Holy feck these videos keep getting better and better! This one about favourite ex-bastard is an absolute beauty -
He isn't the only one.
There are others, less obvious mind, but they are there. It seems we all weren't being so 'paranoid' as some might have claimed huh?
I get what youre saying. I dont think shes an idiot in the term of low intelligence, but more so in terms of being a short term thinker.
I agree, shes not as smart as a LF type, but what shes done so far, has got her to whats shes always wanted. But I think its also what will lead to her down fall. She will die alone hated instead of seen as a worthy queen.
She's lasted longer than LF, so she's winning the game of thrones.
What do you think happens to her baby? Surely that's a big plot point that's going to be expanded upon...
Thats just feckin nuts.
I now remember him crying about a post he had written which was deleted and he was being all pissy about it (I cant remember if the content had spoilers or not). Most of that, as you said is spoilers, but only after hindsight. Its a shame somebody who had read the leaks didnt say anything about it. Or just quitely ban him from the thread. I remember @Redlambs saying somebody had obviously read the leaks without saying who (and I didnt quite get it until after the finale) and seeing his posts brought up.
Oh yeah, no doubt. I think with LF, he didnt count for a kid who could see the past and the present and that wildcard ended up screwing him over
WRT to the baby, I said it previously after ep6 in jest, but I kinda think it would be quite something to see where:
her baby is born, but is a dwarf, shes angry about it and ends up killing it. Jamie sees it, finds out or similar and kills Cersei. But with him leaving KL, I do wonder if he will return. (maybe when he finds out shes giving birth?)
But at the same time, that would require a time jump of 9 months, unless the baby is born prematurely, but even then, it would require maybe a 4 or 5 month time jump.

Agree with this.
I think we can all agree that Cersei thinks she's way smarter than she actually is, and that her intelligence and ability to anticipate actions and plan accordingly are some way down on the list of reasons why she's currently on the Iron Throne. The power she was born into by being Tywin Lannister's daughter and subsequently Robert Baratheon's widowed wife is reason number one. Her ruthlessness and lack of conscience is number two. Without the first she wouldn't be close to the Iron Throne to begin with and without the second she would have lost it a long time ago.
I didn't just mean him. It's obvious who's been at it, but I'm not the one who got him or who will get the others in bother.
I merely had the end ruined for me, looked back in the thread, and saw which people seemed to have it sussed based on the leaks. Some stuff was easy to guess, like Sansa teaming up with Arya in the end, but timelines and all that, well that was something else

That's actually quite interesting and would make good tv if this was spread longer, but I doubt it considering we have such few episodes left. I do like the thinking there though!
I still think the entire show will come down to the
symbols in the cave
The swirls are horses (or nature). The phi symbol is made of people (who evolved in Essos, originally).
Religion is obviously real in GoT, so I reckon it could come down to two different systems of belief. Ice refers to the Old Gods and Fire refers to the Lord of Light (I don't think we've seen any magic from the New Gods).
Maybe the White Walkers have overridden their programming like in every killer robot film, ever. They were originally supposed to only track the traces of the Lord of Light found in the first men. But eventually decided that all magic needed to die out... hence their war widening to both the Children of the Forest and human beings.
Obviously, my theory isn't properly fleshed out. But the more I think about it, the more I think 'Ice' and 'Fire' (as referenced in the title of the series) are tangents from the magic we've seen, rather than a reference to any characters.

Littlefinger's starting position was far worse than Cersei's and he still came close to being Lord of the Vale and Warden of the North. He got unlucky when an assassin with superpowers and the living embodiment of the Encyclopaedia Westerosica came to Winterfell. Even he couldn't anticipate that. Cersei would have probably died too if she'd been in his place. The only difference is she might have blown the whole place up before dying herself.
That's well worth a watch.
This show has been analysed to death but have any lip-readers ever confirmed what Ned was muttering before the sword came down? Suppose it was just a prayer?
Easily. A lot has been made of the writing, but ive really enjoyed watching Cersei. From one point almost taking Tommen (and her own) life after the Battle of Blackwater (Tywin coming in at the last second to save the day, pfffft), to being sympathetic when she had to do the walk of shame (even though it was after trying to stitch up Margaery, to actually blowing everybody up).

Oh of course, snitches get stitches and end up in ditches after all.
I think it would be good but ultimately agree with you, having a birth wouldnt (shouldnt) be possible given the time frame.
Also part of me thinks (at the risk of guessing a time line for season 8
)
that we see the NK go down and defeated in ep3. Ep4 or 5 sees the throne settled but a lot of Westeros destroyed and needing rebuilding.
And in 6 we might see half way through the episode a jump in time of months if not years to show something of what it looks like, and then some old person is telling children before they sleep a story of a Game Of thrones ... lol

So now that season seven is over, I googled the leaked scripts, I repeat I'VE JUST GOOGLED THEM NOW! Everything was bang on the money 10 months ago. How does something like that happen?

I'm just gonna take a wild guess and say.....
Was that the Nights Watch wall that came down or Eastwatch??
Whether @robinamicrowave read the leaks or not is irrelevant to me, he was fairly knowledgable and good to chat to about the show.
Continuously calling him a cnut over a number of pages is just immature. He's been threadbanned for from GOT related stuff for a while so it's been dealt with. Move on ffs

The shows butchered a few characters. Stannis and Littlefinger chief among them. I imagine it's because they decided to just veer towards the kingdom's vs the dead battle. Dillane did an excellent job in the role however considering he hated the show and Dumb and dumber hated him.
It was the Eastwatch side.
Well, Eastwatch is (was) a castle on the wall, so both.
What are the continual references to D&D / dumb and dumber? Are you guys on about the writers?
David (Benioff) and D.B. (Weiss). The creators and main writers of the show.
Tbf littlefinger didn't expect a 3 eyed raven and a faceless girl as opponent.
Anyone wouldn't stand a chance against them cheating god mode bastards
FFS
I think I also gave him a "good post, keep them coming' in this thread. Although it wasn't spoiler/speculation related. He was just sort of trying to make sense of the plot holes iirc. But FFS
he had a few people reeled in.
Rewatching Season 1... so the Dothraki have a legend of "pale ghost grass that will destroy the world"... didn't even register the first time round. Is there anywhere where there's a list of these seem-throwaway-at-the-time-but-actually-crucial things? Like @Dante 's post above, that's another one that went totally over my head this season.
People calling two guys who made/run one of the most popular and critically acclaimed shows ever a pair of idiots.
Clever.
To be fair, there has been a clear drop in quality since they took over from GRRM's source material. The show isn't half as nuanced as it used to be.
Undoubtedly but the show is still excellent in my eyes and the vast majority of others too, I'd say.
Interesting interview with the actor that played Bran.. Includes speculation on his part about next season maybe.. So posting the link in a spoiler.. Doesn't mention anywhere whether he has read the next season script,so I guess its 'speculation from him..
Does he guess at a timeline?
Timeline for what?
Don't worry.
