Guess the Game of Thrones season 5 episode titles!

guessThis is a guest post and survey by WotW reader James Rivers. 

If the top parlor game ahead of a new season of Game of Thrones is theorizing which new characters will show up who weren’t publicized ahead of time, the runner-up is likely predicting the episode titles.

The 40 so far have included the obvious (“Blackwater,”) the
wink-wink-nudge-nudge to book readers (“Baelor,” “The Rains of Castamere,”) the double-entendre’d (“Kissed by Fire”), and now and then the misinterpreted-as-a-double-entendre-when-it-really-wasn’t (“Mhysa”). Unfortunately none are as straightforward as those that Friends used to do (or else the season two premiere would have been called, “The One Where Tyrion Crashes Joffrey’s Party”).

The early Season 5 episode titles could leak any day now, so before they do, let’s put our heads together and see what the WatchersOnTheWall community can collectively come up with.

It’s pretty simple: Fill in the blanks below. The survey will remain live until March 6th, at noon Eastern Time– or until the first batch of titles leak/are released, whichever happens first. Then we’ll compile the results and see how close everyone came to the mark. This Friday, we’ll reveal the results of the survey.

The survey is under the cut!

The survey will be accepted even with blank spots remaining if you’re stumped for a full ten, but why not toss in wild guesses if you aren’t sure. If you have ideas but aren’t certain which episode number the title might fall into, submit the title suggestions in any slot. At this point, episode order is incidental. We’re just having some fun here!

  1. Let’s get this show on the road.

    Ep. 501 – Valonqar
    Ep. 502 – The Griffin Rejected
    Ep. 503 – Fat Pink Mast
    Ep. 504 – Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    Ep. 505 – Fear Cuts Deeper Than Swords
    Ep. 506 – The Shy Maid
    Ep. 507 – The Roose is Loose
    Ep. 508 – The Long Night
    Ep. 509 – A Lion Still Has Claws
    Ep. 510 – For the Watch

    I’ve gotten a bit rusty on when what we know is happening is happening, but you get the point. There are a few joke ones thrown in too just so I didn’t leave any blanks.

  2. I would be the happiest woman in the world if we ever got an episode called “Fat Pink Mast.” I mean it’s not gonna happen but praise all the Gods if it did.

  3. It’s great that you put up this article! We suggested something like this the other day in the comments. I hope people participate. Let’s see how many we guess correctly!

    If it wasn’t for 1×10, “Fire & Blood”, I’d have guessed that’d definitely be the title of 5×10, both because of Dany and Doran. As for the others, I’ve guessed “Valonqar” for episode 1, “Sparrow” for episode 3, “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken” for episode 4, “Dead things in the Water” for episode 8, and “For the Watch” for episode 10.

  4. My best guesses

    Ep. 501 – House of Black and White, The
    Ep. 502 – Small Man with a Big Shadow, A
    Ep. 503 – Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    Ep. 504 – King at The Wall, The
    Ep. 505 – Sons of the Harpy, The
    Ep. 506 – Ghost in Winterfell, A
    Ep. 507 – Queenmaker, The
    Ep. 508 – Hardhome
    Ep. 509 – Walk Of Atonement
    Ep. 510 – Daznak’s Pit

    I concur that “Fat Pink Mast” would be the best episode title ever.

  5. Where’s Illyrio
    Where are the Greyjoys
    Only 3 sand snakes
    For the Watch
    Brienne and Pod’s incredible uncut adventure
    Where’s Aegon
    Winds of Winter
    Tyrion meets Dany but not Victarion
    Oh no we forgot about the north
    Ser Pounce first of his name

  6. Embarrassingly, I’ve already forgotten a few of the names I submitted. Fun idea, though!

    Here’s what I remember:

    The House of Black and White
    The Viper’s Daughters
    Sons of the Harpy
    The Rhoyne
    A Stark in Winterfell
    And Now My Watch Begins
    Hardhome
    The Dragon Queen
    The Brotherhood

  7. I’m waiting for an episode titled “The Rat Cook” or “Rhaegar, Jared and Symond” or more simply “Frey Pie” or “This should have been called The North Remembers but we used that too early”

  8. This is what happens – I don’t even want to be right anymore, I just want episodes titled “Fat Pink Mast”, “Frey Pie” and “Roose on the Loose”.

  9. I’m not completely up on what episode specific events happen, but here’s my entry:

    501 – Sons Of The Harpy, The
    502 – House Of Black And White, The
    503 – High Sparrow, The
    504 – Sand Snakes, The
    505 – Sorrows, The
    506 – Lord Of Winterfell, The
    507 – Lady Of The Vale
    508 – Walk Of Penance: Or (The Unexpected Virtue Of Ignorance)
    509 – Fire And Blood
    510 – For The Watch

  10. 1. Valonqar

    6. The Fall

    Episode 03 – Lord Commander
    Episode 04 – Aegon
    Episode 05 – Faith of the Seven

    Ep. 505 – Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken

    Ep. 507 – A Ghost in Winterfell
    Ep. 508 – The Realms of Men
    Ep. 509 – Fire Made Flesh
    Ep. 510 – The Fall

  13. “Roose on the Loose” sounds like it could be a series of black-humor webisodes chronicling Roose’s romps around the North.

    Please make this happen. Someone. I’m not creative enough.

  14. Darren,

    Good catch Darren with “Lady of the Vale.” We don’t know what’s happening in that storyline, and it may well be something at some point that deserves an episode title, just like “Mockingbird,” did.

    For that matter, I think “The Mountain and the Viper” may have had a double meaning; obviously it referred to the epic fight, but also we had a mountain, (The Eyrie) occupied by a total snake, (Baelish.) and possibly even a snake in training, (Sansa) Or maybe that was just me. Probably just me.

  15. 501 – Valonqar, The
    502 – Black and White
    503 – Lord Crow
    504 – Sons of the Harpy
    505 – Sorrows, The

    507 – Fall, The
    508 – Dead Things in the Water
    509 – Mortal Wound, The
    510 – Oathbreaker

  16. Hodor’s Bastard,

    Oh please. How people blow that out of proportion! More importantly, how would they “your sister” it? Even if you did try to do it, which I don’t know why you would, I don’t see any way to say it that’s more obvious in any way.

  17. Riothamus,

    Good point. Fire And Blood 2: Electric Boogaloo?

    Winnie,

    I wanted to have one for each of the major storylines and since I have no idea what’s going down in Sansa’s storyline this season, that seemed as vague / epic as anything.

  18. 1 – And Now His Watch Begins.
    2 – The House of Black and White.
    3 – Sons of the Harpy.
    4 – Swords and Stars.
    5 – Unbowed. Unbent. Unbroken.
    6 – Sorrows.
    7 – Hear me Roar.
    8 – The Ghost of Winterfell.
    9 – A Dance with Dragons.
    10 – Winter.

