Until next season's thread anyway!

There'll only be one thread next season because GRRM will have announced the cancellation of the book series.

 

[Paganmoon]

Holy shit, I'm so late to the party it seems, just realized, there really isn't anything spoiler worthy left for the show after "for the watch" and Dany's flight with Drogon, is there?

pm a mod

Seems the bans were handed out, I tried to warn them.

They might do at least a portion of the Greyjoy storyline next season, so unless it's entirely new, there's that.

I said spoiler worthy, nothing happens there anyway

Oh you.

Would be amusing if Jon fought an Other on tonight's episode

A part of me would enjoy that but let's hope not. There's no way D&D won't have Jon kill one or hold his own before a retreat if he fights an Other on the show. They need to hold off on that and build the Walkers as these bringers of doom.

 

[Kyougar]

Clearly Hardhome must be a defeat for the Watch/Wildlings or a "tactical retreat" to get the sense of impeding doom.

Would be bad storytelling if the Wall was created to defend the realm against this enemy and some guys in a village behind wooden pallisades could defeat them.

They could defeat wave after wave but they (and the viewer) must get to the understanding that they cant hold Hardhome.

Only time I've ever been tempted to post in the unsullied thread was to respond to someone complaining that the titles of books 4 and 5 were spoilery.

Lurking is good fun though.

 

[Moff]

Hmm, lurking the show thread and I see some stealth book readers (or at least some with certain book knowledge) are posting.

is this about the comment about dorne withstanding the targaryens? was that really not mentioned in the show? or in the dvd extras?

 

[RatskyWatsky]

I think a few people were talking about Ned's promise to Lyanna, which I don't think was mentioned in the show?

That was it. Those comments are gone now, mods took care of it.

 

[Brakke]

Let's all agree to just not discuss the Unsullied thread? Be a spoiler cop if you want I guess but sort it out with mods in private.

I know this is sort of a joke but honestly I'd be hard pressed to come up with a "spoiler" about the Iron Islands storyline from this point (other than Balon dies I guess, which should have happened long ago).

We know that there's at least one Yara scene this season, and it's too late for her to show up in the North, so I'm guessing that one falls in episode ten. The only big one I could see remaining is if they leave out Kevan's assassination. I could see them wanting to have him around for an episode or two in season six to show him putting things back together before he goes down.

Thinking about Kevan, I kind of wonder if the Jaime stuff this season is pure filler, and next season he'll get back to KL, and Kevan will tell him he handled the Dornish situation well, so he wants him to go help the Freys with their problems with the Brotherhood. With the North now completely destabilized, the Freys are their last line of defense on the Northern front, so he can't have them distracted with some little insurgency. Then Jaime leaves and Kevan dies shortly thereafter.

Look at the post above you brah.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[NeoGiff]

Disappointing lack of Ian McShane.

I lobbied for his inclusion...

 

[Atraveller]

In roughy ten minutes....will D&D finally make Doorne not shit?

 

[Steelyuhas]

Not sure if there is any Dorne in tonight's episode.

 

[Atraveller]

No Doran/Jaime scene? :/

How can you be so cruel lol

 

[Judderman]

I want to see Ice Spiders.

 

[Showaddy]

I lobbied for his inclusion...

As much as I love Ian McShane I really can't see him as Tarly. Just doesn't fit the whole tall, athletic, greatsword swinging profile.

Unless they're just going to have him sat in Horn Hill being Tywin-Lite all season.

I'm okay with this. If it means more good actors like McShane in the show.

 

[bengraven]

Is this episode going to be Hardhome or just a set up for Hardhome? If they're there for an episode or two before a battle I'm going to be pissed.

I lobbied for his inclusion...

"Not fucking hard enough..."

 

[bengraven]

It's 9pm, where's my GOT.

Edit: two refreshes later, hellooooo...

 

[Red Comet]

I think Jon might be getting it tonight

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Guess Sansa's gonna find out about Rickon and Bran, going by the "Previously on..."

 

[Vyrance]

Looking forward to the Tyrion/Danaerys interaction

 

[ChaosZeroX]

I think Jon might be getting it tonight

Yeah they literally should just name the episode. "Jon gets stabbed"

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

When is Missandei gonna get naked again? :3

 

[Atraveller]

Poor Jorah, turned down yet again.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Tyrion is a goddamn boss.

 

[bengraven]

What's the significance of Longclaw I wonder...Jon's stabbing loot or Jorah finds out about it.

 

[Hamlet]

Poor Jorah, Exiled yet again heh. Better than death at least. Go Tyrion though.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Poor Jorah. Really feeling for the dude.

 

[Ponn]

Let the Tyrion and Dany shipping begin. The true Westeros power couple.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Poisoned coin inc.?

 

[Atraveller]

Poisoned coin inc.?

Probably reduced to poisoned clams.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

Zombie Gregor incoming.

 

[SargerusBR]

Tyrion BETRAYALTON.

 

[A_Gorilla]

Ser Robert Strong inc!?

 

[Euron]

CLEGANEBOWL PROLOGUE INCOMING

 

[TestOfTide]

Valyrian steel can kill others.

 

[bengraven]

JOrah has a plan.

Better to be gone with that stone.

 

[Dreadnought]

That Mountain foreshadowing

Does cutting off the infected limb stave off greyscale?

Sometimes, sometimes it continues to spread.
