Production moved from Biscay to Gipuzkoa this weekend and it has not been idle since. Zumaia has been witness to friendly and tense reunions and a momentous convergence. Today, on the third day of filming at Itzurun beach, is no different, as a main character whose fate was perhaps thought of as doomed last season returns to the narrative, and joins three other main characters on a new quest to parts unknown.
Yersterday Iain Glen was spotted in Bilbao, so it wasn’t so shocking when, this morning at the Dragonstone set, Ser Jorah Mormont reported for duty, ever faithful to Queen Daenerys Stormborn (well, not “ever faithful” —More like “since mid-season one.”)
El Diario Vasco reports on the scene, in which Jorah isn’t actually arriving —He is leaving. This not only tells us Jorah at some point returns to Daenerys but that he later leaves. First, Mormont is seen talking to Tyrion as Daenerys approaches, escorted by a retinue of Dothraki, including season six’s bloodrider Qhono played by Staz Nair. The queen says farewell to her advisor, who in turn vows to his queen. You may notice Daenerys is wearing the same outfit as yesterday, but this time she is sporting a red cloak instead of a white one. So that’s it: At long last, Daenerys Targaryen dresses in her colors, black and red. Jorah’s new outfit is just as exciting, inasmuch as Jorah has a new outfit, after wearing the same yellow shirt for so many years. I’m pretty sure it was white at first!
If you want to see the outfits in more detail, The Daily Mail has what you are looking for:
UPDATE: New pictures of uncertain origin have surfaced in a Emilia Clarke fansite, including ones showing Gendry‘s outfit in more detail and director Matt Shakman:
As the scene goes on, Daenerys turns to Jon. Meanwhile, Jorah helps some men prepare the boat. Among these men you may notice Davos and none other than Gendry, which confirms what we already suspected: Once Tyrion and Davos flee King’s Landing with Robert’s bastard, they take him to Dragonstone. However, the scene does end surprisingly as Jorah, Davos, Gendry and Jon push the boat and go away together.
Has Jorah cured his greyscale already, or did he fail in his mission but returned anyway? Did Daenerys simply want to give a purpose to a doomed man, expecting this quest would be his last, or did she actually have hope he would succeed in curing his ailment? What must also be considered is the relationship between Jeor Mormont and Jon Snow, who was gifted Longclaw by the Old Bear. Will Jorah clash with Jon over the Valyrian steel sword? Could the apparent “North-meets-South” angle of this coming season mean Jorah may eventually meet his fiery, precocious cousin Lyanna, the Lady of Bear Island? What is the new quest involving King Jon, Ser Jorah, Ser Davos and Gendry?
These are exciting questions, and I hope the community is eager to find possible answers in the comments. However, please be considerate: Those who read this particular spoiler may not be aware (or even want to be aware) of other spoilers, so let’s only discuss what is pertinent —That is, what is revealed and discussed here, no more. ANY discussion outside the purview of this article MUST be properly spoiler-tagged.

tuitQuote Reply
Well, I noticed that As Jon says his goodbyes to Dany, he neither kisses her, nor bows. This should alleviate some of the fears of those already condemning the show for the “rushed”, “contrived” or otherwise “forced” Ship of Jonerys. If the show is headed in that direction, and as a book reader, I hope they are (as I’ve felt since my first read of ASOIAF way before the show started has always been GRRM’s intent), I have no doubt DnD are going to handle it properly. Remember, there are still 13 hours in which to develop this relationship, 3x as long as a full length feature film. So relax, and enjoy, everybody! Thanks for keeping us entertained in the long off season, WOTW staff, you guys are incredible!

For the past week, I’ve woken up every single morning to awesome spoilers. I’ve gotten so spoiled by the filming in Spain that it’s going to suck when they go back to Northern Ireland and its tighter security.
I love Dany’s red cloak and Jorah’s snazzy new outfit. That dirty yellow shirt better not be under there though.
I also love that Dany has a private moment with both Jorah and Jon. I was hoping to see a goodbye handshake between Jon and Tyrion. Oh well.
Jon, Davos, Jorah, and Gendry makes for a surprising and interesting group. Seriously, who would’ve thought at the end of S6 we’d see those men together?
I wish the forums worked properly because Luka poses many questions that some of us know the answers to and I would love to discuss them further outside of this thread so as not to spoil things for others. Sigh.

If they had any kind of more physical contact I imagine it would be in private before an official goodbye in front of everyone, Dany is a very private person and doesn’t like showing her heart publicly, I Imagine Jon is similar but not to the same extent. It’s different with Jorah though, she’s known him for years and considers him family.

I’ve already said it on the other thread, but the tone of red, they used for Dany’s cape, looks a lot like Rollo-red to me (and they are always very considerate when it comes to the symbolism of clothes)…
And also just a general thought. Season 7 might feel slightly different with all the travelling going on. We could get a lot more of those Varys type situation from S6E10 where he was in Dorne and later in the same episode he was on a ship outside Meereen. I mean Davos alone seems to be all over the place (DS, KL twice, somewhere the boat is going). I’m not complaining, mind you, just getting tired of the impending jetpack jokes already

Gendry heading to the North! I would love to see an Arya and Gendry reunion; when the Brotherhood sold him to Melisandre, Arya was the only one who protested on his behalf – and he protected her so well in most of seasons two and three. Whenever I re-watch 305, when she says to him “I can be your family”, it just cuts me to shreds!
That will be an interesting travelling group – I can’t wait for Jon and Jorah to have a heart-to-heart about Jeor! And it will be interesting for Davos and Gendry to re-connect, with everything that happened after Davos let him escape. I also want to hear Jon and Davos maybe reflect on their time at Dragonstone and Daenerys, in particular, once they are away from her.
With all these arrivals and departures happening, there must also be a lot of interiors due to be filmed/already filmed for Dragonstone. I would guess that even if we only get Jon there for two or three episodes, there will be a lot of screen time in those episodes dedicated to that location. Exciting!

In Westeros bastards are the lowest of the low so daughters come before them, it’s one of the reasons LF was not expecting Jon to have leadership over Sansa but northerners do things their own way.
The faith killed off having multiple marriages after the fire breathing dragons died out, and the last Targ who tried marrying more than one wife got exiled because of it.
Not that any of it matters who has more right anymore, because now it looks like whoever takes the throne by conquest will get it. Like Littlefinger who has no relation to anyone whose been on the throne but that’s not gonna stop him trying to get it
MelQuote Reply
Figure Dany wants one of her advisors to see what’s going on up north personally. Jorah makes the most sense and Jon probably pardons him, allowing him to safely return home. I’m sure Longclaw will come up, but Jorah left it behind on purpose. It isn’t his any more.

So many of the costumes we have seen so far reflect the fact that winter is here, and that Daenerys’s people have arrived in a place with a much colder climate than Meereen.

Michele Clapton’s designs are always amazing, so I can’t wait to see what she comes up with.

As to Jorah’s greyscale… If it’s cured (and it seems so as he seems to kiss Dany’s hand), I wonder what was the point? Just to make him act a bit recklessly and to keep him away from Dany’s side at some crucial time?
Maybe there’s something taking place in early S7 that it’s important Jorah is not there?
Or was the greyscale just introduced as a nod to book readers?
In the books,
I’ve got this idea, that at first everything goes pretty well for (f)Aegon and Jon Connington, people flock to them because they’re sick and tired of Lannister rule etc. etc. But then greyscale/grey plague starts spreading and people turn against (f)Aegon because of the horror, thus paving way for Dany. That would be a good reason for introducing greyscale in the books. Also, there’s Val’s extreme reaction to Shireen’s (cured) greyscale, that reinforces the idea that it might become important.

