Ok, Comcast likely took it out when they edited it down. Having said that, how many times has the intro been after a shot, and not immediately after the HBO over static shot?

Game of Thrones, tv only, books don't exist, no backstory...NERDS already ruining a series that hasn't started (3 Viewers)

It was 'The Door', what a great episode.
Disappointed in the WW reveal, took about 30 seconds, was hoping for some more substance.

S4 E1 - There's the cold opening of Tywin having the blacksmith melt down the Stark Valaryian Sword to make the two Lannister swords....and then Tywin threw the wolf sheath on the furnace.

Episode 5, season 6. Watched it last night. I put that episode right up there with Hardhomme and BoB. With this part being beyond the books I read, it was really a hard jolt to the system as Hodor is such a great character. And the years long build up to that scene is amazing. Absolutely amazing.

Iirc, they do the opening titles after that initial scene with the hound and sweringen. Loved that, but not sure what to make of it. It maybe it was only on the on demand version as a mistake (I watched it last week)

He did threaten to catapult Edmure Tully's infant son over the walls at Riverrun to get him to surrender the castle late last season. Edmure didn't call Jamie's bluff, so I suppose he may not have followed through if it came to that.

Re-watching season 6 this past week, it struck me as odd they never showed the Blackfish actually dying at Riverrun. It just seemed odd since the show is not shy about showing bloody deaths in great detail.

Fair Tax!
True on Blackfish, but I don't think he is important enough at this point to matter, could be wrong.
Her granddaughter Ms. Dormer gave her the secret rose sash as a warning that she was still there and not crazy but that she had to leave King's Landing for her own safety which she did.
Because the kid shouldn't have been where he was and it was a necessary plot device.

But she was still there when they attempted to rescue Margery from her walk of atonement.
There was a scene in between those episodes where the High Sparrow made some veiled threats to Margaery about Lady Olena not being a true believer or something. Lady Olena wasn't buying that her granddaughter had turned into a religious nut so Margaery told her to go home and slipped her the rose which was the symbol of their house signifying Margaery was just playing along.
At the beginning of Winds of Winter when they show the "Previously on..." it was one of the scenes they highlighted.

that was earlier than the sept. after that, the two of them meet under watch from the shame, shame, shame lady and marge gives gma the rose note. gma skips town immediately afterwards, but before the sept.

My only real main complaint about an awesome season 6, they were in such a huge hurry for some reason that they rushed through little stuff like this.
In Winds of Winter though, Walder Frey is talking to Jamie and says something along the lines of "Can't believe the Blackfish was killed by just regular footsoldiers..."

There was an interesting question above. Do the White Walkers cause the extreme winters or do they just follow the cold south?
jamny
Footballguy
It wasn't immediately though. Didn't she give the rose to her before her planned walk of atonement? Olenna was still in town. But I can see how she'd leave after the failed attempt.
TheFanatic

Sounds like an entire scene they had to cut for time. Surprised they didn't just add a few more minutes to the episode. They've done that before.
El Floppo
Footballguy
IIRC, at hardhome the cold immediately precedes them, which I took as the walkers causing it.
El Floppo
Footballguy
I just watched it- pretty sure she gets saved from the walk one episode, get's cleaned up the next and meets with granny. immediately after being saved from the walk? dunno. but afterwards and definitely before the sept.

This is correct. Rewatched those two episodes last night.
Was watching the start of Battles of Bastards earlier today - the part where they have to explain to Tormund what flanking is had me rolling. "They won't be able to hit us from the sides." "Good!"

Looked it up and you are correct.
Failed rescue was EP6 and handing rose was Ep7...thx.

all of tormund's scenes with brienne are awesome. I don't even know that they speak to each other, but his wolfhound glare and her disgust at it had me lol every time.
"A pincer move."
I love the look on Tormunds face, just total blankness.
The scene shortly after that where he and Davos are talking about what they do the night before a battle was great too. Davos says he walks the camp because he doesn't want people hearing the sound of him ####ting himself. When they part ways, Tormund responds: "Enjoy your ####ting!"

I'm way behind. I probably will.just delay watching season 7 for a week or so.Arrrggghhhh, I'm behind. I was cruising along and all set to have season finished by the start of 7, but I lost an episode last night because I had to edit pics for a client and tonight I have some work to do. No way I get through them all before the 16th.

Well he did rape Cersei right next to the newly dead body of their son, but who's judging.
IMO, it's a little of both. They can control/use the cold and snow, etc. but they don't cause the actual winters. There was a line where someone said something like "if the Maester's are right, this will be the longest winter in a thousand years." Not to get ultra
but that suggests to me that the winters and summers varying length is a natural phenomenon. Makes me think the White Walkers have been biding their time waiting for this unusually long winter.
El Floppo

agree with you. the winter comes on it's own and naturally. but the walkers bring a cloud of colder with them wherever they go. at hardhome it was a cloud and a cold wind, IIRC>IMO, it's a little of both.

And just before that when Tormund invites Davos to drink some sour goats milk:
Davos ; "while that does sound delicious..."
"The true enemy won't wait out the storm. He brings the storm"IMO, it's a little of both. They can control/use the cold and snow, etc. but they don't cause the actual winters.

Of the many crucial-to-the-plot scenes in that final episode, when explosions are going off in King's Landing, we see Granny in Dorne meeting Ellaria Sand and Varys. Ellaria seems to have assumed de-facto control of Dorne, and it appears likely both Dorne and Highgarden will join forces with Dany the Targ.

A couple random loose ends
Who was the woman in quarth with the mask who talked to jorah a few times?
Who was rob Starks wife's mother?
Why did little finger marry sansa off to Bruce Bolton? what did he get? does he actually care about her sitting next to him on the throne or is it all about the climb?

Things I didn't totally get the first time around
The rich dude that was helping khaleesi and her brother at the beginning was the one who gave her the eggs in episode 1, and met with varis a couple episodes later where arya overheard them talking about Ned... varis then tells tyrion that he's been working with that guy and someone else to replace Robert baratheon for a long time. Varis is from esso, which is near or in volantis, which is where the targarians were. So he was basically a double agent in kings landing supporting his hometown team while sitting on Robert's small council. But he was also the one who pushed to send the assassin to kill khaleesi. Wtf.

Never named, but Talisa's maiden name was Maegyr. She was from Volantis.
She did have a brother, maybe he makes an appearance to avenge his sister's killing?

I'm guessing the woman in the mask would've been who Jorah reported to in order to get intel back to the small council.
LF said to BB that, "the last time the knights of the Vail aligned with the north, it toppled the greatest dynasty the world has ever known." LF sees that the Lannisters took a massive blow when Tywin died. He is now making alliances to shore up his power base outside of the Lannisters.

Littlefinger is still one of the most dangerous men in the kingdom, especially if you're Jon Snow. IIRC, he sorta downplayed the Targaryen threat very early in the series, didn't he? He's got to be in the middle of lots of very big crap in S7.

Littlefinger's a pimp. He could never outfight Snowtino.

Ah he planned to have stannis kill the Boltons, and leave sansa as the wardeness of the north so he could take the north.
Which explains why he was so pissed when he brought the knights of the Vale to save her and then the little bear island girl started cheering for the king of the north.
