Interesting the contrasts in the throne room with Tommen (nice and bright and lightly) and Cersei (dark as fuck, brooding, scary). Can almost see that she will run things like a dictatorship lol (which might work against her in the future as the people might see Dany as a liberator or Cersei as a Mad King 2.0).


Some of my assumptions for the future;

There will basically be three big factions now

1. Jon/Sansa in the North with Winterfell, northerners, the Vale (and one can only assume now that they will take back Riverrun and the Frey's lands and put Edmure back in charge)

2. Cersei and the Lannisters in Kings Landing with the the other Ironborne to join up now that Theon and co have beaten him to the punch giving the Lannisters a fleet

3. Dany and all of her Unsullied, Dothraki, Dragons, Theon fleet and now Dorne/Highgarden

Some other things

-Arya will probably die when taking on the mountain
-Jamie will head back to Casterlyrock to lead the Lannister armies there and look after that area
-Hoping old mate black maester would have kept some of the Wildfire to help re-produce more of it as they are going to need it in the war to come (and seeing how it turned the battle of Blackwater Bay on it's head and nuked the septom it's obviously very handy)
-Sam must clearly find something useful in the Citadel that will be important to where all this is heading
-Bran will probably head south to find Jon to inform him of his revelation, thus in the process bringing down the wall letting the Walkers through

Fine, I will be the only one that includes Stannis in his theories.

Also, Cleganebowl will still happen.

Thinking about R + L = J, all that is really confirmed is the L part :)

Just being pedantic...

ayra has to meet the red woman again too. She told her they would meet again when they were at the broless banners.

Well, the J part was confirmed as well.

Well, the J part was confirmed as well.

If we're being pedantic for the sake of it, the J part wasn't confirmed.

Would be the biggest dickpunch to the audience in cinema/television/storytelling history if it wasn't, unforgivable.

Surely it can be taken as read now that the kid is Jon.

It's Jon, just the name given to him by Lyanna wasn't Jon.

Playing the Jon motif and the transition from the baby's face to Jon's face, along with the mountain of circumstantial evidence?

They couldn't have been more obvious unless Lyanna called the kid Jon.

I suspect that Lyanna didn't call him Jon in favour of calling him something a bit more Targaryn'y, although the only way for Ned to fulfil his promise to keep Jon safe from Robert Baretheon was to change his name and keep the secret from everyone - including Caitlyn Stark.

BUT

I think Howland Reed knows. He's the only person left alive that knows other than what Bran has seen. We know that he's still alive and that Greywater Watch exists in the show because Jojen and Meera have talked about them.

I think Howland might become a pretty important part of the last two seasons.

Episode 10, The Winds of Winter, and ep 9, Battle of the Bastards, have both gotten perfect 10/10 scores on the IMDB's user ratings, and that's with a sample size of almost 100k votes for ep 9!

That gives director Miguel Sapochnik 3 out of the top 4 episodes, also having directed Hardhome in equal 3rd alongside the The Rains of Castamere, the Red Wedding episode, with a rating of 9.9.

Well it must be the case as didn't she whisper to protect him as Robert would kill him otherwise (knowing that that male baby has a right to the throne).

Give Ser Davos an Oscar for that scene with Jon and the Red Woman