Dude. Ramsay had sent him a letter where he threatened to kill him, kill Rickon, rape Sansa and kill the NW and Wildlings (the only people at the time who were willing to fight against the WW). That alone proves Jon can’t work with Ramsay and that the only way to rally people to fight the WW is to restore the Starks and take control himself. He spent the entirety of season 5 sending ravens to these people and they didn’t even bother to send recruits.
Flayed PotatoesQuote Reply
It’s quite silly how Jorah keeps leaving then returning. Especially with how dramatic and emotional they’re making his departures.
Unless he at least found a cure for his greyscale, his emotional parting with Dany in S6 is a total gimmick.
I’m not at all surprised Gendry is leaving with Jon. They need some casualties up north to raise the stakes and their northerners are too precious. Besides, killing characters off seems to be their idea of tying up storylines.

I think they gave Jorah greyscale as an excuse to keep him away from Dany. Without Jorah there, she has to rely on Tyrion as an adviser and it makes his appointment at Hand of the Queen more believable (especially since Jorah isn’t there when it happens).

Dany looks rather sad to see them all go doesn’t she. It kind of feels like Jorah is saying a goodbye that means he intends to be gone longer than the others.

The big battle is between the living and the dead. In order to rally people it’s a given that the Starks need to be in a position of power that allows them to do it (especially since Bran and Jon’s stories have been tied up with this battle for so long). So yeah, they have to take Winterfell. Also, they’ve been struggling and suffered a lot for seasons on end. Them getting Winterfell is their first moment of revenge. Let’s not act as if the Starks have had many ‘hell yeah’ moments on the show and get to defeat their enemies for good every season.
There’s no way Dany is taking KL this season. It’s stuffed with wildfire caches and Cersei isn’t above burning it (as you have mentioned). Might as well try and get Cersei’s army to fight because it’s also in her best interest to not get attacked by WW. The only way Dany can take KL right now is if she unleashes her dragons on it and burns it (and I think at this point we both know that’s not going to happen, because many innocent people will die).
We also know from her HotU vision that Dany postpones her conquest to go north. It’s been foreshadowed for years.

My guess is that Jon would tell her to save the other people first.
Benjen is beyond the Wall because he cannot pass through the Wall, he did help Bran, and he brought Bran back to the Wall. But he can’t pass through the Wall.
It could even be Bran who sends uncle Benjen to save Jon with his knowledge.
The big problem with these spoilers is that we dont really understand everything and the more detailed context.
After arriving at the Wall they might decide to go and searching for a wight, perhaps they will send a message to Dany to inform her of their plans.
Dany might be worried after receiving the message and she might decide to go to the Wall quickly with her dragons.
Or again Bran could be the one who is pushing people’s actions, we simply dont know.
That is the problem with these spoilers they are more like bullet points of events, but they might not explain exactly how these bullet points occur.
The person might have a lot of information about Dany and Jon and the Spanish locations, but we simply dont know how reliable some of the other spoilers are right now.

If Jon goes to KL to convince Cersei, probably Brienne will go with him (if she offers it because of Jaime)
My quess is this:
Jon, Davos and Brienne and Podrick and maybe Jorah will go to KL. Cersei will kill one or two ( probably Podrick and Davos or Jorah) and puts the rest into a cell so she can blackmailing the North and Dany.
But…
Dany and the North will not accept this and go to war. At this point, Cersei thinks she can easily win the battle,but when Euron is defeated, she want to burn them all. Jaimes love for Brienne will win and he will kill Cersei and Qyburn. The Mountain will burn to death. (Before all the things we know now, I thought they went straight to KL, but maybe they meet Euron, losing the battle and flee to DS

Dany is as much tied to the fight WW like jon and bran and her story is also been about uniting people and leading ..
The leak says Jamie defeats tyrells and let’s olenna drink poison and dany burns randyl and his son ..
I guess its not even jon or starks I will have issues with ..but the fans who is going to cliam jon is so noble he is the only one who doesn’t want people dying and focus on the bigger picture While the others are fighting in petty battles and wasting armies..

I now you don’t like when someone portrays Jon in better light than Dany. They’re all on board with this but comparing Winterfell which was partially because of white walkers threat only on revenge. It was for revenge for Sansa and Jon trid to rescue Rickon and protect Sansa. She was going against Boltons regardless. I wonder if Dany will do what she might do, if you still gonna defend her.

It’s the natural progression of the story. There’s foreshadowing that this is what will happen. There’s been buildup. Starks will take Winterfell: “the wolves will come again”. Fans didn’t invent it. I don’t know what your problem is. Are you upset the Starks finally took Winterfell and will most likely reunite after 6 seasons? Do you want Jon to hang out at the Wall and do nothing post resurrection? Do you want Sansa running in the woods from Ramsay all season, or Bran to stay in a cave and not share his information?

As for Jorah, he’s obviously been cured of grayscale as his hands aren’t even covered, and I can’t see the others getting into a small boat with him if he was still infected.
I’m wondering if Mel has cured him at Dragonstone? Or perhaps the Maesters at Oldtown but I’m guessing Mel knows the cure as she’d have made enquires on how Shireen was cured. Hell- she can raise the dead so a lil bit of grayscale should be easy!

There are quite a few readers/viewers who want exactly that, it would seem. The best kind of plot progression to them is none whatsoever. One of the most eyebrow-raising comments I read on Westeros.org before it finally went off the deep end was speculation that the first thing Jon would do after being resurrected was head back to the heart tree north of the Wall to re-swear his vows. Good writing ftw.

arvgar,
Dany at this point does not sit the Iron Throne. If you gonna go by law, Cersei is Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, she conquered it by killing everyone who was before her. Also, logic tells you that the North having declared Jon their King also declared themselves as an independent region, no longer a part of the 7 Kingdoms. Thus, unless Jon abdicates his crown and “bends the knee” on behalf of his Kingdom or are taken over by the monarch ruling from the Red Keep, Dany has no control or say in the North or any region that still has not fallen to her. That will probably (eventually) change at some point but until it does, Jon is King of all Northerners. Granted Jorah gave up Bear Island long ago.

Yup I thought about that too, and how Jorah has felt remorse about turning on his family and his dad dying before chance to make amends, so now he might be conflicted whereby he’s always shown loyalty and is in love with Dany yet now might feel it’s his duty to stand by king Jon of the north if he is to get back in good graces with Lady Lyanna and house Mormont.

I dont have a problem with jon in south or him being king in the north or king of westeros..
but having dany tyrion tyrells and dorne simply set aside their enemity towards cersei …and go on a stupid mission so they can convince cersei…
Basically there are lot of stupid things in the leaks like if they are trying to convince cersei and dany defeated ..then how she can burn tarly’s I don’t know..like thats horrifies tyrion and maybe start questioning his decision ..

Might be friction at first due to jealousy/cynicism on part of Jorah.

