I like Daenerys but I’m hoping for Jon Snow to get his happy ever after, and Arya too :)

I'm jealous and I want one

Podrick the white walker. I love it. Grin

Good news for the doubters. I definitely saw the Hound in the trailer. He was featured at least as heavily as Tyrion.

Great look on Varys face there. I bet he’s actually a faceless man. And the faceless men are on the same side as the others.

Bit blurry but I screenshotted it off tinternet

BartonHollow · 05/03/2019 22:20

I'm going to try and print that out tomorrow 😂

OneInAMillionYou · 06/03/2019 01:53

Me too. I'll be there. In fact I am practicing right now. Mondays will be a write off until the middle of May.

BartonHollow · 06/03/2019 01:57

Don't hate me anyone but I've thought on it and I think BOTH Pod and Jorah don't survive the Winterfell battle

JorahsMistress · 06/03/2019 03:07

Nooo dont say that @BartonHollow Shock

If pod is tho i think they would make it so that brieanne is the one to kill him, which would be interesting as her natural instinct would be to kill a white walker, but if its pod she will feel conflicted and be devastated if she has to kill him

Im also going to make a list of predictions later, be interesting to see if any of them come true!

Varys as a faceless man?? Interesting theory Smile

crispysausagerolls · 06/03/2019 05:57

I don’t understand the Varys as a faceless man theory? Especially as in the books he goes to extreme lengths to disguise himself by dressing as a homeless man and actually stinking. He seems genuinely helpful and interested in the good of the realm.

agirlhasnonameX · 06/03/2019 07:47

Sorry if posted this already. But Varys is definitely not a faceless man. Faceless men have nothing to do with politics.

Here’s the theory. One of my favs. Varys is only part of it.

Starch · 06/03/2019 07:56

Just realised, I don’t think Bronn was in the trailer was he...?

agirlhasnonameX · 06/03/2019 09:38

I've seen a similar theory before but still don't buy it, even though parts of it are well connected, it seems too straight lined for a series that has so many pieces.
I am still slightly suspicious of Varys but I don't think this will be the answer.
The Faceless men killed their dragon lord enslavers, whilst Varys plotted to give a Targaryen dragon eggs?
If death and destruction was his goal, Varys has made some very inconsistent moves.
I'll come back and concede in May when it's all over if I'm wrong though Wink

Motherofcreek · 06/03/2019 10:16

Oh wow I’ve found my people.

< takes a pew and starts 40 day count down>

OneInAMillionYou · 06/03/2019 10:24

No Bronn for sure. Wonder why?

LaurieMarlow · 06/03/2019 10:38

I don’t think the faceless man CT holds up entirely, but I love the general thrust of it.

I’ve always been deeply suspicious of Varys and none of the more popular theories in the fanverse (all the Blackfyre stuff) cuts it for me.

George was once asked which characters were most misunderstood by fans and he identified Varys and Mel. That intrigued me.

Not that any of this matters. The theories apply to the books. No way can D&D do justice to the complexity of George’s work. Their ending will be much more straightforward than George’s would have been.

However I don’t think we’ll get another book from George let alone the completion of the series Sad so this last series is all we have.

TanselleTooTall · 06/03/2019 11:12

Does anyone else think that Gendry is the lovechild of Fassbender and Christian Bale?
No....? Just me then? I can't un-see it!

agirlhasnonameX · 06/03/2019 16:21

@LaurieMarlow please don't say we won't get another book. I have convinced myself the delay has been deliberate, to let the show finish so that then GRRM can release something 10000x more epic and put it to shame.
If the last TV season was anything to go by I doubt I'll be satisfied with the shows ending.
But since it's all we've got for now I'm still peeing myself with excitement Grin

TinselAngel · 07/03/2019 14:49

Bronn was working for Jaime, but Jaime left on his own at the end of S7. Maybe Bronn will end up working for Cersei? Him and Dario leading the Golden Company?

AngeloMysterioso · 07/03/2019 22:10

Given that Jerome Flynn and Lena Headey have a clause in their contracts that states that they can never even be in a scene together, that is unlikely...

TinselAngel · 07/03/2019 22:17

Yes I remembered that shortly after posting Blush

JorahsMistress · 07/03/2019 22:49

They wouldn't need to be in the same scene for @TinselAngel theory to work, if the writers of the show wanted it they could just make it so that any meeting between them took place off camera, so they could both speak of the meeting between them to other characters, so thats how we find out about it, we just don't see it happen

blackteasplease · 07/03/2019 22:54

Love that pool!

Is that why Bronn and Pod have to go off foe a drink during the Dragon pit scene? Always thought that was a bit odd!
