GAME OF THRONES - S7E8 - SPOILERS AND FAN THEORY DISCUSSION WARNING 2AM SHOWING ONWARDS

[EverySongbirdSays]

THIS THREAD IS FOR THE EPISODE NO-ONE

FIRST UK SHOWING 2AM 13/6/16

SPOILERS

ARE

COMING

AND WHAT DO WE SAY TO THOSE WHO ASK IF SANSA IS MARRIED TO TYRION OR RAMSEY?

WE SAY THERE ARE LEGITIMACY ISSUES WITH BOTH MARRIAGES OK? HAPPY? CANCEL THE CHEQUE!

AND WHAT DO WE SAY TO THOSE WHO COME TO THIS THREAD THEN COMPLAIN THERE ARE SPOILERS???

WE SAY NOT TODAY!!!!

I don't think we'll see Tyrion again til the final episode.

Tommen is a bastard, but he's very unlikely to be in any sort of battle!

Ah north I see, four months pregnant makes me tired and docile after 3pm

I don't want cersei to leave either. She has been utterly vile yet has managed to make me feel snips of sympathy (?)

How can Tommen be such a spineless ballbag?

I'm just waiting for the high sparrow to get killed, any ideas how? Wonder what his angle is apart from being a zealot?

Tommen,of course! Tommen versus Gendry at Cersei's trial? Though I don't think that's until episode 10. The sand snakes are bastards too, I'd forgotten that.

I find the amount everyone gets so hung up on Gendry a bit he's not even that big a deal in the book. My guess is Gendry will still be rowing after the Series Finale

I agree that the wall falling could be the final scene.
I sympathise with Cersei because she has been corrupted by trying to find her way in a man's world - and I think we automatically judge her more harshly because she's a woman. A lot of the time she is just defending herself and her family - to quote Sansa 'I just did what I had to to survive'.
Interesting point about sandsnakes being bastards too.
I hate the sanctimonious old HS but I'm worried that he's Howland Reed and actually a goodie! It just seems like he's as bad as the rest, chasing power.

Perhaps kings landing burning and the wall falling?

That would be fair about Cersei were it not for the whole incest thing and the fact she told her brother to lob a small child out a window.

I think this series will end with the Tower Of Joy reveal.

Gosh, that point about Howland Reed had never occurred to me! Interesting.

Cannot wait for Monday morning. I'm not working so can watch as soon as I get up. Yeehah!

I'll eat my hat if he's HR.

He told Margery his back story and he implied he was single and low born. And I imagine he was telling the truth cos lying is a sin etc. He could just as easily said "I had a wife and kids and came from a good family".

And HR has at least 2 kids, Jojen and Meera(?).

I might be wrong, but I really can't see them doing the tower of joy reveal until the books out. I know they did Jons resurrection, but R+L=J is the big reveal of the series.
I also don't want the wall to come down until WoW, but I think that's an inevitability like Sner's Jesus impression.

I still think meera is a red herring, because fans think it being just Jon is too obvious.
I maintain if the books had come out quicker people would not have been trawling online for clues, and not come across it the theory and been surprised when it came out.
Obviously, a few people would have guessed it on their own, but who on here did?
I definitely didn't, and when I first read the theory I was all 'OMFG!!!!'

Honestly, what was everyone else's initial reaction to R+L=J

I didn't guess on my own and was like yaaaasssss when I read it because it made sense.

I have JUST realised that The Waif is the same actress from Love, Nina, which (whispers) isn'tverygoodatallsozNickHornby v. v. surprised though

But we see ToJ in Bran's vision sequence during the Hodor death scene so... they've filmed it already. You know the bit with the hands and the blood.

I think the very end of this season will be Dany leaving for Westeros.

I did not guess it at all - I totally missed all the references to it in fact, I didn't even feel like 'oh yes that was obvious in retrospect' I was more 'they mentioned blood and winter roses?! When?!' but I am a lazy skim reader.
I'm not saying I love Cersei, I don't at all, but we forgive Jaime incest and pushing Bran out the window. Most people like him.
If Howland Reed is not the High Sparrow where the hell is he in all this? (I do think it's unlikely mostly because HR is portrayed as a decent person, not a megalomaniac).

Oh , stop bamboozling me with your facts Every
I don't want to find out on the show

I'm hung up on Gendry because...he's hot. That's why I'm hoping to see him again .

I always think of him a Chris from Skins. So sad

Do we think everything in brans vision will be covered in this series? I cant remember what was in it!

I'm stuck on gilly being cass (?) in skins too

Oh in that picture of (presumably) Lyanna, was her stomach cut open? So something more gruesome than a straightforward birth might have happened.

"BeyondTellsEveryoneRealFacts

Perhaps kings landing burning and the wall falling?"

That sounds like a proper cliffhanger email ending. Maybe with Dany landing on Dragonstone.

The actor playing Young Ned is in another episode apparently. Sorry Wedonotsow

Some statistics about filming the Battle of the Bastards from CNET.
