    I thought Joffrey and Tywin were buried in the great sept that Cersei blew to kingdom come. How about littlefinger comes back to life as he's probably buried up there. I wouldnt mind seeing him die twice.

    Oh, just thought of someone worse who Arya has never dealt with but is possibly buried near Winterfell. RAMSEY.

    Wasn't he eaten by his own dogs?

    True, but how bad is the corpse. We've seen walking bones a lot during the last few seasons.

    Although you are right. The dogs ate his face initially so probably wouldnt be clear looking ramsey zombie.

    Not a hope in hell Ramsey or Littlefinger are buried anywhere near Winterfell.

    Plus, wouldn't Jon have warned his "sisters" to burn any dead?

    The most recent corpse into Winterfells crypt is little Rickon.

    Would it horrify Arya to that extent to see her dead baby brother coming for her? He looks very different to the last time she saw him (besides being dead I mean).

    As long as the 2 dragons survive to the end I’ll be happy.

    I cannot take another dragon death again this season lol.

    This is what I’m most hyped for atm not hyped for avengers or much else atm

    Cersei seemed quite happy in both shots...the bitch :P


    I don't agree. She looks happy in the first one, where her maester looks concerned in the background, as if he thinks she may have gone a step too far...?


    The second shot, where she's drinking, she seems sad, wistful, like she knows it's going to end for her.



    I know she's a 'bad guy', but I enjoy her complex character - she seems to me to be a frightened little girl, putting on the appearance of a woman in control and doing anything she can to 'protect her family'.

    Difficult to determine - it could be a "Im going to order Jaimes death" face.

    Or she gets Qyburn to make her undead.

    I'd recommend this video if anyone has time, another great bit of analysis from this guy.

    I suspect all the dragons will be dead by the end. And the threat of the white walkers will be gone forever, leaving the world controlled by man going forward.

    As to who is king/queen, thats anyones guess. I suspect Jon & Dany will die, as will Jaime & Cersai, wouldnt be surprised at all if Sansa or Arya are the last ones standing. Either way its gonna be a whole lot of fun finding out!

    According to Wikipedia it should be an uninterrupted run.

    Don’t ever remember it not being on a continuous run.

    I remember some seasons had a break in between for an American holiday

    From years back I thought a joint Arya/Gendry monarchy would have been nice.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,157 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    If Cat is in the crypts and ends up being reanimated as a brain dead wight to terrorise Arya I'm not sure how I'd feel about that teasing.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,150 ✭✭✭how.gareth


    Hi can anyone recommend or share a link to some extended highlights or a decent recap of all previous seasons as my memory is terrible and I spend half of each new episode trying to remember who’s who! Ideally would love an hour or twos worth for each season

    I have a theory about the Arya running scene that I haven't seen before.

    What if the Golden Company are sent directly to Winterfell by Cersei, It is they who fight the battle not the Army of the Dead.

    Arya's injuries are from this battle and once the fight is over she goes to a field hospital to get patched up. Some of the patients are not so lucky and have died.

    With the battle over the Army of the Dead arrive on the scene. If you look at the frames with the horse legs you can see that Winterfell already seems to be on fire.

    The Night King raises the dead, including those in the hospital, causing Arya to run in fear.

    There was definitely a break in previous seasons before for various reasons.

    This year though its 6 weeks straight and if you watch it live (in the early hours of a monday morning) then two of those nights have bank holidays the next day.

    I'll be watching it on Sky Atlantic at 2am assuming they are showing at that time like previous seasons


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,437 ✭✭✭biggebruv


    Nahh I can’t watch at 2 am I need to watch this on my projector with 5.1 surround blaring It’s gonna be awesome will watch around 6pm the next day it’s just gonna be hard to stay of the internet for every Monday for 6weeks lol.

    And I really really hope they don’t leak any eps again it was torture caving in and watching the lower quality rips I instantly regretted it plus it didn’t help they were the most action packed of the season lol.

    No adverts on HBO?

    Emilia Clarke reportedly suffered two strokes and had barely recovered for shooting season 2. Initially couldn't even remember her name post surgery so no wonder her scenes in season 2 seemed poor.

    We obviously couldn't have known but still, makes me feel like crap for my criticism of her in that season. Fair play to her for keeping that quiet for so long.

    They don't have ads on HBO so runtimes are from credit start to credit finish non stop.
