Game of Thrones Seasons 7-8
About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that... For future us, 2015 thread is here: Link Last edited by keg in kc; 06-21-2017 at 10:48 AM.. |

In my opinion the names of the cities have sort of been meaningful. Kings landing and the king suicide out the window. Winterfell where winter dies i.e. the white walkers

I think Melisdandre is the giveaway that the battle versus the Night King will not end in this episode. Melisandre is not back yet. She needs to show back up and then help Jon kill the NK. I think the Melisandre as the new Nissa Nissa is a pretty convincing theory, and that may be how it goes down. But even if that's not exactly it, she's got to have some involvement in the final defeat of the NK, and so that can't happen until she shows back up. Plus she said on the show to Varys last season that she would come back to Westeros one last time and would die there, so until she shows up, I don't see the NK being defeated completely. Also, if you take that a step further, Arya should survive this battle as well. As Melisandre was taking Gendry away from the Brotherhood on the show in season 4 or 5, she specifically told Arya that she would see Arya again. So until that also happens, Arya can't die. The only thing that would throw a wrench into these matters is if Melisandre somehow turns up at Winterfell before or during this battle, but that seems pretty unlikely given that the battle is about to start and she's not there. Here is the video that explains the Melisandre as the new Nissa Nissa theory. As I said, it is pretty convincing: Last edited by Hawk; 04-24-2019 at 05:02 PM.. |

I think using information gleaned from an off-stage conversation would be a horrible macguffin. I don't expect that. I doubt Bran told him anything we, the audience, don't already know.

The only reason they would do that is the limited air time of the season. But I do agree with you...there shouldn't be anything new introduced at this point that would be a defacto deus ex machina. That would be cheapening the entire season unless they stick the landing.

Hmmm ...
That Melisandre, Azor Ahai, Lightbringer theory seems pretty solid. I dig it. FAX |

I remember the theory about 4-5 years ago that Jon would spear her with his sword, get her fire on the sword and be able to kill the Night King. Sounds like exactly what happened with the Umber kid.

I agree that the conversation likely wouldn’t involve new information to the audience, but I do think it had a purpose. So it could be new information to the characters or putting some pieces together in a way we haven’t thought about but have had the information for a while. I can’t think of what that would be but that is my guess on their conversation. |

Just started rewatching Lord of the Rings for the first time in at least a decade. Not sure if it's to glean something from the battle scenes, or just to make time pass.
