Sam went to the Citadel  
Jay on the Island : 4/23/2019 1:29 pm : link
to become a maester but mostly to find any hint at defeating the white walkers. Now he stole a few books from the citadel and yet he has made no mention of what those books contained. Not only that but he has sent Gilly and little Sam to the crypt. There is definitely some very important hidden secret down there. The fact that they mentioned how the crypts are the safest place like 10 times last night it is clear that something bad is going to take place down there. I hope I am wrong because it seems just so obvious not to send people down there to keep them safe but I think they stumble upon the secret after they go through the carnage.

From the trailer Arya is running from something and it's scary enough to actually frighten her. I am expecting either Gendry, a friend who was just killed and turned, A family member(Ned, Rickon, etc), or the Night King is after her. Perhaps she is the one who kills Viserys but the Night King sends several of his men after her.

the scene in a trailer before the season started, where Arya, Jon and Sansa are deep in the crypts and "winter" has finally set in? Not only are going to see some dead Starks, i'm thinking we may see the OG night king. It's becoming more and more obvious the bottom depts of the crypts were tombs but more so prisons, built after the last long night.


The directors confirmed that scene never takes place and it was just shot as a teaser.

There is a dead army on the way with a leader that can raise the dead and they think it’s wise to put the women, children, and the helpless in a crypt surrounded by 1000 years worth of dead Starks? How have they not figured this out? I’m fully expecting a red wedding scene next week in the crypt.

I would think most of the dead in the crypts would be decomposed (even bones turned to dust)? I'm no expert but I think it has to do with the soil etc.

and it goes back to my beefs with changing Littlefinger's character. I don't like when TV shows just change course on character behaviors after spending so much time defining who they are.

Since we've met Arya she's rebelled being a princess, didn't want to be a lady, learned to fight under Syrio, faught along side the Hound, and became no one under Jaquen. SHe's never once cared about love, or romance. Her sex scene was messy story telling, plain and simple.


She's become her own person, she thinks she's probably dying in a day. I'm missing the issue there. There wasn't a hint of love or romance. And, much like her recent actions, she did it on her own terms.
that's fine  
UConn4523 : 4/23/2019 2:15 pm : link
I don't think its a huge "issue", just something noticeable. I look at it as nothing more than fanfare unless there was a reason for it that we will find out later.

its not weird to think it. Its just never been her character. I get the "transformation" but it simply seemed like an unnecessary plotpoint that was being pushed (unless this ends up being her pregnant and with an heir).


She's always wanted to do her own thing and experience important stuff and especially stuff that goes against norms. I don't know why it would be out of line, knowing it was her last night on earth to want to do another adult or even taboo thing that she would otherwise never experience.

Heck, if I only had moments to live, sex wouldn't be a bad thing to try one last time (please don't take that "moments" part as indicative of anything).
Nobody answered my question from before...  
Bill L : 4/23/2019 2:23 pm : link
Did the show ever mention that Gilly was pregnant? Because she certainly is super-pregnant (or the actress is and they are willfully ignoring it).
Arya  
pjcas18 : 4/23/2019 2:24 pm : link
has liked Gendry since King's Landing.

She is facing death as a virgin, and the only person outside of her family she ever had feelings for is there and can take her virginity.

while I found the scene awkward (I think we were supposed to) it in no way leads me to believe it's not Arya or that it's out of character for Arya.

no idea how it turns out, but that did not seem far fetched to me.
Maybe it's me, but I didn't find it awkward at all  
Bill L : 4/23/2019 2:26 pm : link
it seemed pretty natural.

I read earlier at first she thought it was a practical joke when they got the script they were like no it shows she gets her humanity back and she had full control of what and how much gets shown. She said she stayed on the cautious side I thought they did it perfectly with showing her scars and not just flashing her toys and ass like the girls in the whore house.

the dead?

Cersei?

It's far more likely IMO Tyrion fulfills Cersei's prophecy and chokes the life out of her than joins her.

I kind of think the story ends this way - with Tyrion choking Cersei to death, and you see Cersei die, but Qyburn still delivers her baby and when the baby is born it opens it's eyes and they're ice blue, like a wight and then the ending credits roll.


I expect something like this. Or someone we absolutely hate sitting down on the throne for all of us to be enraged.
Maybe awkward  
pjcas18 : 4/23/2019 2:46 pm : link
is the wrong word. I agree it seemed completely natural (for them), I guess I just wasn't ready for little Arya Stark to be having sex.

No, they made no mention of it on the show but the actress is reportedly pregnant but she hasn't confirmed.
I didn't realize she's pregnant  
pjcas18 : 4/23/2019 3:36 pm : link
nor do I understand the significance.

Am I missing it?
I thought she just got fat.

Anyone who thinks the crypts are the safest place to be when the Night King attacks deserves to die.

Not impressed with the first 2 episodes given how long they had to write them. Do we really need several minutes of dragons flying around or a musical number? That is just lazy writing


The dragon flying was 1 minute, 50 seconds and was necessary for a number of reasons articulated in prior threads on this site. I'm not defending the first episode, but many of the complaints are just whining by folks with unrealistic, impossible to achieve expectations going in.

Well you have to include the rest of that scene in it also. The Dragon flying was the best part the rest not so much
The Arya thing seemed pretty normal to me.  
eclipz928 : 4/23/2019 7:56 pm : link
Granted, I reacted the same way as most people and was a little stunned - but that was mostly due to the fact that the actress still looks very young.

But during the course of the show she grew from being a pre-teen to becoming a woman. A lot of time has passed by. I think that was part of the reason why they showed her disrobing - to emphasize that she has grown physically as well as in age.

But that aside, it's not like she's fawning over Gendry. Her wanting sex at that moment actually seemed very transactional. I don't think there was ever even a moment that she cracked a smile.

I think it's pretty consistent with where her character is at this point - she's been through a lot and is very distrusting of most people, especially men. But as best as possible she continues to try to cling to her own humanity. Her having that moment with Gendry was a natural progression.

What about Bronn?  
Eli Wilson : 4/24/2019 1:54 pm : link
Never saw him.

Does that indicate both Tyrion and Jaime survive the war only to face Bronn?

Not sure if he shows up this week but if I had to guess it will look like he’s going to carry out Cersei’s wishes then bow down at the last second.
#brosbeforemaniacalhos

Side note how gratifying would it be for him if he got to kill off Cersei since they can’t even be on screen together since they hate each other so much
