During the re-watching I think Jon will become like Benjen, he'll start turning undead but then someone will stop it and he'll become the next benjen. And, Sansa will win the throne.

This is way too optimistic. Everyone is going to die except Jaime and he will raise his dwarf son named Tyrion in Braavos. The Night King will sit on the throne in Westeros.

I don't know, last season really sucked with that, they flipped 180 degrees from a show that used to tease good things before blindsiding you with death (ned's pardon, viper vs mountain, red wedding). The show started all a sudden teasing deaths and then saving folks, like it's star trek or something. I hope this season is nothing but deaths.

Is there something I'm missing? I'm pretty sure that Jon is not actually the heir to the Iron Throne; he joined the Night's Watch and formally forsook any claim he had to any crowns ever. The line of succession should skip over him. Just like it skipped over, you know, the other Targaryen in the Night's Watch.

Under false pretenses and lies, he was never a bastard and should Of been fighting ahead of Robb as the true king. Do we count false convictions

He's better than most fantasy writers by far, and has some great ones. Beric Dondarrion is one of my favorites.

But he has some stinkers in there too, they can't all be good. Mance Rayder is awful. Before I read the books I thought they were saying "Mans Raider"

In the books theres a purple-haired edgelord called Dark Star. Thats his actual name, and people take him seriously.

You know, it's sort of surprising that Bran even cared enough to be there to intimidate Jamie. Bran's certainly more interested in Jamie's role in the war to come than losing his legs years ago.


I dont think Bran cares about scaring Jamie, I think Bran realizes it's important for Jamie to come to terms with the terrible poo poo he did, if he's going to be any help.

I expect next episode there will be a bunch of folks wanting to lynch Jamie and two people speaking up for him, Brienne and The artist formerly known as Bran. (tyrion too but nobody listens to tyrion anymore)

Show Cersei is not smart but everyone is a bag of rocks compared to her.

Simpler motives. I mean literally all she wants is to survive, and she realizes staying in power is the only way she can do that, because if she loses power she's kaput.

dany wants to take over a continent, jon wants to beat a zombie army, these are more complicated goals.

King of Foolians posted:

-From watching the trailer I have a prediction: I think at some point Arya will try to assassinate Cersei. She will be stopped by The Mountain and runs away from him. As The Mountain descends upon her, Arya is saved at the last second by The Hound, who fights The Mountain so she can get away. Arya and Cersei both survive, The Hound is killed and The Mountain either killed or incapacitated.
So what is the deal with Cleganebowl anyway? Why is anyone excited about that? I get that those two characters have a backstory with each other (which happens off-screen and we are only told about), but they only interacted once at the tournament in Season 1 and then at the wight reveal scene last season. And The Mountain is a mute zombie right now anyway so it's not like there will be any emotional conflict in their (inevitable) fight. I would be much more interested and invested in seeing a fight between The Hound and Arya or Brienne rather than against The zombie-Mountain just because something happened a lifetime ago when they were kids.


Gregor never had any personality besides 'hurt, kill, rape' anyway, being a zombie has removed nothing in that regard. Aryas definitely going to get involved in that fight though, my guess is she swoops in and hamstrings Gregor, then Hound kills him and dies

I don't know what book character Ian McShane was supposed to be but I'm guessing it was that grizzled priest/war guy that talked to Brienne in (a feast for crows??). He had that awesome long monologue about how war looks from the soldier/peasant's point of view, the show really should've used that.

Anyway, celebrating this new episode by watching the Battle of the Bastards again. That entire sequence is a work of art.

What are y'all's favorite moments on the show? I'm thinking about the Arya/Hound tavern scene, Hardhome, Tyrion in last ep of season 4, the Varys/Littlefinger original scene in S1, the wedding in S4, and I'm sure there's some I'm missing but I'll think of them later.

everything with bronn, maybe some other stuff.

I still enjoy re-watching Ned vs Jaime, when Jaime realizes the old man can actually handle himself

So, Sansa was giving some pretty big puppy-dog eyes to Theon. With her previous relationships, a guy with literally no penis seems like the best choice for her, he's being selfless and he can't rape her. The future of the Stark line is looking dim unless Arya and Gendry have some kids.

Yeah strange, that vibe. Sansa/Theon looked like they were already in love, not just like.

In the knighting scene, was Brienne tearing up because of a title or was it about her relationship with Jamie? They're the only characters in the show who seem to respect one anothrer in a really uncomplicated way and seem to have generally been very good to each other.

Their fight (IN THE BOOKS!) was so well written. Jaime slowly realizes this lady is housing him as he runs through all the great fighters in Westeros, that he thinks he can beat. He was handcuffed at the time but still had two hands, and she completely waxed him.
