Season 6 General Speculation v9

If those three battles are in 6x09, I hope the episode is longer than a hour. I doubt it though. It mentioned in the EW article that there's going to be an exclusive GoT issue like they did last year, going behind the scenes in NI and Spain (including Snowbowl) so maybe there will be some more info in there and potentially from upcoming interviews.

Even if the battle doesn't take up the whole episode, we can still have only scenes revolving around it. Even Blackwater was about 15 minutes of battle only.

How come no one has posted this here yet?

Lots of WW at 1:22. Bran's vision from the trailer or the collapse of the Wall?

This is what agents are for. They discuss these issues and make sure that schedules and timings are all OK before anything is signed.

I think it's because they didn't CGI the eyes in yet. 

I'm getting rusty on the books.  But what I meant was, in the show, Jon and Dany each only do about 20 things a season.   But Jon and Dany each do a hundred things in a book; the percent of what they do that parallels is lower, even if the total number of parallels is higher.  The theme of Jon and Dany growing up and surviving challenges in parallel is given more emphasis in the show because the show isn't pursuing as many themes at the same time as the books are.  

Lists like that can also be deceptive because they ignore all the stuff that doesn't match the pattern.  Jon had nothing like Dany's conquests of the slave cities unless you count surviving his breakup with Ygritte as equivalent to conquering a city.  Jon and Dany also have some noticibly different relationships - Dany had nobody like Thorne or Olly in her life, Jon had nobody like Dario.  Tormund and Greyworm are not obvious analogues.  I drew a parallel between Sam and Missandei, but Jon always treated Sam as an equal which is definitely not the dynamic between Dany and Missandei. An even stronger division is that Dany has spent the whole series as a foreigner, particularly in Mereen, while Jon is on home turf at the Night's Watch - he understands and respects the people around him in a way that Dany just doesn't.  And Jon fits into established power structures comfortably - he's a bit young and people rib him for being pretty, but he makes sense as a leader to them - either on the Wall or as a Stark in the north.  Dany breaks the mold of leadership everywhere she goes in Essos.  So clearly GRRM is playing around with both parallels and contrasts in these characters, as well as other plot stuff.
