This discussion is for the show as its own entity. There’s another thread in which the books can be discussed openly and compared to the show. In this thread, the books do not exist.
Yes, I know the show has mostly passed the books, but it’s still cleaner to keep the discussions separate. It has been working just fine.
My most anticipated scene for the first episode: Cersei and Jaime finding out about Daenerys’ hand. In the name of the old gods and the new, please include it.
Speaking of Sam, I’m really excited to see how his subplot at the Citadel goes. Also what does he do with Gilly and Sam Jr, just put them up in a boarding house somewhere in Oldtown?
Once Samwise is sitting on the Iron Throne, that won’t be a problem. Oops, I forgot no spoilers!!
The SJ Merc had an interesting article in Friday’s entertainment section with a conjecture of the likelihood of the various main characters being killed off this season. I think they gave Sam a 50/50 chance.
Just rewatched the last 6 episodes with Mrs. Mahaloth so we’d be ready.
Wow, last season was excellent. Re-watching it was great. I’m actually glad to be mainly past the books at this point. No one knows anything that is coming.
I both look forward to the next 7 episodes, but dread the fact that the final season is still making us wait. I heard a rumor it may not air until 2019.
Watching last season in preparation an just heard Euron proclaim “Cut down every tree!” But isn’t the Iron Islands mostly stone with very little green, hence We Don’t Sow-- or somesuch?
So that takes care of the Freys. That was quick. I guess when the Faceless Men take a face, somehow it magically takes the voice, mannerisms, and height of the victim as well.