This is all very confusing. I don’t think these pictures reveal even half of the real story.
I mean, Gendry being brought to Dragonstone and then heading up north with Jon? How does that work? What role is he meant to play up north?
And Jorah heading north too?
And this is believed to occur in episodes 5 to 7 of the season?
Puzzling, indeed.
Could Jorah be heading north as commander of a section of Daenerys’ army to help reinforce the North as part of their alliance? Given that he is a Northerner, perhaps his presence would reassure the North that they are not an invading force?
And, obviously, somebody who is familiar with the North would be best leading Daenerys’ forces if they ever went up there.

The only fly in the ointment is that Jorah is a disgraced exile. But if Jon as KitN pardons him… But please not reinstate him as Lord of Bear Island, I want his cousin Lady Lyanna Mormont to keep her position! 😀
Despite a royal pardon from Jon, some northern lords might be wary of Jorah, but not as much as some “foreigner”. Though, some northern lords might be wary of any southern alliance, it’s not sure they fully believe the WW threat. And with LF possibly in the North during Jon’s absence, whispering in suitable ears…

Lol no way it happens like that. My guess right now is that one of them dies and the other one rules. I would be happy to be wrong about that.

Leak spoilers:
And further, apparently this act worries Tyrion and Varys, but Jon is A-okay with it and continues to cast admiring looks at her, the same Jon who mercy killed Mance Raydar because he could not see him being burnt alive. All this seemed BS to me when I read it. Let’s see how it turns out.

Lol I guess Gendry will be rowing to the big ship. Costumes are amazing. I am guessing that while Jorah was on his quest to cure greyscale, he discovered something that could be of importance in the WW battle. Dany had already said she needed him, but it seems he is needed more in the North….IF that is where they are going. While I think he owes it to his father to protect the ancestral home, his allegiance is with his Queen so wherever they are headed I believe it is by her request. Thanks for this great post!

I agree, partly.
However, she started the war at a disadvantage vs Dany. Cersei might agree to an armistice not because she wants to save people, but because she wants to delay her inevitable defeat. She will then drink and laugh as Others take down her enemies.
Dany, being an idealized figure, will of course do the right thing, and stop a war she should be winning.
I disagree that things are settled for the Starks. Littlefinger will use the fact that Sansa doesn’t trust Jon. Bran will probably bring the Walkers past the Wall. Arya will probably continue to kill the people on her list in increasingly disturbing ways. Jon will probably continue making the the same kinds of mistakes that lost him the Battle of the Bastards. I think a Stark will end up in control of Winterfell (assuming it’s standing) at the end of the show. How that happens I can’t predict as the situation in the North, and the situation with the Starks, is really, really volatile.

WolfOfStarkStreetQuote Reply
This is about the spoilers:
So, if this group leaves Dragonstone in episode 6, do they get to Eastwatch by the end of episode 6? Or at the beginning of episode 7? And when does the parley take place? Because Jon needs to return South with the Wight in order to show it off at the Dragonpit.
According to the leaks these are the things that happen in episode 6. They arrival in Eastwatch, they get in trouble with the NK and Wights, Dany showing up to rescue them out of nowhere (because she stays behind as we see in the photos), She helicopters everyone but Jon out of there, Jon fights the Night’s King, and gets rescued by Benjen and his horse, Dany and Jon then traveling South with a Wights, showing it off at the Dragonpt and then sail North, all happen in the same episode? Or even in an episode and a half (if the Dragonpit group leaves early episode 6 and arrives by mid episode 6 to Eastwatch). Also, when is King’s Landing going kaboom, because that has been foreshadow 3 times.
Ah, and when is the suppose ambush supposed to take place? I’m curious because it seems Dany will be at Dragonston with Jon from Episode 3 through 6. So, while Jon and the team head to Easwatch, Dany, Tyrion and their army head to The Reach to confront Jaime for having beaten her allies. And then after that she gets spidy sense and flues to the North to rescue the guys? All within the same episode or two.
Although the outdoor leaks regarding Dragonstone appear to be correct, there are many contradictions and events that have our characters act out of characters and thin information about all other storylines most of which take place indoors.

I find it kind of odd that so many people are trusting these leaks. A lot of posters are already complaining that this season is going to suck, be fan-fiction, etc. Did we not learn anything last year when there was season-long speculation about who was on those burning Bolton crosses and it turned out to be no one? There are plenty of other examples. Just look at youtube, reddit, and many other sites that are filled with completely wrong speculation and theories. That should at the very least tell you to be skeptical about what you hear over the internet. I’m not saying they have to be incorrect either, but it might be wise not to get too attached to the leaks out there until they can be confirmed.

First of all, sorry for imagining bad things about Dany based on blurry video. Once more I have to remind myself not to rush with interpretations, until more reliable information/clearer pictures become available. I hope Dany’s fans will be happy with my apologies.
Now to the topic. IMO, the filmed departure scene will be Ep 6, maybe even its closing sequence. We know that Tyrion’s suicide mission to KL with an unexpected side affect of Davos bringing Gendry in to the game will be in Ep5. Hence, Ep 6 will be dedicated to Team-Dragonstone working out a new plan and starting its implementation. IMO Jorah’s role will be pivotal: he might bring some key information or item from Old Town, that will facilitate that plan. One way or another, that’s exactly what we see here: implementation of the plan, and Jon is leading the mission. I bet this team involving some of the best swordsmen of Westeros and some legends of the Flee Bottom is going to KL to provoke a public uprising and that we will see all of them in the Dragonpit. The King is going for his kingdom; the Queen will be securing air coverage I suppose.
As for the finale it should pack to basic sequences: KL culminating in the Dragonpit and leading to the Cersei’s downfall and the North (Winterfell/Castle Balck) leading to the collapse of the Wall and WW invasion. One way or another, there is no time
taking into account that Davos’ involvement in the Dragonpit sequence has been confirmed earlier.

CragenQuote Reply
dragonbringer,
Well, Stannis wasn’t considered the king by many. In fact, by nobody but Stannis supporters. And Ned, in S1. I mean in the showverse (and bookverse), the fandom is a different matter entirely. 😉
We watchers/readers know Dany has a legitimate claim to the Iron Throne (notwithstanding the Targ rule that females cannot inherit; the rest of the Seven Kingdoms seem to think females can inherit if there’s no legitimate direct male line male heir) but as the situation now stands in showverse, it’s not hers until she overthrows the present monach (Cersei).
We all know Cersei has no legitimate claim whatsover, she plonked her arse on the Iron Throne by a coup, by killing all other powerful people in KL. How does that saying go? Possession is nine tenths of having/owning something? Right now Cersei possesses the Iron Throne – though it’s unsure what exactly she’s queen of – so Dany has to overthrow her. She can’t hold the Iron Throne unless she actually holds it. Unless the Iron Throne as the symbol of the power of the King of the Andals, the First Men and the Rhoynar, etc., you know how it goes, fill it in as Robert said to Ned, isn’t important. Maybe it isn’t.
Dany was willing to grant independence to the Iron Islands for support, even said she’d be willing to consider it for other parts of the Seven Kingdoms. (I’m not sure if that’s wise for Dany or the North, but that’s another debate.)
I think it was important that Jon was acclaimed KitN in 610. That means he’s not just some bastard who helped to take back WF but a fellow monarch, who can come on a diplomatic mission with some gravitas. That puts Jon and Dany in an equal footing, so to speak.
He wants to save his kingdom and the rest of Westeros from an existential threat, Dany wants to win back her kingdom. But unless she helps Jon, her victory in winning the IT from mad queen Cersei would be a hollow and futile one, because she’d soon be queen of an icy wasteland of annihilated and wighted people (and probably dead herself, unless she flees to the Summer Isles or somewhere… Hm, maybe Naath, with Missandei…)

She will put aside her ambition to save the realm ..
But will cersei let them fight WW peacefully… She will be causing problems..
Rightnow i guess it may happen something like dany gives up the fight against cersei and fights WW …
Cersei selfishly wanting to cause a problem somehow end up dying and once the war is over dany is elected as the queen because of her act in the war..

