Oops. That went completely over my head.

They seem to be pinning their hopes that if they kill him, all under his control will die.

It would be a kick in the balls if they take out the NK and the army keeps coming, it would make for a better story too.

Perhaps they live when he dies but no more can be made so you have a discernable number of enemy to defeat.

Benjen Stark to return? Dead or still half alive?

Possible, but I'd say he was killed saving Jon last time, would have tried to give him as much escape time as possible and was overwhelmed by sheer numbers of wights

Tormund to kill every single white walker, wight, golden company member, Cersei and Euron. Back up to Winter Fell to give the big lady a lash and cue ending titles with “Giant” by Calvin Harris and Rag N’ Bone playing.

But perhaps their power comes from him through them leaving them unable.

I heard a fan theory a few months ago that Gendry could actually be one of Cersei’s children with Robert.

Therefore if Arya gets to kill Cersei she could end up killing her own mother in law, which is my dream true.

So Cersai had Gendry and sent him to live in the Red Keep, and Robert didn't question this?

Cersei had a dark haired child that died before she had Jaime's children so the theory is that Gendry is the child and he was swapped at birth for some reason. I don't buy it myself.

Anyone know what happened to babie the NK turned?

Maybe Robert was told it was a still-birth.

I was really hoping for even one line with Gilly about whether or not her brothers uncles nephews would show up.

Daenerys becomes increasingly paranoid and unstable leading Jaime to kill her as he did her grandfather, the mad king.
Jon ascends the throne as Aegon VI Targaryen and names Arya his Hand.
Cersei is dragged into the throne room in chains by Brienne
Arya sees the shade of Ned and quotes Joffrey, "..treason shall never go unpunished" then carries out the execution herself pointing out to Aegon, "she who passes the sentence should swing the sword". Thus the whole story turns full circle.

Or perhaps not

The child didn't just die - Cersei poisoned it because Robert was the father.

The Alt Shift X video is out. No real book spoilers or anything.

The White Wolf · 05-05-2019 03:58PM

I'd suggest avoiding social media lads if you don't want to be spoiled.....tonight's episode hasn't been leaked but someone has got a hold of it and is trying to tout it for money.

To prove their legitimacy they shared a key clip of the episode.

Just after seeing that clip myself, bloody autoplay on Twitter. Stay well clear everyone, it’s got a massive spoiler in it but zero context.

The White Wolf · 05-05-2019 07:07PM

Count that as two key clips plus a still of another key scene. Whoever it is they're a terrible negotiator; the more I see the less I'm bothered about wanting to see the ****ing thing. :P

RobbingBandit · 05-05-2019 08:03PM

Spoilers everywhere episode is gonna be epic. I'm going to sleep now gonna get up at 1:45 and hope the episode in its entirety leaked in the 5 hours I was sleeping popcorn at the ready this is the best episode ever from what I have read it's gonna be a tough wait.

The White Wolf · 05-05-2019 08:04PM

@always tired those leaks are connected to the leaks today which have basically confirmed what you've posted.

What an absolute cluster **** this show has turned out to be.

We might need a separate thread at this stage to discuss.

Necro · 05-05-2019 08:07PM

This is why I don't frequent Twitter ever.

Also Reddit and I'm very close to pulling the plug on Facebook too.

PTH2009 · 06-05-2019 02:35AM

Incest came live with **** off

Nody · 06-05-2019 03:08PM

Based on the last episode I expect Brienne will have a child from Jamie (boy of course, named Jamie) who'll be born after Jamie has died and she'll tell him he's the son of the bravest knight in the seven kingdoms in the last episode. It would be the exact soppy poor style of season 8 writing to date.

06-05-2019 03:29PM

Episode 5 will be a big battle with Cersei. Team Dany will win but the many conflicts among them all will come to a head leading to some shocking, unexpected events.

Slydice · 06-05-2019 03:43PM

Armoured Dragon! Calling it now!

All my own work:

Jon Snow killed off next episode.

There was a theory that all the direwolves foreshadowed the gate of their masters
Aryas - made to run away, no idea where it went. Very similar to Arya's story.
Sansa- killed because Arya's ran away. Lady being an analogy for Sansa's innocence perhaps?
Robbs- murdered.
Brans - killed in season 6. I don't think it should have been killed, but it was lazy tv writing.
Richons- killed just before Richon

So, Jon Snow just gave Ghost away. Much like how he has given up the Stark piece of him to Dany. I found it quite telling.

Butalso, is he now represented by rhaegal? He has switched sides, so it would make dramaturgical sense for him to be represented by a new animal. He could be, which is why I reckon he'll be killed off in the next episode.

Gendry will sit on the Iron Throne at the end, and Arya will be a reluctant hand.

I said to friends after the last battle that Gendry is a definite winner here, having survived the classic, "Death by Sex" trope.
