Nice catch! I too had thought only of Eastwatch. If the Night's King and the Army of the Dead are instead going for the Shadow Tower, at least that gives the North and the Night's Watch more time to prepare, as the location of Hardhome was given in dialog as near Skorrold's Point, in the east. Pleas...

The five main characters are Arya, Bran, Tyrion, Jon, and Dany. I believe all will survive until at least next season. GRRM hath said his favorite characters are "cripples, bastards, and broken things." Bran is a cripple, Jon is The Most Famous Bastard in Westeros, and Tyrion told Jon in Winterfell ...

The previous episode ended with Dany's Armada sailing for Westeros. Since it takes time to travel from Slaver's Bay of Dragons to Dragonstone, the early parts of S7E1 should be spent elsewhere. If S7E1 begins with Dany at Dragonstone, that implies nothing has happened in any of the other narratives ...

When an author totally trashes the world I've enjoyed visiting, it saddens me - and definitely takes something away from any re-read. That's an interesting comment, given how prevalent a Ragnarok or Gotterdammerung is in Western fantasy stories (even the Christian Bible concludes with the bloody an...

My own speculation is that the human survivors will emerge from the wreckage to find there is no more magic in the world: giants, dragons, Children of the Forest are all gone, and Valerian steel is just really good metal. The Wall has come down too, as it must have magic to stand (ice melts under co...

Binge-watching enables me to see the foreshadowings and connections more easily. For example, Cercei's great moment, "I choose violence," has a deeper meaning than just within the scene where she delivers it to Lancel and the other Sparrows. Those Sparrows in the courtyard prove impotent against her...

We just completed our full rematch prior to the new season, and as I recall, the only supernatural power displayed was that of resurrection, and attributed to the Lord of Light. Thorns of Myr has resurrected Beric Dondarrion, and Melisandre resurrected Jon Snow. However, there is no evidence anyone ...

In the Library at Castle Black, Stannis told Sam to learn why "dragonglass would kill a White Walker," so perhaps Sam will find better information concerning that topic in the Citadel than he could at Castle Black. Also, he could also have the reveal he experiences at the end of the fourth book, con...

Thank you for raising this topic. I'll answer the title of this post with a firm "no." I was annoyed by the controversy back then; as my spouse put it, "the only reason people got upset was because they like Sansa as a character." Others here have mentioned the entire storyline at Craster's Keep, an...

Does anyone else have any favourite quotes from the books that ended up being used in the TV series during a different point than when it was said in the books? One of my favorites was from one of the first encounters readers had with Mance Rayder. I'd watched the show through Season 5, then starte...
