2 that I know of.
considering how Oberyn indirectly created this new mountain, it would be a post mortem revenge too for him! I like it.
Good guy Ramsay for you.

Perhaps that's what it is in the books but on the show it's absolutely nowhere near 80 feet.
This is what an 80 foot jump is like. They absolutely would not survive it, and the height we saw from their pov on the show was nowhere near this high.

Just a reminder that any book discussion and comparison should be in the other thread. Please use that thread if you're a book reader. Thank you.

Looking at your avatar, whenever I see Grey Worms face now all I hear is his voice going "Missandei... good.. teacher.." I hate what they've done to his character with the pointless forced romance that has gone nowhere because of what little screen time it gets in a show where "a lot of screen time" per episode is about 5 minutes. He's supposed to be the greatest of the Unsullied, their leader, but now I just see him as a puppy dog in love who is pretty terrible at his job.

It's hard to tell on the show because the lack of lighting combined with the snow on the ground removes all contours from the landscape and messes with depth perception. It looked like it could've been 80 feet to me... but then I think about when they threw off Ramsey's mistress. It only took a second and a bit for her to fall to the ground. If the ground inside the walls is the same height as the ground outside the walls, then the walls can't be 80 feet high.
Sorry for the book details (if they are in fact from the book and accurate). I just googled "height of winterfell walls" and got a neat little answer. I'm so used to using google to make unit conversions, perform basic calculations, or find certain definitions that I didn't consider where it would be getting the info from.
Here's a neat comparison:
The Tower of London is around 100 feet at each of its towers. The height of its walls looks similar to Winterfell's to me.

I'm not talking about season 3, that was incredible. SeasonBrace for impact then

Clear indication Bruno Heller didn't have a fucking clue who his actual character was other than mysterious
I'm not Red John plot twist, I stopped watching after s6
Im guessing this may have been already posted.
Not a book spoiler. If you don't want to know who might be filming in what location then don't click.

Oberyn wouldn't want Tommen killed though. "We don't kill innocent children in Dorne" or something along those lines. He wanted revenge for the murder of his sister and her children, which Tommen (and Cersei) had nothing to do with.
This also adds an extra layer of fucked up to Myrcella's murder. I hope a painful death to Ellaria Sand and the sand snakes involved.

So what if Jon becomes a whitewalker. He would be one of their commanders. And there is a chance for revenge.

Pretty much confirms his death.

For real. His thread had been going strong since season 2 with it really coming into its own at the end of season 5 when he rode north of the wall with his full forces, ready to make his run for the throne. It slowly fell apart from there and the "is he/isn't he" way they went about his death made it feel even more unresolved. When you think of who the character is and how they built Stannis up, they really should've given him a more proper, memorable death.
Yes, they cut away with Ned too, but you saw him kneeling with his head bent downward and the sword coming straight down. Unless Ned can move at light speed or has a neck made of steel there was no way he was not dead. And yes, Syrio died off screen but he wasn't a main pillar of the show for 4+ seasons. With Stannis they didn't show him at all. Did Brienne just slash him and let him bleed out? Did she decapitate him? Who knows. All that time spent following Stannis and being invested in his character and he dies an off screen death. I'm not a gore fiend, but it would have been striking to see Brienne swing her sword thru his neck and into the bark of the tree, letting the head tumble between Stannis' legs and into a puddle of "kings blood".

That was well made.
"What is dead may never die." That is one of my favorite lines in the show.
I really, really hope they don't end the show after 7 seasons like they stated before. I have no idea how they want to fit all the storylines into 2 more seasons unless they completely rush it like they already did with this season. They need AT LEAST 8 seasons to finish off everything properly.
I strongly suspect they're doing 8 or 7.5. They explicitly hedge on 8 while saying "9 is not happening."

That's a really good video.

I'm sure it'l be at least 2 hours long. So glad they're actually going to finish it through the tv series and not a movie though.

Heh, yup Stannis is dead
... and Jon isn't.
I don't think they'd miss the chance to do a Beautiful Death for Jon if he were indeed dead.
But if they did a movie, they wouldn't be confined to TV restrictions and pleasing sponsors so they can finally go R-rated if they want.
Oh wait.
I feel like I want to read the books so badly but don't want to confuse the storylines at this point since I know there's a few big differences. I guess I'll wait until after the series is over with when I'm sad that there's nothing else on like it. It'd be the one time where I wouldn't be mad if HBO did what a lot of other networks would do and make a prequel or something since I know it'd be amazing in this case. Imagine if they went back to the First Men or something. It'd be way too expensive with all that CGI I'd imagine.

Holy shit I guess Stannis really is dead. So does this mean that if Tommen dies, it's over for house Baratheon? Or am I forgetting someone?
The one true King Gendry.
Probably rowed to Middle-earth by now.

Samwise Gendry
That's what I was saying a few days ago, that Meli is unknowingly serving the God of Darkness because everything she predicted has brought death upon death to a lot of people, good people. She gave birth to a shadow demon ffs.
Yeah, I always found it weird that the lord of light would give birth to a shadow demon. On top of that, what Meli is doing technically qualifies as blood magic, and from Dany's story, blood magic is taboo in the rest of the world because of how dark it is.
It would make for an interesting showdown if the Many Faced God actually turns out to be the Seven and the Lord of Light actually turns out to be the Lord of Darkness.
Every somewhat major character death and the likelihood of return:

Meli says herself that there are only two Gods, the Lord of Light and the God of Death.
,,,,,,,,,,
So I'm currently rewatching and I'm on S2 and I can't believe people rate this one as their lowest, it's soooo good.
Just wanted to point out this little foreshadowing.
Remember this lady?
Jorah approaches her looking for answers as to who stole the dragons and she says to him as she's painting some dude"This man must sail past old Valyria, all who travel close to the doom must have protection" to which he replies "I didn't come here for lessons".

It sounds as if Tommen's not eating, in a pretty serious way. I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility that he starves himself to death.
Tommen's reign will go down in history as being the most inconsequential ruling of Westeros during a time of extreme conflict that the world has ever known.

The prediction that Cersei's kids will all die before her is probably gonna come to fruition quite soon IMO.
Aside from the weird framerate and low quality audio clips, that wasn't a bad reel.
There's a very logical answer to that. Melissandre gave birth to a shadow demon because shadow can only exist when there's light. So the shadows "serve" the light.
Up to who you believe
A shadow is a thing of darkness.
Davos
There are no shadows in the dark. Shadows are the servants of the light, the children of fire. The brightest flame casts the darkest shadows.
Melisandre
Reminder that Tommen is a bastard, his 'Baratheon' name is not legit. Gendry is a bastard too.
House Baratheon is literally extinct.