  19. Hodor’s Bastard,

    Well, I am a reliable butthurt 😛

    Arkash,

    Winter. I love it! If they follow the books on that (which could be logistically tricky, to be honest, filming in Croatia and all), I’d love them to make it a big deal, to turn it into a big dramatic moment.

  20. 1. Valonqar
    2. A Feast for Crows
    3. Sons of the Harpy
    4. Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    5. The Sorrows
    6. Oathbreaker
    7. The Ghost of Winterfell
    8. The Seven Pointed Star
    9. A Dance With Dragons
    10. Walk of Shame

  21. Yivo,

    I hate when people use book titles for episodes, it’s just so lazy and it’s quite obvious D&D would never do that so I don’t see the point.

  22. OrtMeyer,

    First time for everything my easily upset friend.
    Also, we seriously accusing people of laziness on a site dedicated to tv show news? Hardly a productive use of time for anyone involved.

  23. Ozymandias,

    I would certainly like Winter sometime.

    OT, but one good thing about the show getting into winter, means they can continue filming longer in the fall/winter without worrying about snow, and we may get extra episodes in Seasons 6&7!

    I’m also thinking sometime in Season 6 or 7, we’ll get “A Time for Wolves,” as an episode title.

  24. Ozymandias,

    If they use a title like that for the season six premiere, they might as well use the whole thing, from its source material: “The Winds of Winter” —a great title to follow the events at the end of season five, considering the two main events that are brewing in the North.

    Jon Snow may get stabbed this coming season or not —I’m betting he does. The Battle of Ice may take place this season or not —again, though this is a less popular prediction, I believe it will (that is, an adaptation of Stannis’ battle between the frozen lakes against the Freys and Manderlys; not the battle for Winterfell itself against the Boltons, which will come later by necessity, and not open TWOW.) Whatever the case, even if one of those events is postponed to the beginning or season six, or even if both are, “The Winds of Winter” would be a great title for the events themselves, not only their aftermath. Though, I admit, I prefer it as a “these are the consequences” kind of title, in which case “For the Watch!” and the Battle of Ice should happen in season five. Well, at least one of them.
  25. here’s mine:

    501 – Sons of the Harpy
    502 – House of Black & White
    503 – A King in the North
    504 – The Sand Snakes
    505 – If I Look Back, I’m Lost
    506 – The Bear & the Lion
    507 – A Ghost in Winterfell
    508 – Things in the Water
    509 – Daznak’s Pit
    510 – Daggers in the Dark

  26. Had a thought that The Gift would be a nice title with at least a couple of meanings.

    One that could work, and avoids being blatant, is A Sharpened Blade. Considering what we know of Edd, fetch me a block and Daario in Meereen.

  27. Luka Nieto,

    It’s more evocative, but it also makes it too obvious someone’s going to be assassinated. Which would be fine if the final episode has multiple assassinations I suppose.

  28. Luka Nieto,

    I’m confident that “For The Watch” is going to happen in the last episode, it’s the perfect Season Finale moment, people will be talking about it for months and for the first time even book readers will be left in the dark, imagine the amount of hype for the premiere of Season 6, it would be unprecedented.
  29. Here are mine:

    1 Valonqar
    2 The House of Black And White
    3 Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    4 The Sorrows
    5 The High Sparrow
    6 A Ghost in Winterfell
    7 The Queenmaker
    8 Hardhome
    9 A Dance with Dragons
    10 The Sword in the Darkness

  30. Ozymandias,

    I strongly disagree. I think D&D don’t want fans to wait a year

    to find out if Jon is really dead or not. I think it will happen in Season 6 and we’ll get resolution on it before the end of that season.
  31. Dame Pasty,

    And what about the prophesied “battle in the ice”? Certainly you believe it’s gonna be in season six, right? If you believe “For the Watch” ain’t happening until next year, what do you think the climax will be for any of the Northern plots? Wintefell, Stannis, the Wall?
  32. 1. The Hand
    2. Him of Many Faces
    3. Sparrows
    4. Lion in the Sand
    5. Sorrows
    6. A Ghost in Winterfell
    7. Hear Me Roar
    8. Hardhome
    9. Daznak
    10. Exodus

  33. Luka Nieto:
    Joey,

    Exodus? What is that about?

    I’ve been guessing episode 8 as Exodus for a while now as I thought it would be the episode where the wildlings go south of the wall. Since Hardhome seems confirmed to be episode 8 now I moved it to the finale.

  34. Listed in order of likelihood:
    Valonquar (premier)
    Mercy
    Dracarys (Finale)
    A Ghost in Winterfell
    Hardhome
    Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    For the Watch
    The Queenmaker
    Bronn and Jaime in the Mooorning

  35. Ozymandias,

    I think they’ll have Jon assassinated all right this season; but then we’ll see Mel revive him somehow. Yes that would be outpacing the books, but we all know they’re gonna do that anyway this season.

  36. Joey,

    Hm. I’d have guessed it would happen before that, not after.

    We’ll see! 😉

    Winnie,

    Use your spoiler tags, man!

    I know, this is a spoilery article in nature. Just in case.

  37. How fun is this? Great ideas. I’m stealing a few!

    501: Prophesy and Destiny
    502: Black and White
    503: Wherever Whores Go
    504: Sacrifice
    505: Ghost of Winterfell, A
    506: Queenmaker
    507: Words are Wind
    508: Hardhome
    509: She Walks, She Flies
    510: For the Watch

    Syrio Fo-real,
    🙂

  38. The only episodes I feel like I know enough about to venture a meaningful guess are the first two:

    501 – Valonqar (I’d honestly be a bit surprised if this wasn’t the title)
    502 – The House of Black and White

  39. Do we know that Arya will not be in episode 1, yet again? I’d love to see her arrive to Braavos in the premiere. Or are people assuming the HoB&W won’t be properly introduced until episode two?

    Hodor’s Bastard,

    Wherever whores go? How? 😛

  40. 1 Valonqar
    2 The House of Black And White
    3 Faith of the Seven
    4 Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    5 Sons of the Harpy
    6 A Ghost in Winterfell
    7 The Queenmaker
    8 Grumpkins, Snarks and other Monsters
    9 Dracarys
    10 For the Watch

  41. Luka Nieto,

    From the spoilers, she appears to have been turned away from the House at first, and only gets in in episode 2. That may all happen within episode 2, though many, myself included, think the first part will be in episode 1.
  42. I think Arya will definitely be in Ep. 1. We know Jaime is in KL in Ep. 1, and I’d expect Dorne to be introduced through him and I can’t see them waiting to introduce both Dorne & the House of Black & White until Ep. 2 or later.

