Lucius Lovejoy Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I haven't kept track of the opening scenes season by season so there may be a pattern, but out of curiousity what does everyone think the opening scene will be? Please use spoilers if you actually know. My guess is it opens with Jon Snow in Winterfell taking care of some routine business with Davos before being interrupted by Sansa or Littlefinger with some new information.

DarkBastard Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I think it will be Drogon landing to roost on the battlements of Dragonstone, followed closely by the people currently residing in Dragonstone collectively shitting their pants (and then opening the gates for their new Queen).

WalkinDude Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I'm going to guess Cersei and Jamie discussing the events that have transpired over the past few weeks, setting up the coming conflicts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philpenn Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I'd put my money on what DarkBastard guessed. They already wasted the what could have been a very suspenseful moment by putting it in the trailer. Why not just get right to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking on this is that Dany and the dragons getting to Dragonstone will end the episode and that we'll have conversations between Jon/Davos, Sansa/Littlefinger, and Cersei/Jaime discussing the reports of her and the dragons. Imagine a line from Cersei like "my bumbling fool of a husband should have had her killed when he had the chance" and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigUpHerBones Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 flashback of Dany's birth on DS in a dreamlike sequence to have her open her eyes on a ship, looking at the shoreline and castle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Tam Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 What is more appropriate or less appropriate for an opening scene? I would rule out a conversation (a Cersei/Jamie talk seems imminent, but not as an o.s.), as well as an immediate battle/combat. The beginning should rather be calm (like Jaime bringing back Myrcellas body) and/or slowly building up tension like Cersei's flashback with Maggie the Frog. a) A house in Essos. A healer and his household. A hooded man visiting him - and finally its Jorah in a considerably worsened condition. On the other hand: He is not a major player, so why waste the o.s. on him? b ) The night king - after having killed a last few wildings still in the North - climbs a crest and looks around, and as we see what he sees the Wall is in sighting distance (which still could be many many miles, depending on the crests height). c) I really like the idea with the flashback of Dany's birth.

Back in Black-Snow Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Army of the dead approaching the wall. We'll get a good view of it. Cut to Bran coming out of a vision. Meera says they have arrived at Castle Black. Opening Credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in Black-Snow Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Apparently it is the slaughter of the Freys by Faceless Arya, according to some who watched the premier last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonSnowed Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 There will be a cold open, which few will predict according to what I read. Also someone will drop a line about leaving a single stark alive is like leaving one wolf to guard the sheep, and you are the sheep or something similar. Bran and Meera will reach the wall also and the Nightswatch will let them in, apparently Bran will be out of it but freak out as he foresees the fall of the wall.

The Sunland Lord Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I think Arya killing rest of the Freys. Would be something people expect less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Wolf Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I'm not going to post any spoilers because to some degree I know what the first scene will be. I will say that it will be a scene before the opening credits similar to the very first scene of the series with the rangers north of the wall encountering the ww, or like the beginning of two swords where we see tywin having Ice melted down and being reforged.

Rain on Wednesday Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 OPENING SCENE: Setting: The broken tower of Winterfell. We zoom in from the same window Bran fell from, and we see Tormund in the background, naked (not full frontal, but elegantly covering his manhood with his beard) on some furs, lounging on his back, his elbow bent, propping up his head. In the foreground, we see Brienne hastily buckling her armor back on, saying that this was a huge mistake, and that he caught her in a moment of weakness after the events of Rivverun. He laughs at her as she runs out of the tower and slams the door behind her. She looks at Oathkeeper, and as a single tear runs down her cheek, she whispers, "Jaime...." Then we hear Tormund call through the door, "Bitch! Bring me a sandwich and some Direwolf Ale!" She flushes beet red and runs down the steps as quickly as possible. Then we cut to.... Dany walking on the beach of Dragonstone. Dum dum da da dum dum da da da..... Seriously, who WOULDN'T want to see that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
