Have you noticed how in the previews when they show Bran having a vision(I'm assuming since he's standing) with the Night King, he grabs Brans arm? [Reply]

This purpose will be furthered when finds out his true parentage, Bran is going to ride to the wall before seasons end. You will have a Stark Family Reunion minus Arya?
Should be good!
And since snow went to the other side and experienced the void after death, he really does know nothing, the nothing anyway...... [Reply]
One of the great things about this show and books I presume to an even further extent, is that every little detail seems to have a purpose and a reason that is consistent and makes sense to the story and the world that has been established. That's what makes the discussion good even though it may leave people wondering sometimes why something is the way it is because the story is held to such a high standard. [Reply]

No way does every detail mean something, especially in the books.
There are hundreds of pages about what people are eating... [Reply]
Personally I'd rather be involved with discussions regarding the minutiae within fantasy stories than what the Kardashians latest controversy is. If that makes me a "fucking idiot", so be it. [Reply]

Do you expect it to be super realistic?
Nope. And honestly, I really don't care about kings blood or disappearing dogs. I do read the discussions though, because sometimes someone points out something that I didn't notice at the time. Like the fact that Ramsay was using 2 different breed of dog. Is that an important fact? Probably not. But I thought that was a cool attention to detail bit on their part.
With the current social media tools and trends for people to pick apart every little thing, we are seeing content developers create easter eggs all over. I get a kick out of those. I also enjoy very subtle foreshadowing efforts that I don't pick up on, but appreciate with a chuckle when someone who has way too much time on their hands recognizes and shares them. [Reply]

Thats cool. I want that too. As I think most people in this thread also want. Just no personal insults. [Reply]

Lol, then we are In the same boat basically. You arent one of the fucking idiots I was talking about.
I'm talking about people who believe this series should be realistic.. [Reply]
I think the Rhllor thing boils down to a combination of faith and sacrifice.
Priests/priestess with great faith in Rhllor can perform miraculous things (as with Thoros and Beric). When a great sacrifice is made to feed the god's power (ritual blood sacrifice), the priest/priestess making the sacrifice gets some of that power.
If you've been reading the books, there are a lot of indications Melisandre has been misinterpreting her visions - seeing Stannis when actually it's Jon Snow. So her power being used to res Snow is actually just in line with everything she's been seeing (but not seeing). [Reply]