Dragons are not magical to the Targaryens. Dragons are their heritage. Dragons existed among the people, they were somewhat tamed. White Walkers have not been seen in thousands of years, anyone who saw them last has been lone gone for generations, except for the children of the forest and the children of the forest are also mythical to the humans of Westeros. Dragons are part of factual history, White Walkers exist in old wives tales and such.

Bran decides not to cross the wall realizing that he may break the magic or whatever that is holding the Walkers. Jon goes to meet him up and meets the BWB too. Then maybe due to a possible attack on East watch they go to a fight. And Bran alerts Benjen and maybe even Danaerys in advance through some magic and they both arrive as saviours. This may happen over a couple of episodes. Anyhow the spoilers seem disappointing. [/ spoiler ]

dragonbringer,
The north isn’t her responsibility. I don’t see why she would go. I get her wanting to help but leaving while Cersei is still in power doesnt seem right. And it appears jon and Jorah are departing ep. 6. One episode isn’t enough time to do what the spoiler are saying Dany does.
And if the Cersei thing is true then these characters are high on stupidity.

Maybe because he sees her as a fellow “rebel” ally against Cersei’s rule?
Also, the advantages of a fire-breathing air force would be obvious to Jon – only being burned or eaten to the bone seem to kill wights.
He has to make Dany inderstand this. I hope it goes well. In the filming spoilers,
I don’t know about any Jon/Dany “romance”. Maybe D&D are laying the groundwork for it to come to frution in S8? Before one or the other tragically and heroically dies? (I’m leaning on Jon doing the ultimate sacrafice in the Heart of Winter and Dany left to heal the kingdom(s) and bring forth a better world – no easy task!)

LOL If you even bothered to read what I wrote then you could have said some of whining ..
I not even said she is queen of westeros ..
I very carefully said that she has the support of three kingdoms reach,dorne ,dragonstone and part of iron islands
So saying she is Queen of nothing is stupid. .since jon as you know is king based on the support of north and vale and possibly riverrun
Which leaves cersei with crownlands and westernlands
And I even used example of stannis who controlled less than dany does ..but still considered as a king
If something I said is false in my post then bring up that otherwise stop with your attack on dany fans while you are doing the same

Agreed, there are too many people against her. Varys/Olenna/Tyrion are among the smartest people and they’re advising Dany. The Tyrells and Martells provided Dany with ships, they’re not going to want to bring the Lannisters into the fold. They want to destroy Cersei and because she alienated herself like that her people will probably starve without the food from the Reach. Dany’s going to approach it like she did in Meeren, she’s saving the people of KL from an evil ruler.

Joarh’s new costume looks awesome! What an unexpected grouping! Jorah, Davos, Jon and Gendry heading off on a boat from DS while Daenerys and Tyrion watch them leave! This must be at least the end of Ep. 5 or ep. 6. Can’t be earlier than that. DS will be a major hub of activity next season, for which, I am very, very, very happy!
If Cersei is still BREATHING at the end of the season, I’ll be really disappointed. That crazy person has outlived her entertainment value. With 13 episodes left, the two most important endgame things have to established quickly. Defeating the WWs, and bringing peace, prosperity, security to Westeros (for me, preferably by getting rid of the feudal system).

But see nobody is calling a rebel or king of nothing ..he is king in the north .
Likewise dany is queen of south with dorne.,reach and dragonstone .so she is not queen of anything as some suggest is wrong which was what I was arguing against ..
Yes she would understand the Situation and danger ..even though if she had doubts at first she will come to believe him..
I believe it will be opposite ..there is too much foreshadowing of jon as king ..so I think jon will be the one who survives..
I would like both of them to survive and take up that job

Apparently she does not ..
I do wonder how the prophecy of valonqor and YmBQ will come to play in this sirutaion ..

Do the people of Westeros really consider Daenerys as the legitimate heir to the throne ?
The last Targaryen king was a mad man who arbitrarily murdered people he did not like while his eldest son is mainly remembered for abducting and raping a young woman (and getting killed by Robert Baratheon). As for their ancestors… Between Baelor who starved himself to death to remain “pure”, Oris who fell victim to his brother’s treason and the cavalcade of deaths produced by the Dance of Dragons, the population has more than a couple of reasons to doubt the Targaryens’ suitability as monarchs.
Would they welcome Daenerys with open arms ? Hmm… It remains to be seen. Daenerys is used to be perceived as a saviour, celebrated as a “breaker of chains” by the slaves she frees. But Westerosis are not enslaved and she has yet to make clear what “wheel” she intends to destroy. To top it off, she comes supported by foreign troops infamous for their raping, murderous ways and she has three WMDs that vomit fire. I would not be surprised if the population of Westeros first thought of her endeavour as an aggressive foreign invasion.
Which would be interesting in and by itself because it could cause Daenerys to question herself and her purpose. Introspective Daenerys is my favourite Daenerys ! 😉
I believe we may be a bit too caught up in the “birthright” aspect of things which is not, in and by itself, suprising or illegitimate a concern considering the characters we follow and empathise with do care about this kind of things. However, we also have to acknowledge the pragmatic reality as the story sometimes does.
Cersei is not less legitimate to sit on the throne than her late husband Robert was : he won a war by killing the people who stood on his way (as did his wife); he ended up on the throne as a result of it (and so did she). The whole “Robert had Targaryen blood through his grandmother so he had a claim to the Iron Throne” spiel is a posteriori justification to maintain a semblance of continuity as the characters themselves at times admit : Cersei mentioned that Ned was the first to enter the throne room while King’s Landing fell and she openly stated that, had he chosen to sit on it, he would have become King of the Seven Kingdoms and maesters would probably have named the war “Ned’s Rebellion”. Yet, the Starks have no Dragon blood whatsoever…
Birthright is not the be all and end all of monarchy or legitimacy. After all, Aegon I and his sisters had no rightful claim over Westeros. What they did have was a trio of dragons and they were not afraid to use it. So they won and everybody ultimately bent the knee. ^^

They’ve basically taken all of the spoilers from here and L7R and added a few plot points here or there, some of which kinda make sense, but the vast majority are blatant gibberish.
To cap it all, the media outlets are trying to validate these by using Nathalies tweets about spoiling the show, when she was clearly referring to the leaked pics/vids we’ve been getting all week.