  43. Ep 1. House of 1000 Corpses
    Ep 2. Mushrooms in my Pocket
    Ep 3. Pickled Aemon
    Ep 4. Don’t Tread on Nimble Dick
    Ep 5. Bastard Beats a Wench in Winterfell
    Ep 6. Who the Fook Keeps Voting for Edd?
    Ep 7. Nice Helm, I heard You Were…
    Ep 8. Mother Mole’s Last Stand
    Ep 9. Nice Teats, Brother Fucker
    Ep 10. Something Smells Like Burnt Hair and Diarrhea
  44. Luka Nieto,

    Oh…as you know, I’m stuck on that phrase. Plus,

    they could work it in as an homage during Jorah and Tyrion’s plot arc commiseration!

    Sean C.,
    I agree.

  45. Great topic!

    I went with:

    1 – House of Black and White
    2 – Lord Commander
    3 – The Sorrows
    4 – Cat of the Canals
    5 – Sons of the Harpy
    6 – Queenmaker
    7 – Faith of the Seven
    8 – A Broken Knight
    9 – Walk of Shame
    10 – The Pit

  46. 1) The Valonqar
    2) Where do whores go?
    3) Vow of honor
    4) Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    5) The Broken Man
    6) Bael the Bard
    7) Last Winter
    8) Dead things in the water
    9) The Pit
    10) Ghost

  47. 1. Valonqar
    2. Unbowed Unbent Unbroken
    3. The Shy Maid
    4. Queenmaker
    5. A Ghost in Winterfell
    6. The North Remembers
    7. High Sparrow
    8. Only Dragon You Need
    9. Blood for Fire
    10. For the Watch

    Wishful thinking if Aegon, Arianne, and Manderly was in lol

  48. Not sure about my order, but I’m pretty sure these will be in there:
    1. Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken. House Martell is being introduced, so I think they’ll have the title, “Valonqar” isn’t causual enough for D&D, I think.

    -The Faith Militant (Or High Sparrow)
    – The Walk Of Shame (or something similar)
    -Cat Of The Canals
    -Daznak’s Pit (can’t see any other good names for that event)

    No idea on names for Sansa’s, Tyrion’s, Jon’s or Reeks storyline. Ghost of Winterfell is too much like Prince of Winterfell, and they might not focus on it (might seem too similar to Jaqen’s murders). Names like Hardhome or any part of the vow just seems like it’s random (although it might be the best we have). Might be For the Watch.

  49. Turncloak,

    Ghost. Woah, people keep making up cooler names than “For the Watch.” This may be the best, at least if they followed the books and that was the last piece of dialogue in the scene.

  50. Turncloak:
    1) The Valonqar
    2) Where do whores go?
    3) Vow of honor
    4) Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    5) The Broken Man
    6) Bael the Bard
    7) Last Winter
    8) Dead things in the water
    9) The Pit
    10) Ghost

    Don’t think they’ll use the Where do the whores go. Love the positivity of Bael the Bard thingy being in! I wish I believe it myself. Can’t think of what The Broken Man can refer. What did you have in mind?

  51. I haven’t really looked at any results much yet, but wonder if it will be Valonqar or the field, as they say on Derby Day, as the most-answered for 0501.

    Thanks to Sue for doing this!

  52. Other rejected ideas:

    505 – Faceless
    506 – Cat
    507 – Mayhaps
    508 – Walk of Shame
    509 – I Fell Into The Pit / Nymeria
    510 – Mother

    “For The Watch” is a great title, but I also thought “The Shield That Guards The Realms of Men” was cool. They really like “The ___ and The ___” where the blanks are animal nicknames or sigils. So:

    1. The Princess and The Frog
    2. The Lion and The Arrow
    3. The Chicken and Egg
    4. The Maid and The Titan
    5. The Bear and The Lion
    6. Unicorns and Cannibals
    7. The Bridge and The Wind
    8. Fire and Snow
    9. Sapphire and Stone
    10. The Sword or The Noose

  54. Tormund’s Woman: Don’t think they’ll use the Where do the whores go. Love the positivity of Bael the Bard thingy being in! I wish I believe it myself. Can’t think of what The Broken Man can refer. What did you have in mind?

    The Broken Man is a speech given by Septon Meribald in AFFC. http://youtu.be/0sjZHxEZnmE

    In the show I can see The High Sparrow giving that speech

  55. Anybody else see the new trailer on HBO? It’s pretty much the same trailer but I did see a few new scenes (not much).

  56. Crap now I forgot mine lets see…

    1-Valonqar (Out of all the titles this one seems like one of the most likely because it has multiple meanings.)
    2-Swords and Stars (There has to be a faith militant related title)
    3-The Sorrows (Again could have a lot of meanings and fits with timeline)
    4-Queenmaker
    5- Sons of the Harpy (This is definitely the most likely title if I had to put money on a title this is the one I’d bet on)
    6-Cat of the Canals
    7-Darksister (based on the Targaryan sword and Sansa/Arya?)
    8-Dead Things (In the water seems like its too wordy and wont be able to have multiple meanings)
    9-Unbent, Unbowed Unbroken (I think this is a good title considering the events we know will happen)
    10- The Sword in the Darkness (Could be extra fitting if we get the line “Sword!” fingers crossed)

  57. TorbofThrones:
    “Valonqar” isn’t causual enough for D&D, I think.

    They’ve used both “Valar Morghulis” and “Valar Dohaeris” already, so “Valonqar” isn’t out of place.

  58. Turncloak,

    Oh, I know that speech. I love that speech! Somehow I never knew that’s the name for it. Considering how HS is portrayed in the books, some version of it might work actually. The Lord of Light and The Hound part won’t be in. (Voice sounds like NWC)

  59. JJames,

    A new(-ish) trailer? Really? Wouldn’t have we known about it?

    Turncloak,

    Hadn’t considered that the Broken Man speech could be delivered outside of Brienne’s storyline, but of course it could, and the High Sparrow may make sense. I hope it’s included. It doesn’t have to be in Season 5, to be honest —it could’ve been in any of the past seasons and it can be in the last two. I just wanna hear it.

  60. 1. The Lion, the Frog, and the Spider
    2. No One
    3. Sparrow
    4. And Now His Watch Begins
    5. Dude, Where’re My Greyjoys?
    6. Queenmaker
    7. Bread and Salt
    8. The Sword in the Darkness
    9. First of Her Name
    10. For the Realm

  61. I made a point of submitting before reading the comments, but some of you have much better ideas than me. Let’s wait and see.

  62. Bosk,

    No One. Another cool title I don’t think anyone has suggested. Much better than any of the other ones related to Arya —”Cat of the Canals”, “The House of Black and White.” “No One” is more evocative, me thinks.

