OT - Game of Thrones (Spoiler Warning!!)

[Clawhammer]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Nymeria make a timely appearance again before its all said and done. She clearly recognized Arya, otherwise there would be no more Arya.

The reason they do not include the Direwolves as much as we would like is that the CGI for them is super expensive and labor intensive. They have open stated that they'd rather use CGI budget towards the dragons than the wolves. So when the wolves make an appearance, it is meaningful in some way.

Hate to imagine what the final battle will cost in CGI....

I am honestly curious how much productions has cost up to this point. It must be a staggering number for sure!

I just don't know how I will cope when this show ends. By far the best TV show I've ever seen, so addicting. I can't wait until next week, like usual.

Any predictions on who will rule at the end? I'm going with Sansa.

It's George RR Martin. It would not surprise me one bit to see the White Walkers win lol. I feel like we are in for a rough ending somehow, I think it's been stated already the ending will be bittersweet. Meaning someone's heros, maybe all of them, will not win. Could be a split between Jon in the North and Daenerys in the South. Remember Jon is half Targaryen too, Daenerys is his aunt. Could be either one. Could be no one.

Did anyone pickup on that dagger that Bran gave to Arya, was the same dagger from the book Sam was reading when researching dragon glass?? Bran will be a huge key in this, the cave paintings and the previous references to the children of the forest lead me to believe that Bran is the key to it all. He is the only one with knowledge of the ancient magic and events that took place. That dagger with Arya could be the weapon to kill the Night King.

So many possible theories out there. Who/where is the true Lightbringer? Who is the Prince that was Promised? If a dragon dies will it become an Ice dragon? Is there an ice dragon in the wall? Is there some dragon, weapon, or magic inside of Winterfell which just so happens to sit on a hotspring so far north and built by the same man who helped build the wall? Will Brienne's sword Oathkeeper and Jamie's sword Widow's Wail eventually be forged together to once again create Ice and possibly lead to the real Lightbringer? Are we just seeing all of the Valyrian Steel Swords reintroduced to note who will be leaders in the fight against them? Sure has been a lot of specific focus on the weapons.

lol, you got me. I figured there were no spoilers out there I haven't heard yet, unless you are one of those people that actually watches leaked episodes!

Watching this show is a great experience because so many people follow it. Why would someone ruin that by trying to watch episodes early? It's part of the game! The game of thrones that is!

All I have to say is this, ..."chaos is a ladder"

I agree completely. I have no problem waiting... Actually, I almost want to not watch because I know there are only 10 more episodes left

I jumped on the leaked episodes last season, but waited on last week's that leaked. Binge watching them is fun, until you finish and realize you can't talk to anyone about it.

Yup. A coworker saw the leaked episode and I threatened to take her to HR if she told me anything!

I haven't watched any of the leaked episodes, but must admit earlier in the year I did gander at the leaked plot lines.......

for shame! lol, j/k.

Any prevailing theories?

The best one I have heard is that the whole history we are reading/viewing is one penned by none other than Sam. We are reading his book on the whole history of the Song of Ice and Fire
