*UNMARKED SPOILERS ALL BOOKS* Game of Thrones |OT| - Season 4 - Sundays on HBO
- Thread starter Steelyuhas
- Start date

In typical Game of Thrones storytelling fashion, Tywin will sit on a toilet while chiding Tyrion. He will once again threaten to kill Shae, and then have a successful bowel movement. Tyrion will say "I bet he just shit gold."
As the season finale begins, we will be treated to a flashback of this exact scene.

I think he will be obviously dead at the end of the episode. I predict a fairly disturbing death scene.

I reckon the episode will end shortly after Joff's death with Tyrion in his chambers with Shae, they come and arrest him and he gives Shae one last look as they drag him away.

Yeah probably
Illyrio... we haven't seen him since Season 1 have we? I wonder if they'll keep the same actor. There's gonna be many more cases like this, where the show revisits a character than hasn't been seen in 4 years. I'm not looking forward to more "Daarios"
I would hope they've been planning for this one. They've known for a long time and it's only 1 or 2 episodes of appearances. Honestly, we latch on to the Daarios, but look at how good they've been about keeping the Janos Slynts and Pollivers around through multi-season gaps. They're actually doing really, really well at this, we just notice the few times they fail.

They've actually done fairly well on this for the most part, though. Slynt, Thorne, Lysa, etc all returned after multiple seasons away without issue. There have only been a few recasts, and those have mostly seemed down more to behind the scenes drama than issues with availability.
Given that they wouldn't need Illyrio for that much next year (probably just two episodes worth of stuff), I would think there probably wouldn't be a big issue there.
I love this woman.

I won't be surprised if they go a bit further, and end it with Cersei ordering Tyrion's arrest.
Well yes, but that is the same scene. He dies and the order for the arrest is followed up two minutes later.
Tyrion is supposed to be at the wedding
It's not a stretch at all. The bad blood between Tyrion and Tywin has been extremely obvious since the moment they're on screen together in S1. Tywin has been antagonizing his children the entire third season (and fourth, so far), and everybody has seen Tyrion in handcuffs in the trailers. It would make sense to think Tywin would have something to do with that. Just like it makes sense that at this point, the biggest dangers to Tywin are coming from King's Landing, and his own children are the most important of those.
These are all basic cinematographic techniques, they are definitely intentional. This is cinematography. It's safe to say that everything you see in any given scene is intentional. Whether that be the camera angles, the makeup of the surroundings, or the amount of people walking through the scene.

It could also reference Jaime, him being a Lannister and a white cloak.

Oh man, what if they don't kill him at the reception but wait a few episodes and do something else to screw with the book readers?
Honestly, it feels like there are far too many "non readers" that have incredibly accurate theories about what will happen on this show. Its not impossible to predict some of this stuff but I can't help but question how genuine much of it is.

I don't believe all of the 'non readers' are actually 'non readers' or 'non spoiler readers' for a second.

Non-Book readers, maybe, but certainly people who've ventured to the ASOIAF Wiki a few times...
The cinematography is one of the high points of the show. They don't have the luxury (no matter how well they edit the story) to have Mad Men quality themes with intertwined plots or Sopranos quality dialogue and character development so they seem to pour their effort into composing their scenes.
They work on the show year round and I think they spend a lot of time working on detailed storyboards so they get the visual impact into the show, so it isn't just one on one conversations where they have a style. There is little movement without purpose, everyone seems heavily directed; the actors don't, IMO, have free reign to move around or ad lib their actions. This is important as it gives them a platform to have really long scenes which I also love. Imagine arya and the Hound scene is chopped in two ( it is 8 minutes long) it would lose a lot of impact if they cut away and came back in 15 minutes.

Pointless pointing them out, I may be wrong. Some theories are just too on the nose or come up at suspicious times too often.
I ventured onto a wiki when I started season 1 to get a bit for information about characters and accidentally spoilt The Red Wedding for myself. I doubt I was the only one and while I didn't post about it, I'm sure the odd few have posted spoilers thinly veiled as predictions or theories!

Now I really want to see a Sketch of LeVar Burton spoiling Game of Thrones for people.

I hope Joffrey's death makes people all happy and excited that he's dying. Then it keeps going far too long and makes the viewer almost feel bad for him.

There are things you can radically change and get away with. (I think one's coming up late in the season.) This isn't one of them.
And just as they're feeling really good about his death Tyrion is arrested.
Now I need to know how you think they're going to change things up to mess with us.

I'm sure most of the audience is going to be behind Tyrion offing Tywin, I'm sure we'll get a remind about Tysha before we get to Jaimie's confession. As for Shae I think it'll depend on how harsh they go with her turning on him., got a feeling with the way they've written her she's going to be greatly disliked before we get to that scene.

She already is, if I have to hear 'my lion' in that accent again I'm just going to skip all her future scenes.
Then watch her death in slow mo
Lol why are people taking that seriously? That was supposed to be a joke.

And will it be Jamie's fault/lack of being able to protect him?
Edit: holy shit I'm in the wrong thread and oh no what have I done and read and FUCK
Sorry, I've read people speculating that scenario and being completely serious.

Another one bites the dust.
I just don't understand how this is possible.
I think middle of the episode. Aren't there shots of Sansa at the Eyrie? Though I might be getting things mixed up.

No way. The previews show an open air party for the gifts, so that's going to be separate from the reception like in the books. There's way too much to cover to kill him halfway through the episode.
It's pointless because the show is now taking elements from books beyond where the season currently is. Even one that hasn't even been released.
Honestly I don't remember many details about the wedding.
Ah this is funny.
People should learn how to use subscriptions.
The thread would be a pain in the ass to read. This thread is clearly labeled, and each page has a warning on it. I feel bad for people who wander in and get spoiled, but subscribing to the non-reader thread would solve that problem.
But then there will be nothing but black bars. I think we've done enough to split the two threads. And really if you use subscriptions it's even easier.
No thanks, that was super annoying to spoiler tag everything and wade through seas of black bars. People should subscribe to the other thread or read the damn title before clicking

If anything the thread should be moved to community, so that both don't appear on the Off Topic threads page.
That seems like a perfectly reasonable compromise.
No. If anything they should be moved into their own little world at this point.

I suggested naming this thread something completely different, like "A Song of Ice and Fire TV Adaptation Spoilers |OT|". People's brains skim through text they don't read it, using Game of Thrones and text in all caps for both threads will lead to mistakes like that.