  63. 1. Valonqar
    2. The House Of Black And White
    3. The Warriors Sons
    4. And Now His Watch Begins
    5. Unbowed,Unbent,Unbroken
    6. The Sons Of The Harpy
    7. A Ghost In Winterfell
    8. The Long Night
    9. The Walk
    10. For The Watch

  64. OK so I took some great suggestions and tried to add my own.

    1 – Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    2 – Faceless
    3 – The High Sparrow
    4 – Sons of the Harpy
    5 – The Sorrows
    6 – Ghost in Winterfell
    7 – The Faith
    8 – Ice
    9 – Fire
    10 – Sacrifice

  65. I am betting 5×09 is ‘The Mortal Art’

    “At the gates of Daznak’s Pit two towering bronze warriors stood locked in mortal combat. One wielded a sword, the other an axe; the sculptor had depicted them in the act of killing one another, their blades and bodies forming an archway overhead.
    The mortal art, thought Dany.
    She had seen the fighting pits many times from her terrace.”
  66. The new trailer was on HBO go. I played the new episode of Girls and it came on before the episode aired. There was different music playing. I swear there are a few added scenes. But I could be wrong. Someone watch it and let me know

  67. 1. Valonqar
    2. The House of Black and White

    9. Daznak
    10. Blood of the Dragon

    Don’t worry, I remembered to put “The” and “A” at the end of the relevant entries when I was filling out the actual survey. It just looks strange when it’s actually typed out that way.

  68. JJames,

    Can someone confirm this?

    Maybe it’s a rearrangement of the trailer? Was it shorter? Did any new scene stand out? You said a couple new ones, a few times now, but you haven’t specified. Nothing specific jumps to mind, at all?

    This seems really strange to me.

  69. I stand corrected. It’s not a new trailer. Just a rearranged one from earlier. The song is different. I thought I saw a few new scenes of Hardhome but after rewatching the original, they were all ready shown. I apologize. It kinda threw me off, as I had not seen or heard anything about a different trailer
    Luka Nieto,

  70. JJames,

    Well, plenty of people complained about the song, so hey, maybe at least this version will be better received.

    … I want a new trailer, tho 😛

    (Stannis’ offer for Jon, Roose and Theon)

  75. Already gave some titles that I thought might be in, but after thinking about the books some more, this is probably more likely:

    501 Words are Wind

    502 A Highborn Maid of Three-and-Ten, With a Fair Face and Auburn Hair

    503 More Useless Than Nipples on a Breastplate

    504 Tyrion Waddles

    505 A Highborn Maid of Three-and-Ten, With a Fair Face and Auburn Hair, Have You Seen Her?

    506 Words are Wind

    507 Tyrion Waddles Some More

    508 No Seriously, I’m Looking For My Sister, A Highborn Maid of Three-and-Ten, With a Fair Face and Auburn Hair. Please For the Love of the Gods Tell Me If You’ve Seen Her?

    509 Tyrion Keeps Waddling

    510 Words are Wind

  76. Mine were:
    501. Black and White
    502. And Now His Watch Begins
    503. High Sparrow, The/or Sparrows/or Warrior’s Sons, The
    504. Sand Snakes, The
    505. Sorrows
    506. Sons of the Harpy, The
    507. Ghost in Winterfell, The
    508. Queenmaker(s)
    509. Pits, The
    510. Winter Has Come/or Winter is Here/or (unlikely) Winds of Winter, The

  77. 1 – Freedom
    2 – Lord Commander
    3 – Feast for Crows, A
    4 – Burning Hand, The
    5 – Nobody, I am
    6 – Queenmaker
    7 – Ghost of Winterfell, The
    8 – Hardhome
    9 – Walk of Punishment, The
    10 – Daznak’s Pit

  78. I think Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken is a perfect title for episode 9. First we will have Cersei ironically being broken. Then we will have dany facing a fricken dragon and being unbroken and unafraid. Then we will probably have a crazy dorne reveal that Trystane is really Aegon?! Idk it seems like a pretty good title for the best episode of the season. Also I kind of am looking forward to Hotah killing Bronn. I think it would be a good Game of thrones moment. That the rather cocky sellsword understimates some household guard who just detroys him with no emotion. Not to mention the guard isnt even a villain or anything just someone doing their job. And I also dont care for Bronn’s story anymore without tyrion maybe he can give his great one liners to jaime.
  79. Luka Nieto,

    Yeah I can see what they’re talking about when I view Girls on HBOGo right now. The music on the trailer there is some generic classical trailer music, not memorable – doesn’t sound like Djawadi. Placeholder stuff. All the same footage. Not sure why they switched it.

  80. Luka Nieto,

    The footage is all the same, but am I crazy or does it look a bit more color corrected? Looks like the blues are a bit richer and contrast more with the orange/red/yellows.

  86. The Lion Lord:
    510 – Snowfall

    That one got to me. Cool. I can see the snow falling heavily during FtW. That’s gonna be an amazing and quite distressing scene, followed by “Winter” by the Rolling Stones during the end credits, with the white snow turning red. 🙂

  87. The new trailer music is infinitely better. It isn’t perfect like The Foreshadowing, but what is? Heroes was too loud, cheesy, and distracting. It’s the worst cover since Sigur Ros. The instrumental is subtle and dramatic and gets me excited for things to come.

  88. I decided to stop reading through the thread, because I like so many of the titles, the more I read, the more my own titles escape my mind. I would give almost anything for an episode entitled “Fat Pink Mast!!!” I also love “The Roose is Loose,” in part because then there could be a subsequent episode, one where Roose meets Dany, and it could be called “The Roose, the Roose, the Roose is on Fire (we don’t need no water let the motherfucker burn…)”

    I also can’t keep track, or don’t entirely know, what is going ot be in each episode, so my incomplete list:

    Episode 1 – Golden Shroud, The
    Episode 2 – Faceless Man, The
    Episode 3 – Viper’s Nest, The
    Episode 4 –
    Episode 5 –
    Episode 6 –
    Episode 7 –
    Episode 8 – Night’s King, The
    Episode 9 – Dracarys ~or~ Penance
    Episode 10 – For the Watch (it has to be)

    I know you said it’s ok to leave some blank, but I feel a bit lame leaving 4 of them blank, I just don’t know/can’t guess/remember what’s supposed to happen in those.

  89. Rygritte,

    For the second trailer I really hope they will use something along the lines of “Seven Devils” and “Bones” that’s the type of song that suits the show best.

    “Jetta – I’d Love To Change The World” would have been great but it’s overused now.

  90. Here goes…

  94. I just don’t see them using any of the book titles for their episodes, like A Feast for Crows or A Dance with Dragons. They have gone four seasons without using them; I can’t see them starting now.

  95. Also as much as the “Valonqar” to describe that one character is awesome in the books, I am not so sure the show will want to spend much time focusing on teaching people what that word means. Valar Morgulis is pretty essential to multiple story lines, but that character won’t share this information with a single person which is why they need a flashback. Though it is possible the word Valonqar could show up, I doubt they would make it the title. I think Black and White is much more likely for the first episode, because it could be more applicable to multiple story lines. But it would be awesome.

  96. When season 7 gets a second half lets say split into two sets of 7 episodes they should do all the book titles for the last 7 episodes

  97. deekan,

    Valonqar is a sibling i think it can be either brother or sister thats younger. So it can be describing a lot of people since the first episode will feature the scene its used some arya moments, something with tommen, dany etc. It applies to a lot of people.

