And Ros has gone from stupping Pycelle last season to suddenly being Baelish's #2? Ridiculous.
They need ways to get info around. I think this is setting up for what she tells Varys later. If she's not highly enough placed, we can't see how Varys finds out. The show runners seem to want to show us how some of it works. And how Varys and Baelish are working against each other--almost passive aggressively.
I agree that Ros is a good way to express that, but her rise is missing a step here. Which is something I address in my Jeyne Poole speculation thread--that it's only by teaching Jeyne that Ros proves her worth to Baelish, and she rises up the ladder.
How does Osha know that the comet means dragons. What would the free folk know about dragons?
Same way Old Nan does in the books?
But when Jon is going through all of the star constellations and how the wildlings have different names for them in Storm of Swords, he doesn't say the Ice Dragon is a different name. Doesn't say it IS the same, but also doesn't say it is.
So. . . if the wildlings have the same name, seems like they have some kind of history.
Plus--I'm assuming they heard of the Targs.
Though that wouldn't explain the comet association.
Old Nan makes sense saying it because she's a wetnurse. Wetnurses are the keepers of arcane truths.
"I can see it. You have more of the north in you than your brothers."

What that line really is: a clumsy transition between the North and Dany. It's to set up that we're about to go see Dany. Normally their transitions are a bit more... graceful than that.

Indeed, one of my favorite things about the show is how good the transitions are. This one was lacking. At least we see the comet for a few episodes.
Darkstar will be the next Vulture King.
Craster has 19 daughters and there are 19 castles on the Wall, coincidence I think not!
