[Book + Show Spoilers] Synopsis, Promo, Recap and Speculation


Recommended Posts

I'm glad "Only Cat" is coming. 1. I've been telling everyone how much shit was going to go down this season and I think they no longer believe me and this would be a nice precursor to the shitstorm that is about to roll in and 2. I would imagine that with so many people being set on different paths for next season it would be an interesting shot to see Sansa lying to the Lord Declarants (and siding with Littlefinger in a way) in the final episode just as we have Arya heading to Braavos, Jon coming into his own at the wall and Bran meeting Bloodraven.

Couple that with Tyrion escaping, maybe Balon finally falling off that damn bridge, Ramsey being legitimized and we have a nice montage of the changing directions of the show.

Plus the LSH reveal :)

This is a good way of looking at it; the start of the shitstorm (also a good spot for a 2-week break). I listened to a podcast earlier where someone mentioned that we're going to be losing a well-known character every episode from here through the finale. I think Lysa is a great way to kick it off.

Oh yeah, almost forgot about that! If it's Oberyn, we'll all vomit along with Tyrion.

How legit is this? Do we buy it--I thought it was pretty widely known that Emilia refused any more nudity?

That is utter bullshit. It is a actress in the show, but certainly not Emilia. They just specualte it's her because "she was naked a lot in season 1 and she isn't anymore" which is bullshit. What would she do, fuck the ground? They only just introduced Daario as a love interest, and only now they have the opportunity for more naked Dany. That bath scene in season 3 is proof that Emilia isn't the one in question. I am actually pretty sure that the named actress is Sibel Kekilly- she plays a character that's all about sex and bared her breasts only in season 1. And it would make sense for her since she's probably trying to escape her porn background.

Any idea if/when we get the Tommen/Marge wedding. I guess it might just happen off-screen for budgetary purposes Also Loras/Cersei was proposed ages ago so it is time to get a resolution to it. I know that Cersei is currently preoccupied but still would be nice to see that storyline concluded during this season.

I don't see how, though. Cersei said "in a fortnight" to Tywin, and I'm pretty sure everything through Tywin's death will be in that time-frame. Which means Marg/Tommen will likely be married off-screen in between the seasons and Cersei will cancel her marriage to Loras.

I'm pretty sure Tywin will just die before it happens. Then Loras will come to Cersei "so wifey, when we gettin' mawied?" and she'll bitchslap him say "fuck off, you pillowbiter".

Wouldnt surprise me to have the wedding in 7 or 8. Doesnt need to be a very long scene. Just show the ceremony in the sept and some people congratulating Tommen and Marge after that. Enough said, done in three minutes.

^ When everybody talks about Cat, they're talking about 'only Cat', Littlefinger's words about who he loves, as he shoves Lysa out the moon door. Usually, when talking about Catelyn as Lady Stoneheart, its abbreviated 'LS.' Two different scenes.



Welcome to the boards! :cheers:

Luckily, the Lannisters are running out of money so it makes sense to make it cheap from a production standpoint. Tywin already said it would be low key.

The Only Cat being in Ep 7 makes sense. It reminds people of Catelyn, so when they see LSH, they will be even more amazed.



For the Arya/Hound story, I see it that way :



Ep 7 : gift of mercy scene


Ep 8 : big fight, The Hound gets injured and Arya leaves him


Ep 10 : she embarks for Braavos

So, we will have major deaths every episode for the rest of the season.



- Lysa.


- Oberyn.


- Ygritte + others.


- Tywin.



Well, the end of the season is gonna rock !



And episode 7 and 8 seems really heavy in terms of different storylines. For episode 7 we should be getting :


- King's Landing.


- The Eyrie.


- The Wall.


- Brienne and Pod.


- Arya and the Hound.


- Dragonstone.


- Meereen.



That's a lot !

What do we think the clue is Brienne finds this ep? What if she hears of Brotherhood killing the Freys and figures they are doing it for a Stark and assumes they have one of the girls and decides to persue them?



It would be awesome to get another BwB mention this ep (apart from Arya's kill list)

^I hate to be the guy that always takes this thread in this direction. And I am sadly. Time and again. But I think Oona was referring to Esme Bianco.

As for the context of the expected scene in episode eight, Nathalie Emmanuel and some extras filmed scenes in a Croatian river. I think this will be the lead up to the scene where Drogon kills someone. We'll see a pastoral scene of some girls in the river and then we'll see Hazzea gobbled up.

We don't object to humans being eaten alive as long as,God forbid,there are no nipples.

I assume the trial by combat has put that on hold, and they'll plan to execute Tyrion before the wedding(s) take place.

Nah, it's Ygritte. It's got to be.

I'm still quite confident that they're changing Oberyn's death to split in half.

The one I keep hearing is that Gregor Clegane the Mountain raped Elia and split her in half with his greatsword.

I don't recall that from the books, so they wouldn't put that in without good reason

Why does it have to be Ygritte?

That line about splitting her in half was there to indicate the horrific way in which she died. Oberyn's death is horrifying and I dare say the way in which he dies is a big factor in the shock - it's not something as 'simple' as being killed with a sword.
