Well the winds travel from cold to hot. Westeros is colder, therefore in winter and in the West. So the winds from the west are the winds of winter.

Given that he had another dude sound it, I don't think he considers himself the master of the horn regardless.
That horn does make him a threat to Dany in a way the show can't swerve him tho.
I doubt the show has the patience to show Oldtown.
Jamie promised Kat he'd return her daughters safely to winterfell in exchange for his release from prison. If he's now an honerable guy he's going to have to keep his word. It makes total sense
It makes total sense. Even if on the show it will appear rushed and slightly out of character
And if so, thank god for that
What's so bad about Oldtown? It's only been in 2 chapters.
And so far, it has a lot of interesting things going on there.
Euron's invasion, the Horn of Joramun, Jaquen infiltrating the Citadel, the glass candles/palantir, Sam, Sarella, mass sacrifice ritual and possible Dornish invasion etc
I assume they will have Sam in Old Town but they will present it to us as if Sam has been there for a while. Gilly will be settled in. Baby will be a toddler. Sam's Maester training is decidedly complete, something bad happens forcing them to leave and go back to Jon.
edit:
Ah yes, Euron invading would be the bad thing that happens.

Believe it. Since Davos gets sent to get him and Osha, I'm betting the trio gets captured in transit to Jon and Davos ends up biting it as well.

Sadly, I don't think the show has enough time to fit all or most of that in.. which is a real shame. Some of the best stuff is happening, or is about to happen, in Oldtown.

The show only has 8 episodes left...

I thought it was closer to 15, splitting the last season into two parts.

Oh true, forgot they were doing a season 8.
Might not be as rushed as I was thinking then.
It's got 14 episodes left.
Season 7 will be 7 episodes long.
And Season 8 will be 6 episodes long.
I think the worst thing about this show is that they keep making the Starks into idiots.
I mean in the books when they make bad moves, it's more borne out of bad luck, other people trying to screw them over and them being too kind.
Here they're just plain stupid that's entirely divorced from them being honorable.

I couldn't remember if it was lute or a harp but yeah I meant harp. Thing is with the show Jon would have to first figure out that Lyanna was his actual mother otherwise he wouldn't have the motivation to look into her casket. I guess Littlefinger might be used to drop that to him or something. Even though we're probably not seeing Harrenhal I wouldn't be shocked if there's a reveal that Littlefinger was at Harrenhal and witnessed what went on between Rhaegar and Lyanna, it kind of seemed hinted at and if he did it would probably be easy for him to put two and two together.

Littlefinger seems like a safe bet as the conduit for that information, at least for the show. I kinda hope they do something a little more unexpected, but the LF angle works well enough.

See I would actually think that Varys holds that information. But then again if he did, he'd be trying to support Jon too.
You're insane. The prologue and Sam's final chapter in AFFC are some of the most interesting stuff in the entire series.

No doubt Varys would know that also, but he's secretly backing Aegon (Blackfyre?), so I don't think he'd be so keen to help Jon with any sort of progression in that regard.

Jon is the back-up plan when that perfect 'I CAME OUT OF NOWHERE' kid dies.
Neither can George R.R. Martin. It seems like the right decision.

Fitting for a book series that may not actually end.
Arya became a trained assassin to come back and get captured by one handed Jaime of all people? She would kill him the second the sun goes down.
Both of those characters shouldnt come across eachother there are way better directions for them to go

at least the show will actually end and I can move on with my life, I ain't waiting for this fucker to write more than Winds of Winter.

There's another episode next week in case you forgot.7 + 6 = 14?
They could have
Arya slits Walder Frey's throat, and the sons are about to gut her. Jaime says "Wait." So he's had an attack of conscience but escorts her back to King's Landing for possible execution, but when he gets there King's Landing is burned to the ground so he lets her go.

From what if heard he only signed up for the role because it was limited.

I wasn't counting the last episode of this season.
We have 14 episodes left.
1 episode for this season.
7 for the next season.
And 6 for season 8.
No he's not because Varys ultimately only cares about Aegon not the Targaryen claim to the throne. He could give less of a fig about Dany or Jon.
Remember that Varys was the one that ultimately helped bring the Targaryen dynasty down.

Dany's rise (thanks to her brother going mad far too early) is another branch of their plan to create chaos and instability in Westeros- the kind of chaos and instability that they been hoping for in order to bring Aegon into the picture. Varys and Illyrio have been playing a very long game.

Yes because other authors take this long to write a series.
That was Pycelle. Varys advised Aerys against opening the city to the Lannisters.
Other authors don't often have to go through the likes of the Meereenese Knot. GRRM has more to do than just type.
You do realize how ridiculous you sound, right?
Other authors aren't GRRM. The only thing that matters is how good it is when it comes out, 100 years from now when people look back at this series they're not going to give a shit that it took a long time to create.

People keep talking about Peytr having Control of the North now, and while he's a scheming little bastard, what would he want the North for? No one cares about the North except Northmen.
The Dark Tower was 22 years between the first and sixth books. Too bad GRRM isn't secretly writing the last two books together like King did with the later part of Dark Tower...
He has the north and the Vale. Next he'll invade somewhere else.
