A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

An alternative theory is that the Twin-cest couple are actually Targarians, due to Selmer saying the mad king took liberties with Tywin's wife during the bedding ceremony at their wedding and that he was obsessed with Tywin's wife, but that seems a long shot.

My guess is Jon Snow does die but is brought back as this will free him from his vows to the Night's Watch and make him Azor Ahai reborn. Supposedly people revived lose much of themselves and feel less human but maybe Jon will warg into ghost and thus be able to pop back into his revived body or something.

There's also this Coldhands character in the book that seems to be some kind of former brother of the night watch who resisted the full "turning" into a white walker and is still able to talk and help.
Maybe Jon can also become kind of Walkutus of the Walkers and help the humans from inside the Others.

Resistance is futile.

Well, we already know how the last book of R.R. Martin will end:

Spoiler:

And finally, a few weeks after defeating Danaerys and her dragons, the king of the white walkers slew the last human on Westeros.
And from then on the white walkers lived in peace and harmony on Westeros, forever and ever

The End

So Arya Stark is in the next season of Dr Who. Not sure whether this is a step up or a step down for Maisie Williams.

She was fantastic in her episodes.

I always thought it was a dead body which the three eyed crow had waged into. BTW the three eyed crow character has a really cool back story.

Newly released teaser for next season.

The latest rumor is that The Winds of Winter will be released halfway through the next season of Game of Thrones. Since there are ten episodes a season with one episode per week starting in May that means we can expect the book in early June. Which sadly means still half a year to wait.

Damn, the release date rumors are changing by the day. Today the rumor is Feb 23, 2016 which is before the season premier.

Yeah, about that...

I'm beginning to think maybe Martin can't handle the pressure. He was okay before when no one was paying attention to him, but now he has performance anxiety.

[Dinner]

Yeah, about that...

Not what I was hoping to hear but at least he is honest.

Lori, yeah, he said deadlines freak him out and the closer the deadline gets the less and less work gets done. He said this has been a life long problem for him. He also said he was rewriting and changing stuff including in the Theon chapter which he had already previewed.

Hopefully it will be worth the wait though I worry about how his writing time between books seems to be getting longer and longer. We could be looking at an eight year wait for the last book.

If it's any comfort, in the work-shy layabout stakes he's way behind Thomas Harris. His gaps between books are 6 years, 7 years, 11 years, and 17 years (taking us up to 2006- not a peep since then).

[Dinner]

Well, now I feel better.

(...) and how the hell did they get that giant on one of their ships without it capsizing?

They didn't had to. Here's my theory:
