Deranged Rhino Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I'd love that too, but I see Littlefinger making it to the end of the series. Only the good die young on GOT. Your logic is sound and Littlefinger is one of the ultimate survivors of Westeros... but I still don't think he makes it to season 8 personally. He's one of my favorites too, so I kind of hope I'm wrong there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I was thinking Ellaria Sand but you may be right. She's no longer needed for the story. Although I don't see Cersei just abandoning her brother/lover completely. He's also key to leading her army. Actually, I'm thinking that Jamie is taken captive and while with Tyrion and Dany, finally realizes how truly evil (and insane) his sister really is and more or less, changes sides. I agree with Tony here. I think Cersei won't trade for him or value him as much as he thinks she should. I know it's a kids movie but sort of what happened in the incredibles. With Jamie fulfilling the prophecy for Cersei. It will either be that or the same scenario as when he struck down the mad king imo. Cersei's burn them all moment (although it could be argued the sept was that). This was my favorite episode. I binged all of the seasons starting in May and this one took the cake for me. I can't wait to rewatch it. The battle at the end of the episode was stunning. Everything about this episode was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 She has armor. A !@#$ing dragon. My favorite fan theory of the day: Arya kills Littlefinger while cosplaying Catelyn. Don't know where she'd get Catelyn's face, either...but damn if that wouldn't be a great end for Baelish. She was at the Twins. Who knows what she might have found there? There is no Lady Stone Heart in the show. Even crazier - Might be she passed by the Eyrie and scraped her crazy Aunt Lyssa's face off of the rocks.

John from Riverside Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Loved the Sansa/Arya interplay...Sansa is relieved to have Arya home, but also obviously shaken (stunned) by what she has become. I do think Arya ultimately is the end of Littlefinger -- perhaps impersonating Sansa and leading him on? That would be awesome. Definitely going to re-watch this one a couple of times this week. And WHY does Dany fly the damn dragon right in the path of the huge crossbow? That sort of idiocy irks me. From what I can tell the huge cross bow thingy pivots rather easily....however it would seem to me that the further away the dragon is the less accurate the shot I think the best strategy is to get all 3 dragons working together and coming from different angles......and not getting too close and using fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybeard Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Meera Reed returning to her family tells me next season Howland Reed will make his long awaited reappearance and he'll reveal John's lineage.

eball Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Watched it again last night. Bran/3ER scared the crap out of Littlefinger. Arya shocked Sansa with her fighting skills and list of names. And there's no doubt Dany is starting to look at Jon as more than a potential Warden of the North; she took his advice and used the dragon for a specific, targeted purpose -- not "castle burning and murdering." So how does Jaime get that armor off with one arm? Interested to see how they save him; it's definitely too early for him to die -- there needs to be another Cersei/Jaime meeting/confrontation.

Interested to see how they save him; it's definitely too early for him to die -- there needs to be another Cersei/Jaime meeting/confrontation. My guess is since Bronn doesn't wear much armor he'll save Jaime. I think they're captured by Dany and a Tyrion/Jaime/Bronn reunion will be interesting. Also, Jaime did kill Dany's father and tried to kill her and her dragon so I think Tyrion's diplomacy skills will be on full display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both essential to hold out the winter and the war. Yes, but the gold was the most essential to repay the iron band and hire more sellswords. Specifically, the Golden Company (at least 10,000 strong) Cersei referred to last episode and play a role in the books. I'm not sure about their food source, but all that gold should help them store some food. Cersei and Euron are still a force to be reckoned with.

Well, when you watch your previous army burned alive it may shake you up a bit. My best guess of why he refuses to bend the knee because by swearing his allegiance to Dany (who he's just getting to know) would make him feel pressure to march the Northerners South to help fight Cersei. As he said, Northerners don't trust Southern Kings/Queens and for good reason. the Gold Company of a bunch of exiles Westerosies good luck keeping their loyalty. It's too late to be introducing new "main" characters. Well they did add Dickon Tarley. Loyalty isn't required with sellswords. Money is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt in KC Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 The Arya / Brienne training session scene was my favorite of the series so far. It was very well choreographed and executed, and did a great job carrying everyone's emotions through the scene as the technical aspects played out. (It sure looked like Maisie Williams was performing all of the moves and having a great time!) Yes, but the gold was the most essential to repay the iron band and hire more sellswords. Specifically, the Golden Company (at least 10,000 strong) Cersei referred to last episode and play a role in the books. I'm not sure about their food source, but all that gold should help them store some food. Cersei and Euron are still a force to be reckoned with. Crazy thought part one So, do we know any sell swords in Essos? Oh wait. . . what if Daario Naharis can't resist, and comes to Westeros with the others mercenaries as a long shot to win Daenerys back? Crazy thought part two Assuming the above, Daario would of course try to kill Cersie if he got the chance. I could image "Second Son" being translated in prophecy to "Valonquar" (little brother in Valyrian). I assume no one a has bet on Daario being the one to kill Cersei.

I have no idea how much of her own stunts she did for that scene, but I did read that she got so good spinning the dagger that she was the one suggesting that cool shot when she shows the dagger to Brienne. I'm assuming from that, she did a fair bit of those moves. And she did them left handed (which Arya is in the book but Williams is a righty in real life).
