Being acknowledged=/=being in the line of succession.
I think someone did the logistics and said that it would pass over to the Targaryens somehow because all Baratheons are dead.
On the other hand, that would be quite funny in a sense if Edric got to kingship because then he'd be the Storm King, who the Baratheons claim heritage from.

When does filming start?
I want spy shots of Jon Snow still alive, or I will be hurt.

I couldn't recall. I thought he had prepared a letter but... things sort of blend between the books/show especially in the early seasons.
Well, not only that. I don't even consider it a lie. They're protecting the integrity of their job by not putting out spoilers on their work.

Dillane and Cunningham put on a clinic the past couple seasons. They are outstanding actors.
Hopefully Dillane gets some good work after this show. He killed it in John Adams too.

Yeah, you're right. I was trying to be clear how normal it is. So crazy that people in this thread are freaking out.

The second season of The Tunnel returns next year - Dillane is so effortlessly charismatic in it, it's insane that Stannis and Karl Roebuck are played by the same person.

If Jon is dead, there could be a war at the Wall with Tormund coming out on top.
He understands the threat of the WhiteWalkers so it's not like they'd act like "wildlings."

If she goes to TitanCon this year, I'll ask her and record it for GAF.

Tyene should have said Bad Myrish Swamp instead of Bad Pussy which sounds like a RAP album name
YES!

So apparently the HBO show site says in Stannis' biography that he died at the hands of Brienne outside Winterfell.
I'll believe it when I see it confirmed on TV. If that is the case they missed a clear opportunity to just show Stannis getting got... They dont' shy away from that with anybody else, Ned, Oberyn Martel, Jaime getting his arm cut off, Rob getting it in the heart, Jon Snuhh getting got by OlliOlli... So I can't imagine why they'd cut away from Stannis -- who is supposed to be portrayed as a baddie late season -- from Brienne, who is portrayed as a heroine.
Assuming ol' Stanner aint dead.
Didn't the showrunners recently state that they felt like they had to show the death occur so that there wasn't fan speculation that they might come back? Seems like I heard that recently.
I also wonder if Brienne's character would kill a helpless person like that, even with the anger she has. OF course, if I worry to much about character actions, I might enjoy the show version less, so might just leave this one alone.

Looks like we have a number of alive/not alive plot points to avatar bet on for the upcoming season!

Yes. Because, as many of us keep saying, Brienne killed him. Some people just can't accept it, though.
I remember after Ep.4 this season there were people who firmly believed that Barry wasn't going to die because: "why would they show Grey Worm saving him from getting his throat cut if he's just going to die later?"
Beginning of next episode: Barry's dead as a doornail.
Well killing him might be the first oath she's kept right? Has to earn the sword I guess!

Barristan's death's issue was that it was shot so poorly and made to be inconclusive. Imagine if Sansa is dead next season after jumping into the snow. I mean obviously she isn't, but imagine if they did that. It would be the same as Barristan's death, I think.

I think Brienne was the first change in the show I was outright bothered by. During her scene where she just murders errbody.
I like Gwen as a person, but I despise Brienne in the show. She's a hotheaded brute who screams like a cow in heat.

There were a bunch of people missing that didn't make sense. The lack of Tryells was perhaps the biggest missing thing.
Yeah the power struggle between Cersei and the Tyrells felt really lame by comparison to the books. They just got dropped after that trial in the Sparrow's closet.

2 days later and I still can't get over how much they fucked it all up except for maybe the walk of shame

Is it bad? I mean, apparently she only had sex with one guy if the show has anything to do with it. The book only hints at it.
She's more of a "wink wink" good girl with a "wink wink" good pussy.

Doesn't mean anything. It's what they want you to believe. It also says Jon was killed.

I won't stop watching if Jon is magically dead because 'fuck you we don't want zombies except we just brought one back' but man i'll consider it
E3 softened the blow for me, I totally forgot instantly thanks to Doom/Fallout 4 being shown immediately after

That was a brutal troll job by whoever does those at HBO.
They pretty much have to do an "immediately after" finale, but that precludes the possibility of seeing anyone march on the Boltons or seeing the Sparrows removed from power.
They'll have to include
-Jon death reaction/resurrection
-Sansa/Theon escape
-Satan congratulating himself on defeating the greatest general of all time

I know. I'll bet GRRM was like "Damn, that was a mean thing to do to Jon."
Guys.
Guys.
This just in. I ventured over to the embarrassingly bad HBOWatch site, came across this, and facepalmed back out.
Hmm, you seem to know your good pussy from your bad pussy. Can you elaborate on what exactly constitutes a bad pussy?

I might like it if I didn't think finally abandoning his vows for his sister was so much better than that and said much more about his character. I don't understand why they changed it.

That and the walk were the only things done right.
Chekhov's glaive.
Because they wanted to parallel Ned Stark. I told you guys before. This show is in love with scenes they already filmed.
Ned Stark sits around pondering who to back, how to proceed, then he walks in the throne room and loses everything.
