But that's a vision. Dany found Khal Drogo again in a vision. Visions are dreams, normal rules don't apply.

Right, that's my point. He will fly and is flying, but he'll never walk again under his own power.

Other than the fact the members of the production team have confirmed that the scripts have been written and that filming starts in a month and a half you have a point.

This episode's Preston video is maybe the first time I thought he was being completely reasonable. He only digs into poo poo where the episode contradicted the show itself, instead of differences from the book. And they're all loving idiotic things and it is 100% what I thought of the episode, give or take.

Are you serious? We got not-LenaHeady walking naked through King's Landing and being bombarded with poo poo only one or two seasons ago. Also, burned a small cute kid alive, hanged another ugly kid and saw some flayed minor characters hanging around in Winterfell from the walls.

We already went through the same denial phase with last year's spoilers. Come on, it's all absolutely real and it's all gonna be horrible. These spoilers are a very particular brand of dumb that you only find on this show, it's hard to fake. It's like a fingerprint. You KNOW this is real, deep in your heart.

Lol yeah, the part about them blatantly contradicting the opening of the very first episode is so hilarious to me. It's like poetry, it rhymes.

They are already retconning everything and everyone, contradict themselves and the earlier dialog all the time. Nobody gives a poo poo about anything anymore.

Truth is game rigging is more difficult than it looks pls stay ded
I think the leaks are probably about right. Unless you're going with an interesting 'Tyrions democracy idea happens, Jon and Bran make peace with the Others' ending it's impossible to square away the themes of the story with any ending. A load of commoners hurling poo poo at Danys jesus corpse leaves a bad taste in the mouth but whatevs.

Honestly Gendry not dying in the great wight hunt makes me inclined to believe them, there's no reason he should have survived that unless there's a plan for the character.

The only thing that makes me *eyeroll* about those leaks is the 2 or 3 set pieces where everyone dies.

I could excuse the explosion in bealors sept because i took it as D&D clearing the boards as quickly as possible and trying to trim the budget for the more expensive last two seasons, but to do it again especially the *WHOOPSIE.......BANG* that takes out jon and jamie i think is a pretty poor example of wrapping up a story.

If they are true ( and i kinda think/hope that they arent) then it will prove 2 things, one wrapping up the ever expanding story is tougher than you think and maybe thats why GRRM hasnt finished yet, because its impossible to do so convincingly and secondly, D&D really started to show their colours when they had less and less of GRRMS source material to go off

it would be hacky in the extreme for ALL of the major characters bar a few to get culled just because people have this perception thats what GRRM does when in fact its kinda the opposite, he never really killed people just because he could, he continually showed that characters werent safe because of their respective positions in the story.

Either way my only hope is that at the end we finally get a resolution to Ed Sheerans characters arc, maybe he could be the one who takes out Euron

For me it's that half of it is so like, specifically fan pandery like Bronn marrying tittysnake and getting out. But then the other half just goes in the opposite direction like Gendry shacking up with Sansa and loving off to rule the Vale because? If it went totally in either direction I probably would have been more inclined to believe it. Also the other two dragons dying like chumps is really dumb.
