Agreed. With the exception of the Sand Snakes. Although, this last episode they redeemed themselves a little bit with the nudey scene...

The other two can get it too (I'd probably have to stop Obara from using a strap-on though).

Obara's actress cleans up well.

I think Iwan Rheon has been great as Ramsay.

I doubt it, but maybe Gendry?

That would be an interesting twist.

Probably Olyvar. Olyvar will tell the court he was lying about Loras and Margary. Cersei put him up to it, also he's been fricking Cersei and Moon Boy.

Do y'all think her penance walk will be in E9 or E10?

Benioff confirmed that the show would run less than 9 years.

quote:

David Benioff told Entertainment Weekly. "Also, we’re on a relatively fast pace. We don’t want to do a 10-year adaptation of the books, we don’t want to do a nine-year adaptation. We’re not going to spend four seasons in Meereen. It’s time for these two to get together."

It looks like they series finale would line up with the number of books - 7 seasons.

I'm guessing E9.

I think E10 will have Dany in the fighting pits being rescued by Drogon, and Jon being shanked for the cliffhanger (I don't see D & D ruining something that big for the book readers). Since those are pretty big scenes, I have a feeling they'll push her walk back so it can be the major scene of E9, instead of it getting lost with everything else in E10.

Well, episode 9 is called "The Dance of the Dragons", so I think that will be the episode.

Cersei's Walk of Shame I think will be the final episode. Wouldn't be surprised if that was the title of the episode either "The Walk of Shame".

Yeah, that will for sure be episode 10.

Well, if you think about last season's finale, tons of stuff happened in it. I had this mindset going into it as well, only I thought they would make the final scene in the episode where Tyrion kills Tywin. Still think it could have made the Battle for the Wall episode better if they had Tyrion's plot going on simultaneously.

I didn't know that. In that case, I can see the scene in the fighting pit swapping places with Cersei's walk then happening in Ep10. I see those three scenes, along with something happening at Winterfell (whether it's Stannis' siege, or a major Bolton dying), being divided up between the last two episodes (and I guess something happens ion Dorne, but who really cares about that).

Exactly. Your children are the product of incest with your brother, Jamie Lannister. You give a strict religious cult near unlimited vigilante power to clean up the evils prevalent throughout King's Landing. Meanwhile you have been screwing your Uncle's son, Lancel, and manipulate him in a plot to kill your husband, the king, Robert Baratheon. Lancel then seeks redemption and joins said cult. What could possibly go wrong?

the only thing I can imagine happening is Jaime hearing that Cersei is in jail, Doran revealing some of his end-game scheme, or some inexplicable second attack on Myrcella.

Tyron isn't in the fighting pits in the scene from the trailer because as the action starts he escapes to release the dragons. The seared flesh attracts Drogon and we get the dragons setting up shop all over Meereen. That's my call...

how pissed would everyone be if Tyrion replaced Quentyn Martell.

Thus Tywin, Kevan and Varys collective judgment that, while smart (for a woman), she is not nearly as clever as she thinks she is. And LF is starting to run wild because there is a vacuum - no Tywin, no Varys (at least out and about - for the moment), so he is, by an order of magnitude, the most cunning man in Westeros in anything like a position of power.

That's what Stannis' team is missing - some cunning - they've made do with magic, prophecy, stubborness and unfiltered loyalty - but at the end of the day, they're going to have to get their own cunning strategist or they're going to be playing for 3rd.

I think that absent Quentyn, Doran's end game is to declare Myrcella queen of Westeros. I know it's the exact opposite of the books, but it's the only way they can go with it. Plus, it fits with the HBO girl power agenda.

I think Brienne will be the Ghost of Winterfell, but I don't think she'll die. If she ever does, I think it will be with Jaime in some way.
