Again, spoilers for tommorow's ep:

[spoiler]It appears the show follows a deterministic rule of time-travel - ie. what has happened in the past has already happened and characters are already feeling the re-precussions of it in present day.

Therefore I think it puts to bed the idea of Bran going back to change the past (such as stopping him from climbing the tower), but it does raise some interesting questions:

- Is he responsible for the Mad King going crazy?
- Is he responsible for telling Rheagar about the WW, thereby instigating the rape of Lyanna and therefore the birth of Jon?
[/spoiler]

I am not sure what happened has anything to do with GRRM.

Great ending but fark me its brutal. Feel so bad for him. Bran can diaf... Stupid cunt doesn't know what's good for him and fucks it all up.

[spoiler]I don't really know much about the in depth lore of the books etc but I thought it was a cool development that the Children of the Forest created the walkers.

I'm going to have to read the books now.[/spoiler]

And seriously Fuck off Bran. All this shit happened because you couldn't just fucking wait your time.

Bran is the key to all this:

[spoiler]

-Bran will go back in time to the first war and build the wall - is it any coincidence that the builder of the wall is called "Bran the Builder"?
-Bran will establish the Stark house with the words "Winter is Coming"
-Jon is the original Azor Ahai[/spoiler]

Suppose today's ep puts to bed my out-there theory that the WW are coming to restore balance to the world by saving Westeros from Dany and her dragons :lol:

There are significant differences between the books and the shows and I expect it will even be greater when Winds of Winter is finally released assuming it is ever released.

As much as that makes sense. Time travel will ruin the greatest story ever told.
The less magic shit, the better.

The show has well and truly overtaken the books. They are running off GRRM notes and his consults but a lot of the story is adapted to streamline the story. E.g young Griff and Dorne are gone.

Tormund still showing his game face with Brienne :lol: Gave her a cheeky smile.

Exactly my point.

Will be interesting to see where the Greyjoys go now... Back to Jon methinks.

I never thought it was uninteresting. I just severely dislike the little cunt. Not to mention the actor just has one of those faces....

Sansa not Jon.

Or do they try and get to Dany before Euron now that they have all their best ships and a massive headstart.

Possibly...
Euron is an awesome addition to the story.

Also, with another White Walker dead, are there only 3 left?

So sick of these fucking dire wolves biting the bullet

Just saw the trailer for next week.

Frothy loins for the battle of Kings Landing. But God im terrified that they're going to Kill Jamie.

Loris is clearly a dead man walking though.

Jamie is going to die sometime.

Yeah, I'm just terrified that it's going to be next week.

He is not really a really main character any more. Jon, Dani, Tyrion, Sansa, Bran and others are probably going to have a lot more influence on what happens so him dying would not be a massive loss.

The last 2 episodes have been Sansa's only two episodes in the series. She's been a deplorable actor and character up until now. So I don't care if she dies.
Bran can g eat a big bag of dicks. I hate the magic side of GoT, it ruins it.

Jamie is a great character and has been from the start. Hopefully he survives next week.
It'd be great to see him and Tyrion meet again.

So Bran is the one who will bring down the wall and allow the white walkers south of the wall right?

Bran the Un-builder?

Bran the Breaker is taken so why not Bran the Destroyer. He's already fucked up one location warded with magic against the white walkers so why not another in the wall. Only Storms End and Winterfell left for him to fuck up.

If he is the one to bring down the all it makes beating Ramsey so much more important so they have some sort of stronghold at Winterfell.

All the magic shit just makes rewatching the first few seasons so much better.

So with Brienne off to Riverrun does anyone else think she might run into a certain Lady Stoneheart?

One can only hope...
All it takes is one sighting of the actress that plays Catelyn Stark on the set and it's as certain as the sun coming up

What's wrong with the girl that plays Sansa...I reckon she's great...no one else could it better I think
