Dude, episodes 5 or 6 might almost be another red wedding for a few characters. I mean the Tarlys are royally f'ed, not that we really care that much about any of them but Sam. Maybe Bronn was half-cooked by Drogon.

This youtube vid of Seth Meyers watching the show with Leslie Jones..
"Bronn is like the dude in the hood that knows where all the $1 cigarettes at."
Lol his comment on Bran.. Bran pretty much "new phone who's this?" Meera.
Holy crap! You gotta watch this. This is amazing.
Watching it now. Thanks for the heads up. Love Leslie Jones!
Others already replied but LF definitely knows.
He was in love with Catelyn and made it his business to know everything about her and her family. He basically told Sansa in the crypt that the official story as told by Robert and the victors of the war might not be true, hinting that she wasn't kidnaped but rather ran away to be with the Prince.
My guess is he was behind the assassin to kill Bran in season 1 (after his fall) because he wanted the Stars and Lannisters at war (to get rid of Ned also). He was already behind killing John Arryn and knew blame would fall on Jamie and Cersei once their incest was discovered.
It figures he knows this vital piece of information and will possibly use it against Jon and top possibly elevate Sansa as the true Stark who should be leading Winterfell.
Varys had birdies everywhere and like LF, makes it his business to be knowledgeable about all things happening in the realm. It's how both of these characters who are nobodies by name have managed to survive and thrive.
On another topic, any theories or ideas on what the Red Witch meant in her last convo with Varys about both of them having to return to die on this strange land? I'll miss her and her exuberance to get nekkid at a drop of the hat
Great. Let it all get to you for 5 minutes and you become a meme.

Just because other people want it to be true doesn't make it so. There is no way you can say he definitely knows. Its one thing tl say he has suspicions, but there is no support to say he 100% knows.

i mean even if this is true, no one will be surprised when it turns out that LF knew all along lol

I meant no offense, I hope it's alright?
I'm one text message away from a massive meltdown, so revenge will be easy if you need it.
The cinematic influences behind "The Loot Train Attack" scene.
A great video showing where the people behind the show borrowed from to construct their own take on two armies clashing together.
You know this scene is so fucking great I think it could deserve a thread of its own.
And goddammit how does the CGI in The Hobbit look like such garbage already.

I agree with this. For the scene and the making of.

If Littlefinger had the power to have Bran assassinated, you don't think it would be easier for him to try and have Jon killed as well, instead of exposing his lineage that no one would believe?
He might have heard, he might even know, but he has no way of proving so that pretty much cancels out that idea.
Nope. Wish you the best. Hope it all works out.

was It LF that tried to have Bran killed? I cant remember at all.

Bronn and Jaime are fine. One of the shots showed them in the water and then the flames pass overhead. There's no way given how that was filmed that either of them got hit by dragonfire.
EDIT - of course, that doesn't count drowning, but I really don't think the writers will kill characters like this.
He's a good candidate, but we're still not sure who tried to assassinate Bran.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Recreating Game Of Thrones' Loot Train Attack. Video does an amazing job going through the films that influenced the battle scene from the last episode.
Lmao
Weta Digital never had enough time to really polish it, which isn't all that surprising given what we know about the problems those films had behind the scenes.

Not sure, but the person I replied to is using that as a basis for their theory. So if he can have Bran killed, why not have Jon killed as well?
And if it wasn't him who wanted Bran dead, then he probably doesn't want Jon out of the picture either.

Little Finger ain't done OR out of the game. They just want you think that.
It's still shocking to me how much worse it looks than a TV show from 2017. It's cartoonlike.
I love it
You should be proud. Out of context it really looks like a copy pasta. There's really good imagery, then the Hamlet reference elevates it to a work of art.

I am. He has no place anymore. He is in the one place where his slick moves wont play, the North. If he was still in kings landing I would give him a chance to surrvive, but he is surrounded by people who aren't buying what he is selling. With 9 episodes left and the bigger threat about to come into play his storyline is about to come to an end. No way he makes it out of this season.

I was expecting some JonxDany bullshit but that was a fantastic video.
I really hate the way she says Dracarys now though. She used to roll the R and it sounded Valyrian, now it sounds like an American trying to pronounce it.
There are plenty of characters to fit that bill, the majority even, not all of them will go.

Whoa. For research purposes what movie is that ha
I don't know. As much as Sansa despises him, she still gives him an audience. Here is a possible chain of events:
- the defeat of Dorne and Highgarden becomes known in the North (also, have maesters stopped sending ravens in the last 2 episodes?)
- the attack on the Lannisters is made known
- Jon has not returned and is seen as a prisoner
- Littlefinger convinces Sansa that the time to strike is now - before they are trapped by winter - after all, it is clear that they are very short on food and they will need to eat during the winter
- maybe they go after Casterly Rock or maybe King's Landing
- that decision drives Arya out on her own again
- the Wall is finally breached as King's Landing is under seige (end of season)

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I mean, I usually don't complain about it, but the mobility issues have definitely gotten worse (meaning people are sailing and flying to places in record time at this point), they just don't have any way to fix it with the limited time they have left.
It's just one of those things where nobody wants to see Dany doing nothing while she waits for her entire Dothraki army to reach the Blackwater Rush. For *reasons* we just have to assume they got there at the same time even though the Dothraki would probably take weeks to get all the way there while Dany could just fly across the bay.
It just kind of stands out next to Dany taking 7 years to reach Westeros and now she's teleporting across the map.

Wtf is this?
More importantly how does this influence your opinion on this season?

😂 That's too good
The Blackwater Rush is the river that goes right by King's Landing. I don't think it'd have taken weeks for the horde to reach them. And even if they did, there's no reason not to expect that Dany flew out from their camp as the rode out the day of the battle.
About the 'timeline issues'. The only one that actually is strange is Euron circumventing Westeros to catch the Unsullied after attacking Yara's fleet, and stopping off in King's Landing.
As far as people saying things are moving too quickly or 'Westeros is huge and people are just teleporting' - I think it's exagerrated how different the show was before. In Season 1, Robert makes a reference to being on the road for a month from KL to Winterfell, and he wasn't exactly in a hurry. This journey is made by Cat in the span of half an episode, she just shows up in KL like snap. Also, and this surprised me, in the first few episodes ravens are sent and then it's a smash cut directly to the recipient reading them. Several weeks pass during the course of and between episodes.
I think where people are getting tripped up is remembering how long Arya and The Hound, and Brienne and Jamie, Tyrion and Jorah, seemed to be travelling in S3-5. Other characters, too. Really, though, the only difference is that all of this was shown back then. Now the journeys don't matter as much to what is going on, and the world is very fleshed out, so you don't see them as much.
What I mean to say is the pacing of the show in terms of timescale has always been fairly elastic but I think people got used to the idea that traversing a country should take a full season, when even from the start of the show, sometimes it didn't at all.
This is the kind of skewed take that the previous pacing seems to be causing. Dany didn't take 7 years to reach Westeros. She left Essos for the first time on the show in the finale of S6 and arrived in the premiere of S7. Before that she was running around Essos in various directions doing other things. Also, Dragonstone to the east side of The Reach isn't that far.

Even a mounted horde can't move all that far in a single day of marching.
Hot take: Tommen was just as bad as Joffrey.
He wouldn't let Cersei go to Myrcella's funeral because he was afraid of confronting her about the fact that he was too afraid to confront the High Sparrows about what they did to his wife and mother. That is next level weakness. If he was allowed to rule for long enough, the kingdoms would have fallen into ruin.

What about Ned arriving in KL in episode 3 after only leaving WF in episode 2? That's a month long ride.