BTW, regarding wight-dragon. I don’t believe the Night King could reanimate a dragon out of the blue: first of all he has no means to kill a dragon and there was no setup making possession of such means believable. From what we saw so far dragons can be injured/killed with spears; ballistas would be very handy, but it’s the weapon of men, not the WW. Warlocks also had some ideas and/or means allowing them to incapacitate dragons at least temporarily (and warlocks appear in Euron’s entourage in the books); finally Qybur has discovered some reanimation technology (I guess he used the above-mentioned hand of the wight and somehow infected the Mountain with a sort of zombie-virus), and if he gets a dragon (dead or incapacitated by the warlocks), I can perfectly see him trying his invention on the dragon too. Whether it’s going to work I don’t know, but I can imagine that becoming the cause of Tyrion’s suicide mission to KL (he is the only person other than Dany that dragons trust).
One way or another, I think that the war for KL will turn into the war for dragons (one or two ow them) which will be lost around Ep 3 during Dany’s first encounter with Euron and Cersey and that will motivate Jon’s active involvement which will eventually pave him the way to the Iron Throne. That’s the only layout that makes sense to me, though I may be wrong about details.
IngaQuote Reply
Do we know that?
There’s been no indication in the show or books that “the people” consider Dany as the rightful heir at this moment.

I grant you that there seems to be an underswell against the current Lannister regime, or any “lordly” regime (that’s what the sparrows movement was/is all about, similar to “peasants revolts” in late medieval Europe), not necessarily for Dany, or anybody else, ATM.

This season basically everyone meets everyone! ?
Not quite. Sandor, the BWB, Sansa, Sam, Bran and Arya aren’t included. At least the first five had their respective reunions last season. I’m exceedingly keen that Arya, the heretofore Lone Wolf, be reunited with her family and friends (and direwolf, hopefully) at last.
Jenny: Cersei has ALWAYS been delusional. Jaime defenestrated Bran, but Cersei urged it. And she thought the ends justified the means of allowing the nobility and priesthood of Kings Landing be smithereened, as if those two moves would solve anything. She seemed to also think Joffrey was good, sweet, and worthy. But her biggest delusion is that she can and does outsmart everyone. In the short term she’s right, but at such anguishing cost. Long term, she’ll be proven wrong.
About the leaks: IMO they’re plausible and probably right in some particulars, but a stopped clock is right twice a day. They seem rather predictable and sentimental as well, though I find some of the plot turns satisfying.

I’ve been really excited about what I’ve read here, but today I certainly read too much by reading other’s posts. It’s LONG time to next summer and a LONG winter is ahead of us. I love WOTW cause I know if I read something here it’s honest, but all this talk about the “he-who-shall-not-be-named” leaks has caused so much controversy and I don’t want to spend the next 9 months reading pointless arguments. We can all agree that we will NOT agree on every scene and nuance in S7, but could we just tone it down for at least 6 or 8 months? I’d like to enjoy WOTW without the “debates” to put it nicely.

Aerys reign common folks where happy and the treasury was full ..
We have some people from river lands who wish the old king was alive in one of the Arya’s POV ..
He only did damage to ceerain lords and commonfolks never care about that..
And even in the rebellion he did have his supporters..
Its funny that his son is remembered for not the things you mentioned ( maybe you are influenced by the show ) but about good things and how capable he is .if they were hated so much I don’t know why Robert was in such a hurry to kill dany.
I guess we have to ignore aegon ,jahaerys,egg,daemon ,maekar.,etc
And we have people of old town drinking in the name of dany as the rightful heir .
Yes she does bring a powerful army ..yes there is no slaves to free…
But you know what is westeros full of ..damaged and suffered because of civil wars between the kingdoms and now currently ruled by a mad queen
How aweful dany comes to westeros with a powerful army who can quickly put an end to all the wars within the kingdoms overthrow a mad queen ..and most of the times don’t even need to go to battle to win ..which will in turn result people being happy
And speaking about those WMD’s spitting fire…they are scary enough people are looking forward to them or wishing to have them at the wall to help…and she brings them at the time when ice creatures who seem to be affected by only fire …

I love all of this but I’m absolutely most intrigued with how Jon leaves Dany. I didn’t really expect him to bow, but it’s exciting that he didn’t.

I would like to play devil’s advocate just a teeny wee bit (^^)
Cersei knew Joffrey was a monster. She refered to it on quite a few occasions with the prime example being when she told Tyrion : “you always hear the terrible ones were terrible babies. ‘We should have known, even then we should have known.’ It’s nonsense. Whenever he was with me, he was happy. And no one can take that away from me. Not even Joffrey. ”
She was very much aware of his pathological personality and behaviour; she might even have known she was responsible for some of it, by infusing her son with an overblown sense of self-importance and righteousness. But she loved him wholeheartedly and would have killed anyone who threatened him in any way, shape or form, regardless of how lamentable and dangerous she knew him to be.
On a broader note, Show Cersei is nowhere near as delusional as her Book counterpart. She can be quite astute when she takes the time to think things through. Like her father, she has an inbuilt sense of what the ruthlessness the feudal power system (which is, for all intents and purposes, similar to gang or mob warfare) relies on… To quote The Usual Suspects : “They realized that to be in power, you didn’t need guns or money or even numbers. You just needed the will to do what the other guy wouldn’t.”
Castamere… Sept of Baelor… ^^
Unfortunately, she also happens to be remarkably bitter and have little to no impulse control. So she takes everything personally and overreacts to the nth degree which tends to take her from one chaotic crisis to the next, making things increasingly worse along the way.

I may have misrepresented my own views but I do not believe I stated that everyone in Westeros will hate Daenerys on sight just because she is a Targaryen. I do not think that. Nor do I think that the Dragons have no loyal partisans left in the Seven Kingdoms. I am certain they do.
I was merely reacting to your hypothesis that the Westerosi population, as a whole, will acknowledge Daenerys as the rightful heir and greet her happily… While some may very well react in as positive a manner, others might feel justifiably ill-at-ease with her arrival.
– The Dothrakis do not have a good reputation in Westeros (nor do they deserve one, to be honest). They are known as raping, pillaging and murdering conquerors. They may have pledged to stop such practices but a) how confident are we supposed to be that they will not revert back to their ancestral customs ?; b) the Westerosi know nothing of that pledge; c) there are 10,000 Dothrakis. I believe the prospect of such an army being unleashed onto them would make many Westerosi nervous, at the very least.
– The dragons will be very useful against the White Walkers, of that there seems to be little doubt. However, from what we gather, the overwhelming majority of the Seven Kingdoms’ population knows nothing of the threat from beyond the Wall. All they will see, initially at least, are three fire-breathing machines that can and will turn them into shish kebabs.
– Robert wanting to kill Daenerys was indeed motivated by his desire to eliminate a potential claim on the throne (which Daenerys of course does have); however, it was equally brought forth by King Bobby’s hatred of anything Dragon and / or Rhaegar related.
As for the Targaryens’ legacy, some will stand by and celebrate it, some will be appalled by and condemn it. But I doubt there will be an immediate or even eventual popular consensus on the benefits of allowing another Targaryen on the throne.

Yeah, it would be MY preference for the end of the feudal lordships – because I haven’t seen that the common people are all that well-off in Westeros. But yes, let’s have at least the beginning of an enlightened era which indicate that could be a future direction. I guess I differ in my opinion from a lot of the posters here in that I don’t believe this elaborate series is ONLY about defeating the zombies… errr…. WWs. After spending 8 years, and 8 seasons, there has to be another, more lasting message – and just going back to lordships and Kings and Queens and courts, would fall quite flat for me. 🙂
If the Dragonpit scene is indeed in KL, then parts of KL would have been burnt by the time Daenerys lands in KL. So at least I would like a Cersei-free KL by the end of the season. I would much prefer it if the valonqar finished his business this season too, but if not, she should retreat back to CR, never to be seen at KL again.

