My assumption is that there will just be some explanation next season (probably from Thoros) about how they found her body in the water months before. Just like in the books. No need for a flashback, IMO.

Not bothered by the Emmy nom. Stoneheart is not going to look anywhere near as horrific as we imagine her from the books. Remember the audience hasn't seen Cat in well over a year. Lady Stoneheart needs to be instantly recognizable as Cat, so her face isn't going to be some ghoulish nightmare of melting skin. I expect they'll apply heavy makeup and die her hair, but as for prosthetics, I don't see how they're necessary. We don't even have to see her throat if she's wearing a scarf.

They'll probably end it on Bran/Children of the Forest/Bloodraven.

Probably posted before, but I didn't see it in the last few pages at least. Had me in fucking stitches.
And listening to the Season 4 soundtrack... There's some good stuff in there. Based Djawadi.

Not sure it matters. Show her next to Thoros and people will know what's up.

There's a bit of the "North" theme in there, so it's definitely something North-related. There's a good chance a lot of it will be end credits music, as was the case with "Mhysa" and "Fire and Blood" too.
Ah man, we ain't getting LSH :<
Unless we get LSH and then we get a fly around to all of "her" children doin their thing?

I'd really hope the last scene is Stoneheart if only because even in the books its a great WTF moment that seems to come out of no where and makes you want to jump right into the next book. It would be the same on the show.
Seasons 1 and 2 had some great final scenes but last year's with Dany crowd surfing was absolutely dreadful.

Yeah, in book canon he's a prisoner at the Twins. In the show, he was sent to clear the Lannisters out of the Riverlands off-screen and never resurfaced. They could come up with some plot line for how he escaped an awesome battle in which he lost his ear and made it back North. Ever since they said Rickon is going there, I figured he would be taking Robett Glover's place as Manderly's wingman in the Rickon plot.
Yeah they just never bothered to recast him when the actor left. It's a shame because he would have been great at the wedding.

Man y'all can speculate about Stoneheart A LOT.
Right? Who cares anyway, Stannis will steal the episode.

People are going to forget who Stannis is once that Tyrion and Tywin scene is over.

Too true. That's why Stannis needs to be firsties, Tyrion/Tywin later.

I guess I just mean I can see them dropping it in this ep because there is so much with Tyrion, the wall, Arya, and burned husks of children to get to. But it just makes us much sense to have the LSH reveal and cut to black after showing the relative position of all the Stark children.
The one thing I expect out of this episode is to do the opposite of what Blackwater and Red Wedding did -- rather than bringing everyone together I expect this ep to show the diaspora of the Starks and reveal that they're all still very much the center of the show. I think this will throw some of the show-only people a bit of a bone. LSH would be essential to that.

The only point against no LSH at the end of the episode is that there's been a total lack of mention of her and only one mention of BWB this entire season. It'll be pretty disappointing if Stoneheart isn't the last scene of the season because as already said, it's the perfect shocking moment to get people talking in a way Tyrion's shit won't so much.
That's one of those things that wouldn't really work on TV like Barriston being "White Beard". Don't know if the Quiet Isle is all that important anyway, much of Brienne's traveling would be ultimately pointless anyway give its purpose in the book isn't really needed in the show.
The only build up in ASoS was a couple mentions of her (which admittedly the show hasn't done which is disappointing) and a vague dream which wouldn't click until after reading it again so that's not that much different from the epilogue. She's been pulled out of the river for months at this point if they're going to actually use the character.
But season four is supposed to cap book three and it really is the big "WTF" moment at the end of the books that's also perfect for the show, if show watchers really want to know what's going on they can always spoil themselves. They were too far from that point even at this season's premiere since weeks had already passed between last year's finale and this year's premiere and then a couple more weeks passed from episode one to episode two.

this has to be a joke post, I can't believe someone would think the wildlings are attacking the north from the south

That poor guy is so confused :0
I thought Dany was north of the wall for the longest time, despite the dozens of times characters referred to her being in the east.
I'm dying lol
This is why the shows spells out shit so blatantly. It's annoying but 90% of the audience needs to be babyfed with this sort of info.

Exactly. And readers were soooo twisted up about Only Cat.
It would be pretty funny if the show refers to Stoneheart as Lady Cat.

My non-reader friend thought that Jaime was called the kingslayer because he killed Ned Stark. To this day I have no idea how he put that together.

I know people who watch this show and can only name 1 or 2 characters MAX. And that's not an exaggeration.
Yep my old man still calls Ned Sharpe and every other character by their general description. Pretty embarrassing but I don't have the heart to correct him.

My guess is that they'll leave Lady Stoneheart for the first big shocker of the next season. Ep 10 will end with Bloodraven and a weirwood vision.
Do they watch the show, or have they just seen every fourth episode?
I've seen about twelve episodes of Community, so I know the basics of the characters, but I wouldn't say that I "watch Community".

Same here. The people I know usually just refer to the characters by nicknames: Kelly C, cool girl, fat guy, etc.
I just asked my mom how many Game of Thrones characters she could name. She came up with Cersei, Jaime, the Mountain, Jon Snow, Robb, Joffrey, and Dany.
I'm shocked she got that many. I never hear her call characters by first name. It's always the midget, the midget's friend, daddy stark, daddy lancaster, the grandma, the little stark girl with a sword, dragon lady.

TBF though Sharpe and Stark sound pretty close. If Ned's first name was Boromore or something like that I'd imagine a lot of people would be making a similar mistake.

nah man they watch it. My mom for instance has seen every single episode and cannot name a single person other than Tyrion.
