no spoilers guys?
The actress playing Caitlyn has said she's not returning but not sure how true that is. They've completely missed out the Brotherhood without Banners storyline which I think is a pity. With them, the Sparrows and Dany all sort of competing for the hearts and minds of the 'commoner' I think it makes an interesting aside into the politics of post-feudalism, if that makes sense. It's those themes (yes, including the treatment of women, slaves, the poor etc) that don't get a look in with 'conventional' fantasy that sets GoT apart for me. But I also like giants, dragons and zombie bashing of course :)
Wow, what an ultimate episode for this series. Not sure it 'broke the internet' (maybe it was more shocking for non-readers) but I found it pretty satisfying in a horrible way.
And now we've caught up (or overtaken) the books, the next season will be new for everyone (I'm assuming GRRiM still won't have finished the next novel by then LOL)... :surprised:
Keeping the body count high on main characters aren't they! Enjoyable, certainly wouldn't have chosen those results and that's why it's a hit. I guess where there's no longer a character the story will just drop off at that location, should mean they can focus on fewer areas allowing them to develop at a speedier rate.
Ruined the whole series now. Just why. It wasn't even effective, just annoying and didn't have the same effect as similar occurrences.
There's a lot of discussion over that death, whether that person will be back in the next season. As GRRM said, "If there’s one thing we know in A Song of Ice and Fire is that death is not necessarily permanent."
After seeing 5-10 I'm wondering who is going to be left at the end.
They have already stated that they had to remove that entire story arc.Quote:

I think the imp will be the last man standing, his character just keeps getting better and I think there would be a mutiny if they killed him off.
So dead next season then.... Check.Quote:

Not a new pic, but as apt as ever:

Damn, that was one of my favourites! It was also important IMO in tying in Mel and Thoros as the Lord of Light's priests, able to resurrect the dead (re: Beric, and Lady Stoneheart, and therefore possibly Jon Snurrr). And as I mentioned earlier, it sort of gave another perspective, that of the common folk as compared to the lords strutting about carelessly like the 1%ers they are.Quote:

Still not convinced Stannis the menace is dead, GoT has never shied away from showing gruesome endings but his was a cut to black, very unusual - and that quick edit from Brienne to Ramsey was strange too, not one I remember previously seeing used in this series. I'm almost certain someone hit Brienne from behind just before she struck Stannis....
did anyone clean up all the mess after that big fight at the wall at end of season 4? how about Baratheons lot? I doubt that 'bloke from misfits' knows they can get back up again. he may have another fisticuffs on his hand.
I also hope that the wall defenders have no respect for their traitorous dead, just dumping their bodies into a pit with no cremation, and that when the walkers come down BOOM mega dead army with a Snowy new general ;)
ginger free-folk lady and jon snurr could be re-united again.
can you get white-giant-walkers? or white-direwolf-walkers? white-dragon-walkers?
simplest way of finding blondey-queen would've been to let the other two dragons out to play, then follow them. thinking of which, who'll feed them now? or will they just starve/hibernate in that dungeon until needed again?
hope its not to cryptic for you. :p
The ginger girl I think Jon cremated, and they definitely know about having to do that because of a zombie in Castle Black earlier on (can't remember which season)....
The White Walkers are the 'generals' I believe, they just raise the dead to fight for them; we know they ride undead horses so I'm sure all animals are fair game for resurrection in that case :surprised:
Gwendoline Christie was on Thronecast afterwards and she went to great lengths to point out that Stannis was definitely dead, and she definitely killed him. Then again, you never know...Quote:
