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...
Another thing sort of getting glossed over is the fact that they did finally answer the question of what the white walkers are wanting (the night king anyway) [Reply]
There is an awful lot to unpack on an episode that nothing happened.
Really good performances all around.
The knighting scene was fucking first class, and that montage was marvelous. John and Dany's scene was well done, especially given how it would be such an easy thing to fall off the rails. Jamie's scene in the Hall was really well done too.
I was pretty frustrated with however the fuck you spell his name's casting as Jamie, but as he got into the character and they quit trying to have him fight, he's really done a hell of a good job for the most part. There were scenes that definitely didn't work, but his time in this season, Retaking Riverrun, and the Season 3 character arc is really fucking good work.

Only thing I can think of is that there's a major curveball coming. John becomes the Night King and takes everyone to kill Cersi or something and the zombies all live happily ever after as cold dead people or something.
They get their asses handed to them and head south. Battle for Winterfell might be over by this time next week, but the war isn't. My guess.

Maisey Williams is actually pretty outgoing with her body outside of GOT. I mean It's weird as fuck that she was so little in the first season, but that was NINE years ago.
Some of the pictures of her and Sophie Turner partying it up are pretty interesting. Turner is a classic beauty and Williams is a little fireball. [Reply]

Eh, seems a little wonky. Literally nobody had heard of this dude until Bran shows up and he's suddenly the key to humanity's existence?

I think he actually kills Tyrion, after listening to Tyrion talking to Jamie on the battlements. Probably not next week, but it's happening. Plus he said that bit about 'one of you two will be wearing this soon' and then they spend the rest of the episode building him back up with Dany.
So Jamie lives long enough to kill Cersei. Fulfills Maggy the Frog's prophesy.
may be he kills the ice dragon with the cross bow [Reply]

Tyrion was awfully confident in the happy hour by the fire place scene that took place after talking to Bran. I think he even mentioned or said that they (everyone in the room) would all make it out of there alive. Though that puts it at odds with Bran telling Jamie there may not be an afterwards.
I’m sure a lot was said, and wonder if he knows Aegon Targaryen is the true heir to the throne and not Dany. Might help with his quest to overthrow Cersei. [Reply]

I kinda think it’s how Jamie goes out, won’t be the first time he tries to end a war with one quick act. Only this time Bronn isn’t there to tackle him, and it’s not an old mad king stabbed in the back.

Agreed, good acting, nice payoff and I love tormund’s reaction, beaming like a soccer dad. [Reply]

1. Everyone meets
2, everyone drinks has sex
3. Battle, half die, lull in battle
4. 2nd battle, final battle
5. Lannister army rolls up, start new battle, half of everyone dies, Starks retreat to greyjoy castle. backup arrives from second sons. Or Lannister and bought warriors show up to battle and the new troops turn on Lannisters.
6. Ride to iron throne and destroy it. Follow-up stories. [Reply]

Oh Arya. Why'd you have to go and turn a little bit human. One of you two has to go now, after that. And you're definitely not dying yet, so it's him. Plus, it's Game of Thrones, so they'll do something extra awful. Maybe turn Gendry into a walker first and then make you put him down.
That's gonna suck.
Brianne has that just awesome moment, so she has to lose someone. It's too early for Jamie, so farewell Pod.
Those were the obvious ones. Maybe I'll feel some more after second viewing.
Jon and Dany are done. The look on his face at her reaction says it all. 'I just told you I'm your nephew and all you talk about is the ****ing iron throne'. I don't think he gives a shit about the throne, and once she processes it I just don't see either one of them open to incest, even if it is Targaryen tradition. Heartbreaking.
I thought she was going to slice his throat right there in the crypt before the battle even starts.

Another part of me guessing. What if there always needs to be a night king? Steal part of world of Warcraft the lichking. Always need a leader of the dead. So one of them becomes the new king and goes back to the north? [Reply]
