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.

Its was 2 anuerisyms. Strange timing for it to be in the press IMO. She has kept it quiet for the past 7 years.

Because she's finished the role and probably didn't want ever presser to be about her abuerisyms

Often something like this means that press somewhere had gotten wind of it, and she's decided to tell the story first - from her non-sensationalised prespective - to try and avoid it becoming a big "shock" story.

Then you think they would have waited until after the last season aired?

Given that its going to be a media frenzy from now til it ends.

Been rewatching previous series lately and watched battle of the bastard's on Friday, which gave me a theory as to who Arya might be running from in the crypts in the new trailer.....

Rickon was killed before the battle and after Ramsay is defeated, Jon says he wants to bury him in the crypts.. It's possible he's what she's running from, not being able to kill him due to being her baby bro previously.

It'd have to be one of her family with Rickon the most likely call. Starting the trailer with that and her saying she knows all the faces of death is too much of a tease.

Headless Ned wouldn't have the same effect unless she sees his body raising from underneath his statue. Cat and Robb's remains are unlikely to be in the crypts.

Possibly a reanimated Sansa or Bran but doubt it.

Yeah, Ned is just bones and there's no sign of Cat or Robb's bodies so Rickon is the likely choice of already dead people, he's the most recent so won't have decomposed much, for maximum effect on Arya.

Robb is headless too, unless he comes back with the direwolf head, which would be ... interesting.

His body was never recovered from the Twins though so unlikely to be him or Cat. Definitely be interesting, mind.

I know the dialogue is a bit hokey in later seasons but there are still some brilliant scenes, Edmure Tully and Jaime being one I had never thought of first time round.

Also, man, didn’t the Stark banner being draped back over the walls of Winterfell look good.
The score for the Sept revenge scene is fantastic too.

This is a great scene because of its subtlety.

Jaime actually does nothing, he takes the castle with little or no violence (besides the Blackfish), saves many lives, and keeps his word to Brienne.

Its his reputation that does the work for him.

But the thing is - he doesnt make a threat he wont follow through so would he have catapulted Edmures son in? I think he would, but he just didnt have to. Its that complexity that makes him a great character IMO.

I love the actor who plays Edmure Tully - he brings a great dose of realism as Edmure with his crooked teeth.

Joffrey threatened to serve Robb's head to Sansa at his wedding the craziest theory I've seen is Robb's head is on Ser Robert Strong as the head of the Mountain was sent to Dorne.

3 Promos over the last 24 hours.

Not watching anything, going in blind for the last season, so far all Ive had spoiled is that Arya is

running from someone in the crypts.

Sleepy · 03-04-2019 08:24AM

Same, I'm avoiding the teasers, there's too little material left and with the increased pace any teaser is going to be spoilerific.

DvB · 03-04-2019 11:09AM

Same here, i'm out 100% until each episode airs.

Carice Van Houton teased a shot of the title sequence on her instagram story @leavecaricealone looks like winter is creeping up.

They had the red carpet premiere last night so it might be time to leave the internet now.

I don’t understand that for tv shows what do they do just show the first episode on the big screen ? What’s the point of that

So they can have a "launch" and wear fancy clothes?

The danger is that now that episode is out "in the wild", so spoilers are going to start appearing.

Only after I've let the dragons have a go at it :P

We'll remain spoiler free until Wednesdays in the threads as previously but spoilers will spoil.
