our sexuality , took it out of context , overanalyzed and overthought it , and gradually dressed it into something marketable , obsessive , and shameful . ironically , it is such repression—and on the flipside , the paradoxical valorisation of the macho / playboy attitude—that makes an ‘everyday - man’ like mandar into an inveterate , compulsive , and helpless vaasu .
( and first cousin of jorah ) . stannis sent all the northern houses letters asking them to acknowledge him as the rightful king , but despite having no substantial army left and only being a little girl , lyanna sent back a defiant letter which read
bear island knows no king but the
the out of universe explanation is of course that this was simply a dialogue error in this episode and it should be treated as non - canonical , and that lyanna really is 11 years old in season 6 . game of thrones wiki is attempting to contact bryan cogman about this via twitter .

yara tells theon greyjoy that ,
now , since it ' s my last night ashore for a long while , i ' m gonna go fuck the tits off this one .
this implies yara only has sex with women as there are no other known women on the crew of the black wind .
queen margaery is studying the seven - pointed star at the sept when the high sparrow enters and they discuss the passage she ' s been reading , which is about the mother ' s love and mercy . margaery notes that in the past she pretended to love the poor when in fact she only really pitied them . the high sparrow asks her why she hasn ' t joined king tommen in the marriage bed , and margaery explains that the desires that once drove her no longer do so . the high sparrow assures her that desire is not necessary . she has a duty to produce an heir . the high sparrow then makes a thinly veiled threat against margaery ' s grandmother , olenna tyrell , stating that while she is a remarkable woman , she is also an unrepentant sinner .
meanwhile , cogman stated that many days and weeks pass by as jon and sansa travel along the west coast of the north from the mormonts to the glovers - they didn ' t mean to imply that the wall , bear island , and deepwood motte are all a day or two ' s journey from each other .
a woman who understands that these are all things that i will try to bring to my relationship with her too . i have no expectation of someone else that i do not have of myself . i will try to get there every day – and fail . many , many days i will fail . as will she .
this episode once again raises the issue that loras tyrell is being treated as the male heir of house tyrell . in the novels he had two older brothers , and they were cut from the tv show , but even so it is unclear if they have younger brothers or cousins after loras if he were to be removed .

in the end , jon and sansa are only able to recruit a small number of minor houses , only adding a few hundred extra soldiers to their army . lady lyanna and her men are seen among the stark and wildling forces . davos deals with a brawl among the wildlings . despite being heavily outnumbered , jon is adamant that they attack winterfell as soon as possible before ramsay rallies more forces and before the weather turns on them . sansa disagrees , instead opting to try and recruit more houses . when jon refuses to change his mind , sansa begins writing a letter to be sent by raven to petyr baelish , taking him up on the offer for troops she previously rejected .
use a line for line reading of meribald ' s speech , as in the books it talks about conscripts being reduced to banditry and living like animals preying on peasants caught in war zones . this would have been difficult to introduce in this context - in the books meribald actually gives it to brienne - but it is one of the most iconic speeches in the novels ( there are numerous
when reading lyanna ' s letter to stannis , jon wonders how come lyanna was the one who wrote the letter , thinking that maege would have left at least one of the older girls behind as castellan . the answer is given by alysane , during the march of stannis ' s host to winterfell :
lyra and jory are with our mother
( at unknown location ) - thus ,
robett glover directly mentions that his brother galbart fought for robb and hailed him as king in the north : he doesn ' t quite explicitly state that galbart is in fact dead , but heavily implies it . robett does mention that his wife and children were held captive by the ironborn , which did happen in the novels ( yara kept them prisoner but made sure they were well cared for ) .
arya is left handed , but
arya
in the episode consistently uses her right hand to handle the money bags she gives the sailors . maisie williams is actually right - handed in real life but is always careful to play arya as left - handed because she is in the novels - she wouldn ' t make such a casual mistake like this ( three separate times in the scene ) .
we next see arya standing on a bridge admiring a view of the titan of braavos when an old woman approaches her and reveals herself to be the waif , who repeatedly stabs her in the gut , twisting the knife as she does . arya escapes by leaping over the handrail and into the river . she is left stumbling through the streets of braavos , leaving a trail of blood droplets and visibly afraid .
