You mean she rides the Night King's dragon? I thought she is already a internally cold bitch. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Been reading some theories about Bran being the Night King. Seems like some pretty compelling stuff, anyone care to comment?

Did anyone else see the video of the theory behind the night king's identy? I think they figured it out, makes perfect sense. If this guy is right it is a complete spoiler. I apologize if this topic was posted before , too many comments to review everything

Dumb. If Bran was the Night King, and the Three Eyed Raven had been watching them their entire lives, and could foresee all the things that needed to happen, then he would have just killed Bran before ever teaching him how to use his powers and ended the Night King before it began. Also, if you read any of GRRM's other books, you'll see more than one of them deal with time travel. The way GRRM gets around time paradoxes like this one are to not allow the physical person to time travel, but to instead have the person project their consciousness back through time. At best, I think that is what Bran is doing and is capable of.

So you think that was Nymeria? I like the idea that she internalized the Hound and it's sort of re-emerged as she came back to Westeros. It also feels more cohesive if I think about it in terms of Arya/Hound theme, where she exhibits hound-behavior socially, grabbing food and being curt, then she goes and has a meeting with her old Wolf(hound) good point big dog rog!

it was 100% Nymeria, the show-runners confirmed it after the episode. We also know from the books that Nymeria has a super pack of wolves and that together they have been terrorizing the riverlands, which is where Arya is when she bumps into the Direwolf (Nymeria)

Jon is an idiot

Jon vs Mance = Jon is saved by Stannis
Jon vs Ramsay = Jon is saved by Baelish
Jon vs Nights King = Jon is Saved by Dany
Cersei will agree if Jon says the right thing = Jon says wrong thing

Literally every idea Jon has had has resulted in someone saving his skin, or making a situation harder than it needs to be. As a wise woman once said; you know nothing Jon Snow.

I love how Danny's plan is so retarded that Preston and Carmine, two huge nerds, can't make heads or tails of it.

FTFY

GoT went Hollywood.

its quickly just turning into lord of the rings. pretty good guys, ugly bad guys, good guys win with minor nerds killed off, and the world is safe. I understand that they no longer have book material to go off of, but i mean fuck. if they understood the books at all, they'd understand that one of the greatest things about GoT was it smashing all the genre's tropes, and now the show-runners are just following RandomHollywoodScript_01

Yeah, the amount of plot armor lately has been frustrating. Characters miraculously survive situations over and over and over again. Overall I think the worst example of that is Arya, I can't count the number of times she should've died. You just have to kinda accept the fact that it's basically LoTR at this point and enjoy the show knowing that it's unlikely the books (should they ever come out) will follow.

The Baelish conclusion would have been fine if they didn't already do the same play in Season 6 as far as reversing the game on him goes. They should have continued building him up for the big fall and deleted the Season 6 finale scene.
The reason why the Baelish conclusion isn't good writing is because of a lot of different reasons, but transparency is the biggest one.
Anyway season 7, the dead screen time they spent on episodes 1-3, and the rapid progression of storyline would seem to signal that they aren't comfortable writing without source material. Not that they can't, but that they WILL NOT.
I believe D&D refused to find writers to write.
This season also confirms the spin-off shows and D&D's lack of involvement as a positive. Someone had mentioned that D&D are just bro-fans of the books and that they told GRRM R+L=whatever and GRRM gave them the job based on them being able to figure it out on their own from reading the books.

you hit the nail on the head. they were great at adapting the book to screen, but hell are they bad without book. they've had no idea what to do with Baelish since season 4 ended and it shows. I feel like they just care about the "surprise" reveal and give no shits about any of it making sense anymore. And I'm sorry, but there's no universe where Arya and Sansa out play Baelish at his own game. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Seems like john is actually the true heir to the throne not kahlesi and now that theyre banging thats going to be pretty dramatic.

[dafier]

I didn't know if any of the books mentioned Lyanna and her birth, but I was just corrected by someone who knows.

I do find it silly that it's mentioned that Arya and Sansa wouldn't out wit Baelish. The truth is in the books Sansa was in the Vale for a long time and Arya was still training in Bravos. The TV series does expand with the sisters and Little Finger meets his end with a pretty good story that expands nicely past the books. After all the 2 sisters have learned throughout their journeys, it makes complete sense that they would use womanly deception to out play Little Finger. Kind of an irony if you think about it.
