Or what if she frees Edmure and Freys chase her and Nymeria eats them? Or the BWB kills them? There's always more Frey death fun to be had, so long as its only in the first episode or so. As long as Roslin lives. i'm still not sure i even want nymeria back anymore. at this rate, i think the series will end with all the direwolves dead and we'll prob never get the wolf pack, which is the most awesome aspect. I'd be shocked at this point if Nymeria returned. They already killed Summer off for (likely) pain in the ass reasons. I think Ghost will be the lone direwolf standing. Re: casuals and Rhaegar, I don't know anyone that was confused by it either. Most of them have at some point happened upon the R+L=J theory, even if they don't frequently read online.

Yeah, they could have brought Nymeria back into the story when Arya was blind. It was a missed opportunity considering she was going back to the Riverlands at the end of the season anyway.

Most of them have at some point happened upon the R+L=J theory, even if they don't frequently read online. wrt rhaegar confusion, i keep seeing purists laugh that hbo had to put out a graphic to explain bc the scene failed, but i think that was just meant to be supplementary for people who got the idea but needed the targ relationships clarified. dumb people who believed ned fucked his sister wouldn't be on the makinggot blog, and it couldn't have been an accident that the scene didn't mention rhaegar. they're obvs holding back jon's targ heritage and putting the emphasis on his mother first, but the graphic just shows it's not meant to be a secret for those paying attention.

It's almost like it didn't live up to expectations, both in the books and the show. As for S6, I liked her scenes with Lady Crane and the training montage, but again there's no way she'd survive that stabbing and be running and jumping through the streets so easily. It was cool to see Braavos in the show though.

Yeah agreed and it seemed out of character for Arya to just walk around knowing that The Waif was after her. Hopefully now that they have fewer episodes and storylines to focus on, things like that won't happen. I think they're pretty much exhausted though, which makes sense because it was a massive project to take on, but as you pointed out with Qarth, Dorne, and Bran, every season has something that could have been improved on.

If my calculations are correct, Arya should inherit Riverrun anyways. If the Lannisters abandon the RIverlands to fight Dany, that leaves the Freys. If the Freys are wiped out, then that leaves the Tully's. I'm struggling to see Edmure, Rosalin and baby survive. That means we go to Cat's children. Bran is the 3 eyed Raven, so he's out of the running. Jon is KitN but there is nothing to suggest he is Lord of WInterfell. That leaves Sansa as Lady of WINTERFELL. Due to the north being the largest land mass in Westeros, the Ladt of Winterfell would be of a higher status that the Lady of Riverrun. The next in line after Sansa is Arya. To be fair, I'm probably completely wrong in that line of succession. Succession laws in Westeros aren't gavelkind, so this isn't how it works. Bran should inherit Winterfell and Riverrun (assuming the Tullys are wiped out). Him inheriting Winterfell shouldn't preclude him from inheriting Riverrun, nor should his greenseer powers stop him from inheriting anything. What is most likely to stand in Bran's way in inheriting anything is Jon being King (although with Sansa as Lady of Winterfell atm, I don't think this will be an issue) and him being a cripple. In that case, Sansa would inherit the North and the Riverlands and then after Sansa it would be Arya. Of course, there would be nothing to stop Bran and/or Sansa from giving some of their titles away to their younger siblings. They would be perfectly entitled to do so, but that would not be automatic and they would have to want to give it away and their sibling would have to accept it.

So glad to see sassy little Lady Mormont return in costume! She's a fantastic addition and much needed character flavor up there in the north! Looking through that tweet from PAP4U who posted those photos of Bella in costume, I saw another post about the red-head we were debating about who has been confirmed as new cast... apparently Daily Mail posted photos of her hugging Kit upon leaving the set and were still calling her Sophie's "body double" back then... I guess I must have missed those photos: www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3815868/Kit-Harington-shares-hug-star-Sophie-Turner-s-body-double-set-Game-Thrones-Northern-Ireland.htmlWe now know she's not a body double for sure, right? I know someone on WotW found her photo and confirmation as appearing on GoT but we can't see her CV or other info? I still think she's the young northern girl and a good bet is Alys Karstark. I know we already speculated this last week but I hadn't seen those daily mail photos of her hugging Kit so I'm pondering it again and wondering if we'll get anymore info about her.

I'm just assuming she's a Northerner - probably a Karstark or Umber. Yeah, I think she'll be the show version of Alys Karstark. I could see the mini Ramsay kid being Smalljon's son or nephew. It's just really waiting for confirmation and since Podeswa was spotted, this likely "high stakes" scene is from 701 or 702, which makes sense given that Jon would want to repair relations with those who refused to support House Stark as soon as possible.

Didn't actually read this one earlier this morning, just skimmed it. I thought this bit was interesting: That's interesting because many of us might assume the Zumaia extras would have something to do with Dany and her armies and thus Dothraki or Unsullied but these extras don't seem to be that. They could be Ironborn or other Westerosi soldiers ... maybe even Tyrells. I doubt they'd be Martell/Dornish but the casting call was for both light and dark skinned men so who knows! When I think of "big beards" I always think of northerners mostly and this filming location is not a northern one. I like this shot they got of the battlements looking more finished and the walls behind. I can't wait to find out what castle this is for the show! We'll have more info once they start filming in a couple of weeks.

watchersonthewall.com/exclusive-news-photos-game-thrones-zumaia/Also whether this is Dragonstone or Storm's End or somewhere else in The Stormlands, we know they're filming an arrival on the beach here so I think it's definitely pointing to Dany's landing site, which we speculated before. This fan drawing of Storm's End does look similar to Zumaia's landscape though and it would be cool to see it.
