Really? I thought it was in Episode 608, because Arya's "Assassin's Creed" leap from the trailer was supposed to be in Episode 608. Yes, it's from 608. I tried hard but simply can't remember - how did we know this scene is from Ep 608?

Yeah that's a good question when does Euron come back? Interesting that Yara and Theon are back this episode , honky tonking around in Volantis , to what purpose? The return of a mysterious person this episode? My guess is that they'll meet a Red Priestess (like Tyrion & Varyas were listening to one of them preaching on the High Bridge of Volantis) and get instructions how to find Danaerys. Any of you has some ideas on who might be the "new target" of the HS? My primary guess would be Olenna, as she would have quite a bit to atone for (Joffrey's death for example); which also would give her good reasons to leave the city.

underestimating cersei will be both the high sparrow and margaery's undoing. This. Their mistake is that they think she's just another (more or less) rational player of the game, and they do not expect her level of madness; lots of talk about the HS being a religious zealot (ofc he is), but he's not the one who'd ever vote for a suicide bombing style attack. It's Cersei's who would burn cities to the ground if the game doesn't develop in her favor. And the only thing you could still hold in her favor - her love for her children - suddenly ended when Tommen decided to do something that didn't suit her; all of a sudden Tommen seems to be forgotten (who wrote about her children being mere extensions of her?) and it's "We're the only two people in the world" for her and Jaime. I'm sure those Mad King and "Burn them all" visions are heavily foreshadowing Cersei's walk into madness and (self-)destruction. Or how Mace the Ace put it: "Madness has overtaken this city and grasped in its claws my children. And now we must drive it back under the rocks whence it came." Unfortunately he won't be able to drive Madness back to the Casterly Rock she came from...

My question is, if she was "No One" but isn't now, why call the episode that? Maybe because "No One" really believed SHE would show up anymore?

As much as I regret it, even without taking any spoilers into account, I'm totally convinced the HS will be going down fast after his last victory. When he showed that complacent, smug smile (something he never showed before - and what, by the way, didn't really seem fitting to his character; to me, he's not the Littlefinger type), my very first thought was: you are dead. Openly showing such signs of self-satisfaction in GoT is a clear sign that a character will be offed soon...

after last night's episode, i'm perfectly okay with cersei being the reason for tommen's suicide. fuck tommen. How's that? Together with Margaery, Tommen saved the Lannister rule over King's Landing and prevented the city from plunging into civil war. I'd call that a very wise move (though of course Tommen wasn't the mastermind behind this). So if just Cersie wouldn't go into full paranoid berzerk mode and imitate the Mad King, everything would be fine for House Lannister and House Tyrell... but I fear it won't, given the amount of wildfire scenes we saw in Bran's visions.

It's cute that you think LF would have taken no for an answer. Of course he would have agreed. There are only two things in life that matter to LF - power / influence and his love for Catelyn (and Sansa as a strange surrogate). He's pursuing his own power game all the time, at any cost - but he'd never ever risk the life of Catelyn / Sansa. Would he have liked it if she said no? Of course not, cause he thinks he knows what's best for her. Would he have forced her to marry Ramsay to have his will? Never ever. If there's one thing you can be 100% sure of that LF told the truth about, it was his answer to Sansa asking him "What if I want you to die here and now?" "Then I will die."

Has anyone said definitely who the guy is that we just get to see the feet walking at the end of the promo? I'm going with Meribald. There are some dead bodies lying around in the grass in the background though so I'm not sure what that's about. Yes, I'm voting for Ray Meribald too... walking over some kind of battleground with dead corpses lying around would give the right background for his "Broken Men" speech. P.S.: Or is it a time traveller from Bran's visions? Those shoes look so 20th century to me... P.P.S.: Anyone dares to make a guess what Sansa is writing?

Daenerys is so boring that she couldn't be interesting even if she killed everyone of her family members Hey, that's ambitious words coming from someone who uses an avatar of the most lulling character so far ! I wasn't surprised at all that most ironborn fled with the ships after King Big Cock's soporific pep speeches; only those who couldn't fight sleep long enough stayed behind, and as punishment for their lethargy they now have to build a thousand ships for his majesty, which will keep them occupied for the next months... what an iron snoozefest ... As you can easily see, I also have not a single constructive thing to say; but somehow we have to stay awake, still 26 hours to go!

