Melisandre mentions it at Dragonstone when Stannis pulls the sword from the fire.
Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended

Have you got a time? I've included a link to the script for the episode.
Ok so she doesn't mention the term but she is describing azor ahai. I'll get my coat.
Yeah, you should really stick to the leak/book threads. Especially talking about reddit theories.
I treat book readers like a Lannister treats Starks.
I honestly dont get why is it so hard for them to understand?
Its 10s of hours of TV and thousands of pages of writing which overlap. Its really not easy to distinguish them when they often say the same thing in different ways.
The non-book readers send their regards.
It's easy to follow rules though.
You are basing your theories off of books and reddit as well as the tv show. There are other threads for that, this one isn't it.
No its fecking simple. If it didnt happen in the tv show but happened in the books dont talk about in this thread. If its leaked scripts and episodes dont talk about it here.
Well you've completely missed the point of my last post. The content is mostly the same bar a few different terms so its not easy to differentiate them. The best thing to do is for book readers not to comment in this thread as it will only end in confusion and anger.
Well...duh. Also people passing theories off as their own too should stay out.
I got your point alright, it's just that you are in the wrong here. Quite clearly.
How is this still so fecking hard for people
Well this is new...
Are you allowed to talk about the TV show in the book thread? Or does that risk spoiling the forthcoming books for the readers?
You can. There's a third thread as well.
I've calculated that we need 18 separate GoT threads to fit everyone's needs.
It's quite amazing how people have failed to understand how the GoT threads work for so many years
So you cant post book only stuff in here? Who knew?!
Maybe some of you are blessed with perfect recall but I forget exactly where I heard things. Some things are implied without actually being said. Whether that name was mentioned or not doesn't seem to affect the theory, really. Melsandre obviously believes in a coming Prince as well as a lot of things that are only implied, and the theory (which I don't agree with, by the way) can be hung on that without a given name.

I recently rewatched the series, and something that stood out to me. The episode where Melisandre is talking about how Kings blood has power, is also the episode where Varys talks about and reveals that his family jewels were lopped off and burned. The TV show has become pretty blatant about allusion, Maester Aemon saying something like "A targaryan alone in the world is a terrible thing", and then Jon walks into the room. I think Varys is a Targaryan, a not a direct descendant, but probably a bastard. Whether kings blood really has power, I doubt it, but people believe it does and that's all that matters. So, was the roasting of Varys' junk a blood sacrifice? Will it play a role in season 8?
7 seasons and it's still not understoodWell...duh. Also people passing theories off as their own too should stay out.

Should have just listened to me 2 years ago. This whole mess would never have happened

A redditor recently posted about how many of the characters have died in ways that pay homage to their most important moments from their time in the show - all the way from Ned Stark's behading to Littlefinger's death by Valyrian dagger.
"Ned Stark used his greatsword Ice to behead the Night's Watchman; he was beheaded with his own sword. Joffrey gave the command to execute Ned; he was killed in a way that took away his ability to speak.
"Tywin ordered the Red Wedding, where numerous Stark men were killed by crossbow-wielding musicians; he was killed by a crossbow."
"Roose Bolton killed Robb Stark with a knife to the heart; he was killed by a knife to the heart,"
"Walder Frey ordered Catelyn Stark's throat cut at the end of the Red Wedding; he had his throat cut by Arya."
"Ramsay Bolton was fond of feeding people to his hounds; he was fed to his own hounds. The Sand Snakes were each killed in a way that mirrored their own style: Nymeria was strangled by her own whip, Obara was impaled with her own spear, and Tyene was killed by her favourite poison."

So what poetic deaths will happen if that's a soft rule?
The Mountain will have his head crushed (Oberyn, Elia).
Cersei will be blown up/engulfed in dragon flame (Sept of Baelor).

That's close to my other pet theory that hasn't yet come to fruition. That there might still be wildfire stashes in KL from the crazy guy and Cersie says feck all of this, I'm going home....and Daeny's vision from early on is the aftermath. I thought it would happen this season though, and include Jaime since it would be a callback to him stopping the Mad King from 'burning them all.' Looking far less likely now.
The other one is :Varus being a secret Targ, and he hides it by shaving his hair. Thus removing the platinum blonde DNA giveaway. People keep stealing this one. I was first I tell you!

@Organic Potatoes I was going to ask if that last theory was yours, as I've seen/heard it mentioned all over.
But because you are organic, and a man of your word, I shall believe you Sir.

Shameful behaviour.

Incredible figures tbf.
If it were on a channel/platform that was more widely available then the viewing figures would be astonishing.
Is Game of Thrones the greatest cultural phenomenon of the 21st Century? Possibly only Harry Potter is in the same conversation, but that's nowhere near. Star Wars was the last time anything crossed so deeply into the public consciousness.
Star Wars is probably still the biggest with all the new movies, yeah?
Never got into it but almost everyone seems to love it.
Probably. I wasn't around at the time of the original, though, tbf. But from everything I know, it became ubiquitous and was a gi-normous influence on popular culture. If anything had come close since, obviously I'd be aware of it. Certainly nothing since my teens has matched GoT for the way it weedles its way into the zeitgeist.
Star Wars is terrible though.
But it defined popular culture in the late 70s/early 80s. Nothing else since has been able to take over the collective consciousness of (Western) audiences until Game of Throne in the last few years. At least not from my perspective. Hence why I'm asking the question to gauge other people's experiences. Although I'm aware this isn't the best thread to take a sample.
