Fyi for those who might rant about my theory and see me posting in the Book Thread.

I decided to start posting in there since I wrote the theory to see what Book writers thought. I will therefore stop posting in here. Laters, enjoy the season 7. :)
 
Because this show is so amazing,probably the best drama series of ALL time,my thoughts are, how are they going to end it?,that last scene, the last word! It's like "no pressure their then"to the director/producers.

I hope they get it right,although I don't ever want it to end, I realise it has too, I'm just hoping it gets the ending it deserves, and we aren't left with questions (the sopranos),all I know is it will leave a big whole when it's finished.

I don't think GoT will go down as one of the 'best ever' purely because it's so inconsistent in its quality at times, I mean season one was probably the one consistently great season of the six, but in terms of single, individual episodes I'd be surprised if we ever saw anything on the budget, scale and brilliance again. The last two episodes were ludicrously good.

Agree with this. Given the upswing in pace though we might get a more consistent final few seasons, if only because there will be so much happening in such a short space of time.

You'll upset some people with that claim. I agree though, I love it.
 
Not spent a lot, well any actually, of time reading interviews with the show runners but just did and they were talking about seasons 7 and 8 being shortened seasons. Feck you , that season is short enough as it is, now you want to cut to 8 or fewer episodes? To hell with that just make one more mega season of 16 or so episodes and be done with it. Hell I bet they lose a ton of HBO subscriptions right after the season ends anyway, so doubt it would really hurt HBO's revenue that much, just change the timing of it (to earlier!!!! which is good). 16 episode mega-season, all shown together none of this Soprano's style split, would be awesome.

I heard this as well. All I can say is every episode better be something special if this is the root they are going down.

I like the idea of a 16 episode mega season but you know what US tv is like. There would probably be a 5 month mid season break.
 
Can somebody explain to me:
When Cercei speaks to the Nun, she said: "Killing my husband felt good". But, he died cause of this animal, boar, didnt he?

I think she worked with his squire, who was her cousin, to get him mega drunk or poison him or something like that so his reflexes would be shit and be more likely to feck up his hunt.

I can't really remember the details but I am sure she played some part in him getting killed.
 
Okay end of show prediction for who lives, who dies, assuming the White Walkers don't win. Because of course if the WW win, then every fecker is dead.

Jon Snow -Lives or since he already died once he does both
Sansa- dead from an infection she gets from a dirty needle (sewing needle fools)
Littlefinger -dead, even in death his accent is a mess
Cersei -dead
Jamie - dead
Dany - probably alive, flies back to Essos to try and find Jorah, catches grey scale, still has nice firm tits though.
Bran - Lives but nobody really cares
Varys - dead
Lady O - freezes to death when she slips and breaks her hip heading out to the privy in a snowstorm
Sand Snakes - dead
Podrick - dead, his preserved dick becomes a shrine to whores everywhere
Brienne - Alive, 3 guess who she marries.
Hound - alive (see Arya below)
Mountain - a mountain of dragon shit
Maester Q - a smaller pile of dragon shit
Red Witch - dead, she does return north to help, but still dies
Davos - alive
Sam - fecker won't die and will still be fat
Lady Mormont - Queen of the Seven Kingdoms bitches
Jorah - ends his day as a stoned old hippy
Dothraki - bunch of fecking icycles, you see how they dress?
Tyrion - okay he lives, unless Jamie lives, I only see one Lannister male living.
Bronn - Marries Lady Morment, develops the world worst case of blue balls waiting for her to come of age, because NOBODY cheats on Lady Mormont.
Arya - Arya can't be killed, marries Gendry after he finally rows ashore.
Gendry - after years of rowing, lands on Westeros after the climatic battle. Marries Arya. They enjoy a healthy role play sex life, what with all those faces she has.





will continue with more later

 
Does this mean only Grandma Tyrell is left? Her whole clan is wiped out??
 
Don't suppose anyone with Vulcan hearing could hear what lyanna said to Ned about John?

