Also, I somehow don't think the Cersei walk will induce quite as much "mad feminism" as the Sansa thing did (well, maybe it will, we shall see). But yeah, the finale will be epic as hell for sure. I don't even know how this will all fit into one episode. I hope they won't cut the Stannis battle too short, but if done decently, that alone should take at least 15 minutes, unless somehow Stannis' army is seriously butchered. Ahh I didn't read the IMDB for it, but it would make sense for it to happen with the build up this season, just didn't think they'd be able to fit all of it in one episode properly. | ||

Going to be a lot of mad feminists after this season lol. Sansa rape+Shireen burning+Cersei walk and Arya getting blinded. They were already pissed and with all these bad things happening to women I expect a fuck ton of back lash incoming. They wouldn't have built up Olly questioning Jon so much this season if they're not going to Caesar him in episode 10. Casual viewers have a too short a memory for this to carry over to another season. | ||

I don't see the Battle of Winterfell happening at all. They'll probably just set it up and have it start next season, just like it will start tWoW. | ||

Season 4 Episode 10 was definitely not extended, and I think others weren't either. Some major events do tend to happen in the finales, but not this many. It may be doable if they execute properly and maybe add some extra time, but I definitely have my fears. | ||

Stannis is outside Winterfell with 3000 men, his siege weapons burnt, no food, and winter is coming. He sacrificed Shireen for some nice weather? The northern lords could rally to him and together they could make something happen. But again - Roose is at an insane advantage. Unless he gets something else from the red god other than melting snow, you can put a fork in Stannis because he's done. he is attacking because there are no other options. not enough provisions to go back so they die, only way to survive is to take winterfell or die trying. as for the reason of attacking winterfell from the wall, stannis said winter is coming and if they dont move now they'll be stuck at the wall for years. | ||

I mean Reek revealed to Sansa last episode that Bran and Rickon arent dead. Somebody said Bran and Hodor wont appear this season but does somebody know about Rickon? I think it would make sense, when Stannis is in such a bad position! At least its a way out, it would seem like a miracle, but then Shireen's sacrifice doesnt seem so meaningless. Otherwise there will have to be some cliffhangers, not everything will be resolved. On June 09 2015 05:26 HerrHorst wrote: Has Stannis really only 3000 Men? Wasn't there talk by Bolton that he cannot attack Stannis because he is so superior? They said the weather is too bad to march an army against him. | ||

Spending the whole winter at the Wall would lose him the war. On June 09 2015 05:26 HerrHorst wrote: Wasn't there talk by Bolton that he cannot attack Stannis because he is so superior? Bolton said they have no reason to leave Winterfell because it gives them a defensive advantage, not because they can't fight Stannis in the open | ||

First of all it can't happen. Mel is at CB, Shireen is at Eastwatch* (correction), and Stannis is at Winterfell. End. ...but there is more. Book Stannis is the founding member of the "Mel is just a charlatan" club. He is using her, she is using him, they both know it and per Mel have known it all along. He wouldn't make a giant compromise for her. He doesn't think he is some kind of prince who was promised who has to be the one to win this. He even made some preparations to the effect of ensuring that the war could go on without him with the intent of placing Shireen on the throne. If she burns it will be under very different circumstances to the point that the comparison between the events is pointless. It might as well be a different character. TWOW + Show Spoiler + The thing it might map to is the threatened burning of Asha, but I think he might need her to prove Theon's identity and nullify the kingsmoot. That is his best weapon to handle the Iron Islands right now. On June 08 2015 22:01 GumBa wrote: TV Stannis was never Book stannis so idc. At this point LF should just win it all. Yes! Bring on the converts! There is always more room for supporters of the king over the ashes. | ||

As far as I've heard, there haven't been any kind of spoilers about the shooting/making of a second major battle scene this season. | ||

I vaguely remember ravens getting sent out across the kingdom when the Night's Watch got destroyed by a zombie army, but did they ever expand on that? | ||

I vaguely remember ravens getting sent out across the kingdom when the Night's Watch got destroyed by a zombie army, but did they ever expand on that? It was a pretty quick scene, Sam returned to the wall with Gilly and explained the situation to Maester Aemon. He was like "SEND RAVENS TO EVERYONE". Ser Davos got one of those messages and convinced Stannis that he is needed at the Wall. Took like 5 minutes of screentime :D | ||

Stannis wasn't listening to Davos, and only changed his mind when Melisandre said Davos was right. | ||
