Promo stuff

Isn't the above comment a spoiler? Why the fuck would you tell anyone about what is in next weeks promo? Some of us want to watch the show when it airs, so we avoid the previews. But of course someone don't have the patience and just have to spoil it for everyone. Why not got find a leaked episode synopsis and post that as well, because it is really fun to just spoil everyone...
Edit: I am talking about this post:

Yeah, seriously.
I think he's fairly attractive.

Sorry man, I put the proper tag on it now
I wonder what happened to Hodor and what transformed him. Maybe brain damage?
Also curious to see if Jon has changed personality wise as I think it was mentioned that Beric "didn't come back himself"

If you want to avoid stuff at all costs, it seems a rather stupid idea to read this thread in the first place, just saying..

Its is pure speculation. Most of what is going on in the thread going forward is going to be people speculating and trying to infer things from the previews.

I sort of agree. I am for not spoiling the episode the day it comes out and holding off for a little while so people can see it. But expecting people not to talk about a 30 second TV spot/preview is a bit much.

Damn I was so excited for the Sparrows to get butchered from the episode 2 promo. Now it turns out they're still the top dogs. Stupid unarmoured clubmen. The kingsguard is willing to fight the queenmother from leaving her tower but not the rabble priest chronies from taking over the kingdom and imprisoning the queen. I want the high sparrows head on a pike! Where is the mighty house Tyrell? Their knights should be by the gate right now for this insult to their leaders.
(I'm pretty sure just to spite me the sparrow cult will kill Daenerys, Tyrion and Jon Snow 2.0 and imprison the white walker king for raising the dead until he confesses QQ)
But they decided to murder interesting characters instead lol. I'm not sure what Roose was expecting from his sadistic cunt son but by making Ramsay obsolete he should've expected a violent response... Anyway the easyness with which high ranking figures get disposed of is becoming a bit silly. Nobody bats an eye. Well, I guess the ironborn were kind of upset.
The giant smashing the crossbow guy against the wall saved the episode though. And Tyrion the Dragonwhisperer! The dragons looked real scary, that shot where they show up from the darkness! Jon Snow back is also great of course, really interested to see what he does with Olly who killed both him and his girlfriend. 10/10 troll ending would be if he forgives Olly and then Olly stabs him in the back again and Snow ends up real dead.

Imho they are killing off people at this rate to have a few less characters to cover.
Which makes sense.
|
Yeah, and they should too, it feels to me like they're still miles away from any coherent (and global) ending and there's less and 2 seasons to go? Or less than 3 seasons? Dany is still ages away from Westeros, White Walkers are still chilling up north. Bran and Arya haven't begun to use their powers...plenty or storylines to finish still...
|
what happened to granny tyrell? I some what remember her being at the meeting where loras and margery got imprisoned from the trail thing, and something about her and the high sparrow talking. What happened to her, did she actually go back to high garden to get troops? (didnt the sparrow say something about the poor people everywhere including high garden and using it as a threat)

Not a big fan of resurrecting John Snow. Feels cheap and done only because he's a fan favorite.
I dunno, at this point the show isn't surprising me anymore and that's what I liked about it. Unconventional stories that are bold about stuff.
I don't see how bringing Jon back to life is a "cheap" decision. If Jon stayed dead, that would kinda put an end to the Wildling storyline, like "Oh, he brought them south of The Wall, but now he's dead. What do we do with these Wildlings now? Just have them fight everyone?" He's the only one with enough ties with the Wildlings and the rest of the world to bridge the gap between the two.

i hope they feed Olly to Ghost or the Giant at least

I heard there will be 2 more seasons after this one, but only 15 episodes between the 2 of them?
I'm a bit pissed they made that decision tbh. This season episodes are suddenly only 50 minutes. They could've gone with 2 seasons and stayed with 1-hour episodes, but hey money.
Either way, I feel like Jon is reaching his 'endgame' so to speak. He has his army now, I guess they'll make him go to winterfell as a bit of filler before he does whatever he is destined to do >.>
Bran has started using his powers already right? It's just seeing the past. Not sure how/when he will rejoin the main characters though.
As for Arya/Dany, I also don't see how they will get to Westeros anytime soon.
So much shit still unresolved :O
And where is Sam?

I have the vague feeling Littlefinger is going to fuck everyone in the end

I dunno, at this point the show isn't surprising me anymore and that's what I liked about it. Unconventional stories that are bold about stuff. They are closing in on the end, and believe it or not, there is actually several deep and intriguing stories slowly getting tied together here. If you think Jon Snow got resurrected for shits and giggles you should pay more attention to details in conversations! Jon Snow is special.
And now please tell me you get this from solely watching the show and not reading the book or internet posts made by people reading the book. The same goes for the guy saying that we should hear more about Jon's father. Or the people talking about Jon being supposed to survive the flames.
I just don't think that there is enough information in the show to get to the "obvious" conclusion. However it is beaten around so much that it is essentially inevitable to hear - heck, the first person to spoil it to me was my bloody wife and I am still a little angry with her because of it.

Let's say the Sparrows situation in King's Landing escalates and King Tommen dies. Who would succeed him? He's the last Baratheon and there is no obvious heir. His queen, Margaery? The Queen Mother, Cersei? His male next of kin, his "uncle" Jamie? Or since as a Kingsguard, Jamie forfeited his claims, would it be Tommen's second oldest uncle, Tyrion? Or with Tyrion being a convicted murderer, perhaps even Kevan Lannister?

Suddenly it was a great episode overall!
I already thought that Balon was dead, seems like Stannis told that to Davos long before? When Melisandre used her blood spell to cut our Joff/Rob/Balon. So it was a flashback, the reason of Balon's death was his younger bro Euron, or it was Melisandre?
+ Show Spoiler +The usurper Robb Stark, the usurper Balon Greyjoy, the usurper Joffrey Baratheon ![[image loading]](http://cs608222.vk.me/v608222648/60ed/P67ggzLkHIA.jpg)
Ramsay is now officially #1 hated person in whole TV series, Joff moves to #2. Everything he has done to lady Wolda Frey was horrible, she seems like was good person. And even tho Roose was a bit "evil traitor", he was smart ass and pretty intresting to follow, never made clueless moves.
Now I really feel sorry for Cersei, Jaime and Tommen, their family suffer a lot and feels like they are more victims, hope for some blood vengeance on weird fanatics and lord sparrow.
With Jon playing full Jesus and having such allies as Melisandre / Davos / Tormund with wildings and giant, with his direwolf, possibly Sansa / Brienne / Pod joins him - makes their side very OP by any possible means.
And yea, flashback was cool! Finally something interesting about Bran! 
Can't wait for episode 3!

Gendry aka the rightful heir, will comeback.

Lancel? In any case, I would expect the "official" male line to come first, so if they were alive, it would be Stannis or Renly as brothers of Robert. Has the news of Stannis death even reached Kings Landing yet? Somehow I feel that given the current situation of lords and kings dieing everywhere and noone seems to bother about this question, this must mean that either Tommen has some plot armor, or that the entire kingdom is about to turn into a giant FFA.
Also, to a lesser extent the same applies to Ramsay and the North.
