Also… Was that Yara hanging from bow of ship? I assume so. Not sure about ghost… Thought he got killed?
People on reddit say it was two of the Sand Snakes.
I saw it as the Sand Snakes. Yara was not shown.
I could tell the one on the staff was, but it was hard to tell the one hanging at first.
Anyone else feel Sansa is going to turn and align with Littlepecker?
Oh, and did anyone else cringe when they transitioned from Jorah’s puss pocketed chest to that guy eating the pot pie? Nasty!
I’m not sure where Ghost is but the real life Ghost passed away prior to this season. Just read that while trying to figure out where he is.
Love that the cure to the disease is to just pick the fucking scabs.
Nothing yet, they just haven’t had a need to show or use him yet. He was there after Bastards.

Still alive. They filmed a scene with Ghost but it didn’t make the cut.
ghost should be with him when he’s travelling
I was disappointed they didn’t at least get I to rubbing the salve in the open wounds, that would have been great. Crushed Dragonstone or whatever the hell that was. I wonder if he drank some shit too.
I have been rewatching the past seasons this last week. So many things I have forgotten, even some important plot details that i didn’t remember.
I had forgotten that Littlefinger had Kat Starks crazy sister of the vale poison the Hand of the King, her husband, and lie to the starks about who did it and accused the Lannister’s. The entire drama of the show, the war, most of everything is a direct cause from Littlefinger. I just didn’t remember that.
If it has been a while, i encourage anyone to start from the beginning and watch again.
There’s a theory among book readers, one I actually think is correct, is Littlefinger will end up being King of Westeros. Jon Stark, Tyrion, and Daenarys will end up sacrificing themselves to save the people. So they won’t be around. Everyone who ends up knowing Littlefinger has engineered all this ends up dead.
Sansa will be the queen as he needs someone noble to legitimize himself, and she’s becoming a throne player as she ages.
The name of the book is Game of Thrones. Littlefinger is playing that game.
The main plotline of the books isn’t the fight for the throne. That’s a sideshow compared to the fight with the wightwalkers. The Game of Thrones just happens to affect the outcome of the fight in the north.
In other words the name of the book is a misdirection, something GRRM loves to do. The name of the series should be The Fight in the North, The final Season, or Wnter’s Coming…if the name of the book had anything to do with the main plot.
Jon, Dany, and Tyrion are no longer playing the game. Jon wants nothing to do with it, Dany’s not playing, she beating people into submission, and Tyrion’s lost any influence he might have ever had to affect anything…plus he’ll end up riding a dragon of his own.
Another cool theory. The Maesters aren’t what they seem. The fan theory is they’re trying to kill magic and control Westeros through “knowledge”.
Also, Sam is narrating the story.
I agree there are some playing the game and some don’t have a clue. Its hard to keep the theories straight between the books and the show. A couple plot lines that are left out of the show have always influenced my guesses for the end(zombie mother Stark for one).
Lots of anticipation for each episode of this season.

It’s quite rare that deep fan theories ever come to fruition, so much so that you’d think directors and writers genuinely read them and purposely do the opposite so people’s hopes are built up and then broken down.
However, a certain Game of Thrones theory could well be coming true, and if so things could be getting even more epic than they already are.
Before we go any further, to stop any of you complaining about spoilers, getting angry despite the fact this article is clearly bound to give away a few things, just stop reading. Stop. Go and watch something on YouTube or something.
Soon enough the series will come to its inevitable end, which will leave a lot of people disappointed, only seeking solitude in a DVD boxset, trying to relive the brilliance that once lit up their lives.
HBO showrunners David Benioff and D.B Weiss always knew what the ending would be, and therefore have done an excellent job of retelling George R. R. Martin’s original story in such a way that builds anticipation for the finale.
Four years or so ago, when the show was in its third season, Reddit OneEyedCheshire submitted their Lightbringer theory, in which they focus on the prophecy of Azor Ahai.
Movie Plot says that the prophecy basically states that in order to save the world from White Walkers, a second coming of the mythical figure, Azor Ahai, will have to forge a special sword (Lightbringer) and drive it through the heart of the one he loves.
Since the full theory is in so much depth and any summary of it could well take away some of its magnificence, you can read it in full here:

And for those who can’t be arsed, OneEyedCheshire put in a ‘too long, didn’t read’ summary: "Winterfell is Lightbringer. Dany is Nissa Nissa. Jon Snow will be reborn of salt and smoke and become Lord of Winterfell, thus becoming Azor Ahai.
“A love story between him and Dany will develop, but he will end up joining Dany’s soul (her last child, Drogon) to Winterfell to reforge Lightbringer and fight back the Others, thus giving Dany her third betrayal and giving the series a bittersweet ending.”
Makes you think, doesn’t it? Still, despite the effort that’s gone into this theory, the poster does admit that it gets “a bit tinfoily” towards the end.
Such an awesome episode with a ton of great lines in it.
Yeah. That was a pretty crazy episode. So much going on and leading forward. Still wondering htf Cerci is getting such a jump on different fronts though. Gotta be a spy!
Love lady Tyrell! She is awesome!
And Jon not bending the knee is also awesome. Don’t give in.
