Family's in town and probably won't be able to watch the episode until pretty late tonight.
Damn family!

I realize something funny, both Cersei & Dany look like they could have used the help of a Terminator in their respective situations
Lena Heady - Sarah Connor Chronicles and Emila Clarke - Terminator Genisys
Finally some sense in this thread.
Olly still sucks.
That was my thinking when I made the avatar. No matter who wins, Olly still sucks.

he's not the hero we deserve. he's the hero who stabs
You made the right choice.

I can't possibly see how they'll fit something relating to that into the episode on top of everything else they have to cover (which is a lot).
It's really hard trying to avoid spoilers when you are a book reader, since you click on the spoilers thinking hey, I know this already!
>.<
That said, that name I clicked through...
I'm hoping shit just gets really crazy. Just off-the-rails locura.
#TeamOllyGetsTornInHalfByWunWun
Based solely on common sense intution, and not any stupid fake leaks that were floating around, these are my guesses on everything that happens tonight.
Some of this might sound spoilery but it's really what I'm guessing will happen.
What I just named is more or less all they have time for in this episode. Anything else is hopeful fanboy speculation or deliberate deception by sad individuals with too much free time.

In Dorne
-Jaime, Bronn, Myrcella, and Trystane depart from Dorne. They are attacked again and Myrcella's face is injured in the scuffle. All three sand snakes are killed.
In King's Landing
-Cersei confesses to the high sparrow, and must do her walk of penance. She meets Robert Strong. This is literally everything that happens in King's Landing. Varys is not in the episode at all. Kevan and Pycelle do not die.
North of Winterfell
Stannis sees the snows melt and prepares to march of Winterfell. His army approaches Winterfell and this is where we leave off until next season.
The Wall
Davos Seaworth delivers Stannis' terms to Jon who mulls over accepting them. He brings this news to his men, and at some point a group of them enter his chambers and stab him for the building resentment.
Braavos
Arya Stark takes needle and kills Meryn Trant. This is probably the most solid prediction I can name. I don't know how or where this happens. Whatever else happens, this is going down.
Winterfell
Sansa finally breaks through to Theon and convinces him to help her. Theon lights the candle in the broken tower and Brienne comes. She takes the corkscrew and shanks either Myranda or Ramsay, whoever tries to stop her. Brienne, Pod, Sansa, and Theon leave together for who knows where. Perhaps there is a brief scene where Roose is making preparations for Stannis' siege.
No clue how Benjen Stark ties into any of this, other than him possibly being the Night's King, or carrying Jon off after the stabbing.
In Meereen
-Tyrion, Daario, Jorah, and Missandei ponder what to do without Dany. Dany leaves and meets the Dothraki for about 2 seconds.
NOT in the episode: Varys, Pycelle, Kevan, Tommen, Margaery, Balon, Yara

PLEASE GOD GIVE US MICHAEL WINCOTT AS EURON.
I'd be downright giddy to have Michael Wincott as just about anybody on this show!
Edit:
Actually, any show that'd give him some spotlight.

Olly interview before his big moment.

Read up on the original Dance With Dragons it's got a lot of information about dragons mainly that a dragons strength comes from its ability to fly however on the ground it's basically a giant target.
Er, pretty much the entire tenor of her attitude toward the North, her family, the Godswood, etc. after AGOT? She's even acting out a much darker version of her father's childhood.
1) We haven't seen her since she found that out.
2) What exactly would you expect her to be doing in her present circumstances that she hasn't?
Mace and Bronn both had singing recently Mace = Bronn = Rhaegar #believe

Put me down for Olly kills
I'm willing to take the hit to my non-existent rep

Drogon should be easy to kill, he's just a baby. How old could the dragons be at this point, 2 or 3? Balerion lived to be 200.

My rep is too important. When people read Admiral Woofington they expect to see a dapper ass dog who looks fresh, they don't expect a fucking backstabbing little shit kid
"Tenor of her attitude"? This isn't how evidence works. You can plainly see I'm reading a different attitude from her than you are. You have any scenes in mind?
When Ned lived in the Vale it was under an Aryn and with his cool buddy Robert Baratheon. That's p different than Alayne's situation.

Its time for the children to come out and play
Mace finds Meryn's corpse after Arya kills him and mourns the only way he knows how: through song.
I thought it was supposed to be highlighted that dragons aren't an automatic win.
Balerion was straight up gangster and the largest dragon to have ever lived. Most are considerably smaller and can be killed (with lots of casualties of course)
Also Drogon is still only like 2 years old. Versus Balerion that was like 100?

I think it's partly that he's going to get much bigger and partly that *tamed* dragons are powerful. You never heard of horses conquering a country, but it certainly happened with cavalry.

I am firmly in the #teamOllyKills camp.
I also hope Jon wargs into Olly as his body dies, trapping him forever in that dumb kid's body; all this shown as the season ends.
Will never happen. We have to move on.

What if (speculation based on the precap)
Benjen = Olly? And that's why he keeps hanging around Jon Snow whilst nodding and broing out and shit?
Like all that praying at the Godswood (reconnecting with Northern spirituality she had not previously favoured), her many reflections on her life in Winterfell, the insistent internal assertion that she is "Lord Eddard and Lady Catelyn's daughter, the blood of Winterfell"?
Er, yes, that's why I said it was a "much darker version" of that childhood. But she is being paralleled with Ned (and also with her mother, much more obviously); such parallels are found in the stories of all three of the Stark kid POVs.
benjen was inexplicably disguised as one of the wildlings that killed Olly's family. It's revealed after the stabbing.

Fixed that for you
The sad thing is, that wouldn't even be the stupidest thing we've seen this season.
If Aegon is in, I'd stop shitting on D&D

Team Ollykills was in the lead the last time someone posted a tally. I doubt the balance of power has changed.

Sure.
I think the last two episodes of S1 are still probably the best of the series.

So about an hour left
How's everyone holdin' up?
How's everyone holdin' up?
More lists are always welcome.
I would probably say (in no particular order)
-Hardhome
-Blackwater
-The Lion and the Rose
-Fire and Blood
-The one where Theon first lands on the Iron Islands and meets his father, forget the name
-The Watchers on the Wall
-The one where Ned gets all betrayed by Littlefinger and they kill all his men.
-The Rains of Castamere
-Season 3, Episode 4
-The Pilot
Count of Monte Sawed-Off

Hardhome was the real deal. The first episode in a long ass time to actually make me excited for the show.
