Game of Thrones [TV] Master Thread

if he's talkin about the free preview, he probably saw the premier...the scene where Sir Friendzone was talking to Dany's boytoy while they rode around

Dead

[horge]

so who dies? there's not really anyone else that can die right now, right?

As far as the Starks go, Sansa and Rickon are looking vulnerable.
I'll go with Rickon because Sansa just got raped, and SJW feminists
would go absolutely batshit insane (moreso than they already are)
if their precious Sansa were further harmed.

Jon's too-recently resurrected to kill again (lolol).
Bran and Arya are too far off center-stage to be killed dramatically.

where's Littlefinger BTW? not a single clue about that guy

HBO is too much in love with silly "bad poosi" to give him any more
time onscreen, I guess...

The Littlefucker is biding his time, hehe.
What I see in the show so far, is that Petyr maneuvered Sansa's
escape, then her wedding to Ramsey... in order to trigger a royal
retribution upon the Boltons (Cersei wants Sansa dead): with the
Boltons exterminated, a new Warden of the North would be called
for, and Petyr would be a prime candidate, having already served
the Lannisters so faithfully (cough, cough) in the Aerie/Riverlands.

Sansa is in Petyr's debt, and would buffer vs. Northern opposition
to Petyr, who could go on 'pretending' to hunt for Sansa while
actually protecting her.

Sansa could then be disposed-of, if necessary, in a manner that
could rally all of the North against the Iron Throne, with Petyr as
avenging leader... or he could openly marry Sansa after she had
won him enough Northern support to defy the Lannisters, and
THEN he could kill her in a way that could again be blamed on
the Lannisters, as would rally all of the North, etc. etc.

Yes, there are problems:
Jon is now technically a free agent, albeit illegitimate. He's not a
contender to the Northern mini-throne, but he is going to be a
natural leader to the Northmen. If Jon moves south against the
Iron Throne --and attacking Ramsey's Winterfell can be spun as
attacking the King's Warden of the North-- Petyr could schmooze
him with an offer of the Vale's knights, then get rid of him later,
in a manner that could be blamed on the Lannisters, which would
rally ... well, it's all lather, rinse, repeat... isn't it?

Arya and Bran are non-issues for the moment.
Rickon is the real obstacle to Petyr's plans, and must die somehow,
in order for (HBO's version of ) Littlefucker to continue prospering.

Rickon has to die for a lot of OTHER people's plans to prosper,
(the most immediately-obvious being Ramsey's) so the little cunt
is arguably next in line for a 'major' onscreen death.

I believe R+L=J but I don't see why Tyrion has anything to do with that. I think Tyrion is an excellent advisor and that's his role.

[horge]

That only works (if at all) in the books.
HBO's show has been and increasingly will be a different animal

[SterlingStained]

i was close with my predictions. i called jon coming back for the 3rd episode titled oathbreaker which implies he breaks his oath as a nights watchmen due to his death.

danearys has 3 dragons which signifies 3 riders which means 3 targeryan riders;

Danny
Jon Snow (home episode adds more evidence for R+L = J to be officially confirmed next week)
Tyrion (home episode adds evidence for A (mad king) +J (joanna lannister) = Tyrion

Drogon will be ridden by Danearys or Jon (dont want to risk the queen in battle
Green one will be warqed by Bran (3 eyed raven says to bran you will never walk again but you will fly) with Arya stark riding and slicing.
Orange one will be ridden by Tyrion.

im calling it.

all it takes is a bran flashback.

[-Mustang-]

After watching the Trailer for Tower of Joy and some pictures ... is that Arthur Dayne with 2 Swords ? if so, Why? he should only have Dawn .... and young Ned looks like Neil Patrick Harris

[horge]

all it takes is a bran flashback.

Granted, but only with the benefit of offscreen, and book-based
anticipation/speculation.

I'm talking about about proper build-up onscreen.

For example, R+L=J, if HBO fully commit to go that direction, was
at least flagged early in S1, where Ned promises to tell Jon about
his mother, before Jon goes North with Tyrion... and additional
references to Jon's mother are made from S2 onward... so that
viewers are already wondering about Jon's parentage.

Tyrion-as-Targaryen-bastard hasn't gotten any such set-up
onscreen, and I'm not sure there's any space left onscreen to
work it in properly, given the seasons remaining and the sheer
amount of other GoT-plots that HBO has committed to, without
"Tyrgaryen" coming-off as too contrived and out-of-the-blue.

I guess we'll see.

im assuming since he is fighting a buncha people he picked up an extra sword to improve his chances of winning?

dont they have like two seasons left? there are even rumors of hbo pushing it to 10 seasons. it would be nice if the theory becomes true. tyrion is arguably the most likeable and biggest stars of the show along with jon snow and danearys. i mean why not? tie it all in. id be for it.

The complaints are coming from a book-based POV.
"The Sword of the Morning" gets mentioned on the show, when
Joffrey is dissing Jaime over the White Book (to viewers, the
Kingsguard's book of record)... but I'm not sure Dayne's sword
"Dawn" was mentioned, and if not, then HBO are freer to reinvent
Ser Arthur Dayne as they wish. I don't think the fat man gives
a shit anymore.

All I know is that S5 and S6 were committed to simultaneously,
and wrapping it all up by S7 is next to impossible, which leaves
an 8-season minimum. "10 seasons" is speculation dating back
to 2013... and really, just how long can you drag out Danaerys'
walking around in circles, out East?

Jon is the most popular star of the show, but hasn't matured...
Danaerys has been choosing obesity over maturity...
Tyrion is the most entertaining and sympathetic...

I think all three of them are twats, and should all die, along with
those annoying dragons, and all of the other pink-skinned and
brown-skinned parasites infesting Macumber's blue eye.
Fuck them all.

Hail the Night's King!
