It makes zero sense for them to spend money on a special effect for an ice dragon that nobody can possibly notice during the episode.
What is the theory behind why the High Sparrow could be Howland Reed? What book hints were there?

Was thinking the exact same thing. Hell, I've looked at that gif multiple times, and still don't see an ice dragon.

The main basis of the theory is that the visual description of the High Sparrow is very close to how crannogmen are described to look like.
Valyrian smiths weave spells into the steel which gives it its (in the books) characteristic looks.
There's some smiths who can keep most (if not all) of the spells of it intact, though iirc reforging still "degrades" the quality.
Suppose you believe in weather balloons.
first couple times I looked at that gif it I thought you were talking about the cliff; sort of has an eye socket and a range of icicles like fangs. a big ice dragon skull.
I see it though. Total lunacy to expect it means anything. Probably VFX guys recycling some animation of Drogon flying and compositing it in for a laugh.

It also relies on Jon never thinking "Wait, I've never heard about House Mormont having a Valyrian steel sword." These things are famous. If they had one, it would be common knowledge to any Northern noble.

That thing in the gif could play into Bran's story next season, he could be watching the battle from whatever is flying in Hardhome.

That's totally the Night's King's dead horse arriving at the peak. Nothing more.
It wouldn't surprise me at all... especially since Telltale
the fifth episode game is The Ice Dragon.
...I know it won't happen.
The dragon of dreams and imagination.

Okay, so I'm working a really boring temp job doing some data entry and data verification calls.
In between calls I need to keep my mind awake so I've been reading the official Ice and Fire app to catch up on character's histories or Dance information that went by fast and I may have missed bits and pieces.
It helped me with my newest theory and I'm pretty much certain this is going to happen:
Garlan is going to marry either Arianne or a Sand Snake. Maybe the one in Old Town?
I was just throwing out the time frame. I'd need to crunch it down, but I'd do something fairly leisurely. 3-5 chapters a week? Should cover the series until next March/April I believe?
We'd start about two weeks after episode 10. Or maybe the Sunday after to have something to look forward to since the show wasn't going to be on screens!

Am I...bad...for thinking the wildling woman looks hotter as a wight...
It's a rook on a rook.
I have a theory on that, actually. I think they may have both powers - ice AND fire. They just don't use fire because they're in the north.
I had a really good reason why (a connection between the great other and the Red God - likely being the same person hence the resurrections) but I've mostly forgotten it.
Holy shit, that confirms it doesn't it?
That it's all a fan theory and they're aware of it and so that's not how it's going to happen...?

I think what is unknown is of Jon gets resurrected or just lives out in ghost. Of course 99% he does get resurrected.

no I think they moved melisandre away from castle black so people won't wonder why she didn't just ressurect him right there. season 5 will end with his "death" and he won't be ressurected right there. his eyes may or may not turn white though. and at some point during season 6 she will move him back to his body, this might be different in the books but the show will not discard kit harrington.
She's extra hot as a German. You should watch Pitch Perfect 2. (actually you shouldn't that movie was terrible but this lady's parts were good)

I would only watch Pitch Perfect for one reason.
But in the weird case that I did, I would be interested in seeing wildling sing...

I mentioned this yesterday, but I think Valyrian steel is forged in dragon's fire. I think it is also called Dragon steel in the books. My theory is that this will unite the kingdoms to follow Dany since she will be the only source of new Valyrian weapons.

There are references in text books that the others are weak to Dragonglass (obsidian) and Dragonsteel. Jon and Sam believe dragonsteel to be Valyrian Steel.

That makes me wonder, how do they write around the fact that dragons vs. white walkers would be a completely one-sided battle? If Drogon had been at Hardhome the series would be over already. Do they have secret anti-dragon weapons?
Ice dragons confirmed.
I bet ice spears will fuck a dragon up. It's not like they're invincible. Boring ass humans were able to wipe them out.
I did find it weird that Blackfyre didn't show up in The Mystery Knight.
Ice Dragon.
Unless Drogon is a secret whitewalker. It is one of the series' more implausible theories.

Isn't it speculated they had Griffins though? I mean Connington does come from a place called Griffin's Roost
No, people of KL literally killed a few during the Dance of the Dragons as well as the dragons killing each other.Isn't it speculated they had Griffins though? I mean Connington does come from a place called Griffin's Roost

Yeah there's a subplot about Anna Kendrick being sexually confused by how babely that wildling babe is. Just sit in the back and spend most of the movie goofing on GAF or whatever and look up every once in a while.

What's this? Has an episode leaked?
Ramsay flayed the white walkers.
His knives and dogs are made of Valyrian steel.

Same for me please.
Ugh after rewatching the Jon vs. White Walker gif I just realized what a huge, huge missed opportunity it was for him to take that ice sword after defeating him.
Me too please!
