Probably right.
I imagined him more poking out of StoneTalisa's stomach wound like a kangaroo with a joey.
Eww... I kinda grossed myself out saying that.

there are many ways to pull this off:
would be great to have baby ned back, they could cast sean bean for it
WiC: Alex Graves on the Season 4 Finale: Its unlike anything weve seen, a very big turning point in the show.
The video is at the link.
GRRM's backup is probably printed pages locked in a safe.
Can't believe people think they will cut Stoneheart. What big, non-Coldhands event have they cut?
One thing I'm a bit disappointed in is the White Book. They introduced it earlier this year but then completely dropped it. Are we gonna get a White Book scene in the last episode? It would be kind of shoehorned in which is a shame, since that chapter was one of my favorites in the book.

Don't worry, Brandon Sanderson has got our backs.
Say what you want about Sanderson, but his work ethic is super human. Look at his webpage. On the upper right, he has stats on his progress on everything he's working on. He's 17% done with Firefight's third draft and 100% done with Sixth of the Dusk's proofs. WHAT PERCENTAGE IS GRRM THROUGH AWOW AGAIN?

I don't know what the general feeling is, but I thought he did a great job with the Wheel of Time.

Sucks that my two favorite characters are going to duke it out (Sandor and Brienne). They better not fuck up cleganebowl.
Anyone who hasn't heard this track from the soundtrack needs to
"The Children"
Last track on there, possibly last track of the season.
So good.
First thirty seconds would fit perfectly with LSH, then credits music. I really can't imagine they'd cut it.

Yeah the first 30 seconds is a take on the Sad Stark Theme and then a cut to random chorus like last year's crowd surf.
STONEHEART CONFIRMED
Not to nerd rage here, but DOS machine has nothing to do with his output. Many very talented, productive programmers still use similar, keyboard only editors (VIM). When you are familiar with the keyboard shortcuts and don't have to move your hands, you can actually work very, very fast.
Yeah the DOS machine he uses has nothing to do with his writing speed, GRRM admitting he types with 1 finger does however...
That's not why he uses it though. He types with only one finger after all.

I don't believe the comment was about output, more the implication that he is working on an old machine, that isn't networked and hence wouldn't have decent backup options.
All well and good to have it on an external drive, but if he gets a fire through his office it isn't like the data will be stored on the NAS box in his other home.
Or maybe he has some awesome DOS program sorted for all this...but maybe not.
Ah yes, I misread it, but there has been so many "lol he writes slow cause DOS" since that reveal.
He probably uses floppies and stores them in a lockbox in a bank. Haha.
I think I remember reading that when Terry Pratchett and Niel Gaiman were working on Good Omens (their joint novel) their sync solution was something like sending floppy discs through the post.

Credit to reddit, in Episode 10 preview whose voice is it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvoBl1158Gg&list=PLdyYtz46Nolb1ovYhSOnbIYFktNHfZUkR#t=18
That voice sounds like Berric..."The dead can't hear us"

That's very clearly Tormund's voice.
That line would make less than no sense coming from Beric- not least because Beric's dead.
Definitely. Some of the suggestions in that thread (Thoros? Stannis?!) make me question people's attentiveness...

Why would Tormund say that?

I just wish it would leak already ready so we knew if we should complain that it wasn't in or be ready to complain they didn't use dialog from the book.

I don't really care about stoneheart. They can put her in whenever or not; they know what they are doing and I wouldn't watch a show this much if I didn't trust them to do what they want.
What gets me is this potential Hound/ Brienne encounter. That seems like a big switch and it changes how they proceed so it will be interesting. What I wonder about is Arya. Brienne finds her and then what? Does Arya just run away or say fuck off I'm not going home? Her leaving for Brovos at that time felt partly like a function of her being out of options.

I've been thinking, if they have the episode up on HBOGo before or as soon as it begins airing on TV, I may load it up, skip to last few minutes, and just see where the setting is. That alone will tell me whether LSH is going to be shown. For other that may do this though remember not to post anything here about it until after that scene has aired on television.
Also, in addition to this, it may raise problems for when/if Brienne meets Stoneheart. "Your daughter was right in front of me, but...got away?" It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out!
Accurate, I read this a few months ago. But that was like 1991 or something.

How did everyone conclude Brienne will fight the Hound?
BobTheFork

It's speculation at this point but people have been talking about it as a strong possibility. Brienne confirmed Arya is alive and is looking for her. The hound and Arya meeting Pod and Brienne seems heavily set up and after the hound lived through the scene that ended him in the book, it really looks like they meet and then Arya leave for Brovos.

Yo here I am. Everyone can stop worrying.
Brienne's shoulder is pretty clearly in the foreground of a shot of the Hound, and their submission for prosthetics for the Emmys includes a compound leg fracture for Sandor, meaning something is going to break his leg. Guess is that it's the fight with Brienne. And Brienne's actress said she has a major fight scene that we haven't seen yet. Also it's just sort of the logical conclusion to the arc. Her season has been about finding a Stark girl, so it makes sense to end on her finding one. Plus both Brienne and Sandor's book plots end with them gravely wounded, so it would make sense to have them wound each other, especially since Biter and Rorge are dead and can't fight Brienne now.
Saw this, someone pointed out that one of the wights has a stark shield.
I think this finally proves that Benjen is a wight/Euron/Daario/Stannis who works for Hot Pie/Varys the Merling-King
Fixed.

Will we ever find out what happened to Benjen?

He deserted. Arya will find him flirting with prostitutes in Braavos or Lys and kill him out of disgust.

I sincerely hope so. Though I wouldn't be surprised if we never do.
It wouldn't bother me if we never do. Regardless of the mysterious circumstances of his disappearance, it would be nice in a way if we didn't get any closure on his fate, and he's just...gone.

It's been too long IMO. I don't know what revealing his fate would even accomplish

Interesting. I wonder what the point of the Hound's infected bite was, then, if that's not going to be what does him in?
Also wonder if there will be a conclusive victor or if this will be a double-KO or something.
Bite's probably a red herring or a nod to book readers. Or maybe they'll imply that the bite is what gives Brienne the advantage. I think they'll both probably end the fight severely wounded, since Arya has to get away, and wounding Brienne would set her up for her pickup by the Brotherhood.
This happens to me too, which is why I resigned myself to the fact that she won't be there. I'll be able to enjoy the episode, and if she is there, it'll be an awesome surprise.
Seriously though, everyone saying she will be in is just setting themselves up for disappointment. They're basing it off false hope and their idea of what the best ending would be, while having to assume the show went out of its way to scrub out any possible hint or sign (in show and irl) that it's happening. Ridiculous. No Brotherhood in the recap is the most damning thing imo.
