Game of Thrones *Spoiler* Thread
There's been some recent confusion with the old spoiler thread, so I'm kicking off a new one for tonight's premiere. This is going to be the one for folks who've read all the books. So anything anybody might want to talk about is in bounds. Suffice to say, if you haven't read the books, you'll probably want to stay out of here until you do...
I'll bump the old spoiler-free thread shortly in case anybody's interested. For future reference the link to that one is here |

What if north of the wall is like bizarro Westeros, and there's a little short white walker who likes to drink and whore. Maybe that's what te baby will be. They don have dwarves so there will be an undead horny drunk baby on the show.

I'm assuming based on nothing but assumption that the White Walkers are going to play a major role in book 6 and or 7 before GRR concludes the book series. Showing the white walkers on TV during book 3 seems important to me. But, I could be wrong. Maybe someone knows for sure. Is that a spoiler?

I liked that Jon didn't know about bran. They could have had cold hands and them run into other stuff. Or even have him leave crasters before Jon comes and never have Jon know. Seems like they will be there as a threat to jon

I would prefer it stick to what you listed, or at least put up a warning so I know not to read the post.

I think pretty much anything is fair game in this thread. That's why we created a non-spoiler thread.

HBO called him the Night King, but took it down. That could be because it was a spoiler or because it was flat wrong, nobody knows for sure. If you want to know about the Night King, then you should google it as it has obviously been a hot topic on the internet since Sunday. I'm not sure what to think.

Wasn't the whole littlefinger orchestrated the whole thing reveal a lot later in the books?

What the **** are they doing with Cersi? We should be hating her by now but at this point she is coming across as a very sympethetic character.

Maybe the conversation she had with Tywin made her understand that the only house that could take them down is the Tyrells, and Cersei realized she needed Margaery to marry Tommen. I don't really remember a point in the book (especially after Joffery died) that Cersei was even cordial to her... |

They've tried to make Cersei sympathetic from the beginning. Part of it is Lena Headey. Her vision for the character has never really matched what's in the books.

Apart from the incest (which doesn't keep anyone from liking Jaime), I don't see how she's all that different from Catelyn. |

1. Gives people to Qyburn to torture/experiment on, which the books clearly hints she knows about in some abstract way, but prefers not to think about. 2. has a massive superiority complex and looks down on anyone who isn't a Lannister. 3. arranges to kill her husband and the king, because he might find out about her and her bastard, incestuous children. 4. seemingly willing to sleep with any Lannister other than Tyrion. 5. Same as 2, really, but she just has a massive ego, and is a colossal bitch.

Cersei is an absolute monster in the books. She doesn't have a single redeeming quality.

Cersei is a paranoid crazy bitch in the books and at this point was harassing Margary and plotting her destruction even though the Lannisters did need the Tyrells.
Show Cersei comes across as more sympathetic, especially in last night's episode and her ineraction with Margary which seemed way too friendly to me. |

I wonder if they'll try to yurn her into something less than a monster. I don't seee them allowing her to burn the Tower, or take the walk if they make her a sympathetic character.