i want to move beyond ticking surface level boxes like “has a great sense of humor , ” or “loves the beach , ” which matter only for a short time , and long term not at all . i want the things that are core to what i believe are important for a human . as a registered human myself , this also applies to how i live my own life . and that’s way beyond skin deep .
although she gives me her heart and her mind , i want her body too . she understands her body , takes pleasure in it , knows what sets her afire , and wants to engage & teach me the same . she willingly gives herself to me because she knows i will simultaneously treat her body as the gift it is , but will also allow my hunger for her to take over , devouring every part of her .
it is pointed out to lyanna that her uncle jeor mormont made jon snow his personal steward , because he was grooming him to succeed him one day and thought him trustworthy . it is unclear , however , why jon didn ' t take this opportunity to also point out that her uncle outright gave him the house mormont ancestral sword , longclaw , made of priceless valyrian steel , and assuredly jeor would only have bestowed his blade on a man he thought was trustworthy . then again , perhaps jon was worried that if the meeting didn ' t go well , they might try to take the sword back from him .
is still alive ; in the fifth novel , it is implied by her daughter alysane that she is alive and with two of her other daughters . robb has sent her and galbart glover on a mission to the north prior to the red wedding , and ever since no one heard from them . she has older surviving sisters ( the eldest , dacey mormont , died at the red wedding ) . maege did leave young lyanna as the
it is unclear where the tv version is drawing the exact number of only 62 fighters . in the books , it is mentioned that all of the vassal houses in the western half of the north can only muster about 1 , 200 men or so , and as lyanna mormont points out , bear island isn ' t very populous and didn ' t have a large army to begin with ( before most of its soldiers got slaughtered in the war ) .
margaery instead pleads for olenna to return to highgarden instead . as she emphatically tells her grandmother to return home , margaery secretly slips a piece of paper into olenna ' s hand . in doing so , she seems to have successfully communicated to olenna that she doesn ' t quite mean what she ' s been saying in front of septa unella , and olenna ' s expression changes , realizing this . she plays along and agrees to acquiesce , then walks away .
this is only the sixth episode of the entire tv series that tyrion lannister has not appeared in - and given that he didn ' t appear in the previous episode either , this is officially the first time in the entire run of the tv series to date that tyrion has been absent for two episodes in a row . if tyrion misses one more episode , he will slip down to tie with cersei as the most frequently recurring character in the tv series .
in turn , this explains why unlike much of the rest of westeros or even the rest of the north , bear island has a strong tradition of producing warrior women : bear island itself is fairly poor and densely forested ( as seen in the episode ) , so its inhabitants gain most of their sustenance by fishing the surrounding waters . this means that the men are often out at sea for days at a time , unable to react to surprise sea raids made by ironborn or wildling boats that slip past them to get to their homes on the island . as a result , the mothers and older daughters of families on bear island had to learn to take up weapons themselves to defend themselves and their homes . while they apparently follow the inheritance laws of the mainland , putting daughters behind sons , so many men die in raids that families from the island fully prepare their daughters to fight and potentially have to rule some day .
yara is persuading theon to regain his former identity and self confidence , as she will need his assistance in getting justice and retaking the iron islands from their uncle euron . when pressed , he says that if justice were served , he would be burnt for his crimes , so she responds , “fuck justice then . do it for revenge . ” eventually she convinces him to put his guilt aside and help her because she needs him . he drinks some ale and begins to gain some composure .
in the books , jaime didn ' t bring a full lannister army of 8 , 000 men to riverrun to assist the freys : instead , some elements of other lannister armies were already present , commanded by his cousin daven lannister ( son of stafford lannister ) , who had been struggling in vain to get the freys in line ( daven is a capable leader and jaime sympathizes with his troubles ) . thus in the book version , jaime only brought about 1 , 000 new lannister soldiers with him as reinforcements from king ' s landing . as the siege was a recent development in the tv version , tv - jaime apparently just brought them all at once ( it wasn ' t stated how many lannister soldiers were already present under daven ' s command in the books ) . the frey army surrounding riverrun numbered about 2 , 000 in the books ( most of the other half of their army accompanied the boltons to winterfell to help them hold the north , but this was cut from the tv version ) .