  98. I will just put what I did on afoiaf a few weeks ago…

    1. Valonqar
    2. Unbowed
    3. Sparrow
    4. No One
    5. The Sorrows
    6. Oathbreaker
    7. Queenmaker
    8. Hardhome
    9. The Pit
    10. Ghost

    I like em short!

  99. I really only feel confidant in guessing Valonqar for the premiere and Hardhome for 508. Though we have a pretty decent idea of what will be happening when in some of the storylines, beyond those two, I don’t know what will be focused upon enough to merit naming the episodes after other than those two parts of 501 and 508.

    Every year there are a few ep. titles that fans were able to guess and a few that no one could’ve come up with. A ton of fans guessed “the Mountain and the Viper” last year for instance or “the Watchers on the Wall” or “Breaker of Chains” but no one suggested “Two Swords” or “the Children”. So I imagine some of what’s been said here will come to fruition and some won’t make as much sense until we see the eps. themselves.

  100. Crabber’s Son,

    Yeah, I mean it is totally possible as a title, but because of

    Cersei’s unchatty nature, I think it would make it difficult to describe the significance of the actual word unless they have Maggy literally put in a side note saying Valonqar means little sibling; but I can’t even see Cersei divulging this secret to even Jaime.

    But it IS possible, maybe even likely. Though I am leaning towards thinking that they might just say younger sibling, which would be lame, but that is just what I think.

  101. 1 Valonqar
    2 No One
    3 The Faith
    4 The Lion and the Snakes
    5 The Sorrows
    6 Black and White
    7 The Queenmaker
    8 Hardhome
    9 The Dragon and the Harpy
    10 The Daggers in the Dark

  102. ace,

    Yeah…but she had a translator to convey the meaning to the audience. Once again, it is totally possible that Maggy could translate the word. I just don’t see it as likely, and even if they do, there is still the difference between the word being mentioned on the show and it being the title of the episode. It is possible, but I believe the first episode will also have

    Arya arriving at the House of Black and White, because I feel she will be one of the major focuses of the season for once and they’ll want to get here arc rolling fast.

    And if I had to chose between those two, I personally think Black and White is more likely as a title–but not the house of black and white because that would narrow the meaning down to a single character arc.

  103. 1. Valonqar
    2. The House of Black and White
    3. Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    4. Sons of the Harpy
    5. The Sorrows
    6. Cat of the Canals
    7. A Ghost in Winterfell
    8. Hardhome
    9. Daznak
    10. For the Watch

  104. 5.01 – Valonqar
    5.02 – The House of Black and White
    5.03 – The Faith Militant
    5.04 – The Sons of the Harpy
    5.05 – Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    5.06 – No One
    5.07 – Queenmaker
    5.08 – A Ghost in Winterfell
    5.09 – Penance
    5.10 – The Mother

  105. I am pretty sure that the rumored episode in which “Sansa does something important” should be called “Hour of the Wolf.” Due only to my suspicion about what that thing might be and when it might take place.

  106. Valonqar is definitely in the running, as well as some sort of reference to the Faith Militant, whether it be in reference to the Faith Militant, the Sword and Stars, or Warrior’s Sons which will involve the pledging with the High Sparrow. It seems only logical in the HBO format that a strong power should rise from almost nothing right on top of Cersei, and the same thematic events will occur in S5 with the Sons of the Harpy in Meereen and the continuation of the Hizdahr zo Loraq plot line.

    Hype train engaged.

  107. Oh, fun fact if not already mentioned: the writers have explained that they actually name the episodes very late in production. So when the cast gets a script that says “Episode 501” that isn’t because the name is a secret – it’s just because they haven’t picked one yet.

  108. A Feast for Crows
    The Seven-Pointed Star
    No One
    Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    The Sorrows
    A Ghost in Winterfell
    Where Whores Go
    Cold Winds Rising
    Daznak
    The Winds of Winter

    This is my guess for now, though the last one may be giving too much away, and Episode 9 could do with a more badass name. At the same time, the probable lack of fAegon makes the Sorrows less impactful. Also considering we don’t know what’s up with Sansa she may get a title.

    On a different note, definitely think “For the Watch” is happening. This is because of Hardhome playing a major part, and it being an exciting way to end the season. In fact they could troll us Sullied even by including some of the aftermath. This is also supported by the casting of Bowen Marsh and even Kit Harrington’s haircut. Definitely something for the season finale. The Walk of Shame is probably going to be in the finale also, but could conceivably be in episode 8 due to balance. Who knows what’s going on with Brienne and Sansa…

  110. Ricardo777,

    Kit’s haircut means nothing. There’s been photos comparing his hair with post-season 1 and 2 hair, and it looks the same.

  111. My best guesses:

    1. Legacy
    2. The wall is yours

    4. Silence

    6. The Merman’s court

    8. Atonement
    9. The Dragon and the Harpy
    10. Little Birds

  112. Not sure if anyone posted this already and is awaiting moderation, but here’s a little teaser from Anthrax on their song for Catch the Throne. Scott mentions The Mountain, so I guess the song will be about him.

  113. 1 – the house of black and white
    2 – The seven pointed star
    3 – 998
    4 – Unbowed unbent unbroken
    5 – the pleasure houses of Lys
    6 – Queenmaker
    7 – lamprey
    8 – hard home
    9 – Walk of punishment
    10 – Dazhnak’s pit

  114. If it follows the books

    1) Where do whores go? Part 1
    2) Where do whores go? Part 2
    3) Where do whores go? Part 3
    4) – 9) etc etc
    10) Where the fuck did my story go?

  115. Hoping one of the episodes is called “Egg”, just some nice fan service 🙂 and so I can cry already before hand (if the pyre in the trailer is what I think it is).

  116. Ricardo777:
    A Feast for Crows
    The Seven-Pointed Star
    No One
    Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    The Sorrows
    A Ghost in Winterfell
    Where Whores Go
    Cold Winds Rising
    Daznak
    The Winds of Winter

    This is my guess for now, though the last one may be giving too much away, and Episode 9 could do with a more badass name. At the same time, the probable lack of fAegon makes the Sorrows less impactful. Also considering we don’t know what’s up with Sansa she may get a title.

Definitely something for the season finale. The Walk of Shame is probably going to be in the finale also, but could conceivably be in episode 8 due to balance. Who knows what’s going on with Brienne and Sansa…

    Sorry to ask, but what about his haircut?

  117. As an Unsullied fan, I just can think of a few that might come up.

    In no order:

    House of Black and White
    Snakes of the Viper
    The Lion, The Spider, and The Dragon
    A Stark Heart (no not Lady Stoneheart appearing, but imo Sansa will share a few of her storyline)

  118. Waxfoot,

    Good one!

