Poll: Winter Is Coming - HBO's A Game of Thrones [READ WARNING]

Who will rule Westeros?

  • Total voters
    471
  • Poll closed .
I wonder if the truth of the BWB thing is that they've simply grown too large to control their own ranks? An organisation like that would naturally attract some undesirables. Wouldn't surprise me if the three we saw went back to the BWB with all the supplies they 'found'.
 
Why?

Its Tuesday, and the preview should be allowed to be discussed based on theories from the other episodes/series.

If the preview is being discussed based on theories in the books then that should be for spoilers IMO.

Many people choose not to watch the preview. This isn't a change in rules and has always been the case.

You can discuss it but use spoiler tags and indicate that you're discussing the preview.

I'll raise your question with the rest of the mod team however.
 
I was all for spoiler tags for unaired episodes, but spoiler tags for the preview is a bit strong IMO.

I got an infraction and I didn't even know that I wasn't allowed to do it. No one reads the opening post of the thread every time they open it. 99% go straight to the last page. At least give me a warning first.

Ah very true. Does the preview even show at the end of the episodes on Sky?

I retract my statement in that case and agree with the spoilers idea - sorry.

To be fair, it should have been a warning. Apologies for this. Your record is being updated (as will the others).

The bloke who played Syrio was on thronecast tonight and had a good theory.

He reckons that jaqen told the waif to kill arya quick and don't let her suffer, but she missed the neck and stabbed her in the gut, thus making her suffer. This means that the waif has failed. Jaqen will take her face for her failure and use one of his specials vials to heal Arya quickly.

This seems a goer to me.

I was at the filming of that Thronecast episode yesterday and man, the guy that plays Syrio is tiny!!!! Well they all were (Melvin and Rob Beckett).

That comment did raise an eyebrow though.

No, but they do show it on the Thronecast episode which follows the 9pm "Premiere"..yet Sue Perkins doesn't feel the need to regard the preview as 'spoilers' or warn people to 'look away now' when she introduces it.

Don't watch that show, but wondering the relevance of an actor who 'died' IIRC 5 years ago being anywhere near the marketing of the show today?!? It's either a giant Troll or giant Spoiler :eek:

They often get back past members of the cast so wouldn't read too much into it. Maester Luwin and King Robert were on (completely forget the actors names!).
 
I think I'm enjoying this season a lot more now that they have caught up with the books and are doing there own thing. Feels a lot faster paced, plus I'm not so scared to read through forums for risk of spoilers.

On that note, I've had a theory for a few episodes which I haven't actively seen anywhere else yet (although it probably is), and I really think is what will happen:

So Bran can now do a whole load of stuff that even he is still getting to grips with. In an earlier episode, we saw he almost managed to speak to a younger Ned Stark before being taken away by the old three eyed raven. Well, lets assume that with time, he comes to learn that he can indeed talk to people in the past..

He would surely try to fix everything the Lannister's started and try to save his family by going back to where it all began..

So what if he does just that.. he goes back in time to tell the most powerful man in all the kingdoms of everything which is going to happen in hopes he will stop it.

This man believes him and confides in his closest advisors and friends for help. They cant believe what he's saying, and brand him Mad.


Yadder yadder yadder.. enter, The Mad King.


This was just a thought prior to two episodes ago, when Bran had a vision clearly showing us the Mad King for the first time and the KingSlayer stabbing him in the back.

That vision makes me believe this will happen very very much so.

Ha ha, I Really wouldn't read too much into the guests they had on, they had the bloke that played Merynt Trant on last week and the woman who played Lyssa (Cait's Sister) on before that and I think it's safe to say neither of them are coming back.

Response to a fan theory
A few people have come up with the theory following the episode in which young Ned turns around following Bran shouting. This seems to be further evidenced by the three eyed raven grabbing Bran and bringing him back to the present. Though I have also seen a slight alternative theory that it was the three eyed raven that made the Mad King mad. In which case his reaction to Bran calling out wasn't shock that young Ned turned around but panic of knowing what can happen if you try to change the past.

Personally though I am not a fan of this theory, not because it doesn't seem plausible but because time travel almost always leads to some horrible paradoxes and twists to explain how everything actually goes together. I would much rather see it as a cheeky thing the writers put in to try and troll fans and that Bran can only ever see the past.
 
Just read a an interesting theory that the Waif and Arya could in fact be the same person, i.e. Arya is battling with her inner self, trying to let go of Arya Stark and becoming a faceless man and we're likely to find out the result of this next episode.

Another theory is that the girl stabbed wasn't Arya, but Jaqen who was trying to determine whether the Waif would make Arya suffer or not. It would explain her acting strange as she didn't seem herself leading up to that point.
