Don't worry, we haven't come up with any new jokes in the meantime! It's still Dany shits in a field, Twenty Good Men and "This Year, <x> is a writer on the show".

And I swear, if they kill off Ghost I'm gunna be so loving mad

What was the "this year he's a writer on the show" about Varys being a merman? I remember it making me laugh.

That Walder Frey + Lannisters feast with the Sansa voiceover: reverse red wedding?

Yeah, Brienne/Pod are in a shot with a Tully fish in the background and Pod is getting grabbed in a Lannister camp. So I'd wager the Blackfish and/or Brotherhood will be performing quite a bit of Frey/Lannister murder this season.

It does look really cool from the trailers. That doesn't necessarily prove anything, because I think the show has always had really good trailers, but hopefully it's a good season. I'm really looking forward to them finally showing the Tower of Joy, as I thought that was a really interesting sequence in the books.

Also, Lady Sansaheart confirmed?

Man, I hope so. Wrapping a bunch of filler characters into Sansa may actually make her somewhat interesting on screen. I doubt it, but at least there's a chance. Also it shows just how much agency she is going to have in the upcoming books if they feel the need to stuff her with everyone's story but her own.

56 that's Davos on Bear Island, those are Mormont banners.

72 pretty sure that's the bolton banner? I think it's from the winterfell battle.

79 I think that's Yara reunited with Theon.

#87 you can see Mormont banners among the Wildling army and orange/black banners which would match Ryswell colors, but it doesn't really look like a horse. Maybe Umbers?

Can't really see them in the still, but you can when they're in motion.

I've kind of been hoping for something like this... a coalition of rulers. They obviously have 4 important families that are on the opening logo: Targ, Stark, Lannister and Baratheon. Jon (Stark/Targ), Tyrion (Lannister/Targ?), and Dany would make three. Three Dragons. So there you go, only the Baratheons get screwed and we have three rulers to ride three dragons.

Maybe they want to say the Kingsguard in the Targaryen days wore Targ sigils as an indicator of their liege? I dunno, it seems a minor thing to quibble about. WAIT A MINUTE, WHAT AM I SAYING?!

you gotta make things clear as possible for the audience, THESE GUYS SERVE THE TARGARYNS

If it doesn't have young Ned saying "I'm a young NED STARK here in THE PAST. From WINTERFELL! Be careful of those KINGSGUARDS WHO SERVE THE TARGARYNS men!" then the show won't have done it's job.

It's like The Hound being named to the Kingsguard and wearing the armor for a scene in season 1, and then just going back to his normal look in season 2 and also never wearing his cool and unique Hound helmet ever again because it obscures the actor's face and nobody would know who he is.

Did the books make an explicit fuss about the Kingsguard having no sigils? I don't remember that at all. You'd think the royal family's royal guard would be decorated with the royal sigil?

It would've been cool to see three bad rear end knights in white armor with plain white shields but I can live with it being Targ soldiers or whatever instead. It's not really the most important part of the scene.


Also in the battle scene there's a flayed man banner (mis identified as tully) in the imgur link, but to the right of that there's an all red banner with a lighter device on the side which would point to house Umber, in the show they've already shown the flag as that colour red with the black outlined grey broken chains crossing it. Umber is confirmed as cast in this one.

So I would think, Davos rallies the north, raises stark banners and Wildlings with or without Jon Snow and rides to winterfell, the umbers having Rickon in their charge turn their cloaks and that's how the Boltons lose?

Presumably Littlefinger will be involved too. Probably on the side of the Starks. Or he might try to waltz in after the battle and clean up the scraps of whoever wins, though I'm not sure how that would play narratively since it would mean Jon would lose.

Theres a guy on reddit who claims to have been an extra in the battle who spoils it. He got some weird details right that was confirmed by todays trailer, but that doesnt mean the rest isnt fake.

Edit: ^^^ That sounds extremely plausible, although I'm assuming the "Stark" part of those forces doesn't mean actual Stark soldiers, since there aren't any left, just Mormonts, Hornwoods and Wildlings. Looks like the Umbers and Karstarks stay traitor to the end too so by the end of all this there'll basically be no Northerners left at all. And Rickon's probably dead? Whew.

Jon proves he's a true Stark by getting into a situation where he seems like the underdog hero that's going to pull through in the end and nope, turns out he's another red herring and subverted fantasy trope. Ramsay is the Prince That Was Promised.
