People, where do you get all the leaks? I am DYING to know about next episode's story and can see people talking about leaks, but cannot find them.
Help me
Read my spoiler thread i posted last night. I really want to call in sick damnit.

Yup. I'm pretty sure they are going to smush it all together. So, writhing the baby and possibly being attacked. And baby right there. And the only Kingsguard who mattered was Arthur--who mattered a lot.
It's intrigue concentrated so closely that it's liable to become simplistic.
I'm afraid you're probably right. Sigh. At least if it's dumb enough, we'll know it isn't real...
I would rather love this. But I'm doubting she'll do it yet.
Me too. I think LF sticks around exactly as long as it takes the Starks (any one of them) to figure out he is responsible for Ned's death. Then he's a goner, immediately. He won't be talking his way out of that one. I think I'd prefer to have Jon kill him, since he is the most like Ned (and b/c he would do it by beheading, which would be very fitting). However, if Sansa orders it done, it might be Brienne who swings the sword, which would have LF die by the same sword that killed Ned. So either way would work for me.

Do it!! Otherwise you'll be watching it half-awake and fall asleep three times, Lol. Just once you should watch it live and fully awake!
“In Qohor he is the Black Goat, in Yi Ti the Lion of Night, in Westeros the Stranger. All men must bow to him in the end, no matter if they worship the Seven or the Lord of Light, the Moon Mother or the Drowned God or the Great Shepherd. All mankind belongs to him... else somewhere in the world would be a folk who lived forever. Do you know of any folk who live forever?”
G.o.T-minus 9 hours 35 minutes. Geez this day is never going to end...

Nope. But his mother will be very strongly implied.
Wow, really? That's amazing. What is it with this mystery that the secret is guarded for 20 years by GRRM and even D&D won't give it up after 6 years?? No way is it Rhaegar, there would be no reason to keep that a secret so carefully. It's going to be someone completely off the wall (no pun intended, although I do still think Mance is a possibility), like LF or Varys (who is secretly Egg. It is known) or Stannis. Maybe Benjen. Or possibly Ser Arthur, of course, but again, why the extreme secrecy? The nod last ep to him (Jon) already being a legend for his swordfighting skills was a nice potential hint at SAD though, I must admit. And they picked a very attractive actor to play him, which also certainly doesn't refute the idea of him being the dad... Sigh. Another year of speculation, here we come!
And I personally find it ironic, rather than validating, that the show has decided to interpret Ned's fever dream quite literally.
I bet GRRM hasn't told them the answer, so they went with what they had. Maybe that was part of the initial agreement- that he wouldn't reveal certain secrets until TWOW was published? And that's why they spent a whole season going nowhere with the story, waiting for more material.

Ok, so, once again, for like, the next 5minutes, I'll be thinking that Benjen's Jon's daddy. Pretty convenient how he suddenly reappears and Jon's resurrected like, simultaneously, eh? -smh- :

It would certainly explain the pacing of this season. LOL
Unless the next two books are about a hundred pages each, I'm assuming we'll see a bit more happen in KL and the North.
I mean, they are only now, 6/7ths of the way through the show, catching up to the end of ADWD in KL. And it should be noted that the Battle of the Bastards is thought of by our author as the Battle of Winterfell, is between Stannis and Roose, and almost found its way into ADWD...

I like it!
It explains why Jon was able to be resurrected with only a haircut! His father had been resurrected with Obsidian, so... LOL
At least it creates a bit more continuity than we've seen so far.

This has me thinking why go this far into inference territory and no cigar? They might has well have said it.IMO they don't know,they have theories just like us, so by doing what they are doing when WOW comes out if it is revealed that Jon's parents are not RLJ they rightfully would say (despite heavy inference) that they didn't come out and say anything,that's peoples own danm fault for assuming that's what they meant,
If it does turn out that RLJ is true,then they can say they hinted at it very strongly.
the Sansa role,what is she out for? Is she happy Jon was named KITN? Why didn't she speak up for him? Is there indeed a Sansa double cross coming?Frik talked alot about her non verbal communications that made it feel like there's something else going on with her.

If I hadn't just filed an HR complaint, I would've, trust me. Now I gotta step up & prove that I can do all the shit I said I could do. I mean they say retaliation is illegal, but everybody fucking knows they watch you like a hawk once you open a can of wyverns.

So very little WoW material thus far.
Exactly. Most characters are only marginally further along than the end of ADWD - namely Arya, everyone in KL, everyone in Meereen, Riverrun, and the Wall. It's really just the northern story that has progressed significantly beyond what we've read, but I always expected Stannis to win the fight so we may actually be close, except that Jon and Sansa aren't in WF in the books and instead it's Mance and Stannis.
Which makes me very afraid for the next two seasons. How can they possibly fit 2 books into 1 1/2 seasons when the last 5 books took them 6 seasons to film?
G.o.T-minus 6 hours 45 minutes!!

I hate all of you right now, omg I actually miss being unemployed for a year. Most people claim they'd get bored, but I never was. Rode horses all week, watched my tv shows, even did a bit of reading, lol!