It's the fashion, dragging out the last season into 2 short ones. Blame AMC, they started it. It's frustrating, but it's all about the $$$'s.
 
Just watched Ep. 10 again and what stopped it being a near perfect episode was the bit when Lancel discovered the Wildfire under the Sept of Baelor. Why, oh why did he follow the kid down the tunnels and why was he so disabled from one stab wound when others throughout the show have survived more. I doubt whether that kid was versed in the arts of killing.

I guess he would have fecked everything up if he was just able to get to the candles in time and put them out. That would've left Cersei feeling a little awkward. I understand it was done for dramatic effect but that bit spoiled it for me. I hate it when things are too convenient. That's what I've loved about this show. You can't take anything for granted and they don't usually do things for convenience....but they did then.
 
Doesn't it already take them a full year to make 10 episodes though? Pretty sure why it has always been limited to that. Apparently it's a very tight schedule due to all the locations.

If they're shortening the seasons it's probably to provide more big budget and spectacular episodes for the final 2 seasons so it makes sense to me.
 
I suppose the shows production nowadays is equal to a Hollywood movie so I am sure 7 episodes would take a lot of pressure off the shows creators. The season will feel so brief but at least there should no 'filler' as people like to say.

I would rather a 10 episode season but if 7 episodes means more quality then I am sure I can accept it.

Same reason that giant bloke in Dorne went down so quick; a stab in the right place will take you down. And Lancel followed him because he knew something was up, same as Marg. That's why he told that guy to go get the others.

He followed him because he sensed something was up , he did ask to get the others.

All depends on where the wound is, some you can move better from than others. Can't really know how much the kid knows or has been taught about killing, since we have no idea of who he is or what his story is. He might have been trained by Varys or Maester Q or some one in their hire. No way of knowing.

Plus it is a way for the show to let the audience know what is going on. They could have done a cut away to the candles burning down, sort of like scenes in other movies where you see a fuse burning or a clock ticking down, but neither of those options are very original either and are done just for effect.
 
You know that Cersei will face Daenarys with wild fire then Daeny, once it doesn't work will introduce her and Franken Mountain to Dragon fire.

Still too convenient for me. There was no reason why the candles should have reached the Wildfire just as Lancel got near enough to extinguish them. The kid must have timed his running and stabbing to the second. And why did the kid lead him there in the first place....and how did he know that Lancel was going to follow him?? What if Lancel had asked one of the other Militant to go with him? If it was meant to be a trap, why didn't the kid just finish him when he leaned over him before running off.

What was the whole purpose of Lancel being led to the Wildfire and being stabbed and disabled in that way when there was the possibility that he could have reached the candles in time? They were taking a big risk there.

The more I think about it, the more it doesn't make sense.
 
Just watched it and that was as close to a feelgood episode as GoT gets. Despite being extremely dark!

Arya killed Walder Frey (in style), the Sparrows were blown up, Jon was declared King of the North, we got a massive hint about Jon's lineage, Cersei went fully evil AND Danaerys has actually, finally set sail for King's Landing.

What an ending!

I agree

Anyway that was probably the best episode in the entire series for me. The opening scene was as good as any scene from a full budget Hollywood movie. The music was taken up a gear. I just didn't expect them to top last episode but somehow they managed to take the show to true god tier entertainment.
 
@RedSky I like your speculation regarding:

Benjen. Unless it all turns out to be convenience (or like everybodys speculation regarding Arya after being stabbed :lol:) - the thought that Benjen could be a villain is a great theory.
-He gets stabbed by a WW and left to turn. When else does that happen? Dont WW just kill everybody? Why Benjen, of all people, to be the only one to turn as an adult? - maybe there were more but that would be random - and then he gets saved by the Children (which is strangely not mentioned to Bran except by Benjen).
Also Benjen knows what Bran saw in his vision? If he was told by 3ERaven, then maybe 3ERaven was in on it? Probably not. lol.
But hes been taken to the Wall, which has magical powers stopping WW. But Bran being marked could take that down? Highly suspicious.

It could all be just luck however haha.
