OFFICIAL Game of Thrones Season 7 Thread - Winds of Winter. Spoilers=BAN, Theories in [spoiler] tags

They played part of the finale the latest episode of Hard Knocks. Everyone's a fan

The fact that HBO cut the scene where Sansa goes to Bran and he tells her everything about little finger has me

That needed to be seen. The whole "I'm a slow learner" b.s. was b.s. and they knew it.

When in reality the all seeing told her everything fukk sansa

#targset out

Had they put that scene it wouldn't be a surprise to the public that Littlefinger got caught.

This was in the script? What else did they cut?

I don't know what else they cut. I just read the article on complex about it.


We actually did a scene that clearly got cut, a short scene with Sansa where she knocks on Bran’s door and says, “I need your help,” or something along those lines. So basically, as far as I know, the story was that it suddenly occurred to Sansa that she had a huge CCTV department at her discretion and it might be a good idea to check with him first before she guts her own sister. So she goes to Bran, and Bran tells her everything she needs to know, and she’s like, “Oh, shyt.”

Ya but then the Little Finger scene wouldnt have been dramatic since we knew Sansa got info from Bran.

I haven't bought any of the season box sets, but have they included any extra/delete scenes in theM?

I think it would've still been dope because every time we would've seen them on screen we would have been anticipating when it would've happened.

Cersei is on that list so there's fukkery afoot.

if jon asks dany to fly arya out on one of her uber dragons near king's landing then do a captain america style jump into the sea, technically arya could get into the castle undetected or through the front gates with lilfinger's face and get close to cersei and stab her in the fukking face before words gets to king's landing that lilfinger dead

i would fukking collapse if that shyt happened tho

I wish Bran would have still been beyond the wall...

Having a literal know it all in Winterfell deflated whatever tension there could have been between the Stark Sisters and Littlefinger, because the obvious answer to everything all along was ask Bran...

I think this is kind of what people are talking about when they say the magical aspects of the show converging on the more grounded aspects are less interesting. Waited years for Sansa and Arya to come into their own, but it hardly meant much with the magical wizard boy there to hand them the W.

LOL people are mad that they got tricked into enjoying fantasy. Dragons, giants, magic, wargs and shyt was nerd stuff huh?

They act like it was bait n switch but then wasn't the first scene in season 1 like an ice zombie scene?

Yes it was and these nikkas was moving fast ass shyt .

I'm watching season one now and yea this was planned .

They chased dude through the forest and chopped his head off .

Walkers ain't moving that fast now .

 

[altruicsense]

If she ever decided to act.

my gawd! Who is this goddess?

You keep saying this like every five pages but the overall structure of season 6 is either based on the books or based on what everyone knows is going to happen in the books.

Jon being resurrected is something everyone knows is going to happen.
The battle for Winterfell is a battle that is being set up in the books.
Recruiting northern lords to fight the Boltons is based on the books.
The battle for Mereen is a battle that is being set up in the books.
Jon being declared king is being set up in the books.
Ramsay writing a threatening letter to Jon is based on the books.
Arya being blind and having to get her sight back is based on the books.
Arya being with the theater troupe and being assigned to kill folks is based on the books.
Jaimie going to the riverlands to lift the siege is based on the books.
Cersei blowing up shyt with wildfire is based on the books.
Freys being baked into pies is based on the books.
Bran being in a cave with the three-eyed raven is based on the books.
The Tower of Joy battle is based on the books.
The kingsmoot and Greyjoy division is based on the books.
The Hound being alive and at peace is based on the books.

It wasn't like they created wholly original plots for season 6, they just moved some events around, combined characters, stuck a few main guys in already existing plots, confirmed commonly held theories, streamlined more complicated stories, embellished some other stories, and filled in a few gaps.

The show only original shyt, like Arya getting poked up, the Sand Snakes killing Doran and Tristian and taking over Dorne with no one caring, Tyrion making awful jokes for an entire season while struggling to run Mereen, Sansa withholding key information from Jon yet somehow coming out of it as a "master player", Ramsay killing Roose and Walda so brazenly with no one caring, are arguably the worst parts of a mostly great season.

And imo, the jury is still out on how they revealed the origins of the White Walkers.

There were some great original moments, like Hodor (as much as it can be called original since GRRM told them it happens in a future book, albeit in a different way), Sam going to Hornhill, and some of the Tommen, Margaery, Jaimie, Cersei, Olenna, High Sparrow moments. But the skeleton of season 6 was book shyt.

And I noticed people bring up hardhome as something "not in the books" too, when that was also an event that happened in the books. Jon just wasn't there. But they mention that something awful happened at Hardhome. The showrunners just decided they needed a big battle, so why not go there and show what happened. Filming something for the show that occurs off page in the book is not coming up with original material. That would be like saying Ramsay torturing Theon isn't based on the books because we don't see any of it on the page.

R + L = J we know what that was and is finally confirmed.
Arya coming back and rip shyt was going to happen
Sansa becoming the lady as she did
Dany and Jon finally meeting
Night King acquiring a dragon and having an ice dragon considering GRRM has a book called "ice dragon"
Bran being an important aspect of the great war (many speculate he or Tyrion is.... u know what)
Jaime being an anti-hero and he's also speculated to be a prophecy that we've discussed
Night King surpassing the wall makes sense because he touched Bran and also the wall is magic and his ice dragon is magic
Sam being a maester and uncovering important information
All the Varlyrian steel blades making their return

I'm wondering where you think they've veered off in a different direction than where the books were headed. There's a lot of shyt that's different and characters that have been changed or ones that haven't existed on the show yet but the main plot points are pretty much there in season 7.

they made Bran too OP. why bother warging into ravens if you just know everything

better in the books, where it seems to be kind of limited to seeing through weirwoods

 

[5StarElite]

how long were r + l chilling in dorne or were they hiding out?

Were Ned's brother and father dead before or after lyanna had the baby?

My understanding that Bran has all the info in him, he just needs bits to look it up himself.
