I believe so @JustAFan - do need to watch some of those scenes again. Speaking of great scenes, this one, is just fantastic:
Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended
- Thread starter ha_rooney
- Start date
I don't think the Iron Bank will play much, if any role going forward. I think Mace going to Braavos was supposed to tie that up.
Lyanna bleeding during the last episode.. did it look like a wound or was it from being hurt from the childbirth?
I took it as childbirth.
Pretty sure the Iron Bank will feature again in some way. Highgarden supplies King's Landing with much of its food, that's going to stop now. To avoid famine in King's Landing, Cersei (or Qyburn) will need to go to the Iron Bank again for another loan to get food from further afield. I'm guessing the bank will tell them to "Get fecked."
Something like that could easily be sorted by having Cersei saying "There's no way the Iron Bank will lend us money considering their ties with the Tyrells". Don't see the need for us to see that, with only 13 episodes remaining.
I've always thought the last episode could be a movie or something, with all budget that comes with it.
I'd imagine the theatres would be packed for weeks.
I can't imagine that a previously free to watch tv show charging people for the finale would go down too well
No way HBO would do that, in the end it would piss too many people off (those who use HBO services and those who use free services) and hurt their profitability in the long run. Basically it would make too many people say "Feck it, not going to bother with HBO series anymore if they are going to pull this bullshit."

Is HBO actually free? I'm a river swimmer myself. In my defence, I actually buy the Blu Rays when they're out.
I'd honestly pay to watch a GoT movie though.
I suppose they could have it run in Cinemas at the same time it streams on their channel. If Dr Who can manage that, Game of Thrones definitely can.
Well, lets look at it this way...
- He withdrew two of his best men from a key battle to protect her in the middle of nowhere it seems.
- If Robert Baratheon truly loved Lyanna, wouldn't he have been with Ned when he finally found her?
- Selmy a loyal and honorable man thought very highly of Rhaegar.
- Lyanna's location was kept a secret and by all accounts, her pregnancy.
So on one hand you have a story which suggests that Rhaegar captured, imprisoned and raped Lyanna. Alternatively you could have a different story which suggests they were actually both in love, fled together, perhaps even married in secret. Given what we know about Rhaegar, which story would we believe? Lets also remember that Rhaegar was already married at the time and had several children in what we can presume was a pre arranged marriage, not exactly a marriage of love.
I think him withdrawing his best men to protect her says it all personally. He wanted to ensure she lived on past the war with his child, that's something born from love not madness.
Also something I didn't spot until I clicked on a Youtube link and read the title. The Tower where Ned finds Lyanna is called the Tower of Joy. Might be a further clue.

By the way I was surprised when I read here that not all Targariens are immune to fire (assumed that something was just off about Viserys).
How would Jon Snow prove/find out that he is a Targarien too? I expected it to be through the fire somehow but now it's either through the Lord of Light or he will share the same connection with Dany's dragons
In the fight scene with young Ned there was only two survivors. Meeras father and Ned. Meeras father I think is still alive and will therefore know Jons true parentage. This would rely on Bran turning up and telling Jon the truth of course but in that scenario I imagine Meeras father would be called upon to prove the claim.
You can already see the new episodes in a few cinemas at the time of the TV premier in Russia, they added this option since the season 4 I think.
It will be interesting if they were to create a prequel movie, I think I read about it somewhere, with the Mad King and Rob's rebellion for example
I reckon next season will be the end of the game of thrones with dany and the iron throne being resolved, then the final season will be the war against the dead who will have destroyed the wall.
Yeah, that's pretty much what everyone thinks too.
Maybe, don't remember to be fair, but there was something like this, you're right. If so it was another subtle clue for the future. Then only Bran + Ned's companion to prove Jon's lineage I guess (although I personally wouldn't believe Stark's kid who has obvious interest in Jon's success, especially when he only have his visions as a proof)
Yes, at the Wall.
Wish they'd do a spin off series starring Bronn and Jamie and call it 'Dude, where is my horse?'
Bron is a legend
Finally got round to watching the last episode. What a finale! Some epic stuff going on there
My face when Cerci fecks shit up and destroys the Sept

It's Coronation Street.
I thought she was channeling her inner Vulcan.
Anyone thought Cersei was channelling Judge Dredd? Ma-ma picked up something from the Peach Trees incident, it seems.
She will take Dragonstone, then move onto KL.....take over the south while Jon takes over the north....both will unite to fight the ww and then get married? Targaryans like to keep their bloodline pure.
Watching more older stuff. The dialogue was defo better tbh. Its funny though, when Robert Baratheon arrives, the people he touches from the Stark family are: Ned, Cat, Rickon and Robb. All now dead.
I've just realised the whole connection with Snow being the white wolf of the litter. Now Jon being declared the white wolf.
/facepalm
/facepalm
Also, Jon's wolf is called Ghost. Jon Snow came back from the dead.
Also, the colour of Jon's wolf sigil has to be an inversion of the Stark sigil, because he is a bastard.
That battle scene where the Bolton army charged at Jon Snow and it all kicked off gave me some serious PTSD. I've always thought it crazy how aware of their surroundings people seem in battle scenes. This scene fits my mental image of actual old timey warfare a lot more. Intense as feck, man.
Tyrion really had the Lannister hair back then
Was nice to see Sam finally arrive on the outskirts of Gondor
I think Euron is going to cause big problems for Dany, it kinda sucks cause Euron has only just been introduced so it's gonna fill very unfulfilling if Danys fleet suffers major loses to a brand new character who we haven't had any time to like/hate. I think they should have introduced Euron in earlier if this is where they're going with it.
The main reason I think he is going to be a big deal is that something needs to get in Danys way, if she just turns up in KL with her army there's going to be very little room for surprise when she just steamrolls everything.

Can you be immune to fire but still have an allergic reaction to having molten gold poured all over your head?
This has probably already been discussed, but why didn't Ned tell Catelyn the truth about Jon's parentage?
I don't think it's really clear. Probably just because it was that big of a secret and he wanted to keep it to himself, even if it meant pretending he'd been unfaithful.
Honour, he promised not to tell etc. He'd rather have everyone believe he had no honour and cheated than breaking his promise.
