Just connected the dots which were right in my face. Jaime killed Mad King. He was also trying to kill his daughter last episode. If he's caught alive, my dude is not making it.

I'll be very upset if the next episode starts and reveals that Jamie and Bronn are somehow not captured. It's not possible, their army lost and they are alone. Dany very clearly saw them go into the water. If they're not captured, it'd finally outdo Prison Break as the show with the worst cliffhanger solved miraculously in between episodes.

For those who want to know, in the Prison Break season finale,
they escape prison (duh), and are being chased by guards. In the last scene of the finale, the guards and dogs are about 30 feet away from them. At the start of the season premiere, they are suddenly hundreds of feet away. How did that happen?!

It's a shame he can't see cersai for what she really is at this point.

Threaten to burn the city? Dead
Burn my soldiers? Dead
Actually destroyed the Sept killing hundreds including allies with fire? This is fine

Eh you could make the argument that she thought they drowned but I agree it's not like she didn't wait to see if anyone poked their head up. There's been a lot of bad writing this season unfortunately. Like somehow the gold making it to kings landing safely

I know GoT can be unpredictable but I think Jamie has solid gold plot armor and I will be sorely disappointed if he isn't the one to put a sword through Cercei's heart
 
YOOOO . What if BRAN worged into the Mountain and just demolished Cercei and co.

it would be the most craziest assassination evaaaaaa

But that just makes me think since he knows so much, does he know that if he does, it would cause an issue with the whitewalkers taking over westeros?? like is he just waiting for pieces to play and waiting for his turn to make a move?

im just overthinking now lol
 
I still can't believe they're referring to the battle at the end of the latest episode as the "Loot Train Attack"

When I opened HBO Go to watch the episode, a clip with that in the title was on the home screen, which: 1. spoilers? and 2. I couldn't stop laughing at it.

Doesn't quite have the same ring as

Field if Fire part 2.

The official title is:

BATTLE OF THE GOLDROAD

Jaime will die by the end of this season but not by Khalessi. not with tyrion there.

He has no role to play against the white walkers but he will close out the Cersei plotline. Probably murder suicide as she tells her hand to burn the city down before Khaleesi takes it.

It would be a shame if Cersei and Jaime die before realising that the white walkers are real. I want to see the look on their faces.

Oh, so your reasoning is "I like Jaime and can't imagine him doing something wrong."

Yeah you're right. Full disclosure: that was just me engaging in wild speculation because I can't stop thinking about the show rn. Reading it back, it sounds really ridiculous. The thirst does things to some people. :p

Everyone keeps saying Bran can see this and that happening and he's waiting for things to happen, but has it been shown he can see the future? I don't remember that ever being mentioned, he's only been in the past in every scene he's looked at.

I don't think he/greensight can see the future. Just previous and current events.

Other magic in the shown has shown the future in the form of visions/prophecies but thats about it.


Someone should go to Asshai and ask their wizards how it all ends.

Didn't he see like flashing images of an empty throne room covered in snow or something? Not sure if that was necessarily the future.

Also, does Bran need to be able to see the person he wargs to? Is there like a proximity thing to his power? Otherwise, I guess he could just warg the Night King and make him walk into a campfire or something. Kind of an anticlimactic end.

He sees the present and past as if he is right there. The few times he has seen the future it has been catcher in vague symbolism like a dream. So no, other than those few visions, I'd say he can't see the future at will.



He's also never been shown to be able to control a person other than Hodor and that may have been due to their paradox connection or what it did to Hodor. He seems to have ridden along with an undead giant, but there's no sign that he was in control.

didnt the THREE EYE RAVEN see his own death or something and everything about bran and his journey? the raven chose bran since the beginning right? ever since he led him to climb the tower by chasing the raven? i kinda forget but that is what my memory is saying.

Bran is the three eyed Raven, so he is kind of weird in trying to figure out the loop of what he can and can't see. And by that I mean he is literally the three eyed raven old man.

I'd say it was more that whatever magic chose the old three eyed raven also chose the new one and he was simply waiting for Bran to seek him out.

There is absolutely no evidence of this fan theory being true.

Nothing will make me more happy then seeing this stupid theory die.

This is a fan theory? Either way, I am 100% convinced after Meera told him "you died in that cave." I will take a bet on it now I so confident. I will send you my left shoe if I am wrong.

Yes its a fan theory. Meera said that because she was pissed Bran is a total space cadet now.

It's like people coming home from war with PTSD and people say "you died over there, you're not the same person"


it's a dumb theory, 3 eyed raven is just a title.

Agreed. I think it has a double meaning. He died in two ways in there.

I am taking down names of those calling it stupid. You all decide what you want when I am wrong. I cook mean brownies.
 
Even if Bronn manages to get Jamie and himself to the surface, they're inevitably going to be captured, right? Unless that river has a really strong current that will conveniently carry them far enough away to escape.

And of course there are differences. Things revealed in the books that haven't on the show either for creative reasons or because they are going in a different direction.

I can't see any way how Cersei would find out. Jon Snow or Tyrion could maybe tell Jaime but there's no way anyone who does know could do the same for Cersei and make her believe it. Though I do agree, I'd be disappointed if she dies having never found out.

The river they are in is Blackwater Rush. It goes into Blackwater Bay. Very possible to escape. Swimming with 100 pounds of armor is not.

Operating term there is "was". She was (one) of the most beautiful woman in Thrones. Had he stuck to his oaths, he'd be alive with another beautiful woman.

yup and he could still have his real woman on the side. not like everyone in this world isn't doing this already.

Yep. And not only that, the Umbers and Karstarks strongly opposed having a foreign queen. Robb' s marriage did as much to undermine his authority as did Catelyn by freeing Jaime.

Lannister hears of the betrayal, knew how Walder Frey would react and took advantage of a sellsword house like the Bolton's.

The funny thing is the Bolton sigil is a flayed man. It's a double cross waiting to happen.

I think Bran's talk with Sansa points heavily to it being true. "It's complicated" = it's hard trying to explain how he's both the old man and himself.

More like it's complicated to explain how his power works, the process and everything he went through.

I mean obviously it's a title because Bran doesn't have mastery of it yet like the old man did.

The Bran part of the show is easily my least favourite and I worry that he is going to be used to take the show into some very strange places.

From what I can tell Bran sees everything. He sees the past, the present and the future but it's one big fragmented tapestry and he has to piece it all together. The longer he is the Three Eyed Raven the easier it becomes for him to piece together the puzzle? I wouldn't be surprised if Bran was the key to winning the war and is really the main hero but that would definitely piss me off.

"playing" dumb? unpossible
You know what I love about the Young Wolf, Robb Stark? He executed a lord whose armies he needed because "rules are rules". Yet he himself broke an oath and was frolicking about like there wouldn't be any consequences. Not only that, he thought crawling back to the man he broke faith with, while bringing the woman his oaths were broken for along, was a brilliant plan. Dude signed his death the minute he executed Lord Karstark instead of keeping him hostage like every person with a functioning brain was telling him to. Wouldn't have had to go begging to Walder Frey.

No, because they weren't talking about his powers they were talking about who the 3 eyed raven is. He says he's the 3 eyed raven and she's "But I thought you said this other guy was" and his response is "It's complicated". "I'm the new 3 eyed raven" isn't complicated, explaining how they're the same person would be.

Dude was staring at ice and got visions of season 3 episode 9. If only he had listened and not thought with his dick.
