HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones - will this be just for nerds? (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

most likely shockers lanister or stannis based imo, maybe cersei will be executed

are the night's watch going to help stannis? i figure since this ep was such a damp squib they need to have a big sequence next week...

but it's hard to see how they can return to king's landing and do a battle at winterfell in one episode, so presumably stannis will just self-immolate or something.

xpost yeah it's one or the other

most looking forward to dany finding out jorah's sick and banishing him for a third time

maybe sir davos will finally turn on stannis instead of being a big huffy baby all the time and knife him in the back

then the red witch brings him back to life as zombie stannis

Jorah goes full greyscale, retains his faculties, because renowned Westerosi superhero Grey-Man

the army becomes a cool extreme religious fervor army w the red witch in charge

i think aria is gonna kill that kings guard guy (merrill?) and the rest will just be scenes of people on boats/horses traveling toward s6

Cersei and Margery are put in the same cell, with sexy results

um more like a hot extreme religious fervor army, they worship fire! xxp

im leaning toward cersei being executed i think thats whats gonna happen, they need to throw us a bone after all this darkness, rip bae

otm xp

when has this show ever thrown the audience a bone

um a lot of times like for instance the purple wedding

think cersei will be executed but then immediately after uncle kev will come in and kill all the sparrows.

tywin xxp

sounds abt right xp

im glad the giant made it even tho he seemed sad

giant has quickly become a top character for me

how could he not be

he's so tall

hes very tall but he cld be short for a giant we dont have enough information at this point

thats a good pt i should really be more cognizant of the varieties of giant existence

giants are ppl too (not sure if this is true)

giant will win the game of thrones

giant too big to sit on the iron throne iirc

Can't wait for Bran to worg the giant

i would consider my investment of time in this nonsense worthwhile if i get to see a giant fight a dragon

bran shd def worg the hell out of the giant imo

im a simple man u know i have simple tastes

i was surprised how vulnerable the dragon was to getting stabbed with spears

i was thinking abt that but i think the answer is he's still technically pretty young and should continue to become more and more imposing and less and less vulnerable to hand held projectiles

dragons are maybe like ears in that they never stop growing? idk never really studied dragons v seriously

yeah it really seemed like one more spear and he might have died

xpost maybe you're right, he just needs to learn that in life people will throw spears at you

i was surprised how vulnerable the dragon was to getting stabbed with spears

i was pretty concerned for the dragon but my wife (who is much more engaged in asoiaf than i am) was like don't be ridiculous

dragons are maybe like ears in that they never stop growing? idk never really studied dragons v seriously

this is my understanding

xp im assuming some big is going to get got this season, so jon snow is def in the mix

still betting its stannis though

we can have it all all our enemies and favs can die in the next ep everything is possible

giant too big to sit on the iron throne iirc

irony throne

Arya ends up on the Iron Throne, the White Walkers get worged by Bran, Rickon rules Winterfell, everyone else dies

it's quite cruel how "i am dying of a horrible disease" has knocked "i am in love with you" off jorah's list of things he needs to tell calisi

tbf jorah is a former slaver & he betrayed the lady to whom he swore an oath, so he kinda has misfortune coming to him

what if everyone dies

irl?

what if everyone dies

GRRM hopes to demonstrate that nobility, morals, honor, love & duty mean nothing in a world where a giant comet destroys everything.

rickon is riding the red comet

no way will they just kill cersei, it would be v anticlimactic & not the show's sucker punch style at all - if they were going to kill her she'd have a much more hopeful arc at the moment not crying lapping water off the floor. I think she'll break & fuck over jaime in the process. high sparrow wld much rather have the power of breaking her than the risks of killing her

Yeah I think Daenerys riding Drogon away was just as much for his safety as it was hers. He's technically still a baby.

Balerion was the largest of the dragons used to conquer Westeros but he'd been growing for over a century and Dany's dragons don't have that kind of time.

ya hes basically elephant sized now what a noob

the flying shots looked embarrassingly bad but the closeup stuff looked pretty cool
