People with half functioning brains can avoid it if they wish. Everyone also should know how much it spoils by now.

Did you even see the shit that went down in the final season? Backlash out the ass on that pile of garbage. If the ratings stayed the same or went up in the final season I would be surprised. I know I'm not the only persona that straight up dropped that show during the final season.

Oh I agree that his role in John's potential demise could be a surprise, but his interactions with John have been pretty heavy handed. Or at least his importance in John's narrative.
lol no, every unsullied and their mother expects Olly to kill Jon. Wait for the reactions tonight
Half the people in the other thread are already braced for it

There have been a number of decent to good episodes this season, with episode 8 being a great one, and 9 being a very good one, in my opinion. I'm glad they are removing a lot of filler from books 4 and 5. There was no way most of what GRRM had written would have made it to the show, and I knew this the moment I finished the last 2 books. TV just doesn't work that way. The show is still acted really well, and the story actually went somewhere this season as opposed to the last two books. I can't forgive the treatment of Tyrion in book 5 and how unbelievable padded his arc was. No justification for that.

If what we expect to happen actually happens it will have been the most heavy handed lame forshadowing I've seen on a tv show in a long time. Even the casuals in my life know he is going to do something stupid to Jon.
Lets hope for a shyamalan twist.
Only if you're Jon.
The twist is that Olly gets stabbed after pushing Jon out of the way. We then learn that Olly is Azor Ahai reborn. First thing he does with his new found power is ressurect Ros.
He sucks so bad that I'm considering using the avatar for losing the bet even if I'm on the winning team.
So you wanted two seasons of horrible episodes instead?
Same. There were like five different people claiming to be the "leak" all saying different obvious stuff.

I still can't get get over the fact that Dany bailed on her friends even though she has successfully routed the harpies.
No, I want a good season.
She wanted to save Drogon from the spears. Which is great motivation because she loves the dragons, but kind of a bummer if she wants to conquer Westeros. The best dragon we have. Everyone throw spears at it! That's the key!

He looked like not really bothered by the spears. *shrug*
I would have pictured a weapon like that just bouncing off it. Dragons are supposed to have rock-hard scales.
The dragons of old scared the shit out of entire armies.

Honestly, I was JUST as confused when she left on Drogon in the book, even though that was written much differently.

Olly actually sacrifices himself for Jon
As Jon is cradling him in his arms Olly says
I've… seen things you crows wouldn't believe… Attacking wolves on fire off the shoulder of my village. I watched wildlings glitter in the dark near the body of my parents. All those… moments… will be lost in time, like [chokes up] snowflakes… in… your beard. Time… to die…

Meh. There have been some eps going upto 58-60 minutes this season anyway. Oh well.
It should be pretty clear what worthy of the name means. Starks swing the headsman's sword themselves. Starks go to war for their family's sake. Starks stand tall for Honor and Justice.
You gotta cite something to back up her "arc" being about gaining appreciation in her roots. In the book, her arc is to hang around in the Vale doing nothing while Littlefinger nullifies Ned and pretends Sansa is his daughter by Cat.
In the show, Littlefinger knows more Stark family history than Sansa, and then she hangs out locked in a room getting tortured doing nothing. She even learns her brothers are alive and proceeds to not do anything about it. I dunno, this ep may tie some things off and be a big turning point for her, but that's just thing. It'll be a *turning* point. If she does anything -- anything at all really -- of her own volition, it'll be the first time ever.
And whatever you do, you gotta square the fact that Lady's dead.

How will they leave Jon's fate then?
A) Eyes closed, implied to be dead
B) Blue eyes
C) Warg eyes

This season only cost me ten hours of my life. Books four and five represent weeks that I'll never get back.

Probably been posted, but I don't care. This retroactively makes this season the best one.

Why does this matter? It'll have emotional heft tonight at least.
Off-season rumors of Jon's return won't reach everyone, and those it does reach might get hyped. I guess you risk people who love Jon and *don't* hear he's returning just walking away entirely.

Oh shit, Watchers made me remember my original choice for The Hound (and the person in my head when I read the books the first time).
PLEASE GOD GIVE US MICHAEL WINCOTT AS EURON.
"THEON THE REEK! Son of a salt worshipper! Your father died a coward, cursing your name and squealing like a stuck pig!"
The dusky woman.

First one is guaranteed I feel. I think they will leave the resurrection to next season and just fade to black when he 'dies'.
You mean people who frequent threads like these. Most viewers won't be checking casting lists or set reports. Also the whole Jon thing is dependant on the assumption that he returns to his original body and that too immediately.

This show tries too hard for edgy endings so I think they'll go for the shock factor of Jon being "dead".
Comment sections, EW.com - this stuff is too hard to avoid in this era to make a fakeout worth it.

I hope they do, but I can't can't see it unfortunately, I'm thinking he'll warg.
Yeah, but it was facing the Sons of the Harpy. The most elite fighting force the world has ever known.
I mean, these guys sat in a crowded stadium with their masks on, and no one even noticed until they were getting stabbed to death.

heard there was a cosplay convention going on at the pit, organized by hizdahr zo loraq himself, the plan was perfect
Where is it taking place? If in the North then Ramsay''s men win. In Meereen then the Harpies win. Neutral ground? You have to roll a 20-sided die to figure it out.
