I imagine he got this episode because there's still some book stuff to draw from - Iron Islands, Bran's vision, Arya. And also, the rest of the episodes will be just as big as this one if not bigger. So they had to give him something. I agree. And D&D will write some scenes just like in every episode.

Why you hate David Hill? I guess some people dislike him because he thought up Olly. Myself I just think he's a worse writer than the other guys. I think Olly was a really good idea, I don't understand the hate for this character. It is just a book purist hating for the sake of hating.

"Hey George, remember how you sold us the rights to the series to adapt it? Well we're letting the guy who got us coffee a few years ago pen the script to the most epic cliffhanger in your career. Sound good?" It's not that GrrM even cares about this story any more.

And I agree with alcasinoroyale about two possibilities. There is nothing else I think.

I could think of two possibilities: 1. Running off with Rhaegar 2. Tourney at Harrenhal But why show those if ToJ is next week? Maybe they will show everything at once. If they show only Rhaegar and her in one episode and then ToJ in the next episode everyone will know what will happen.

Young Stunner: Aged 18 – 20. She’s a stunner of a brunette. The actress has a couple of scenes, and a great final scene where there is a major twist.
So her ToJ scene won't be her only one?

Yup that could have worked. Brienne could have seen the candle and start heading towards Winterfell, but the battle would then occur. It is nota bad idea, but then we will would see even more theories about Stannis still being alive and how D&D hated him and refused to give him a death scene.

But what would happen with Battle of Ice? Stannis won't run. He will march forward. He marches to victory, or he marches to defeat, but he will march. We will find out in TWOW. Or we won't.

I don't think that Brienne has to fail at everything to have a compelling arc. I'm really tired of characters failing again and again in this story.

Change the deaths in the show from the books. But we don't know that. Brienne won't kill Stannis, but everything else can happen, one way or another. And I think it is better to have Brienne kill Stannis than some Bolton extra.

The showrunners love Tyrion more than life itself. He is gonna ride that dragon mark my words. He is probably gonna have like 3 chicks feeding him strawberries on top of it too. i think he'll be a dragonrider in the books too, but i doubt that GRRM is gonna do a cheesy ass scene where its love at first sight with tyrion and the dragons lol If Tyrion is going to ride a dragon, there must be a special connection between them. I really don't think that GrrM can't do something much different.

I think that the problem wtith many of fans is that they think that ASIF/GoT is something more than conventional, but darker, fantasy tale.
There are no subverted troops here. Except RW and Ned's death, but if you think about that, GrrM just started this story few steps earlier. It is like Harry Potter with James and Lily as main characters in books 1-3, and then the story starts with Harry.
You are trying so hard to think out-of-box, but there is really nothing that original here.
It makes no sense that Stannis will take WF. Starks must do that. It makes sense that Ramsay will kill Roose, just like Tyrion killed Tywin.
It makes sense that Jon, Dany and Tyrion will ride a dragon, and that Jon will be the king in the end.
This is a great story, but a typical fantasy story. Nothing more. Maybe this is too harsh for some to hear, but I truly believe in this.

Ironic comment by Tyrion? So what?
They decide to give Shae some agency . I have no problem with that.
But the point is, tyrion will ride dragon in the books as well. He is only POV character that has shown any interest in dragons, except Dany.

LOL They never said that Tyrion is their favorite character, but guess who said that? The idea that Tyrion will ride a dragon is old, almost as these books. Old theory that will be confirmed in the show.

He will. Someone must. There are 3 of them. Dany, Jon, Euron. Obviously not.

I don't understand how Roose's death in E2 will be just for shock value. And I think that is very overused term in this fandom.

I just hope before it happens they perfect the CGI because 5x09 was seriously lacking in this department I'm sure that it will be better, just like CGI was better every year.

I think that this is implying that he will ride a dragon.