    As someone has pointed out before, I’m sure we’ll guess a few of them, while others will be completely new. Let’s think back to Season 4: “The Lion and the Rose”, “Breaker of Chains”, “Oathkeeper”, “Mockingbird”, “The Mountain and the Viper”, “The Watchers on the Wall” —all of them were guessed to be episode titles at one point or another, before they were announced. A few others were not, however: “Two Swords”, “First of His Name”, “The Laws of Gods and Men”, “The Children.” The same goes for previous seasons. So, we may guess a few (in my opinion, suggestions such as “Valonqar” and “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken” or “The Dornishman’s Wife” may make the cut), but I’m sure there’ll be some surprises still that none of us have managed to guess. I’m eager to see what the polls show, and even more eager to learn the true titles, which I hope we’ll have (at least some of them) soon enough.

  119. My guesses:

    1-Valanqar
    2-Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    3-Sons of the Harpy
    4-Cat of a Different Coat, A
    5-Sorrows
    6-Oathbreaker
    7-Ghost in Winterfell, A
    8-Hardhome
    9-Lion and the Dragon, The
    10-For the Watch

  120. Balerion The Cat,

    Everyone’s suggesting Oathbreaker, which is a nice parallel to Oathkeeper, but what is it referring to? Most people place it around the middle of the season. Am I missing something?

  121. 1) Bloody Frog, The
    2) Cunt’s Needle, The
    3) Sparrow is high, The
    4) Speared Pussies on the Sand, The
    5) Pixie in the Ruined City, The
    6) North barks again, The
    7) Every slave needs its master
    8) Harlot’s promenade
    9) Towhead, puke my fire back
    10) Frozen birdbrain, The

  122. 1) The Valonqar
    2) No one
    3) The Sparrows
    4) The Ghost in Winterfell
    5) The Sand Snakes
    6) The Stinking Rose
    7) Nymeria
    8) Hardhome
    9) The Walk
    10) The Brothers

    yes, words are wind.

  123. Luka Nieto,

    Not really, I didn’t know what to use for episode 6 and I thought that something like Oathbreaker could work. I don’t know what will happen with Brienne in season 5, but I thought that

    she can’t be chased by the knights of the Vale all season and maybe that’s when she decides to stop looking for the Stark girls thus breaking her oath to Catelyn

    I thought people using it for 509 or 510 were referring to Jon’s last chapter (pink letter and consequences) and Brienne (“SWORD!”) and maybe another storyline I can’t make the connection with…

  127. Nymeria Warrior Queen:
    Roose meets Dany, and it could be called “The Roose, the Roose, the Roose is on Fire (we don’t need no water let the motherfucker burn…)”

    LOL Excellent title but I think

    The Roose’s goose is cooked with Stannis.
  128. 5.01 – The Prophecy (or Valonqar)
    5.02 – The Sand Snakes
    5.03 – Swords and Stars
    5.04 – The Sorrows
    5.05 – Faceless
    5.06 – The Queenmaker
    5..07 – Sons of the Harpy
    5.08 – Daggers in the Dark
    5.09 – Walk of Atonement
    5.10 – Winds from the North

  129. Jon Black: 5.09 – Walk of Atonement

    It’s just plain weird to see episode titles for 509 that totally ignore that it involves

    a spectacular surprise involving the Queen of Meereen and a big dragon.
    The only walk in this episode will be to get aboard and tell a certian zaldrīzes “sōvegon”.
  130. Just thought of “The Prince that was Promised” for ep10 – or would that be more appropriate for S6?

  131. 1. I shall wear no crowns

    2. The House of black and white

    3. Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken

    4. Mother Rhoyne

    5. Princess of Thornes

    6. A King for a dragon

    7. Hardhome

    8. The Ghost of Winterfell

    9. The Walk

    10. A bear and a dwarf so fair

  132. 501 – That’s Alright
    502 – Baby, Let’s Play House
    503 – Heartbreak Hotel
    504 – Don’t Be Cruel
    505 – Love Me Tender
    506 – Mean Woman Blues
    507 – Jailhouse Rock
    508 – Are You Lonesome Tonight
    509 – You’re The Devil In Disguise
    510 – Crying In The Chapel

    Behind The Scenes Special – Elvis Left The Building

    If those become episode titles…. I’ll join the Night’s Watch!!
    Damn! I have already!! The choice was tough? Not really. An eternity of hearing Golden Oldies Radio (mostly playing Elvis) or taking The Black? Which would you choose?

  133. I always hope for titles taken from memorable book phrases rather than leaning too heavily on place names/house words. Wishing for “Fire Made Flesh” for Daznak and “And Now My War Begins” for Hardhome.

  134. 5.01 – Valonqar
    5.05 – The Cat of the Canals
    5.07 – Hardhome
    5.08 – Spiced Locusts The Pit
    5.09 – Walk of Punishment
    5.10 – For The Watch

  135. zod,

    Where exactly? Can’t find it.

    If you mean the pic of Arya with Needle on an alley, it’s not new.

  136. Luka Nieto,

    Not entirely sure this is new actually, since I haven’t been following the news as frequently as previous years, but…on HBO.com just click on the GOT thumbnail below. They used it as a background for their GOT page.

    If you mean the pic of Arya with Needle on an alley, it’s not new.

    Ha! My bad.

  137. Balerion The Cat,

    Yeap, excluding premieres and finales, only 1×08 and 3×07 were so long. This and the previously released running times bode well for the season, don’t they? Hopefully it will be the longest one yet!

    We already know about half the season, so maybe we can extrapolate and assume the latter half is just as long, and see if that makes it the longest season yet. Does anyone have the list of the five episodes we know about? It was around here, in a recent article…

  138. Luka Nieto,

    I just realised that so far, runtimes shown on HBO Latino (episode 1 and 2 of season 5) are 1 min shorter than the ones on HBO.com, so that would make episode 3, 60 mins , 1 min longer than The Pointy End and The Bear and The Maiden Fair.
    So yeah, hopefully the rest of the episodes follow the trend 😀

  139. Daggers in the dark Should be up there.

    Could apply to many Night’s watch and Braavos storyline, and who knows Sandsnakes, Dark Sansa, whatever Brienne is up to…
  140. Very fun idea, guys; thanks! I used a lot of ideas from others, and added a few of my own (I like 6, 9 and 10 the best):

    1. Valonqar
    2. Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    3. The House of Black and White
    4. Sons of the Harpy
    5. The Sorrows
    6. He Who Passes the Sentence
    7. Queenmaker
    8. For the Realm
    9. When the Sun Sets in the East
    10. Penance

  141. A Man Grown, Beyond bad.

    Patchy Face: Just thought of “The Prince that was Promised” for ep10 – or would that be more appropriate for S6?

    It’s most appropriate for Jaqen’s return episode. 7 sighs.

