Season 6 Episode 10 "The Winds of Winter" - "Non book readers"

They eloped so they could have got married. Bran may have to pull off more Marty McFly craic to see.

It doesn't matter really. Sure wasn't Cersei hell bent on killing all of Roberts bastard children because they would be heir to the thrones . So yes a bastard can be heir if he is the only son.

So much going on that what Benjen said is more significant possibly than anything else. The dead cannot pass the wall.

Surely this is major? Or maybe the walkers once south can zombify the newly deceased victims.

I think the nightkings mark on brann (assuming he still has it) will be the factor in the wall eventually coming down, I imagine brann will cross over the wall and the nightking can follow suit ala the 3 eyed ravens lair from earlier on in the season.



Awesome episode and all plots lines nicely tied off, cersei essentially becoming the mad queen was a twist I did not see coming! I can see there being 3 main plot lines next season, the north, kings landing and danearys conquest with a bit of Euron thrown into the mix, so I can see why they have made the series shorter episode wise. Already looking forward!

I guess Arya going through her list will also be a plot. Who is left alive thats on her list actually?

Cersei, the Mountain, Ilyn Payne (hasn't been seen in years though) and the Hound, although given she's spared him once amd he's on a redemption quest, I don't see this happening.

Excellent episode. While the episodes vary in quality, a few of them really have surpassed what's possible in movies in my opinion.

The music in Kings Landing was great. Probably the best production value of the episode.
Arya getting revenge was brilliant though I thought Rickon could have been mentioned in the North.
Jon being a Targarrean is pretty much 100% confirmed. The show has always made a big deal about his parentage and now we've seen exactly where he came from and why Ned had to keep it secret. Would Robert have really killed his love's son? Maybe.
Sam seems a bit out of the story right now unless he finds something to help defeat the Night King.

So much stuff happened.. Crazy episode.

I presume the reason Sam stole Heartsbane was so that he could study it at the Citadel to try and rediscover how to make Valyrian steel as it's known to kill White Walkers. Find it odd that his dad hasn't come after him though.

OK, so could somebody please explain to me how in the space of one episode (well since the end of the last one technically);

- Arya got from Braavos to Riverrun
- Jaime got from Riverrun back to KL in time to see the Sept still burning
- Varys was able to get from Dorne to Meereen

The episode was great in that a lot of storylines were resolved or got closer to resolution, but without the teleporter I don't know how they'd have managed it.

Stop presuming that all scenes in each episode occur in chronological order and that each scene is happening at the same time as another scene in another storyline ends.

Let's say Arya's storyline up until ep 10 could have been played out in full in ep 2&3. Then the teleportation remark wouldn't exist. But the flow of the show has been altered and the themes of each episode would be compromised. Add into this using unnecessary screen time of Arya on a ship/Arya on a horse/Arya on the Kings Road. This to me is spoon feeding the viewers and would also ruin the surprise in Ep 10.

The show can't afford anymore to spend precious minutes showing how characters commute or let storylines grow stale because a character is in transit.

Did Olenna Tyrell know that Cersai had killed her family when talking to the Dornish? I know she mentions something about killing but did she mean physically dead?

Yes she knew and was wearing mourning clothes. It must have been maybe 2 weeks later?

Could John end up marrying his aunt dani O_O

He should wait a few years and then marry Lyanna Mormont.

1 thing I dont get or may have missed. The 2 dragons were locked up because Danerys could not control them any more. How is she suddenly able to control them again?

The way I see this is that she has a stronger connection to Drogon of the three dragons. When she was at her weakest in Mereen, unable to control things, looking powerless and not the full powerhouse she can be, Drogon fecked off. I think there is some special relationship, like their mids are synched or something so that Drogon knows when she is in trouble, like in the fighting pits, and comes to save the day. I don't think that was just coincidence. Then Drogon got lazy, Dany was still not back to her most confident.

It wasn't until she burned the Khal's that she began to show that side again so naturally they find each other and now they are a stronger pair than ever before.

The two dragons in captivity no doubt reacted to the return of Drogon and broke free from their prison to help in the battle.
