Episode 6 Preview

[CandleWisps]

Tyrion will go to the same dark places he went to in the books. I guess they'll play up his being a victim as the factor that triggers his descent, but he'll still go there. One of the trailers showed a glimpse of Shae in a certain bed. So he will go there. And it'll make him look even worse because their relationship is much more loving in show canon.

As for Dany she's done very nasty things already but I think people still admire her because they see her as a victim who gained agency. And so on. Her blunders will become apparent next episode though. She should have listened to Barry. Why else do you all think that they showed the crucifying of the Masters in the episode's recap? The blowback begins tomorrow.

Eagerly waiting on the couch with ice cream for the blowback :cool4:

The problem is some of you talk to the wrong people. There are plenty of 'good fans' that know that Arya's turn to the dark side is troubling and that Dany is not all flowers and ponies. they get it.

There will ALWAYS BE TONS of viewers for these types of shows that don't get the deeper themes, they just like the action. These are the same people who thought Walter White and Tony Soprano were badass good guys. The 'bad fans'. These people think Dany nailing people up is awesome and haven't considered that maybe she's got some crazy to her.

The guy who play Gregor posted a photo on http://instagram.com/p/n2QYQ0gLr5/ confirming that he´s in the next episode!

[Konradsmith]

^That photo's been out for some time and is from a scene that was shot for episode seven. But maybe they switched it into episode six. Both were directed by Alik Sakharov after all so it's no impossible.

But then again Halfthor could be misinformed. We shall see.

[HairGrowsBack]

It would be nice if it were the case ; it would feel less contrived imo.

[Beric175]

bronn probably showed up too late to get Shae and saw the lannister men taker her with them and decided not to tell Tyrion, which is a betrayal of a different sort and Tyrion will hold it against him in any case, or at least that's how I'd play it. Tyrion gets mad at Bronn for lying to him, Bronn decides he's done serving Tyrion and decides not to fight for him because at this point he sees no reason to and there you go. Everything ready for Oberyn to come in and propose his bargain in episode 7.

[SM4e]

How I think different issues will work out:

- Stannis gets refused by the Iron Bank

- Davos goes to find Sallador Saan and ask him for men and ships and Salla agrees [salla is chilling out with Lhara and the other two cast models/porn actresses)

- Season 5: Cersei does not want the Tyrells to receive too much power and therefore tells the Iron Bank to fuck off; Tycho goes to Castle Black and then to Stannis near Winterfell

- Yara will fail to rescue Theon and go to Moat Cailin where she receives news of Balon's death (which is happening this episode?)

- we hear Hizdar for the first time, then Hazzea's father

- I don't really see where The Mountain fits in today; maybe they will actually end the episode with Tyrion demanding trial by combat and Cersei presenting her champion

[tyrell19]

I don't know why but I have a sneaky feeling that Tycho will refuse them and point Stannis in the direction of someone who has also come to them for help but at this time they can't due to the Lannisters still paying them. I think this Lord will the Greatjon who wants vengeance for the Red Wedding and will align himself with Stannis for now.

[Beric175]

naa, we'll probably get a scene with the Mountain at the beginning of the episode killing peasants, with Cersei watching from the battlements so we get a visual indication of what awaits tyrion if he gets convicted. Then at the end, he demands trial by combat and we're left to ponder who his defender will be until Oberyn announces it at the end of next episode.

[Guard of the Rainking]

According to Game of Thrones wiki Stannis appears in episode 7. There is no link, and I haven't heard about it anywhere else. We do know that Tycho appears in only one episode, so I guess that the refusal will be in episode 6. We still haven't seen the Melisandre bath scene or the rumored Davos with ladies scene (BTW where did this rumor come from?) so that's a lot of Stannis stuff in one episode that also includes the attack on the Dreadfort, Tyrion's trial, a lot of KL scenes, Drogon hunting and Dany receiving the "leftovers". Also Braavos is a new location so I think they might want to show it a little more. In short:

Episode 6: Arrival at Braavos and IB refusal.