jon , sansa , and davos travel to bear island , where they meet with lyanna , the ten - year old head of house mormont . sansa and jon try to flatter her with small talk about her mother maege and uncle jeor mormont . however , lyanna is unimpressed and aggressively brushes them off , demanding to know their business in bear island . lyanna initially rejects their request for help and stresses that house stark is dead and that she needs her forces to garrison bear island . she also remarks that jon and sansa cannot be considered starks since the former is a bastard and the latter has been married twice into enemy houses . lyanna is initially unconcerned about the threat of ramsay . before lyanna can dismiss them , davos intervenes . after briefly discussing his background , davos manages to convince the young lady mormont by warning her about the dangers the white walkers pose to the living . she agrees to contribute 62 men , which is all she can manage , and promises that they each fight as well as ten men .
in the books , ryman was the frey that jaime struck across the face to teach him a lesson about not making idle threats : the tv version condensed this with black walder rivers . as seen in the episode , jaime struck him with his golden prosthetic hand , badly injuring him and knocking him to the ground . in the books the hand is solid gold , though for unknown reasons the tv series had jaime point out that it is gold - plated steel - still a heavy , solid - metal prosthetic .
in part this explains why lyanna mormont is such a confident , capable , and defiant ruler despite being a 10 year old girl . many major lords on the mainland don ' t expect their daughters to come to rule and thus don ' t train them for it , i . e . tywin lannister never tried 10 year old cersei lannister to be able to rule and fight if he died . in contrast , house mormont does raise its daughters to be able to rule as capable political leaders if the need arises .
the tv version is nonetheless thematically similar : he explains that he used to be a soldier , and instead of glory and honor , it led to him mindlessly obeying orders to burn villages and kill unarmed peasants , but he ' s tried to make amends with what time he has left alive . as a conscientious objector to the vietnam war , george r . r . martin was critical of how other high fantasy literature glorified war , and he wanted to deconstruct this in his own works to show how in real life it is most often horrible and pointless suffering .
dorne does not appear in this episode , and has not appeared since the season premiere . the night ' s watch , bran stark and his subplot , the vale , samwell and gilly in the reach , ramsay bolton at winterfell , daenerys targaryen and the dothraki , and meereen also do not appear . cersei , olenna , and margaery appear in king ' s landing but tommen and the small council do not . house greyjoy appears in the form of yara and theon ' s faction as their fleet arrives in volantis , but their uncle euron and the iron islands themselves do not .
in the novels , brienne and podrick encounter a wandering septon named meribald who used to be a soldier in his youth , became a bandit at one point and did many things he is ashamed of , and now makes penance for his past by helping the poor and needy . the tv version basically condensed septon meribald and the elder brother together into one character : they are similar characters in the books . in the
inside the episode
featurette , however , the showrunners refer to him as
ray ,
not
meribald
- apparently they made a new name for the condensed character .
house mazin
, meanwhile , does not exist in the books at all - it is an in - joke reference to screenwriter craig mazin , who doesn ' t directly work on the tv series but gave the showrunners vital advice about the unaired pilot episode . this is the third time it has been mentioned in the tv series , the second this season . a new second - tier
major house
can ' t easily be fit into the map of the north at this point , given that the books have already clearly defined who controls which territories . there are two in - universe possibilities : house mazin might be a prominent third - tier
minor house
( similar to how house forrester are prominent vassals of house glover , who are themselves vassals of the starks ) , or they might be one of the 40 or so minor noble houses from the northern mountain clans who live northwest of winterfell - they are all as weak as minor houses , but are technically second - tier major houses in the sense that they are sworn directly to the starks and don ' t have any other overlords . the books never gave a definitive list of all of the northern mountain clans .
it isn ' t explicitly stated where the scenes involving sandor clegane take place , but given the presence of the brotherhood without banners it is apparently somewhere in the riverlands - combined with the fact that brother ray ' s book counterpart septon meribald also operated in the riverlands . when arya abandoned sandor they were actually leaving the vale and near the coast where its southern border meets the riverlands ( which is how she was in riding distance of a port at maidenpool ) . also brother ray says he picked up sandor on a wagon , so apparently he took the hound with him as he journeyed back into the riverlands .
