It probably won't be about the battle for the iron throne ultimately. It will be about defeating the walkers before they kill and turn everything that moves in Westeros.

For sure, but Dany won't take two seasons to take the Iron Throne. The way the deck is stacked her way it probably won't take two episodes. And we will have the King In The North and The Dragon Queen combining their forces to defeat The Night King. A bit predictable but hey, it's been a cool journey.

Odds are that the walkers will break the wall before she even gets to King's Landing though. It's always been looming over the narrative, the way these people are so busy fighting over power and territory when both their system of government and their race are at the flashpoint of their existence. I wouldn't bet on too many people still standing when everything is said and done; probably not enough to make the iron throne really matter at any rate. It has always felt like a MacGuffin.

Yep. You'd think the Lannister and Stark conflict will be overwhelmed first by the meeting of Jon and Dany's prophesied forces, and then by the ensuing world conflict, whatever it is.

My guess is that the Lannisters will become choric and tragic figures, expended for emotional impact at key moments in the denouement.

@Biggs Still trying to exonerate yourself for posting such a crummy spoiler? Give over.

So how was the gif Gazz posted any different?
Shows the agendas around here. 
Oh and Arya serving up Walder Freys sons to him is from Titus Andronicus. 

Didn't you post it outside this thread, and wasn't that the entire reason people got mad?

Yes, this is the fucking spoiler thread but never mind, Biggs has figured it out he's just pretending he still hasn't.

And as Bold Tone pointed out people who don't watch GoT didn't get it, only those that do and couldn't wait to be outraged were. 

And as we pointed out - it doesn't matter. Don't do it again (goes for everyone)

How was Varys able to turn up in Dorne and then be on a boat with Dany in the next scene?

Cersei climbed from a top 3 to my all time favourite ASoIaF character tonight.

She's a proper villain. I can't wait to see her die.

There were a few leaps in time like that, such is the explosion in Kings Landing and Lady olenna meeting in Dorne right after talking about her dead grandkids.

Anyway, I though it was a good episode and has set it up nicely for next season.

Arya's scene was my favourite, was half expecting to see Eric Cartmen behind the mask.

Cercei is a brilliant villian.

I liked the episode too. Arya possibly being the part I liked least.

I feel for Jamie, ever since season 2 he's been travelling from one shitshow to the next.

One explanation is that she met in Dorne. right after the explosion, the other is that it didn't happen right after.

I'll rather accept that everything on the show isn't happening at the exact same time than spending a season on characters travelling from one place to another. Although I must admit the use of Varys in this episode was distracting.

He rides his sister and pushed Bran out a window. Fuck him.

Maybe one of the dragons fetched him back, how the fuck should we know.......

Yes Miss sorry Miss.

Just catching up.

Shit just got real

so what are the battle lines for season 7?

jon/sansa, dany/tyrion, and dorne/tyrells

v.s.

cersei/jaimie and... euron greyjoy maybe?

bran, arya, littlefinger and melisandre as the wild cards

i wonder if cersei will be taken out before or after the walkers make their final push

That's some lopsided armies right there. Since they made a point of showing Kevan Lannister exploding with with the rest of them, it seems likely to me Jaime will finally take his place as Lord of Casterly Rock, Warden of the West and commander of the Lannister armies. And I don't think it's a done deal he'll throw in with Cersei. He's seen her for what she is and Tyrion will no doubt reach out and try to get him to join Dany.

Even if Jaime stays with Cersei the battle should be easily won by Dany's coalition which is why Klaus is probably right regarding the Walkers destroying the Wall and heading South sooner rather than later.

The Crow's Eye will no doubt try something but they have done such a bad job building him up I wouldn't expect anything. He's been in what, a grand total of two scenes so far and is nothing like the menacing, mysterious creature from the books. At least he got a look in, Victarion was cut altogheter. Shame D&D. Shame. Shame.

youre right about jaimie. i have a feeling he'll play a part in cersei's downfall, and will himself meet some kind of tragic and possibly redemptive end

I loved this episode. The first 20 minutes especially were expertly shot and paced. It was a pity that Margery seemed to go without much of a fight. Cersei came through like the Godfather, dispatching of her enemies one by one.
Interesting how she was so cold about the king's death. Just 'burn him' and move on. Was she always resigned to losing all the kids once her daughter died? Or was he an acceptable sacrifice that allowed her to take the throne? Oh, Cersei, tell us!

I assume it was his part betrayal in the last episode that hardened her.

Kingslayer will become Queenslayer, and might do a Tommen afterwards. Would have a nice symmetry to it, and fulfills the Valonqar prophecy

I had forgotten that. It's bound to happen then. She'll probably have to do something more heinous than the wildfire massacre. Or maybe its as simple as him wanting another child and she refusing to bear that burden.

Well, in the books there's wildfire under the whole city. Maybe Cersei will just attempt to burn it all down as there's no way her forces are anywhere near enough to stop Dany

Well it's all in Maggy the Frogs prophesy, she is queen she has outlasted all her children her tears have dried up, all that remains is she be displaced by a younger more beautiful one and be choked by her little bro. 

To next season they've lost Sapochnik, who directed Hardhome, Battle of the Bastards and this year's finale.

Lost him why?

Other directors probably got jealous.

Season 7 will be 7 episodes and arrives in summer 2017.

saw this thread when i was looking for a different one.

winter has come. season 7 is almost here.

Ennui Is Coming.
Hear Me Bore.
We Do Not Entertain.

Gonna let this build up I think, the pace is too fucking slow to get into otherwise.

Knock this lot off in one night when they're all out I reckon, then it'll just be another filthy memory.

They can't really do slow-paced anymore. There's only 13 episodes left of the show and they have too much to do already.

I really hope they go balls to the wall this season because its been tedious for years now.