I'll definitely wake up early to see if some intern at HBO Nordic fucked up again Very unlikely. They'll be extra cautious now. The HBO HQ must've given every subsidiary a warning and a hard ear pull after that fuck up, they're not gonna take any chances. I still have high hopes for Sky Germany - they got much applause for releasing the last three episode titles, maybe that will motivate them enough to give us further leaks...

It could however I hope it's not like this. I want her to be revealed while hanging scum not lurking behind a fucking tree Well, what are trees made for if not for a good, old-fashioned hanging... Besides this could be from a latter episode (LF) and she might get introduced in an earlier scene that exactly meets your wishes - don't abandon hope yet!

are we sure these titles are legit? if they're right then episode 8 should be huge for arya then I double-checked it and those titles are indeed in the official program guide that can be found on the official corporate website info.sky.de; Sky is broadcasting GoT in Germany for HBO (that's how I watch the show). Especially 9 and 10 do not sound very sophisticated (well, at least not surprising ;-)), but this is definitively official information from a legit Sky website.

Why are you so sure it's fake?
I mean, 99% of such "leaks" are fake, but what exactly makes you so sure in this case? Just curious...

I wasn't around last year, so I'd like to ask you guys for help regarding this issue: almost one year ago there circulated rumours about LSH appearing in S05E10 (which obviously never happened); and some pictures were published as supposed leaks . One of those three pix was obviously fake (those hooded men, originating from another movie called "Black Death") - but was there ever any explanation as to the source of the other two pix? All of this came back to my mind when watching that 10 second clip; I cannot but see some similarities between the two faces: And also the second pic from that 2015 "leak" now does not seem totally off to me anymore, after having seen several trailers of season 6: I always wondered why someone would do fake pics of LSH in a snowy forest scene instead of a more Riverlandesque environment... Please tell me all that was fake, so I can sleep again ;-).

I think I'm the only one who likes the High Sparrow and thinks he's a better person than all the other characters in KL right now, except maybe for Tommen No, you're not the only one . Of course judged by today's moral points of view, he's a homophobic religious zealot. But as GoT does not play in 21st century Manhattan, that would be a strangely misplaced view. In the medieval context of the show, in a feudal world where 99% of the people are nothing than property of their lords, only useful as producers of food and cannon fodder, a movement that promotes basic human rights for the poor masses (life, food, shelter, equality before the law) is definitively an element that promotes progress and civilization, as odd as it may sound. Of course they will be smashed by the few, the rich families who will defend their wealth and power at any price. But like the beggar priest movements in the real medieval world, the sparrows are very early steps on the long way to modern democracy and human rights. So like Daenerys trying to abolish slavery, the High Sparrow has my sympathies too...

It means Lancel is even fucking dumber than we thought... Very nice observation - I hadn't noticed those dents before! It doesn't have to be Lancel though who attacks the Frankenmountain. In the pics and preview scenes from the stairs in front of the Sept we see several sparrows with that type of weapon; and in the trailer we saw Frankenmountain kill one sparrow, so maybe that guy was responsible for the dents...

also if you guys notice the star of the 7 has now been entwined with the tyrell rose That would be a very striking idea - but I'm not sure the HS would accept the fusion of the supreme sign of the faith with the sigil of one specific house, even if they join an alliance right now. Besides, if you'd complete the sigil shown in the pic, in my opinion it would only be a six-pointed star... .

I just had a thought about this Tyrell Massacre. If it takes place in the Sept, wouldn't we have heard about it being shot in Girona? I'm sure we'd get shots of outside the Sept leading up to/during/after the attack (The Tyrellls arriving, Gregor coming in, wildfire). That's my one little doubt about this. If this huge bloody scene in a relatively public place is legit, I find it hard to believe no one heard about it till now. Did we hear details of the exact whereabout of this supposed massacre? As far as I remember, some interior scenes of the Sept (like the crypt) have been shot in Shane's Castle in Northern Ireland... maybe that's a more secluded location.
