Game of Thrones, tv only, books don't exist, no backstory...NERDS already ruining a series that hasn't started (10 Viewers)

[Chadstroma]

director: "ok... now maybe try sneering... little more... little more... NAILED IT"

That little girl has some acting chops. She did very well with her screen time a couple of episodes ago when they were trying to gather men to fight.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I can only imagine how funny the casting for this role was. A room full of 10 year olds girls sneering. 

All I had to do to get my daughter in this show was take her to a casting call and take away her electronic devices?

Seriously. My 5 year old daughter mad dogs me more than Lady Lyanna could ever hope to if I don't let her on my wife's phone or watch Henry Danger.

I thought she was absolutely fantastic in that episode. just liking her "who farted... it was you, wasn't it?" face.

Season 7 casting call

Spoiler

"According to our sources, the show is currently casting two young Northern characters. Their names are unknown, with Game of Thrones being just as careful on their notices as they were last year.

The first is a 16-year-old Northern girl. They're looking for an actress with a northern accent to take part in what's being called 'a high-stakes scene with leading cast members.' Her physical description isn't specified, except for her needing to be white.

The second role is for a 10-year-old Northern boy. He appears to be a part of the same 'high-stakes' scene as the teenage girl.

These particular roles will be filming in September and October. We've also heard there are other child roles being cast at the moment, but we haven't received any more details on them."

Theories on who these are?

 

[Scoresman]

Theories on who these are?

No one seems to know or have a good guess.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Since this thread is about the TV show only, how could anybody have a theory about who these are?  We've never seen these people before.

 

[Thunderlips]

Theories on who these are?

If they're Northerners, I think they're probably part of a flashback.  Maybe Lysanna Stark and Benjen...

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Could be people not in the show yet

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Could be Moon Boy for all we know.

 

[ScottNorwood]

High stakes

 

[JerseyToughGuys]

I just raised the stakes in my underpants.

 

[Scoresman]

High stakes

High stakes is an anagram for Stag Sheikh.

The Stag is the sigil of house Barratheon, of which Gendry is the sole remaining heir.

Shiekhs are a title of Arabia or Islam.  The culture in Game of Thrones that closest resembles Arabia is Dorne home of House Martell.  

Conclusion:  High Stakes = Stag and Sheikh coming together.  

Gendry marries a Martell in Season 7.  

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Spoiler

Alys Karstark?  I don't think we've seen evidence of Sigorn.  Maybe Jon marries her to Tormund. 

Poor Brienne.

 

[Major]

Last week's episode was great but Lady Mormont's brief appearance was simply awesome.

I must admit, I was a little disappointed they didn't cast this internet meme girl:  https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JEaJgZ39dpg/hqdefault.jpg

If Valyrian Steel does not work - perhaps Valyrian Rubber will do the trick

This is a ridiculous theory. The culture that most resembles Arabia is Slaver's Bay, not Dorne. Dorne is clearly Spanish. Words cannot express how infuriated I am at the idiocy you have displayed here.

Oddly attractive.

Hey, who among us haven't gone from hard to soft and vice versa at a moments notice.

 

[shuke]

I thought they did an excellent job on Jon suffocating at the bottom of the pack.  I felt like I couldn't breathe. 

 

[Chadstroma]

Agreed. Spain is clearly a post-moorish Spain. Similar to the rest of Westerns (Europe) but clearly distinguishingly different as well with the influence of another culture imprinted on it as is the case with Spain. There is a reason why they film the Dorne scenes in Spain.

Post-moopish, actually.

I like Lyanna Mormont and hope the see a lot more of her.

GoT is one of every few shows where the children characters are interesting instead of annoying.

 

[Rustoleum]

paralyzed guys can't ####?

Why else would Meera still be hanging around? Bran, Meera, whoever he mind-controls.... Those have to be some epic threesomes.

 

[thecatch]

Plot twist: Lyanna Mormont is the Prince(ess) that was promised.

That would be awesome. 

 

[renesauz]

There's no way it's spelled karstark.

It is, actually.

Thery were ancient cousins to the Starks...a very old branch of distant relations

Preview looks really boring. I've got low expectations.

Epsidoe 10 is usually an aftermath episode

 

[TLEF316]

I just want the tower of joy reveal. If we get that, they can fill the other 45 minutes with Sam reading scrolls on the toilet for all I care

 

[Ilov80s]

Epsidoe 10 is usually an aftermath episode

S1: Everyone dealing with Ned's death. It did have the epic Dany emerging naked from the fire with the baby dragons.

S2: Aftermath of Blackwater, but good action as Jon kills Halfhand, Theon is betrayed at Winterfell and Dany escapes,gets her dragons back and locks that guy in a vault

S3: Worst finale ever. All aftermath of Red Wedding. Ends with Dany crowd surfing. Onlyhighlight is the Hound and Arrya killing some Lannister men (not the chicken scene though). 

