From the other thread:
lol
Oh god, laughed out loud when I scrolled down to see the last picture.
Where are people getting these Frankenstein ideas from? The mountain never actually died as far as we know and his head was certainly not removed from his body. And I dont see what advantage some prostitue limbs would do him.
...In the books they sent his head to Drone. Last I checked that's something you don't just walk off.

It was a skull, could be a dead dwarf's.

I think there's a reason for the armor and the helmet. Dude never talks or takes it off...I think it's going to be something fucked. It can't be Ned's head...it's been too long.
Qyburn could have had it pickled...
It's heavily implied to be fake. Usually they would stick a head in pitch or alcohol. We know he's alive, sending his real head in an unverifiable state makes no sense.
He's covered up because they just sent his 'head' to Dorne.

No? He just never takes his helmet off.
didn't Bran have a vision where he saw The Mountain with no head?
Does any know exactly how directors of episodes on this show work? I mean, I always assumed that all the teams in the different locations have to be shooting stuff in parallel to their own schedule. So to direct episodes that crisscross all the storylines, are all the directors just flying all over the place or would each unit just have their own director that reports to the episode person, who does most of their work in editing?

I don't remember it very well but I thought there was something about a black hole in his helmet. I might mix it up with the vision though.

I don't think it's unreasonable to infer that it isn't simply Gregor's body inside that armour. Quyburn has been locked away doing his creepy-ass 'work' for some time and has required a steady stream of women who aren't coming back from whatever he's using them for. There's also the dream Bran had about a giant suit of stone armour and when he opens the visor there's nothing but thick, black blood inside. I think Quyburn has made some sort of Golem, and probably didn't need Gregor's head.

To me Robert Strong is headless Mountain, hence the helmet and the vow of silence

well both could be done to hide is original identity. doesnt mean there is no head, although I think the original head is gone.
I wonder when they will introduce him, in the books he picks up cersei after her walk, i don't see that happening in the show.
I just assumed he was experimenting with them and needed live subjects. Using their body parts on the Mountain just seems really weird. A dwarfs head and Lolys' sister are going to help make the strongest man in Westeros a superhuman?

I don't think he's just lopping off limbs and sewing them together. I think he's using their 'tissues' for something though.

Man, this shit is really putting me off my breakfast.
When Cersei wants Felyse back, Qyburn basically tells her she's gone crazy, I think. I took that to mean he was perhaps opening their heads or removing things.
Sorry...
Wouldn't 'Throne for the Game' work best for Varys/Littlefinger/Tommen/Thanos/Moon Boy killing Pycelle and Kevan?

Dany taking off one ep from now doesn't seem to make sense in the show now. Tyrion just showed up to advise her, she seems relatively content, nothing crazy has gone on in the city in a few eps. Why would she just decide to up and abandon everyone on the spur of the moment?
Moff

I didn't feel she just said "oh FFS I have enough, let's get away from here buddy", jumped on drogon and flew away, in the books.
she is under attack and needs to flee, and she didn't control drogon, he just flew her somewhere. and that's exactly what will happen in the show.

Granted I don't remember those last two terrible books very well. But I thought she had been feeling trapped and overwhelmed, with the armies outside, the plague, the killings, turmoil over Daario, the Hizdahr marriage, no idea what to do about Mereen, etc. In the show she seems to be very mellow at the moment.

Looks like he also directed some episodes of True Detective Season 2?
Marvel will be picking him up soon.

It won't take the man 5 minutes to start properly ruling to show the need for Varys to strike Kevan down before he can begin the salvaging process.
Robert Strong clearly has no head. Bran's vision, the giant head being sent to Dorne, Strong's vow of silence and the fact that no one has seen him with his helmet off etc. Cleganebowl will be a hollow (teehee) victory for the Hound since he is basically fighting the headless corpse of his brother.
Now that we know Valyrian steel kills white walkers (worst kept secret ever), I'm sure it will play some part in the show. I think it's obvious that Jon will send Sam to Oldtown to learn more about the white walkers, and he might tell Sam to ask his dad for House Tarly's Valyrian steel sword Heartsbane. The series mentions some other Valyrian steel swords, but in the show we only know of the following:
Longclaw (wielded by Jon Snow)
Oathkeeper (wielded by Brienne)
Widow's Wail (Tommen has this I think?)
LF's dagger (maybe somewhere in Winterfell)
I definitely think Heartsbane will be brought up. The other known Valyrian steel swords seem to be owned by fairly minor families that haven't been mentioned in the show yet, but maybe they will be referenced.

Nah, the skull was freakishly large. Probably a dragon skull.

No, by that point she was actually doing well. She was feeling some distaste about her marriage to Hizdahr and especially the re-opening of the fighting pits, but the activities of the Sons of the Harpy had stopped, and a peace had been negotiated with the Yunkai. Things only started going truly to shit after she had left the city.

Is anyone else more bothered than they should be that they changed the intro this season so that the heavenly choir doesn't sync up with Daenerys anymore?
I just realized that Jon Snow killed one of the major white walkers we saw last season when the Night's King debuted. The ones that were in a line as NK was walking up to the baby alter. Someone's getting promoted!
Also, the changes to the Night's King look has me hoping they do a similar overhaul for Bloodraven and Leaf next year.

He's obviously constructing a zombie sex doll
(Penny Dreadful season 2 spoilers that are actually from the 200 year old Frankenstein novel but whatever)
Just like Viktor but without hot Irish hookers.
Shit I forgot about Syrio. I wonder if he will ever come back. He didn't strike me as a faceless man, though.
I stopped watching the intro regularly some time during S2. The song really started to irritate me because I was hearing it in so many different places.

same here
intro is also super long
I usually skip the whole previously on GoT bullshit + intro

I know that's the common theory, but how in the world do you pass off a dwarfs skull for the largest man in the kingdoms.
The directors fly back and forth between locations to shoot all the stuff for their episodes. Shot out of order.
I was under the impression while reading that the live subjects Qyburn was being given were just basically to further his mad science. I didn't really consider he'd be using pieces of them to reanimate Gregor, but I suppose that's possible.
I really don't believe he's headless, though. I just assumed he's mute because he's a zombie and at best he'd go "Grrr!" so they've 'programmed' him to just not talk in the first place.
Basically, I imagined he's like the Black Knight from Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. Except less gothic.

WHUUUUT?
I barely watch intros full time, anime or TV series (Sopranos and House of Cards are some i wouldnt watch more than twice)
But things like Attack on Titan or Game of htrones intros are unskippable!
