Only 2 more months to go. We should totally engage into a healthy DTF GOT drinking game for the premier.

You drink every time someone says 'you know nothing, Jon Snow'
You drink every time 'Winter is coming' is heard
You drink every time someone is killed
You drink every time there's sex on screen

[Prog Snob]

Well, the only person who said, "you know nothing, Jon Snow," is dead.   

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

Not quite!



I want to be like Jon Snow, so redheads desire me.

[Prog Snob]

Yes, she did say it once. True, true.

[cramx3]

I'd imagine she will say it at least once more, ya know when she brings him back to life and he said that's not possible

Also, Winter has arrived so we may not be hearing too much of winter is coming, although maybe the folks in Kings Landing will be saying it.

Sex and death are definitely drink worthy though

But I haven't been lucky enough to try it out yet

Anyone else miss that georgious redhead prostitute from season 1? I do. Who's the actress that played her?

OMG I'm so excited about this.

[BlackInk]

Dammit, I might have to literally fight myself to not watch these and future teasers/trailers. This will be a tough few months.

[cramx3]

Nice!! The Targaryen one is my favorite.

[Prog Snob]

I get emails with updates just about everyday from that website so I'll post more when I get it.

I'm so used to the FB page "Game of Thrones memes" that whenever I see a scene on the show I just can imagine that it's gonna end up in one of those 

Also, a pity they stopped halfway through last season, but go googling "If Game of Thrones happened on Facebook", it made me LOL so hard that it helped to cope with the Red Wedding.

[Prog Snob]

I haven't checked those out in a while. Time to revisit them.

I have a couple of thoughts.

What if he is bringing back Ned Stark for some kind of flashback scene. Obviously it wouldn't be too far back of a flashback but if they couldn't get Sean Bean to commit with the schedule, maybe they opted for someone else?

My other thought is The Hound, though the article says it is just for one episode, so if he is still alive it would be for more than one episode.

Maybe there's a flashback scene involving the Targaryen reign and he's playing Barristan Selmy.

Any other thoughts?

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

There have been a couple of hints that state Ned Stark is coming back in one way or another.

Maybe it's related to Bran and his new powers? Also, I wonder how much of season 6 will be taken from the upcoming Winds of Winter. Season 5 was a huge departure in several points from the books, so I'm curious whether they're pursuing that path once again.

SPOILERS BELOW!!!

I would assume they'll stay as faithful to the book as possible to keep the main ideas on screen. If they don't use the "lost Targaryen", that could allude to the fact that he was a fake. His absence was a disappointment for me.

Flashback showing yound Ned finding Lyanna on her deathbed and what exactly she wanted him to promise?

[cramx3]

I think we get a young Ned flashback and we discover through Bran who Jon's real parentage is.  I've been calling it.

Not necessarily a fake, but otherwise unimportant. They also left out Frog, but given that his story went nowhere whatsoever, that makes sense. It kind of hints the same thing if they don't use other book characters sometime soon.

I agree... all those who could confirm Jon's parentage are dead, and it is my understanding that those who are instead still alive in the book weren't introduced in the show. It has to be some mind hack that Bran does, you can't pop out a character out of nowhere going "How I met your mother" on Jon.

If he is indeed a Targaryen then he will have a part to play. Who knows though.. Maybe he's been shacking up with the Dothraki that Daenerys met up with in last season's finale.

Well he wasn't specifically introduced but his kids were and he was mentioned.

Not if he's killed. Frog seemed like a major character, even being a regular viewpoint character for most of book 5, before being killed off with no impact on anything whatsoever.

We won't know how much of a part this Targaryen has to play until this coming season. If he doesn't show up at all then I'm going to assume it was nothing. He was alive at the end of the last book, so he's alive as far as I'm concerned.

To be fair, and I get your point, he did do one thing that I would imagine has an impact.

If he is a fraud, then they might have someone else do that one thing. That's why I'm not so quick to discount him. We'll find out soon enough.

I was referring to Frog in my response.  He is already cut from the show, someone else will have to do that one thing and I imagine we see it this season.

Gee, whatever happened to potential spoilers being posted in tiny font?

Goddammit cut it out

It's a no win scenario 

It's odd though because no one knows if any of this discussion is even spoiler.  It could potentially never even be in the show and the impact from this in the books are unknown.  I'd say it's best to be small font regardless though.

[Prog Snob]

I'm going to take a wild assumption and say that most people who do post here, especially when the show is on its break, have read the books or at least are attempting to catch up.

I only stopped because you said

Goddammit cut it out
