[Book Spoilers] Pre-air Discussion

Don't forget that Davos is gonna go from Blackwater to being thrown into Dragonstone cell all in this episode.

[Gaius Martell]

I feel like they are gonna stretch out the Winterfell/ Theon arc as long as they can, to keep giving Alfie screen time until he comes back for whichever season will be in. Just like Nikolaj showed up in like 4 scenes this season, Alfie will probably get a scene or two with Ramsay flaying him in the dungeon under the Dreadfort two seasons from now, if they can draw out Ramsay/ Theon for at least one episode next season.

Not so sure they're going to show Davos imprisoned just yet. It's at the beginning of A Storm of Swords that we find him on the spears hallucinating. I think a shot of him just laying there with no impending hope of rescue would be a great cliffhanger. Of course, so would his imprisonment, so I could see them going either way.

I have watched Theon say "WHAT IS DEAD MAY NEVER DIEE!!" and Jorah saying "KHAALEEESSSIII" about a billion times. I love it! Can't wait for sunday!

[Maester Murks]

For those interested, there's a list of new characters for next season available here. I think we can easily say that our beloved Luwin will die next sunday.

Nice to know that the Reeds and Queen of Thorns are confirmed. I keep my fingers crossed for Belwas :box:

No Ramsay ? Does that mean he already appears in this season (ep 10) or that they just didn't felt like listing him.

Anyway....what a relief, the Reed's are in. And I wasn't expecting Olenna Redwyne to appear in the show, I was expecting Margery to cover her part.

They can easily extend Theon's arc in season 3 and 4. They can add the Theon to Reek transformation in season 3, ending with his escape from the bastard with Kyra (?). And yeah, he'll get caught again in season 4 and they can continue the flaying, and a little bit of ADWD in the end of season 4.

It did say that not all the characters introduced in Season 3 were listed, so Ramsay might still appear.

[BlackTalon]

OTOH it would be perfectly sufficient to have some nameless dude in flayed-corpse armour with the visor down walk up to Theon and knock him out ... might even be more badass than showing his face.

[Apoapsis]

Crap, Daario is on that list.

On the other hand; the Reeds, Edmure, the Blackfish, Shireen!

Ramsay has to be one of the "few others", they can't very well skip him now that they've been talking about him for half a season.

[Harrad]

Alfie will probably get a scene or two with Ramsay flaying him in the dungeon under the Dreadfort.

A scene or two? I heard there is a whole 2 hour flaying episode. It will put the Saw series to shame.

they've said asos will be spread out between season 3 & 4 so they likely won't touch much material from adwd until the end of season 5, or even season 6; if they decide to make affc two seasons as well.

[The Frostfangs]

I like the idea of having Theons escape a capture in a more recent series just so we can see Alfie Allen instead of him just telling us about it in DWD

[SerMixalot]

• NO STRONG BELLY!!!!!!!! AAARRRGGHHHH
  
  I WILL PLAY HIM FOR FREE!

I read someone's comment over at WiC that convinced me that the Dagmer=Ramsey theory is actually true. Dagmer looking the same age as Roose doesn't matter, because Ramsey is literally wearing Dagmer's face. It all makes sense now. So, Jagen wont be the only person changing its face next episode.

[moonsblood]

I just don't buy the Dagmar=Ramsay thing, why would Ramsay be on Pyke, how would he know that Theon would turn against the Starks, and why does Roose think he's at the Dreadfort?

This could either be really cool and scary or really cheesy depending on how they do it (are you sure this is true?).

[Warden of the North121]

One line in Blackwater that I thought was really funny even though it was in a tense situation:

Mathos:"We've caught them by surprise!"

Davos:"Lord Varys knows what you ate for breakfast three days ago, there are no surprises here!"