Episode 7: Stannis makes up his mind on where to sail.

I don't know why but I have a sneaky feeling that Tycho will refuse them and point Stannis in the direction of someone who has also come to them for help but at this time they can't due to the Lannisters still paying them. I think this Lord will the Greatjon who wants vengeance for the Red Wedding and will align himself with Stannis for now.

I dont know where people are getting these theories from, but seems really pointless of including this trip/scene for him to go all that way and get refused. Just because he asks for gold to buy sellswords doesnt mean he is going to get 10 000 men, he will probably only get like 5000 men or so. During an interview with Liam he implied that Stannis has virtually no army and in the scenes so far it has been mentioned that they have virtually nothing.

Plus in the series Tywin has mentioned that CL has had no gold for this and last year mined, and implying that they are broke and the IT cannot pay the IB. So this could end up the IB giving Stannis a loan. Also they want to make it a surprise at the wall, if he has nothing where else is he going to go?wasted trip to Braavos and sulk on DS?No I dont think so.

Plus just because he gets a few thousand sellswords does not diminish the victory at CB. They have also implied that the Wildlings have a much greater host of a 100 000 men, I know in the books it included women and children and so forth, but the unsullied dont take that into account, they just hear 100 000 men meaning all are soldiers.

While this is true, and there will always be that kind of people (not only in the show viewers, go to the general section and see how many members defend every action Dany does as she could do no wrong), you can't really deny the show has made everything it could to not show the consequences of her actions, it's like they go from badass speech, to badass fight, to badass victory glance, and then badass speech again...

[Guard of the Rainking]

I don't think GoT wiki is a reliable source...I don't think they'll show him making up his mind - the whole point of the way his story is handled this season is to maximize the surprise factor in ep. 9.

I dunno. The Melisandre bath scene is causing me to speculate.

[Guard of the Rainking]

But what does her scene has to do with Stannis? She is in Dragonstone, he's not.

So were still going to have Dragonstone scenes? Are we sure that scenes on Dragonstone and not on a ship?

[franko99]

I think that Stannis at the bank and Davos and the ladies are tonight. I don't think Mel goes with them - she wouldn't be having a bath and chillin' while at Braavos ^^

Ep. 7 will have Mel and Dragonstone, her in the bath, probably talking to Selyse or something.

Ep. 8 won't have any of Team Dragonstone to set up ep.9 to be more shocking

That's my guess, anyways

The problem is, did it took 3 episodes to go from Dragonstone to Braavos, but only 2 episodes to go from Dragonstone to the wall? I know the show took some liberties before (cough* littlefinger cough Melisandre cough*) but moving an entire fleet across half Westeros? I don't think so :dunno:

[franko99]

Well they'll be at their destination in ep. 9 and they're in Braavos in ep. 6. There's nothing they can really do about it now.

And we don't know when they actually left Dragonstone, since I assume we only see them arrive in Braavos.

Braavos is close to Eastwatch, I have no problem thinking they can go there in between episodes 6 and 9, but Dragonstone is really far away to believe Melisandre can leave after episode 7 and be there for the battle, that's what I'm saying, I don't think we're going to see Dragonstone again (as some users seems to suggest), the bath scene has to be either in Braavos or at a ship

Can't suspension of disbelief factor into it?

Well, of curse, if that's how it happen I'll have to take it, but I rather have a well constructed and coherent narrative when possible, thank you very much :P

Stumbled on this gem. Hilarious. Didn't know they were such goofs, gonna make tomorrow all the more worth seeing them finally doing something of substance.

so great. their hilarious together. isnt she actually a commedian?

[Colonel Green]

The problem is, did it took 3 episodes to go from Dragonstone to Braavos, but only 2 episodes to go from Dragonstone to the wall?

Episode 3 had Davos sending a message to Braavos, which they presumably then considered, and then sent a response, at which point Stannis would have debated whether to go or not. So it's not like it was a single journey spanned three episodes.
