The Official Game of Thrones [A Song of Ice and Fire] Thread (includes spoilers)

Yeah, it seems pretty clear that they knew the dragons were coming based on how the walkers reacted. They didn't even flinch, and their leader just calmly had a spear handed to him and took one of them out of the sky.

It also explains why they waited to attack until shortly before the dragons arrived. Surely they could have just chucked spears at Jon and his friends, but instead they waited patiently.

I'm gonna wait until after next episode to discuss this in more detail, but if you go back and watch the scene with Bran flying overhead, I'm pretty sure that he sees the NK and the Walkers standing on the very rock that the hunting party ended up on.

It seems pretty clear that the show-runners wanted you to know it was a trap. Or at least wanted to hint at it.

Anyone think Jon survived the cold water like Dany Survived fire and this was a baptism of sorts for him?

She got extra powers after that and learned her purpose, maybe he will as well.

You don't live after being dunked in ice water like that unless you are immediately saved and blankets etc. He was talking and rode a horse fine.

I mean the dude has also died and come back to life once, so it's not like we're talking about real life here.

Haha yeah I know. I meant it symbolically. Like he needed it to be Ice and fire. He is still wishy washy and Dany was like that before she was burned. After she knew how to get what she wanted

Who is going to die and who is going to bang?

Well we know who is going to bang... unfortunately the latest incestuous romance everybody is rooting for, isn't the most convincing romance in the world...but oh well, we all know they have to have it.

I actually have liked it quite a bit.

I saw a post that they've actually had more screen time to this point than Ygritte and Jon did before they fucked in a cave. It's just that those two met in season 2 and got it on in season 3.

Yeah, I don't know. I'm just not feeling it. Solid acting by Clarke in that scene with her and Jon last week but it felt forced, at the same time.

It's also gonna be hella awkward when Bran or whoever drops the bombshell on Jon that they're related.

I wouldn't be surprised if we somehow never get there.

Not predicting that. I have no idea.

Man people are talking about potential reunions, there is only one I want.

Bran and Jaime. That's it. I think it could be extraordinarily powerful if done well.

Tyrion and Jamie????? You're talking about Tyrion and Jamie.. right?

Man I didn't catch this before, but Euron's ship has a red eye in the middle of the Kraken. At minimum, it's a nod to his patch covered eye in the books, even though he doesn't have one in the show, and the standard that he uses. At maximum, it means they still might do something crazy with him. Probably just a nod to book readers though. "hey, we aren't giving you the super bad mother fucker in the books, but we know he exists!"

 

[Kouki]

A lot of these "why did they have chains, why did they not kill them, why did he wait..." Are explained if you believe, as I have for a long time, that he's either like Bran, a greenseer, or the visions in the fires have been to help him out from someone on the outside.

Aka, he knew the dragons were coming.

I have heard this of course, and I believe it....The one thing that doesn't really fit with that though, is the fact that the wights attacked when the Hound threw the rock. Of course you could just say its a coincidence.

Still don't get why he's patchless in the show.

Didn't have the balls/time to make him into a secondary, true villian. A Saruman to the Walkers Sauron, if you will. Which is what I'm sure his end-game in the books will be.

That eye represented his magical nature. They just don't wanna go that direction with him it seems.

Now, here's hoping they blow my doors off in season 8 and prove me wrong.