I’ll take a shot at it. Jon was proclaimed King, people knelt before him. Jon, as of right now, is a legitimate King in the North. The Tyrells, The Martells and half the Greyjoys have sworn their support for Daenery Targaryen, they will support her claim to the Targ throne which just happens to be the throne of what was once known as the 7 Kingdoms. That is the key part, she, and Stannis for that matter, can proclaim themselves monarchs as often as they want but until one of them takes ownership of the seat of the King/Queen of the Westeros, the King/Queen of that Kingdom is whoever sits on the throne with a crown in his/her head. No one doubts that sooner or later Dany will be able to overthrow Cersei and reclaim “what’s [hers]” but until she does, she is as much Queen of Westeros as Stannis was King. This is not a slight against her. So try not to take it that way.

You keep throwing it out there and while I try to ignore it I just have to comment about it again. Your Dr. Qyburnstein’s Dragonmonster… it’s really the worst idea/theory you have imo. If that were to happen it may just be the most awful thing in the entire series. I mean, it would fall in the “oh my gawd that’s dumb” category if I had to watch it. Sorry, just honesty.
While I don’t believe what he’s done to animate The Mountain is the same thing as R’hllor (supposedly) giving back life or the wights, perhaps he could do the same with a dragon. Still, people have already thought the resurrection card has been played too much so I think continued monster making would be old from the start. The other question I made in a previous comment was why do you think that Qyburn, Cersei or anybody would be able to control this dragonmonster? Who’s to say that the dragon wouldn’t just rampage on everyone or even continue to obey Daenerys?
It’s also interesting that you think it’s more outlandish that the NK would be able to kill a living creature. He’s a magical being with weapons made of ice and can break spells by touching the ground for starters… I think he has the means to get it done.

Yes, this is what I mean by there being instances in the books of support shown to the old Targaryen regime, and, in this instance, among Citadel students (unusually educated, informed and interested in such matters), specifically for Dany. (And the Citadel students don’t actually agree on this point, but you conveniently left out the rest of the quote.)
It is not an overwhelming, common sentiment throughout the Seven Kingdoms at this point. I hope it will be, but at the moment it is not.

ACME,
I totally agree with all you said about Dany’s perception in Westeros and I think the costume designers made a conscious choice dressing Dany almost like Cersey. What is the difference between two squabbling queens? Haircut, – that’s what Westeros would say. So, yes hardly we can expect the people to rally behind her.
The one who they might rally behind is Jon. He is local, he has always been humble and modest, served the realm while others were tearing it apart etc. And his power is growing rapidly: he is the KITN with the Vale affiliated and the Riverlands can be expected to join his camp by mid season. Even the Stormlands might start looking at him (they should know that Brienne of Tarth serves the Starks), and the Reach is also not excluded: if Ollena and/or the Tarlies are killed, Jon’s best friend and promoter Sam may become quite influential.
As for the Crownlands and the Flee Bottom of KL in particular, Jon would be the most compelling choice too: basically a self-made man with a noble blood and a great reputation. And Gendry who is primed to become the voice and face of the Flee Bottom might see Jon as an inspiration for his own quest, and there is also a factor of Arya who could have told Gendry a lot of good things about her half brother.
All in all, I feel that it will be the Flee Bottom who will become an ultimate king-maker. Those who don’t like parallels with recent revolutions may check the Hussite Uprising or the story of John I of Portugal who clearly is Jon’s historical prototype.
And Jon is already playing front and center of the Team-Dragonstone.
So, it looks like we should prepare a new chant for him.

I do not think or wanted to say that everyone will accept dany and love her ..it’s impossible everyone to have same taste and ideas right..
I was just trying to say most people of westeros do recognize the claim of dany..Robert wanting to kill her also comes from the fear of recognising that claim ..
But that doesn’t mean she can walk and climb the throne while others stand up and step aside..
She must fight for it
Yes no one knows about WW but that will change this season..the same season dany will arrive..
Regarding dothraki I believe there are more than 10000 they will obey their TSWMTW and do as she say ….and if you look at it they are now being united ..lead by a female and crossed the poison water
..they are in for a change and they are changing for good .
On one one hand she has dothraki on the other hand she has unsullied who are comolete complete opposite of dothraki’s ..
So much is focused on how dothraki and ironborn and dragons and how they are viewed ..
Most of the time people fail to see what such a big army can do ..and how quickly it can end all the civil wars and be united to face a threat can kill everyone human

In GoT even magical powers are built on the basis of a certain setup. And as for the dragons, we saw that they were able to control dragons for a certain period of time: they were not spitting fire at them until their mommy told them to. So, what was the point of the HOTU plot? Show some visions and be done with that? And why would be the warlocks reappearing in Euron’s story? Just for fun?
And it’s pretty obvious that this season Dany will be losing some of her dragons to Cersey and Euron. How can Cersei be in control of KL in Ep 5, if Dany controls the air? How could Yara be captured, if Dany controls the air? Or you imagine that Dany will be sending her allies out without air coverage to have more time for hanging with Jon Snow on the battlements of Dragonstone? Thank you.

Well I don’t know when exactly this “leak” came out- oldest reference I can see is 5 days ago.
By which time a LOT of the believable stuff mentioned in it had already been revealed here or elsewhere.
The exception (which seems to lend credibility to it) are recent events we’ve seen in the last few days, but most of those events had already been predicted and discussed here at length- we’d guessed the locations that Zumaia etc would cover and many of these recent events are logical plot developments.
The rest is just plain fanwank.

Apollo,
So far a lot of things comes true. Sure, plot point, details or some things missing context but a lot of it’s true. Even the unbeliveable stuff such as mission North.
What did you expect. Jon and Dany to kiss or hug? They barely know each other. Jorah kissed her hand or bowed. Maybe both since they know each other.

Not necessarily. We only see them leaving on the same small boat. They’re not gonna row all the way to KL in that boat but will board larger ships out at sea. So they won’t necessarily be on the same ship or going to the same destination.

I’m sorry about that. I hope you return to the comments soon 🙁
People were told to cover their spoilers from the presumed leak and preferably to move all discussion about it to the forums… Few have done the latter, and most the former, but a few commenters don’t even bother with tagging their spoilers.
BE CAREFUL, please. Tag your spoilers if they are spoilers not discussed in the report. Preferably, move all discussion of the leak to the forums.

When I read it first, I thought no way D&D are doing this. It sounds ridiculous but it’s because of missing context. When you put it like that person did, it sounds 15 years old fanfic and I don’t blame your scepticism. I was there before you. Couple of things sounds cool but for example Jon’s name nah, that is something not many people will like.

I love that Gendry is back but I find it a wee bit cheese (maybe?) for Gendry to a have taken up Baratheon colors and I think there was a vid on this site of him with war hammer. Oh boy.
Ned raised Jon. He never gave him the Stark name but like Cat recounted in the books, Ned called him son for all the north to see. So that’s one thing. Robert, on the other hand, never knew Gendry existed. Would he have cared? More than likely, no.