S4: Dragons are chained, Brienne defeats the Hound, Arrya gets on a ship to find the faceless men, Stannis rides on the Wildlings and captures Mance, Tyrion escapes and kills his dad. 

S5: Stannis is defeated and killed, Theon and Sansa escape, Jamie/Cersei daughter dies after leaing Dorne, Cersei's walk of shame, The Mountain returns, Arrya kills the pedophile in the brothel,  Jon Snow is killed. 

So not every season finale has just been aftermath and set-up. 

 

[shadyridr]

At some point someone in the Stark family needs to get some revenge on a Stark family murder. I would be surprised if the entire series came and went and it didn't happen at all. Arya sure seems to be a probable candidate to get some revenge at some point for Ned's death, Robb's, her mom's or maybe all three.  

Didn't it just happen in the last episode?

 

[Ilov80s]

Didn't it just happen in the last episode?

Also Jon Snow executed the guy that led the city watch, stabbed Ned in the back, was placed on the kings guard and then sent to the wall by Tyrion. 

 

[Thunderlips]

Also Jon Snow executed the guy that led the city watch, stabbed Ned in the back, was placed on the kings guard and then sent to the wall by Tyrion. 

Yeah, but I don't know if he knew that. He did it because that clown wasn't following orders. 

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Epsidoe 10 is usually an aftermath episode

In the last two season finales Tywin, Stannis, and Jon Snow have all bit the dust so not always just a wrap-up.

 

[Ilov80s]

Yeah, but I don't know if he knew that. He did it because that clown wasn't following orders. 

True, but it's still revenge. 

 

[nirad3]

S4: Dragons are chained, Brienne defeats the Hound, Arrya gets on a ship to find the faceless men, Stannis rides on the Wildlings and captures Mance, Tyrion escapes and kills his dad. 

This was the culmination of an awesome season IMO and example of a finale that doesn't have to go out on a huge bang.  

 

[Mr. Mojo]

S4: Tyrion escapes and kills his dad. 

Tywin getting it on the throne was classic!

 

[Bill Brasky]

Jon Snow aka Leroy Jenkins

FYI, if at work, there is a bit of cursing.

 

[nirad3]

Tywin getting it on the throne was classic!

Now that was a game of thrones.  

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Cant wait!

I have avoided this thread for 2 weeks... as we have saved the last two episodes and will add tonights in and have a big night of watching GoT back-to-back-to-back.

anticipaaayaaayaation 

 

[Sinn Fein]

So - predictions on tonight's episode?

My guesses - no legitimate spoliers

Wall

Spoiler

Bran makes it to the wall, has his last peek into the past, we find out Jon is a Targaryen/Stark;  Wall begins to crack, Whitewalkers have a way thorugh.

Winterfell

Spoiler

Jon is crowned King of the North.  He pardons Melisandre, Davos walks/rides away.  Sansa and Littlefinger discuss marriage but maybe between Sansa and Robyn

Kings Landing - one legit spoiler in here

Spoiler

Loras and Cersei have their trials.  Loras admits his sins, punishment = castration.  Cersei does not show up - blows up the Sept instead killing everyone in their - including Sparrows, Margaery, Loras, and other Tyrells, and an undetermined number of high society types.  Tommen sees this, and jumps out a window, killing himself.  Cersei realizes the prophecy has come true.

Freys/Lannisters

Spoiler

Arya shows up at the Frey/Lannister feast - kills Walder Frey, becomes Red Wedding, Part II  can see this breaking down into Lannisters v. Freys when they start blaming each other.

Dorne

Spoiler

Nothing much here - Varys secures Dorne, and maybe Lady Olenna as allies for Daenerys

Mereen

Spoiler

Daenerys and Tyrion join with Iron Fleet to head to Westeros

Other stuff

Spoiler

Euron Greyjoy has his fleet and sets out to woo Daenerys,  Samwell and Gilly make it to oldtown with the sword - send white ravens to other houses to warn that Winter is here.  Brienne and Pod meet up with Brotherhood, and continue the trek up north.

Jorah Mormont is seen headed to Valyria - photo of him from the set

 

[nirad3]

People.com says 

Spoiler

Major character dies gruesome death this week.

I need to stay off Facebook on Sunday evenings. :(

Not sure how legit this is ... who knows.

 

[bentley]

So not every season finale has just been aftermath and set-up. 

This is a good example of all the GoT nerds saying "episode 4 is always the x episode" or "episode 9 always happens like that" with little actual evidence.

 

[belljr]

I hate these boring finales

 

[sports_fan]

Holy ####
