Game of Thrones *Spoiler* Thread
There's been some recent confusion with the old spoiler thread, so I'm kicking off a new one for tonight's premiere. This is going to be the one for folks who've read all the books. So anything anybody might want to talk about is in bounds. Suffice to say, if you haven't read the books, you'll probably want to stay out of here until you do...
I'll bump the old spoiler-free thread shortly in case anybody's interested. For future reference the link to that one is here |

Guess it was time for the annual "7 seasons is the plan" story: http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/03/11/ga...nes-7-seasons/
Funny how we were just talking about that amongst ourselves. |

This and when halfman went overboard. I know he kills people but for some reason I think these two were safe.

This. I get kind of confused by people who think he's done.

Finally a legitimate reason to hate Obama!

Now that you're done with the books, I would recommend spending a few minutes (hours) reading through some of the essays at the Tower of the hand site. They write about a lot of subtle things and theories that I missed when reading it myself. There is of course an essay on who Jon Snow's real parents are, but also some good ones on books 4 and 5. These are a couple of my favorites if you are interested:

What do you guys think is the end game? What has George RR have taking place at the end of book 8?
Who is sitting on the throne? Starks's? Denery's? Both sharing? Wind Walkers wipe everyone out?

At some point, the White Walker storyline has to come to a head. I predict some sort of epic battle involving White Walkers and dragons, and no one survives except Bran sitting in his tree.

Jon has to make it. He's fire and ice (if the rumor about his parents are correct)

What are the normal scenarios, Jon and Dany as king and queen of the 7 kingdoms, riders of two of the dragons, with Tyrion on the 3rd. Jamie and Brienne together doing something somewhere. Cersei tied naked to a rock somewhere. Arya killing everybody from the shadows, eventually reunited with her wolf. Sansa doing something stupid and boring somewhere. Bran growing branches.
I just find it hard to believe that he'll have a happy ending. I mean, I'm sure some things will turn out the way people want, but I'd be surprised if it ends all clean and neat. |

Isn't there a theory that Tyrion is also a Targarian?
Also Daenerys and Jon couldn't rule together could they? If the theories of Jon's parentage are true., wouldn't he be Daenerys' nephew? |