Aw heck, I don’t care what colors Gendry wears, I’m glad he’s back. But why not? He almost died for being a Baratheon, even though few besides Melisandre knew of his bloodline. He might as well live as a Baratheon, imho. As far as what Robert would think, I think he would laugh his rotund ass off in delight that one of his offspring was lucky enough to survive the total calamity of Cersei, and let the world know that he, Gendry, is around to carry the Baratheon name. Oh my gosh, I called Gendry lucky for surviving. I hope that’s not a total jinx.
Also, if he is now an ally of Jon’s, that’s kind of a soothing thing, that a friendship between the Starks, Targaryans and Baratheons thrives to now make peace and protect the land, rather than tear it all apart because of personal pride. They will leave it better than they found it, which is what Dany declared as her goal.
ThronetenderQuote Reply
In this photo it appears as though Dany is crying. Clearly she is upset at Jorah’s leaving so him going more than likely is him being forced to go for some reason (obligation, honor, something that needs to be done that only he can do). The nights watch is decimated and might be in need of a new lord commander so this could be a final goodbye if Jorah is to fulfill his father’s wish. Or, for the battle north, Jon is in need of a general and Jorah also feels he needs to go.

Jon is a bastard Dany is not.
LET´S RAMBLE!
Dany is a Targ, officialy Jon is a Snow/Stark, if he conveniently switches to Targ then he is no king in the north. The North wants independence, Dany will give independence to whomever follows a new order (lets say new international pro social justice policy) because she conquers by ideology, she doesn´t need a united kigdom as long as they follow the ideology (the key to real unity, her treaty with the greyjoys stands for that), if jon claims the throne he loses the north to the true heirs Sansa and Bran, he can´t have both, he loses Dorne and highharden, the iron islands because they already chose Dany, with Dany he has them all plus probably casterly rock via tyrion and jaime, if jon claims the throne he loses the war for the dawn too because not even Dany will give 2 shits about such thing once she finds out about the long night, I mean she stayed in Mereen to help slaves and learn how to be a good ruler, Dany´s idea of ruling is to protect the common people against the powerful and she conquers by ideolofy first, if he claims the throne and Dany offers to fight against the long night just like she did with the masters then Jon is doomed.
Aegon conquered the 7 kingdoms, then his linage got the throne, Dany is his descendant and basically his second coming, Dany has right by conquest, any bastards claim is invalid against what the iron throne stands for but I´m pretty sure Dany will lose interest in the throne as soon as she sets a foot in Westeros. Jon´s claim is fan service and makes no sense story and character wise, people are chosing their leaders, she has Dorne, highgarden, the iron born and probably casterly rock via tyrion (we all know jaime may fall with cercie). Jon has the free folk, the north maybe the riverlands if edmure grows the fuck up and the vale thanks to Sansa. He has less warriors than Dany and no dragons or fleet. He needs to join her not to go on a power trip for the throne against her.
I think jon is super smart but the fanfictions about his claim and his ultimate hero role are super dumb. People expect dumb shit for him because they feel it will be satisfiying? A lot of people feel satisfied by dumb shit.

I agree that some of the “leaks” sound less than ideal…but the success of a filmed plot lies largely in the actual visual execution, not the reductive description; some of the best movies and series of all time have plots that sound, frankly, ridiculous if you simply relied in the verbal descriptions…it all depends on the actual execution…
As for the accuracy of the “leaks”, well, some of the things mentioned there match what has been filmed so far, and the “leaks” preceded the availability of the photographs, so, perhaps there was some basis in fact? Nothing so far that we’ve seen contradicts them…
Remember the “leaks” from last year? They were categorically denounced as fan fiction last year by the mods of multiple GOT sites, including this one; so far, crickets in regards to any comments on the veracity of these ones; take from that what you will…
GeorgeQuote Reply
Thank god someone noticed that. 😀 I was just thinking about that the other day. It gave me some ‘Oldboy’ vibes, LOL.
Honestly, I don’t have an issue with the Aunt/Nephew thing if that’s where things go, especially when this series had implanted incest from the very beginning. We didn’t bat an eye at the earlier generations of Targaryens hooking up with each other in an effort to retain their fire-bloodline. When you think of Aegon and his sisters conquering the land, no one is going EEEEEWWWW INCEST! Everyone is going ‘woah, bad-asses on dragons wielding cool swords. o_o ‘
We’ve also learned to appreciate Jaime and his redemption arc despite his intimate dealings with Cersei. We understand the extent of his loyalty and devotion to those he cares about, an ironic trait to have for a guy like him. We empathized with Jaime and his loss, even Cersei. We saw their children as human beings; not mere products of incest that deserved to die. Some of us even rooted for Cersei when she confessed to Septa Unella over her love to her family; she wouldn’t allow anyone to dictate her feelings, no matter the taboo. Even in the times we wish for Jaime to leave Cersei, it’s because we know she’s not good for him as a person. We’re more offended by Cersei’s actions, behavior, and words than her relation to him.
We’ve given GRRM plenty of credit for creating rich, fully dimensional characters despite any taboos that surround them. We’ve also accepted that this Westeros world will challenge us and our comfort zones. And yet… when a taboo act happens to OUR favorite character we suddenly flip our switch. Suddenly, the story “has gone too far”, “become predictable” or “got cheesy”. Suddenly, the writing is crap and we come up with a million reasons why it can’t go down this way.
But taboo things happen to anyone at any time. They don’t just conveniently happen to secondary characters, or the ‘bad guys’, or characters we aren’t invested in. Taboo acts don’t miraculously stop because we want them too. GRRM keeps the playing field open to anyone. Through his story and characters he proves no person is above taboo. He also reveals that some taboos are nowhere near as terrible as others. What people do in the privacy of their bedrooms is their business, not ours.
If Jon are Dany are meant to be together, so be it. And if their relationship sounds ‘predictable’ it’s because thousands of readers have had plenty of time to speculate over this possibility FOR YEARS. Hell, people whined about Jon’s true heritage, insisting R+L was too ‘predictable’. But it only *became* predictable because several readers who paid extra attention to the book’s details decoded the mystery years in advance for everyone.
If GRRM’s fantasy actually does incorporate a Dany/Jon thing, I suspect he’ll have to work THREE TIMES harder to make it work since enough people are ready to accuse this pairing as being predictable or cheesy. It doesn’t even matter if this was GRRM’s original vision/direction. People are ready to come down with the wrath of God if it ends this way. I find that kinda sad since the narrative should be free to go whichever way it needs to go.

He is actually stereotypical, he only writes it as if he wasn’t. When you are writing is never the what, is the how. In thousands of years of civilization, there is no story that hasn’t been told, no character you haven’t met before. The only new thing storytellers can do to seem original is to find innovative ways to tell you the same tale so that you can see it in a new light. Also you have it wrong, Jon and Dany may get together and even fall for one another but a happy ending for both is very unlikely. One will be sacrifice to the anti-cliche, anti-stereotypical Gods to appease the masses.

