Game of Thrones - HBO Season VI Thread - No Book Discussion OR Spoilers!

[BigDawg69]

In the show? I am inclined to think not many, but you never know. The fact that Bran was able to speak to young Ned last night can be VERY significant.

Or it wont be. Who knows lol.

the show killed off all the potential interesting twists and plot lines

dorne is dead
sansa and LF plotline is dead
northern conspiracy is dead
mance rayder is dead
young griff doesn't exist
no stoneheart


at least we get god-mode ramsay, bad puzzy, and danny saying her meaningless titles 3 times an episode

These were the leaders of the assassination. And Olly bc he was a kunt and did the killing blow.

so there's another 2-3 people that stabbed jon still in castle black and another ~10 that were perfectly okay with it happening. lol wut.

[MattyMiscer]

The Hound is good but I don't see him beating beating Gregorstein.

Y'all do remember the hound fought the mountain in season 1, right? Mountain tried to kill Ser Loras after that ******* rode a mare that was in heat to win the Tourney of the Hand.







It's also interesting to see the Hound bow to Robert Baratheon. He actually respected him.

[2RDEYE]

i wonder why they fuked with loras' hair. he looked much better back then

[Who?]

Episode 7 officially titled "The Broken Man"

Cleganbowl confirmed.

omg please include the broken man speech, would be epic if they just included that entire passage

[Kiwikind]

Hound still alive is all but confirmed with that dialogue between the waif and Arya. Can't wait for the 'bowl. Hound is my favourite character, I just hope he wins.

brahs, not sure if posted but HO LEE FUK (Strong post to username correlation)

Spoiler!

Lyanna gave birth to twins in the Tower of Joy, one being Jon Snow the other being Meera, the girl who has accompanied Bran north of the wall. Her 'father' is Howland Reed, the only other survivor at the Tower of joy.

To further compound this, Meera had a brother, who died at the end of Season 4 getting Bran to his destination, we know that this universe uses hair colour to define lineage and her brother had brown hair whilst she has black hair like Jon.

Glad I'm not the only one who finds her hot as fukk ...... People look at me like I'm retarded when I say this girl is a lot hotter than that red headed gremlim Ygiritte Jon Snow was fukkin.

[Bar182]

Littlefinger > Varys.

Lol at thinking Littlefinger is solely reliant on the Lannisters and the Tyrells. LF is always in a Xanatos gambit scenario. Either way he wins.

Hes currently schemed himself to lord of the Vale. He made the play with Sansa which gains the favour of the Boltons yet at the sametime telling the Lannisters he will march north and take winterfell if Cersei makes him Warden of the north.

Either way Littlefinger is going to unite the Vale and the North. This also happened at the start of the rebellion and look how that ended up.

Doesn't he also own Harrenhall? I seem to remember that might have been taken from him for though.

Would breed her and make Cuckwell Tarly watch.

Little finger is almost flaunting his power, Varys is doing a lot of the "game" behind the scenes, and we really still don't know his motive. Not disagreeing with you just sayin

Dude, I can't even rep you any more. Completely forgot about them going at it so long ago. Then to add some more backstory to it didn't the Hound tell Arya about how the Mountain is the one who scarred his face? Hound gets his revenge?

[Kiwikind]

It's all very poetic. Hound isn't an evil sort, he's just had to do evil things on command. You saw that in this week's episode, when the waif quizzed Arya on why she took Sandor's name of her little list. You can tell there was a bond made there. It was really rewarding to watch back in Season 4, one of the best things about the whole show in my view.

Sandor - scarred by fire.
Gregor - reanimated, effectively a wight
Wights - only susceptible to fire
Sandor - to overcome his brother, he has to overcome his one fear, that being fire.

Poetic. Perfect.

Someone posted that pic of here of Rickons Direwolf ... Shaggydog is supposed to be goldenbrown/white isnt he? Why the hell do they show a black head.. That looks more like Robb's wolf.


Also I thought each Direwolf was supposed to have a significance to the Stark Children -



Sansa's Dog - Killed (Showing how Sansa is cut off from the Stark lineage or something because she has to marry someone from the outside)
Arya's Dog - Lost (She sends it away) kind of how Arya gets lost for a long time during the seasons and "runs away".
Robbs Stark - Dead like him.



If that is Rickons Direwolf that has been killed, are we free to assume that then Rickon will be killed as well? If anything it would set further concrete Jon to takeover the North and oust Ramsay.

[SazabiBrah]

I know this has been answered already, but now that the show is past the books, who's creating the story? Is it solely the producers or does George have any input?

I have a feeling that Ramsay is being played by the Umbers. It's risky but I believe they have taken a calculated risk to hand Ramsay Osha and Rickon, pretend they killed Shaggydog to win his trust, and will then strike when he leasts expects it.

Or...we could just see Rickon and Osha flayed and burned in a future episode, who knows.

[I3igAl]

The Hound is good but I don't see him beating beating Gregorstein.

He is in general considered the better fighter of the two.
However Since Mountainzombies properties are quite unknown we cannot know for shure.

[Jagd24]

Shaggy dog is black and was always the most wild, almost untamable dire wolf.

[Jagd24]

I know this has been answered already, but now that the show is past the books, who's creating the story? Is it solely the producers or does George have any input?

George told them how he wanted it to end and I think they are molding their own story into it. I don't have the source I just remember reading this.

[KingKringe]

the direwolf's head seemed so small, ramsay dun goofd, even if it wasn't how is it any proof it's actually rickon stark?

[juvefan]

Ep 7 titled "the broken man" meaning benjen stark finally makes it back to castle black

[MajesticLion]

Seems to me like the Rickon gambit is the more palatable substitute for Manderly playing the baker.

Which is strange considering the incest/rape/everything-else-goes approach taken thus far.
