Feel free to discuss any future speculation, theories. Anything from the books is fair game to post. Everything that has been broadcast on TV or from HBO. No spoilers needed.
If you watched or know the events that will take place in a unaired episode that has not been broadcast on HBO, you must put all the information and comments in a spoiler tag.
Do not post any media of any kind involving actual content from unaired episodes without being in a spoiler. The only exception to the spoiler rule is content publicly posted from HBO and or the GOT actor themselves. Teasers, promos, trailers etc.
Any person unable to follow the spoiler rules will be banned from this thread. 14 days for first offense. Perm banned from the thread for a 2nd offense.

The Wall has wards, at least in the books, so unless they've got some ice dragons or those ice spiders can climb them over, they'll need to bring it down somehow.
Ice dragons aren't a thing, if they were then the entire series would be largely pointless.

If the Walkers have magic of their own AND dragons, then really the only thing that keeps humanity from being an ant to their boot is just some horrible dues ex machina that makes the entire damn series trivial and stupid.
There are no ice dragons. At least there'd damn well better not be ice dragons. [Reply]

Yeah, supposedly Euron Greyjoy has a/the horn. [Reply]

We already had this discussion after Hardhome aired, but agreed.
I'm almost certain ice spiders will be a thing in the books though. They're mentioned far too many times not to. [Reply]

Money. They're really having to ramp up the CGI. Plus the location stuff isn't getting cheaper. Plus all the new cast members. I guess they could kill fools off to lighten the payroll.
But my understanding is they're going to make 7 show series with 10 show budget. [Reply]

Right above the cliff in the clouds. It actually zooms right in on it.
There was another gif of it when they were shutting the gates and leaving wildlings outside, but I can't find that one. It was much more clear in that shot. [Reply]

Ice dragon? I can see the clouds moving, and maybe something going through it.... but eh [Reply]
