The man is completely sadistic, it's a good thing he gets all of this stuff out in stories otherwise he'd probably have a dozen or so bodies buried underneath his house

This is a weird new world we're in. I have no idea if I should search out the leaked season finale photos or not. Will I be spoiled? Who knows.

Spoiler!

One gains nothing by looking

If you've read the books, only one of the images I saw is of something not in the books yet, but it's a pretty big thing.

The other images are things you're probably expecting to happen, if you've read the books.

Just looked
Spoiler!

Don't quite know if that's been earned yet by the show. Novels obviously allude to it.

At least 4, maybe something like 6? I was considering hunting them all down and reading them last weekend, but I exercised a little restraint and only read one.

Yeah I'm having trouble with it, I keep telling myself it would'nt hurt to read a few chapters. It could be the only content for a long time. I just finished a Dance with Dragons recently and I'm dying to know what happens next.

Aaand we are officially done the books.

Very good episode, last scene was haunting.


Edit: Why are they going crazy in the other thread...did something happen?

So where we go from here? There's bound to be spoilers during season 6 shooting when the supposed 'dead' actors are spotted.

But for now, it's a giant cliffhanger as always haha

I haven't been let down by the show before to the levels I was this season. The Dorne plot? Total abortion of the source material.

I wonder that too, I mean, all signs point too her needing victarian ships.


I hope Howland Reed makes an appearance soon. Last person alive to know what happen at the Tower of Joy.

I'd wager we could see Euron but not Victarian. That is based on the casting call released for season 6.

Based on the casting call sheet that came out a few weeks ago, it sounds like at least Euron will make an appearance (Sam's family too): http://watchersonthewall.com/game-of...eres-the-list/

That was a ok finale.. they tied up some things at least. I guess Ramsay isn't lying to John in the books about killing Stannis and his crew. Did all those riders that abandoned Stannis go join Ramsay?

A lot of frustration in the show thread, but I don't understand how they think they are spoiler free? The biggest spoiler of all, John being the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark due to their baby making at the Tower of Joy, is still out there. If I was a show watcher I would still be very careful where I went.

I can't see John being dead, why would Martin admit he is going to reveal who his parents are in WoW if John isn't in the book at all? He will be resed and he will be free of his Nights Watch duties because technically they are 'until death', which he has already experienced. How they reveal it will be interesting though.. Reed is the only one who is alive still from the battle at ToJ, but I suppose they could always have Bran do a weirdwood flash back. I always thought it would be so cool to see that battle in the show through a flashback.

If they really wanted to piss people off they should have done it the same as in the books. Have John read a letter from Ramsay and decide he is going to rally and take the North making all of us cheer with excitement just before it happens.
