    Where the hell did Bronn and Pod get to? "Let's go for a drink..." then they were nowhere to be seen when everything kicked off?

    Also, where was Gendry? We can't have lost him again?

    Apparently Bronn and Cersei used to date in real life and now they absolutely hate each other.  I guess it's to the point where they can't even be in the same room.  So they had to get Bronn out of there before Cersei arrived....pretty fucking childish.

    I knew they hated eachother and refused to work together, but I didn't mentally connect him not being there when she was because of this.  hahaha!  That is really dumb.

    Does this mean that theory about Bran being the Night King is going to come true?

    It probably will now since, having no good material to go on, the showrunners are basically using fan theories on the internet to write the show. 

    Still, I'm not seeing a wolf there.

    I don't see how Bran can be the Night King. So he touched/marked himself while he was "seeing"?

    I'm not buying that theory either, it seems like too much of a stretch.

    Right there with you. Bran as the Night King has not been set up in the show. It might play out that way in the books but as of now doing it on the show would feel forced.

    Oh yeah, I bet the showrunners just go to reddit before they write the episodes.

    It certainly appears that way these past two seasons.

    I'll read in Esquire about some fan theory that some dork(s) came up with on Reddit, and more often than not, I'll later see those theories play out later on the show.

    Why would you believe them but not the poster above you questioning that theory?

    Believe? I don't believe anything.

    There's so many fan theories out there about this show that no matter what they write, I'm sure someone has put it out there.  I just highly doubt Benioff and Weiss are worried about what some dipshit on reddit thinks.

    Millions of fans spending hundreds of hours thinking about, analyzing and theorizing about a show. People are going to figure out where it's going. That some superfan on Reddit predicted something isn't a negative reflection on the writers.

    I had some problems with the storytelling this season but following Martin closer would have made it worse. Fake Aegon, Cat Stark's reanimated corpse, Tywin Lannister's intestines, none of it would have made the show better.

    Definitely a similar shape but I'm not sure that's intended to be a wolf. Maybe yes, maybe no.

    Yeah, if anything, I think they might just do stuff to get people talking.  Anything and everything is over-analysed so why not put something in there to mess with the fans?  Like the army of the dead looking like the Stark banner.  I'm sure they've heard the "Bran is the Night King" thing before....why not mess with them?  Ha...I would!

    I am looking forward to a tag team of Arya and The hound vs the Mountain next season.  Hound by himself doesn't make his statement of you know who is coming for you, too intriguing, but knowing Arya is a total bad asa and he (sir Gregor) is still on her list....makes sense.

    Jaime in no armor basically means no more Lannister loyalty IMO

    Can't wait to see some dragon on dragon action.

    When Jon knocks his aunt up, and yes this will happen with all the talk about not being able to get pregnant, then what?  Dany is certainly not laying down for Jon to become king when his identity as Aegon is made public....

    damn these 6/7 episode seasons

    Who is Arya going to trick as lord Baelish when she carves his face into a mask?
