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.

That little fuck would be the first to die. [Reply]

Maybe something happened in the battle that led to him using two swords even if he didn't start out that way? Maybe it's one of the other two King's Guard that were there? The casting call for the character everyone assumed would be Arthur Dayne specifically mentioned that he weilds a great sword, so they seemed to know about Dawn. We'll have to wait and see I guess, but I agree, that would be a weird thing to change because it would seem completely unnecessary.
As for that scene at 1:16, it is definitely a king's guard fighting at least one northman. The helm is very similar to current king's guard, and of course the breast plate is different since they served a Targaryan king (and thus had dragons), and Robert obviously wasn't going to have his king's guard wearing dragons after he overthrew the Targaryans.

Game of Thrones getting their version of "The Talking Dead".

Its the first TV project in HBO’s partnership with the former Grantland chief and ESPN personality.
After the Thrones will recap the latest episode, explaining the who, what, when and where; exploring the complicated politics and history of Thrones; and “offering absurd and not-so-absurd theories about future episodes.” Greenwald and Ryan hosted Grantland’s Watch the Thrones podcast and currently host The Watch on Channel 33’s podcast feed for The Ringer.
The popularity of the aftershow has blossomed since AMC launched the Walking Dead postmortem Talking Dead in 2011. Programs followed by the companion series have included FX’s Sons of Anarchy, Discovery’s Shark Week and, announced last week, BBC America’s Orphan Black.
Simmons and BSMG President Eric Weinberger, with Ryan and Greenwald serving as co-executive producers of After the Thrones, which will be available on Mondays on HBO Now, HBO Go, HBO On Demand and other affiliate portals.
The ONLY reason that it might be a good idea is just because there is so much the show needs to cover, and now that we are in uncharted territory, it might be a good idea to try and keep all storylines talked about. Maybe? [Reply]
