I didn't know that it was possible at this point, but I found this girl more annoying than Daenerys.

The Waif doesn't have a name in the books and that is the name given to her by Arya.

What, you guys didn't know she was called the Waif? Are you real fans or what?? 

(I didn't either - got it from here: https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Waif) 

[Progmetty]

I liked the Mormont girl, I wonder how she feels about Jorah and would he be head of the house if he was pardoned by the king/queen and came back to Westeros.

All the talk about Ian McShane has got me watching Deadwood. I now am very sad that Mcshane died after only one episode

I'd never watched Deadwood and then started last week. Three Episodes to go. I hope the rumors are true about a movie in the works. Apparently it's closer than ever.

Swearanger is an awesome character

[faizoff]

Fucking pumped.

Okay, 69 minutes. Not as long as 90, but still hype.

[Progmetty]

Does anybody know for sure if Hafþór Björnsson is still playing the mountain? We've only seen his face back in season 4 when he fought Oberyn Martell, I don't know if he's the person currently in the mountain's armor, the eyes seem to be CGI but I'm not sure.

[Prog Snob]

Yes, he is.

[Progmetty]

That's cool, I like him although I prefer either one of the other actors who played The Mountain



Because The Mountain is The Hound's older brother, he was knighted by Rhaegar Targaryen and fought during the rebellion so he's at least 45 years old and the actor playing The Hound looks ridiculously older than Björnsson.

[MirrorMask]

Well, he's disfigured and has a beard, two traits that would make you seem older, so that could be an in-universe justification.

[cramx3]

I think when they chose the 3rd actor they must have gone for the "bigger" over "older" look.  Regardless they probably also knew he only needed to fight and then we'd never really see his face again anyway. 

[Logain Ablar]

Yeah, I'd say they went for physical size first and foremost. The earlier two actors weren't really as physically imposing.

I was surprised to see that Hafþór Björnsson is only 27? He looks a bit older than that.

I hope we get to see him without the helmet on, but I'm sure it won't be pretty.

That's what I assume as well. He's won those World's Strongest Man competitions from what I've gathered.

Nah, he has won Europe two times, but that's only because Savickas wasn't competing. That man is unbeatable in these competitions.

You know more about it than I do. I knew he won something. 

[hefdaddy42]

He is big as all fuck, that's all I know.

[Prog Snob]

I could take him...

I could be a bit of a stickler about this but I don't think we should have ever seen his face in the first place, it doesn't take looking up to realize the guy can't be anywhere over 35 and the actor playing Sandor is around 50. The reason this stuck to me is that ever since Sandor told Arya about how his older brother treated his as a child and how that basically helped shape him into the person we met on the show in the first 4 seasons, ever since that I've been looking forward to seeing him confront his brother and even though Gregor as Sandor knows him is dead and presumably just a Frankenstein monster at this point, I still remember what and who the person under the armor is, but oh well.

[cramx3]

Yea, it's definitely something that is off, no doubts about that.

Did anyone stop to think about Ian McShane's death in the show?  Isn't that a certain someone's M.O.for killing?  Also, I'm not sure if it was mentioned, but was one of those three Brothers, Lem Lemoncloak?

Yes and yes, I believe somewhere someone confirmed Lem (also his clothing gives it away).  The hanging and possible changing of ways by the Brotherhood seems to imply they may be under rule of LS.  I do feel like this could be the end of season WTF moment, makes sense considering all of the dead that have been raised lately (Jon, The Mountain, Benjen)

I saw that pic on your fb before seeing it here... I totally get the feeling we may see Syrio again, just a hunch given all the other characters returning and the way Arya's story is playing out, I see it totally plausible that they are the same person.

[MirrorMask]

It's funny that we're at a point in the story where the characters returning are more than the ones dying 

[cramx3]

  true but I wouldn't hold my breath on that.  I can only imagine how many deaths there will be in the next few episodes.  Which I guess leads me to the question..... who do you think will die before the end of the season?

Tommen
Rickon
Ramsay
Loras

Those seem most likely to me

Since the last two seasons have been confirmed to be shortened seasons, and we're running out of time, any unresolved deaths will start to come to light.

[MirrorMask]

Ramsay will definitively get killed by Jon Snow in the battle for Winterfell, I'm afraid for side casualties and Rickon may be one of them, but I have a feeling that he will survive, if only to be the one continuing the Stark lineage after all it's said and done.

Tommen most likely will bite the bullet too, don't know how the endgame with Loras and Margaery's plans will be however. The High Sparrow either emerges out of this season as a dominant force or six feet under.

The Waif is toast also one way or the other I guess. And maybe... the Mountain!!!!

[chknptpie]

I hope Sansa gets to kill Ramsay. She's earned that.

[gmillerdrake]

I have an eerie feeling that Ramsay won't die at the battle of Winterfell, he'll probably be held prisoner because that's the type of person Jon Snow is.....escape.....and then maybe, just maybe Theon will get his revenge. He deserves it WAY more than Sansa IMO.

[Phoenix87x]

Anybody have any idea how jaqen caught caught in the first place. I've have always wondered how he got in that cage.

Looking back on it now it appears that he was following Arya....knew she'd be there.

[cramx3]

Maybe by Syrio changing face to Jaqen he was able to fake being a prisoner to escape Kings Landing.

as much as it's been refuted that Syrio is not Jaquen (vice versa) it really is shaping up to where that is plausible. Arya flees Kingslanding at his behest and then down the road she 'happens' to meet Jaquen.

It'd be nice to get this cleared up this season just to know, but her storyline has been only getting 5 minutes or so an episode so I doubt it'll be any more clear anytime soon.

That's the way John Snow was before he died. There is no way they keep Ramsay alive. I think Sansa is going to kill him. I have a feeling that Littlefinger is going to sacrifice himself for Sansa and give her the opprotunity to kill Ramsey. We'll see in two weeks!
