About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that...

Littlefinger was just in awe.
Sansa is struggling because while home feels comfortable she has NO IDEA who her siblings even are. [Reply]

This is a likely side effect from being an omniscient mortal like the original Three Eyed Raven.
What might be happening given he was a lot more lucid in speaking with Arya and Sansa but not necessarily with Meera was that he's intentionally acting aloof and disconnected because he thinks that's how he should act given his powers. Given the time he spent with Meera and her brother's sacrifice, he probably cares for her but instead remains cold and robotic in order to create distance between him and Meera to ensure she heads home and isn't in anymore danger from the White Walkers and does so with other people because he knows there's a big chance many people at Winterfell aren't going to make it.. if not outright can see their deaths as premonitions.

Not sure. Little finger may have been nodding in fake deference.
Arya may have been adding his name to her list. [Reply]

I'm not really sure of the full intent with Meer, but I just think he is so focused on what lies ahead, that feelings are the last thing he is afforded to consider. He is blunt because his mind is highly occupied at the moment.
Ever have someone trying to read your intentions when your mind is solely occupied with something else? Words come out quick and brash so you can get back to what you were so occupied with previously. [Reply]

I can't take credit, but Emergency Awesome pointed out that Little Finger saw where his dagger ended up with Arya. That tells him Bran has no interest in Little Finger which likely hurts Little Finger's chances of getting what he wants. And I'm sure Arya doesn't trust him given he was in King's Landing so she probably has it out for him in some way. [Reply]

Yup. I was just making an Apocalypse Now connection with Fields of Fire 2.0.
Pretty sure Bronn was the one who saved him from Drogon's morning breath, but it kinda looked like Dickon.
Speaking of which, I hope Dickon survived and bends the knee. He's clearly a lot more like Samwell than Randyll would be happy with. It also seemed like he knew turning against the Tyrells was probably a bad idea. [Reply]

Varys' plotline is starting to feel like a waste of time. Double agent for the Baratheon / Lannister regime on behalf of the only known Targaryen descendant because she (and prior to that, he) represent a better way forward for the Westerosi smallfolk.. and now that it seems possible that the Targaryen who has actually demonstrated compassion for the smallfolk and isn't a murderous wench like Cersei can become the Queen of Westeros.. Varys starts to undermine this Targaryen? But why?
As to Dragons, I'd guess Viserion and Rhaegal are too small to be ridden owing to their captivity in the great Pyramid of Mereen.
They are definitely big enough to ride. Dany rode Drogon at the end of season 5 and he was still pretty small then. The other two would be much bigger than that by now.
And Drogon looked fine in the previews for next week. I noticed he came in roaring at Jon. I wonder if that's the first hint to the characters of Jon being Targaryan if Drogon gets friendly towards him. [Reply]

I can't think of any previous interaction between them, nor do I see anything he has done within that sparring match to earn a roster spot on Arya's list. It was just odd to me. [Reply]

Dickon is Billy Bones in Black Sails. I hope he makes it.
I laughed really hard at him and Brons interaction. Especially Anton laughing when Jamie called him Rickon. :-) [Reply]