  142. I have no idea how the story is going to be played out so how can I possibly guess?

    I’d love to do this, though, and will not let it deter me:

    1: Yay! Boobs are Back!
    2: Where do Dwarves Go?
    3: Arya takes a Bath
    4: Varys, the Early Years
    5: Heaven knows I’m Miserable Now: Jon Snow Returns
    6: More Boobs.
    7: Dany and the Handmaid’s Tale
    8: Llamas on the Loose!
    9: Troll in the Dungeon!
    10: Sansa Gone Wild

    9: Troll in the Dungeon!
    10: Sansa Gone Wild

    Otherwise known as “A Dress of Black and Blue”

  144. I’d expect one in their about ‘queens’ or ‘Her Grace’, given we’ve got Cersei, Margaery, Daenerys

    and Myrcella all rising and falling during this season.
  145. 501 – Valonqar
    502 – Him of Many Faces
    503 – Snow
    504 – The Seven Pointed Star
    505 – The Lion and The Bear
    506 – Unbowed. Unbent. Unbroken.
    507 – Turncloak
    508 – Hear Me Roar
    509 – A Dance with Dragons
    510 – Mercy

    I think For the Watch will be episode 1 or 2 of season 6

  146. The Valonqar
    Black and White
    The Whispers
    Cat of the Canals
    The Queenmaker
    The Choosing
    A Ghost in Winterfell
    Atonement
    A Dragon Rises
    For the Watch

  147. My opinions:

    Episode 1: Valonqar
    Episode 2: Snakes
    Episode 3: The New Lord
    Episode 4: Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    Episode 5: The Sons of the Harpy
    Episode 6: Faceless
    Episode 7: The mummer’s Farse
    Episode 8: Hadhome
    Episode 9: Daznak’s Pit
    Episode 10: The true queens

  148. Dont know which episode these will be, but a few I dig and based on what they’ve done in the past.

    The Lion and The Bear
    The Dragon and the Harpy
    Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    Sparrows
    Sorrows
    The Living and The Dead (maybe a bit to spoilerish for EP8)
    Hardhome
    Lord Commander
    Offerings (EP 1, Stannis to Jon, Varys to Tyrion, Cersei to Kevan)
    Words Are Wind

  149. I have no imagination whatsoever, but here goes. . .

    Prophecy
    A Cat Of Many Faces
    Spiderwebs
    Sand And Fog
    A Test Of Faith
    The Queenmaker
    Dark Sister
    In The Woods Somewhere
    Catching Fire
    Heart Of Stone

    (I know, these are terrible. . .)

  150. Dutch maester,

    Heh, I couldn’t resist. I love that Hozier song from the international DVD trailer. And the characters do run around in the woods, so I think it’s fitting.

    🙂

  151. Hollyoak:
    3: Arya takes a Bath
    8: Llamas on the Loose!

    I won’t bore you with why but I’m hoping giant penguins are what Jon was looking aghast at in the clip that will presumably be during ep 8. Adding llamas to the mix would be even better! Apparently they are known for spitting and I reckon they’d be dirty fighters. Maybe Hardhome has somehow gained a zoo and the animals get loose. They’ve got more budget now, it’s do-able.

    Not sure about number 3, haven’t people said the HBO listing specifically doesn’t mention nudity or violence? Arya Takes A Bath Fully Clothed and Doesn’t Even Get Cross With Anyone possibly? Not that snappy but you can’t have everything! ;O)

    Loving the Roose on the loose/on fire and Fire And Blood 2: Electric Boogaloo too, so thumbs up for everyone involved there. Sorry, can’t contribute anything remotely serious, although someone did have “Atonement” which I like as it could mean lots of things and isn’t too spoilery.

  152. I have enjoyed reading these submissions. Here are my guesses:

    1. Death is Here Tonight
    2. The Kindly Man
    3. The Choosing
    4. The Prince of Dorne
    5. Journey of Sorrows
    6. Turncloak
    7. Vengeance, Justice, Fire and Blood
    8. An Unholy Place
    9. The Lioness
    10.The Pit

  153. I’d also like to submit an alternative title, as a follow up to the tumultuous events in Daznak’s Pit:

    Ep. 510 – Squirting From Both Ends

  154. This is always fun to do – my submissions:

    Episode 01 – Valonqar.
    Episode 02 – House of Black and White, The.
    Episode 03 – And Now His Watch Begins
    Episode 04 – Unbow, Unbent, Unbroken
    Episode 05 – Sons of the Harpy
    Episode 06 – Ghost of Winterfell, The.
    Episode 07 – Seven-Pointed Star, The.
    Episode 08 – Hardhome
    Episode 09 – Hear Me Roar
    Episode 10 – For the Watch.

  155. I know some of those were mentioned already, but still, here is my attempt:

    Cat of the Canals
    Pit of Snakes, The
    Sons Of The Harpy, The
    Faith of the Sparrow
    Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    Ghost in Winterfell, A
    Queenmaker, The
    For the Watch
    Dance with Dragons, A
    Mercy

    EDIT: only after submitting did I notice that Davos’ Finger Bones already posted E9 as “Dance with Dragons, A”, I though of that one independently. I think it would make a great E9 title.

  156. This is so fun! 🙂 Glad to see I had the some of the same titles as others. And some hilarious ones!! It’s really a shame about Fire and Blood already being used though.

  157. Jaime’s girl:
    This is so fun! Glad to see I had the some of the same titles as others. And some hilarious ones!!It’s really a shame about Fire and Blood already being used though.

    North Remembers really shouldn’t have been used back in S2. I still can’t get over that.

  158. Im’ definitely scoring:

    501: Across the Narrow Sea.
    502: The 998th
    503: Sunspear
    504: The House of Black and White
    505: Sons of the Harpy
    506: The Militant Faith Uprising
    507: The Queenmaker
    508: Hardhome
    509: Faceless
    510: The Winter

    Hear me roar, bitches.

  159. 1. A Golden Shroud
    2. The Demon Road
    3. Little Birds
    4. Growing Strong
    5. Clash of Queens
    6. A Cat of a Different Coat
    7. A Castle Made of Snow
    8. Lord Commander
    9. To Pass beneath the Shadow
    10. The Sunset Kingdom

  160. I would like to see an episode titled, “The Rat Cook”, starring Lord Too Fat.

    Edited: Way late on this one! I see 4 other posts referencing this.

  161. This was a lot of fun! I started looking at old episode names to try to see themes in how they’re named. The first season has several which are lines said in that episode, the second has many with well known phrases from the books, the third and forth are more about one certain event happening that episode.

    Here are my guesses. Pretty much all of them are shameless steals. I put lot of thought into which ones i should steal though and for which episode.
    S5E01: Valonqar
    S5E02: Faith
    S5E03: And Now his Watch Begins
    S5E04: Sons of the Harpy
    S5E05: Unbowed Unbent Unbroken
    S5E06: A Ghost in Winterfell
    S5E07: Hear me Roar
    S5E08: Hardhome
    S5E09: The Lion and the Dragon
    S5E10: Oathbreaker

    My thought is that faith could be both about The Faith and also about the other religions like the one of the many faced god and possibly a clash between the old gods and the red god up by the wall. Not sure which episode it should be in but could be two since that might be the time where both sparrows and many faced god is introduced.
    For Hear me Roar: that is such a lame house word that I hope they use it for whatever episode Cersei goes to mock Margaery and then herself gets arrested.