Why would Dany need 2 episodes to settle in KL? Makes no sense: what would she do?
IMO,
Ep 4 will be Jon’s arrival to Dragonstone and it’s aftermath;
Ep 5 will be Tyrion’s and Davo’s mission to KL and it’s aftermath (Gendry);
Ep 6 will be Jorah’s arrival and it’s aftermath (IMO, he will bring some crucial information that will enable a new plan of taking KL from within which is Dany’s favorite tactics, BTW). The episode seams to be closing with Jon’s team going on the mission. It’s pretty clear that he will be commanding the land operation, and I think that Dany will be following him on the dragon shortly afterwards to provide aerial support, when appropriate. Tyrion is a bit of a wild card: I expected him to go to KL with Jon, but apparently he will be having a task of his own.
As for Theon’s arrival, it may fit into Ep 5 or 6 but one way or another it will be a source of problems (Theon might bring Euron on his tail or something), but one way or another his arrival looks to be triggering some actions of the Team-Dragonstone: IMO that will be either Tyrion’s or Jon’s mission.
And one more thing I wanted to admit. Neither Varys, nor Grey Worm/Unsullied appear in any of the leaked scenes. We had one photo with them on set in costumes but based on the precedent with Sibel’s Kekilli (Shae’s) appearance in Meereen during the last season shooting Varys and Grey Worm on Dragonstone may simply be a decoy. IMO the Unsullied are made up to play the role of 300 Spartans and I expect them to do that during Dany’s first landing attempt: I expect them to die to the last man buying time for their Queen’s escape. As for Varys, it’s more complicated: in 610 he was on the same boat with the surviving crew (Dany, Tyrion, and Missandei), but they may part ways at some moment during the first landing attempt: Varys may go somewhere to meet his informers or something, and I expect him to be killed by his little birds whom Qyburn transformed into monsters.

I think it was in this thread that I wondered if Jon was leaving Dragonstone without the dragonglass…well, it looks like he managed to get some after all. In the updated pictures there are 2 rectangular boxes sitting on the beach next to the boat and in another picture from that Emilia Clarke website, Jorah is seen lifting one of those boxes into the boat. I think the dragonglass is in those boxes. Hopefully, Jon doesn’t lose this supply like he did his previous one.
Also I’m really curious who those men are that push the boat offshore. In some of the pictures, I see 2 of the Stark soldiers that arrived with Jon but these new dudes don’t look like Stark men. Something about them makes me think they’re Ironborn. I wonder if they are the men who arrived with Theon and remain allied with Dany, and maybe she sends them to accompany Jon and Co. on their mission.
I can’t wait to find out what spoilery goodness we get tomorrow.

Wow. 350+ comments and I’m the first to raise the question of what small object Tyrion is holding out to Jorah? Looks to me like it might be some sort of signet ring or the like – something that his siblings would recognize and know that Jorah was indeed bearing a message from their brother.

I’ve been looking through all the photos we’ve gotten since Saturday and the funniest thing I noticed is that the Dothraki warriors have been reduced to glorified bodyguards. These guys crossed the “poison water” for the promise of battle and glory but so far the most exciting thing they’ve done is filch Jon’s rowboat and sword. All they’ve seen is people arriving in little boats, shaking hands, and talking. Those guys stationed on Dragonstone probably feel a bit cheated.
(And yes, I know they will eventually see some real action. I just find it amusing that all they’ve done so far is stand around looking bored)

Hello. I am not posting any supposed leaks but i just want to add some possible explanations. An individual (s) was aware in advance of shooting on the set we have seen this past week in pictures. This person or persons was aware what actors are filming and what scenes. (So and so is arriving by boat and will be met by so and so.) However, the actual details and story still remain a mystery. From my understanding the original detail of these scenes when they were first posted either was later left out and replaced with a general outline after poster deleted their account. Also it is known fact that emilia and kit are filming in iceland in january. It was also proven on grrm official site that there are no ice dragons in the world of ice and fire. Ice dragons are included in the details. I am not trying to burst anyones hopes but the actual scripts themselves are kept under lock and key. Several people who work on set know what characters arrive by boat in advance of the actual shooting of the scene for example.But the details are an entirely different thing.

But still no one is worse than Cersei. She’s a burning sept if you get my drift…

Part of the problem with Bran has been that his book material post A Clash of Kings is limited because he enters into the position of knowing too much; his chapters are few and far between to avoid giving too much away. That is how we ended up with both the stay at Craster’s Keep in season four and Bran taking a year out in season five – the book material needed to be padded out. I think that D&D have now encountered a similiar problem in that too much time with Bran = the potential to give too much away to the viewer too soon. That said, now that we are entering the final stretch of episodes, we have to see more of Bran to establish the extent of his powers, and because what he knows is becoming imminently relevant. I believe Bran to be one of the main, end-game characters, so I think we will see more of him in season seven – and definitely more in season eight.
I also think the lack of screen time he gets is a shame, because both in the show and in the books, Bran is one of my favorite characters.

Yes these spoilers were posted a month ago. But my question is
can you tell me when they actually put that set together? I remember they mentioned row boats coming ashore. They mentioned casting actors for some scenes on a beach that ended up being the scenes they just filmed. At the time some believed it couldve been a battle scene but it was the scenes where characters were coming ashore. We are not talking actual filming but instead when they were preparing the filming site to film specific scenes. These actual preparations are different than filming.again i know people get really passionate about what they want to happen and i respect that. There are just some holes in this whole thing, thats all.

I would have loved to have seen Tormund interact with Team Daenerys also – particularly the Unsullied and Dothraki. It would be amazing to see! I think that Jon has probably left him at Winterfell – which means there is the potential we get some more Brienne/Tormund scenes (fingers crossed!) – or he has returned to the wildling encampment just south of Castle Black. I am hoping that it is the former. I loved the Brienne/Tormund scenes in season six (even though they didn’t exchange a word it was pure comedy genius) and I also think that Jon would want to keep at least one or two of the free folk at Winterfell to ensure that their voice is heard in his councils, and because they know what lies beyond the Wall better than anyone else at Winterfell (excepting, perhaps, Jon himself).

Jorah, a misunderstood and misread character, is pivotal in Daenerys’s political “education” and also as an advisor with a very practical mind (Barristan is too romantic, for example). Book-verse (somethings are true in show-verse as well): it is Jorah who tells her the people don’t give a fuck about royals, and always suffer at war; it is him who gives her the books with songs and histories from the 7 kingdoms and who explains her many things about Westeros and Essos; it is him who tells her she reminds him of Rhaegar, who was different from Aerys, from Viserys, was a good warrior…but lost a war, his life and a kingdom on the Trident. Without Jorah, she would not have the Unsullied – credit to her for the dragon plot twist, but apart from that it was all Jorah’s plot! –

Charlie Stark,
Similarly we can chalk it up all jon is now because of Ned and sam right..
Lets stop with this conqueror not a ruler thing… If you think show never touched jon’s ruling abilities same goes for dany as well..

Thanks for the info. Last year a poster leaked season 6 and this was back in november i believe. This person knew arya would be involved in a plot where she watches a play depicting the war of 5 kings but lannister s were the good guys. Her role was to infiltrate the play and kill someone. This leaker also said arya will kill the waif. This was interesting since some of this stuff happened in season 6 so this stuff was legitimate. but alot of his other leaks didnt even come close to happening. Thats why i wonder if there are people on set who know certain things so when they happen, we believe we know the entire season, then we are hit with the real show and we are shocked. Maybe i should row myself out to sea since ive been wrong on stuff in the past.

I would have said this is her landing scene if not for Davos..
So this must be another scene or davos is already there when dany arrives.
