re: GoT S6: E10 "The Winds of Winter" BOOK READERS

Why the hell are they cutting the last 2 seasons down to 7 and 6 episodes!!!?

Is it definitely cut?

Thought it was obvious it was the sons of the harpy

yep. In the books that tale was one of the things that won him his sea-stone throne. He had sailed to the ends of the world and back through untold horrors and not only survived, but found that dragon horn that kills whoever blows it.

Screen from the E10 promo... I wonder if that blond girl is Arya. Shes the only one in that pic that isn't drinking.

You. Can't see her hand how do you know she's not drinking.

Also o don't think Arya can use faces without the hall of faces.

She knows how to take faces now though

Unless its a member of House Frey, I just don't see Arya murdering someone in cold blood to take their face.

I feel like there is something more of a process, or magic or something. Like they aren't jsut wearing masks if changes everything about you.

Although who he frick knows. That whole storyline is vague as frick.

Yeah, this guy is sort of overstating things. Yes, volcanos erupted and the seas are boiling and Valyria is destroyed and dangerous and contains stone men, but as far as "unspeakable horrors that no one survives" go, you can look to Hardhome or Southryos in the books. Those places contain mysterious unspeakable horrors- like the immense fires that could be seen and horrific never endings screams that could be heard in the caves at Hardhome and the human atrocities that were committed in some of the jungles of Southryos. This video contains some of the sort of things you're describing-

Am I overstating things? First off Hardhome is a bad example. It has a bad reputation, but people still live there and smugglers will trade there. Hardhome is just over the Nightsfort in bad reputations, not Valyria's level.

As for Southyros, there's one major difference between it and Valyria: People survive Southyros and live to tell the tale. That video I just heard a bunch of 9 out of 10 dying. People have a good idea on what is going on down there.

Valyria though, only one man that we know of has lived through it: Euron. Of the thousands who have entered Valyria since the Doom, Euron and his crew are the only ones known to escape it. Volantis once sent their entire fleet of ships to retake Valyria, and not a single person survived. It's more than a bit of boiling water and stone men (which aren't in Valyria as far as we know in the books), but something truly unholy there, which explains why Euron was able to survive it.
