How would he have seen it early?

How would he have seen it early?

The After the Thrones guys (who work for him) see it early and Simmons sometimes passes along their initial reaction.

White walkers figure out how to make boats.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Little Finger reminds me of Tommy Carcetti. 

Kind of reminds me of that dude from The Wire.  I think he was the mayor or something.

They need to get Clay Davis in this show.... "They gonna come talk to me...about gold laundering...in West King's Landing...Shhhheeeeeeeeeeeeetttt..."

 

[matuski]

I'm going to make a call and get this show on a Sunday/Thursday rotation.

This coming week or the week that just passed??

So those dudes get to see it a week ahead of time and they STILL can't get their reaction show uploaded for airing the immediately after GOT?

"Hodor comin'!"

Can't wait until  Arya goes shopping for a crossbow.

"You earned that gold dragon like a mother******."

 

[The Ref]

This coming week. 

The episode before the Memorial Day break is usually a good one.

 

[The Ref]

"Sir. Friendzone"

i have to admit this one got me.

 

[stbugs]

Helena Christensen was hotter (not sure about now... that was a good 30 years ago). Almost no one is better than Helena in her prime.

Agree 1000%. Helena was ridiculous and didn't have the eyebrow issues of the new girl. A little trim up wouldn't hurt her in those pictures. I don't recall ever having any issues with Helena.

Helena was physically perfect.

Here's what was in the preview.  If nothing else they have for sure decided to put the series on fast forward:

Spoiler

Red witch of the east introduced in Mereen.  

LF makes it all the way to the wall in one episode breaking all time speed records for pace of travel in GOT

Bran confronts/sees the zombie king in a dream, poops pants.

The decidedly not hot greyjoy claims the salt throne with a zillion boats in the background.  Seems she could play the role of the butch to Dany.  

Arya sent to do something

 

[culdeus]

Where did Arya leave her little sword?  Did she chuck it in the water?

 

[Rick James]

Where did Arya leave her little sword?  Did she chuck it in the water?

she hid it between some rocks next to the water

So those dudes get to see it a week ahead of time and they STILL can't get their reaction show uploaded for airing the immediately after GOT?  

I mentioned this in the Simmons podcast thread. It seems like the dumbest strategy imaginable but HBO is normally very smart with how they play things.

[Frostillicus]

Wow that really formatted nicely.

 

[Chadstroma]

I think High Sparrow's time is coming to an end.

 

[thecatch]

I like the odds on Tommen. 

 

[Sinn Fein]

Podrick "Big ****" Payne at +2200 looks like good odds.

I see Rickon is off the board.

 

[Chadstroma]

I like the odds on Tommen. 

Tommen is prob best bang for your buck.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Tommen is prob best bang for your buck.

Pretty sure that is Podrick or Hodor

 

[CBusAlex]

I think Tommen probably survives the season, just because... who is next in line for the throne? He's the only living character that we know of with the last name "Baratheon". When he dies, the #### really hits the fan, and with two seasons after this one it's probably too early for that.

Ellaria Sand would be good odds, if she had actually appeared on screen since the first episode. She's obviously not going to live to see her next name day.

 

[Mr. Mojo]

Wow that really formatted nicely.

I am too busy looking at your avatar to pay any attention to the posted odds.

 

[Chadstroma]

Pretty sure that is Podrick or Hodor

I think you are looking for a whole kinda different bang than I am.

 

[culdeus]

Meli at 1800 is low, was hoping for a value bet at 5000.

Chaos of a succession crisis can be a vacuum that sucks everything in as how the final stage gets set.

 

[bigmarc27]

Why is Daario so high up there?

 

[Don't Noonan]

Why is Daario so high up there?

Who is Daario?  Anyone else not recognize half the names on the list?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Who is Daario?  Anyone else not recognize half the names on the list?

Hipster Dutch guy. 

 

[Waingro]

GoT's m.o. is to kill off an underdog, very often a fan favorite.

Gimme Jamie Lannister for +5000

I will likely happen well before the end of the series though - Cersei's prophecy is that her kids all die before she does, and that she dies at the hand of the "little brother".

But the "####" really hits the fan when the White Walkers attack - not when the Iron throne is vacant...

 

[Chadstroma]

Who is Daario?  Anyone else not recognize half the names on the list?

The only one that should be somewhat confusing for anyone paying attention is Euron Greyjoy... though it is pretty easy to guess that that is Balon's brother that killed him.

I have watched every episode, although I would recognize every character sometimes they don't do a great job saying their names.  For example,  I would have no idea that the guy that was pushed off the bridge was named Balon.  I know him as Mr. Greyjoy, or Theon's dad.  Don't have any what Theon's ugly sister's name is

Yara.

I suck at names but when I see them I know who they are. Yara's name has been said many times for example.

 

[Northern Voice]

Only name that took me a second was Euron Greyjoy, I assumed he was the watery tart on the bridge but must have missed his name.

Margaery is a Baratheon, and she could have the heir with her in prison.

 

[Don't Noonan]

Has they ever said who poisened Joffrey?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Who is Daario?  Anyone else not recognize half the names on the list?

Depends on if they watch the show or not.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Has they ever said who poisened Joffrey?

This is one of those matters where the tv show spoiled it for book readers. On GOT, it is shown that Olenna Tyrell and Littlefinger, possibly with others involved, conspired to kill Joffrey.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Has they ever said who poisened Joffrey?

It was the Dread Pirate Roberts.

 

[-fish-]

Margaery is a Baratheon, and she could have the heir with her in prison.

She's a Tyrell.  She was married to Renly Baratheon until he was murdered.  She clearly isn't pregnant with his kid since (1) he was gay; (2) they never consummated the marriage; and (3) it's been way longer than a few months since he died.

 

[Buckychudd]

Podrick "Big ****" Payne at +2200 looks like good odds.

I see Rickon is off the board.

Bull####, he's the ####### hero of the story.

 

[Don't Noonan]

Depends on if they watch the show or not.

I have watched every episode.   Here are the ones I am not sure if:

Loras Tyrell - guessing gay brother locked up by high sparrow 

Daario Naharis - no clue

Yara Greyjoy - Theon's sister?

Podrick Payne - guy with Briene?

Euron Greyjoy - ???

Ellaria Sand - not sure

Tormund - no idea

Missandei - grey worm's girl?

Olenna Tyrell - Margaery's mom?

ghost - not sure, is this a wolf?

drogon - no idea

 

[parrot]

I will likely happen well before the end of the series though - Cersei's prophecy is that her kids all die before she does, and that she dies at the hand of the "little brother".

I believe the "little brother" part of the prophecy is only in the book which doesn't exist, not in the show.
