I think a dragon is going to bite the dust. Dany is gonna bring her heavy hitters to help out and shit is going to hit the fan.
Gendry is so dead next week.@SkitchP wrote:Gendry may be fan service but I like that he added even more depth to Davos and that alone makes it okay by me.
Who is still in the ruling family though? They killed the king, the queen is captured and all her heirs are dead. I'd buy a power vacuum like Mecca said, but that would seriously hurt any war effort.Anders wrote:Dorne is as powerful as the North. It's difficult to see in the show, but we know there is a large ruling family there. It would make sense for them to still be a factor in the war. Even if it was Dany trying to convince them to keep backing her.Orpheus wrote:Yeah I don't understand why people are confused about Dorne. Their ruler was taken prisoner by the Lannisters and her heirs are dead and dying. You don't just go "welp, let's keep fighting how we were" when that happens.
In the show I don't believe they've established who is next in line.Orpheus wrote:Who is still in the ruling family though? They killed the king, the queen is captured and all her heirs are dead.

Maybe the others felt left out and wanted to come along.Chris_H_2 wrote:why did bran have to warg into so many damn ravens to scout north of eastwatch? wouldn't, like 2 or 3 been enough (you know, a couple of extras just for good measure)? it's not like they were all scattered so they could cover more ground.

Maybe he only warged into one of those ravens.Chris_H_2 wrote:why did bran have to warg into so many damn ravens to scout north of eastwatch? wouldn't, like 2 or 3 been enough (you know, a couple of extras just for good measure)? it's not like they were all scattered so they could cover more ground.
Because ravens are the westeros version of emailAnders wrote:Why did he ask that they send ravens? Was the first only a memory/vision?
So you mean that he sent the ravens to people with messages? Makes sense. I thought he was sending more ravens north of the wall. I just misunderstood it. Thank you.Mecca wrote:Because ravens are the westeros version of emailAnders wrote:Why did he ask that they send ravens? Was the first only a memory/vision?
Speaking of the previews, I couldn't help but notice thatbada wrote:I little pre-cum shot out when that dudes sword lit on fire in the previews.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
Yeah, knowing a scene was cut from earlier in the season, the line didn't bother me.tragabigzanda wrote:Apologies if this has already been posted, but apparently they cut a Ghost scene earlier this season:Zantac Junkie wrote:Did anyone else notice Sansa's reference to Ghost? When she was walking with Arya, she said something to the effect of "I told Jon that the Northern lords won't just sit around and wait for him like Ghost." I'm torn over wether I find it amusing or infuriating.

Well he controlled the ravens north of the wall. He said to send ravens because they act as carrier pigeons in westeros by delivering messages. That's how they got the message on dragonstone and at the citadel. Those ravens aren't controlled by Bran, but that could explain how a bird with no actual basis of carrying messages back to its home in the real world is the main message carrier in westerosAnders wrote:So you mean that he sent the ravens to people with messages?
