HBO's Game of Thrones

[DinoDB1975]

This might happen.

Spoiler

Who is next in line to be King/Queen if Tommen does die?

I have no idea, but

Spoiler

Gendry would probably have the biggest claim but would require him being legitimized by...Tommen, Quite a Catch 22.

Interesting that Wun Wun is played by Ian White, who was the second actor (and least imposing, IMO) to portray the Mountain.

Though readers know there are a few more, Longclaw, Oathkeeper, and Heartsbane are the three Valyrian steel swords that have been introduced in the TV series so far (whatever happened to the Valyrian steel dagger that Bran's would be assassin had?).

They should melt them done and forge a huge two handed sword for Wun Wun . Or a bunch of arrow heads (although I guess they can use dragonglass for that).

Apparently this is old, but it's new to me, maybe it's new to you. Prior to publishing the first book, GRRM sent a letter to his publisher, informing them of his plans for the series, and hits the major points, some interesting things were revealed

Originally there were only three books, A Game of Thrones, about the clash between Stark and Lannister, A Dance With Dragons, about Dany and the Dothraki, and The Winds of Winter, about the Others extinguishing all life.

Winterfell still ends up burned, this time by Tyrion

The plot would have seen Catelyn fleeing north to the Wall after Winterfell is burned, with Bran and Arya, but Jon and Benjen reject them because the Night's Watch has no ties to family. Ultimately Catelyn continues further north and joins Mance Rayder. Catelyn still ends up dead, this time by the Others.

Sansa would have bore Joffrey's child and chosen to remain loyal to him and their child, in the fight between Lannister and Stark.

Tyrion would have removed Joffrey from the throne, Jaime would have taken the throne, after killing everyone else in line of succession, and blame Tyrion for the murders. Tyrion would be exiled, join the Starks, and ultimately there would have been a love triangle between Jon, Arya and Tyrion.

Dany's plot is more or less still intact, except she kills Khal Drogo in response to him killing her brother.

You can read the whole thing here

Spoiler

He lists five characters that will survive the entire story, Tyrion, Dany, Arya, Bran and Jon Snow.

R+L = J is given even further confirmation, as plot would have seen Arya and Jon fall in love at the Wall, but because of the Night's Watch celibacy and the whole half-brother thing, they don't, " . . . until Jon's true parentage is revealed in the final book"

Aye, I remember that, GRRM had very different plans for his characters back then.

I'm so hyped about tonight's episode it'll be awesome!

[greygoose]

This is the most hyped I've been for a GoT episode. Feels like I've been waiting for a movie to come out. Hope it delivers...

That's awesome Adolfo! Depending on your location I highly recommend you to get HBO Now. I wish it was available in my country, I only have HBO Go which comes with my cable service and it's awesome, you can catch all the new episodes there, HBO and UFC Network are the only reasons I still pay for the damn thing.

Me too. I had the Season 1 box set bought for me recently....and I now love this show!! I had to go and buy the other box sets!! Don't know what took me so long to get into it, everyone at work said I should watch it (and would like it) and now I know why!

 

[DinoDB1975]

Two more wights have joined the Night's Army!

 

[Deeznutz6]

**** yeah

Great Father's Day...

 

[NAZGUL-KING]

Holy **** ! Most insane episode yet.

 

[Commander Cody]

Just amazing. So emotionally drained.

 

[EVILFACE]

Ramsey went out as expected. And it was dog gone good.

Seriously thought John was a goner when things started piling up....

Red Beard was also a badass.

Was expecting the Masters people outside hacking people would be melted by dragons, not decapitated by barbarians.

 

[jimcap]

WOW!!! Did not disappoint. We watch the whole episode on our feet.

 

[Ropen]

I don't think any other episode after this will topple this one.

 

[jedijim3002]

Great episode! What I've been waiting for all season!

 

[rushmore223]

HO-LY ****!

Need to combine with to adequately explain my feelings!

That had to be one of the best battles ever shown on TV or movie screen.

Started Strong with Dany, ended 100x stronger with the Battle of the *******s. Don't know how HBO could possibly top this one.

So sad to see Wun Wun gone and knew Ramsey's fate would be tied to his dogs!

What a brutal episode.

 

[SwedishHeat]

WOW!!! Did not disappoint. We watch the whole episode on our feet.

Yup, I was up on my feet once Jon started getting buried and was up for the duration.

Not unexpected, the director of this one also did Hardhome last year and is doing the finale next week. I have no idea what's happening next week, probably Cersei's trial. We got hit over the head with it again this week, that King's Landing is full of wildfire, certainly she will take advantage of it.

Would be quite ironic if Cersei leveled King's Landing, and Dany arrives to see that her "kingdom" has already been burned to the ground. It would get all armies in one spot only to have the White Walkers show up and have one epic battle for mankind in Westeros.

 

[A Jedi Warrior]

Such an Amazing Episode, My new Favorite and Beautifully shot. Really one of the best battles in a movie or on cable TV Ive seen. watched twice now and loved every minute.

 

[Mr. Green]

Such awesomeness. Live by the sword, die by the sword, eh, Ramsey? Or is it by dogs, giggles.

 

[Medusoid]

Great episode. I knew what was going to happen, but I still loved every minute of it.