brynden states that riverrun has enough food supplies to last for two years . in the books , he similarly managed to gather ample food supplies at the castle before the siege began , right after the red wedding . in the tv version , the siege wasn ' t going on off - screen this whole time but is stated to have only recently begun after brynden recaptured it in a sneak attack , thus he still has two full years worth of food supplies in this version as well . sieges can last for many years in westeros , because castles are built with larger storage space to survive the years - long winters .
yara ' s character is named
asha greyjoy
in the books , she was renamed to avoid confusion with osha the wildling ( asha greyjoy is a much more prominent character , but was only introduced in season 2 , after osha was introduced in season 1 ) . asha in the books shows no particular hints of being bisexual or experimenting with women : she is very sexually active and unashamed of this , going so far as to learn from a woods witch how to make her own moon tea ( an abortion drug ) . game of thrones wiki reached out to george r . r . martin himself to inquire about this :
meereen appears in the title sequence even though it isn ' t in the actual episode . as the creators explained , it would be very expensive to create an animation for every location that appears on - screen , so they limit them to those that will recur frequently enough that it justifies the expense . no title animation was created for volantis when it appeared in season 5 because it only appeared in one episode - thus there wasn ' t a pre - existing one to use in this episode . the greyjoy fleet is headed to meereen , so on the balance it was probably less expensive to just re - use the animation for that location .
the only subplots which haven ' t caught up with their materials from the novels at this point are samwell and gilly actually arriving in oldtown itself , a few ( condensed ) parts of the greyjoy subplot , parts of the king ' s landing storyline , and a few elements from the slaver ' s bay storyline ( though tyrion has caught up ) . this isn ' t counting major subplots which were simply abandoned such as the martell storyline from the books and the griff storyline in the free cities . at the rate these few subplots are advancing , it appears that every subplot will totally catch up with the books by the end of season 6 .
in the parallel book scene , davos attends the court of lord wyman manderly , seeking to have him support stannis . one of the attending freys , ser jared ( fourth son of lord frey ) , tells the freys ' version of the red wedding : robb and his followers have warged into wolves , and the freys acted in self defense . brazenly , jared even goes that far to claim that wendel was killed as he shielded lord frey with his body . davos is stunned at the enormity of the lie , which wyman seems to believe . then , rhaegar frey ( lord frey ' s grandson ) says similar things to robett ' s statement in the show :
major credit goes to the cast of course – from the lead actors to the cameos . brilliant , understated portrayals , complemented by natural dialogues , situations , and issues . as jyotsana , one of mandar’s married lovers , quips , tu toh bhaag gaya , main kahaan bhaagegi ? thus , they part with a final hug , a wistful smile on her face ; leaving you to reflect on the nature of impulse and the social implications . moreover , all the characters look real—the sort of people you see around your neighbourhood or on the streets . special mention to the child actors who manage to convey the awkwardness , insecurities , and excitement associated with sex and attraction during adolescence .
jaime and bronn lead the lannister army to the gates of riverrun , where the freys attempt to coerce the blackfish into surrendering the castle by threatening to execute edmure tully . the blackfish calls their bluff and refuses to surrender . disgusted with the freys ' incompetence , jaime takes charge of the siege and attempts to parley with the blackfish , warning him that the lannisters will show no mercy to the tullys , but if he surrenders , the lives of his men will be spared . the blackfish rejects the offer and warns jaime that he has two years worth of food in his stronghold , and that while hundreds of his own men may die defending , thousands of lannister troops will perish as well .
jaime lannister never went to dorne as he did in season 5 of the tv series - the dorne subplot in season 5 was so heavily condensed or outright changed that it bore little resemblance to that subplot in the novels . instead , that was the point in time at which jaime left for the riverlands to deal with holdout pockets of robb stark ' s tully allies - and thus he wasn ' t present when the faith militant arrested cersei , nor for her impending trial by combat . when he received a letter in which cersei begged him to come back and aid her he burned it in disgust , realizing that her petty plotting against the tyrells nearly destroyed their family ' s hold on power and endangered tommen .