    I enjoyed reading through everyones suggestions. Some that I didn’t see fitting this season but definitely should be episode titles at some point are Winter, The Fall, Hour of the Wolf.

    As people have posted we will only get some of them even with all of us guessing. There are sure to be certain themes or lines that we can’t predict which makes it into episode names. So far we’ve had some pretty unpredictable ones: Cripples Bastards and Broken Things, The Night Lands, Garden of Bones, Walk of Punishment, Mhysa, Two Swords, First of his name, The Laws of Gods and Men, The Children for example.

  162. 501 – Someone dies in the first 5 minutes, but later there is nudity, Yeah!
    502 – Someone is going to die soon; Also more nudity.
    503 – Someone unimportant dies, who wasn’t supposed to; Fans rejoice.
    504 – Someone important dies, who wasn’t supposed to… Booooooo.
    505 – I swear I am going to stop watching this show next week.
    506 – What the hell is Jon Snow doing in Hardhome?
    507 – Its getting cold in here… well actually everywhere…
    508 – It is especially cold when you are nude in public.
    509 – WTF SANSA???
    510 – FTW… I quit.

  163. 1. Beyond the Sea
    2. The South Remembers
    3. The Seven Pointed Star
    4. The Grass Hides All
    5. No One
    6. A Feast for Crows
    7. The Ghost of Winterfell
    8. Hardhome
    9. Two Queens

  164. Feeling inspired by “Fat Pink Mast”

    Here are some more options intended to be funny.

    * Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken, Uncut (obviously with plenty of Varys too)
    * All episodes are called “Words are Wind”.
    * Nipples on a breastplate
    * Teats larger than his head
    * Next season to start with “If I look back I am lost”

  165. 1. Lord Commander, The
    2. Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    3. Lost Lord, The
    4. Sons of the Harpy
    5. Iron Lord, The
    6. Daznak’s Pit
    7. Spurned Lord, The
    8. Hardhome
    9. Soiled Queen, The
    10. For the Watch

  166. A version based on things fans may not expect:

    1 Three Dicks
    2 Beheaded by a Topless Woman
    3 Did HBO Just Show a Woman’s Asshole?
    4 Please Not A Sex Scene With Him
    5 Full Frontal Castration

    7 Flesh Melting Off a Face
    8 Okay That’s a Bad Job of Covering Tattoos
    9 Ok, An Actual Loving Couple
    10 Wait, How Is She Alive?? WTF???!?!??!???

  167. First post, and just a wild stab.

    501 Dress You Up.
    502 Material Girl
    503 La Isla Bonita
    504 Papa Don’t Preach
    505 Luck Star
    506 Burning Up
    507 Crazy For You
    508 Who’s That Girl
    509 Frozen
    510 Miles Away

  168. Why do people put “The” or “A” at the end instead at the beginning ? I swear it’s so fucking annoying especially when you know the episodes are not going to be called like that,i’m not a native english speaker,so is it an American or British or both things or what ?

  169. Cihan123,

    Read the instructions in the article:

    “Enter your guess for each episode below! A favor: Please put “A,” “An” and “The” at the end of your entry, for easy sorting by us later. (For instance, “Watchers on the Wall, The” and not “The Watchers on the Wall”). Like they did with card catalogs in libraries, for those non-millennials who remember what those were.”

    It’s for the purposes of organization.

  170. I can’t believe no-one has doubled my ‘Kill the boy’ suggestion. Or even followed with a ‘…Let the man be born’ for an episode 10 title. Or you could have ‘Kill the boy’ ep 10 and ‘Let the man be born’ for ep 1 of s6!

    Anyway, enough of how great my ideas are. I liked some of the tongue in cheek suggestions. I genuinely like clk’s idea of ‘Mummer’s farce’ – though I did initially read this as ‘Mummer’s fart’, as in “Brienne and Pod will be… Oh who gives a mummer’s fart!”

    Also has anybody made any onomatopoeic suggestions – like “Thrum!” Just occurred to me… I’m sure there are others. GRRM loves it.

  171. I now can’t actually remember the 10th one I guessed… In no particular order:

    – No One
    – Protector
    – Dreams & Dust
    – Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken
    – Sons of the Harpy
    – The Ghost of Winterfell
    – Fall From Grace
    -A Feast For Crows
    – A Sword in the Darkness

    That’s probably lacking a Tyrion based one so gonna just say “Hear Me Roar” for the 10th . There is probably too many Jon/Cersei ones there as well :/

  172. 1. The Titan’s Daughter
    2. The King beyond the Wall
    3. Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
    4. A Ghost in Winterfell
    5. A God of many faces
    6. The Wayward Bride
    7. Sons of the Harpy
    8. Mercy
    9. The Pit
    10. Oathbreaker

  173. My late (and some aforementioned) fun time list:

    only just less than 1/3 but I win yay

  176. Luka Nieto:
    smitzzz,

    That’s cheating

    Well, if the leaked titles are indeed true, that is

    I hold my hands up gov , caught out lol others got at least a couple of them way before me anyways ahah

  177. Grand maester giz,

    The Queen’s Road. That’s really good, actually! Fits perfectly for Cersei, and Dany to an extent, if their respective “big events” this season are happening in episode 9, which I’m pretty sure is the case. Also a nice parallel to 1×02, “The Kingsroad.” Bravo! I only hope D&D, Cogman and Dave Hill have come up with equally inventive titles.

  178. Hey Mr. Rivers,

    Are you also going to recognize people who guessed many titles correctly, but not necessarily in the correct order? Because that would be pretty cool.

  179. -He is at rest
    -Sun and Spear
    -Valonqar
    -Poor Fellows
    -Queen of love and beauty
    -Him of Many Faces
    -Vengeance, Justice. Fire and Blood
    -Kingmaker, The
    -No One.
    -Snow

    🙂

  180. I am late, and i know it: the first three titles most likely revealed, i start with episode four:
    4 – Jousting
    5 – The Prince of Winterfell
    6 – No One
    7 – Walk of Atonement
    8 – Marriages
    9 – Lord Commander
    10 – The Pit

    Valar morghulis!

  181. Well, actually that was the titles I wanted when I finished the book and people told me about the season 5:

    1. Stone Heart
    2. Lord Commander
    3. The Queenmaker
    4. Many-Faced God
    5. The Pale Mare
    6. Dreams and Dust
    7. Turncloak
    8. Walk of Atonement
    9. Mother of Dragons
    10. Daggers In The Dark (my favorite)

  182. Brian,

    Usernames weren’t associated with the replies in Polldaddy, so there’s no easy way to do that, if I am reading your question right!
