You guys really want explanation for everything, so the series can get to Season 20. Like One entire season of flashback into the time of the MAD KING

This thread is now open for the discussion of episode 6, which started here after it was leaked: https://www.nairaland.com/3991891/game-thrones-season-7-episode

Hopefully the finale won't be leaked because I am tired.

I think the director made a big mistake by not updating us on what happen to the unsullied at casterly Rock. Two episodes now and no update on their story.


Those ones go starve to death for The Rock.

I was surprised as well Bro! It's really unexplainable! The Writer is goddamn exhausted, he just wants the Show to End as soon as Possible.

I feel your pain, bro.

No, it is not that the "show writer" is exhausted; it is that the "show writer" (a.k.a David Beniof and D.B. Weiss) have run out of the source material (i.e. the A Song of Ice and Fire books - ASOIAF), and all they have now are the "highlights" of the remaining books which the original writer (George R.R. Martin, a.k.a GRRM) is YET to complete.

GRRM is a writer in a class by himself. Put simply, he is the JRR Tolkien of our times, and the ASOIAF books are his masterpiece. Seasons 1 - 5 of the show were based on the first 5 books; that is why they were so well crafted and excellently paced. But from season6, there were no more books! And unfortunately GRRM is such a slow writer! grin So all he gave the "show writers" were highlights of the 2 remaining books of series, leaving them to flesh out the story as they see fit.

And that is you are watching now in season 7... there are still some wonderful story points, but overall so poorly put together. To even make things worse, whatever excitement that could've been gotten from watching the show as it is has been squashed by all the spoilers that completely exposed the whole season before it even premiered. Go figure.

Game of thrones has broken so many records already. Even the writers/directors and cast members have won so much awards because of the show.

So many artistes that turned down the request to take on a character are now regretting their actions.

Not fans, budget.
All those nice looking CGI dragons cost gazilions of dolapo to render, then factor in the true-to-life costumes, the exotic locations, the excellent production sets, those killer post credits music scores... Each episode of the series now cost almost as much as a good-sized Hollywood movie.

At this point it should just be over already. All these leaks and spoilers really spoilt it for me this year, especially these hacked episodes. I can only imagine the losses the producers will incur as a result of this.

Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Chysler(m): 8:29pm On Aug 21, 2017
At some point we will arrive at the end of Game of thrones, and probably many deaths will take place. That's when Brandon Stark, son of Eddard Stark, decides he'll travel back in time and try to stop the Night king, his army, and the events from taking place. I will write about his journey back in time after explaining how it's possible he can do this.

When the three-eyed raven says "You will never walk again, but you will fly" he means through time, and not only warging a dragon like many fans believe. There was a reason Jojen Reed (who also had the greensight and knew even more things about it than Bran) did not become the three-eyed raven himself. The reason is that Bran is even more powerful than both Jojen and the three-eyed raven (Brynden Rivers) in the way that he has both greensight and the ability to warg. With this combination Bran is even able to affect the past by warging into Wyllis, and eventually making him become Hodor, which proves "the ink is dry". He also gains his fathers attention outside the tower of joy, and even gets touched by the Night king in one of his greensights. Bran believes he is eventually (with more knowledge) going to be able to rewrite history and that's why he decides to go back and stop the Night king several times, but fails every time, ending up fulfilling the timeline-circle and taking the identity of the Night king himself.

The first time, he tries to prepare the Mad king for the white walkers and makes him (through the same whisper-method used to get Neds attention) prepare wildfire under King's landing, where the white walkers attacked (this attack is in the future for us viewers). But Bran fails, as the Mad king goes crazy from the whispers and instead tries to burn the city.

The second time, Bran goes even further back in time (as he continiously learn his abilites he is able do go longer and longer back in time) to try discover how the others were defeated the first time. He fail again and instead succeeds to become Bran the Builder, building the Wall and securing his birth by building Winterfell and creating the words "There must always be a Stark in Winterfell".

The last time, Bran goes back all the way to where the Night king was created, to warg into the human that later is going to become the Night king (or maybe even try to kill the children of the forest). He wargs into him to instead stop the "dragonglass into the heart"-event from happening (or maybe in his attempt to kill the children, he gets chosen as the vessle for the NK). Only he doesn't think of that the children of the forest won't recognize him from the future, and that they at that point are in war with the first men (he is gagged because of all the wierd future-talk). When he realized he failed again, he tries to go back in the current timeline, but can't because he's too deep into the past and stayed to long ("it is beautiful beneath the sea, stay to long and you drown"wink. From here Bran gets stuck in the past (exactly as Brynden and Jojen warned him not to) and becomes the Night king. With the combination of the childrens magic and Brans power, he becomes the villian instead of the hero he tried to be, resulting in turning against the children for creating him and getting stuck behind the magical Wall he later builds as Bran the builder.

Immortal as he is, he waits for himself to be born thousands of years later, knowing when and where he has to be to mark the young Bran, personally kill Brynden Rivers for hiding the truth about what would happen with him, and eventually being able to destroy the wall with a certain dragon. The reason the Night king doesn't end his misery by killing his younger self, is that he finally learnt the ink is dry, and he would fail again. The reason he doesn't kill Jon Snow, and instead observe him at Hardhome (maybe even resurrected him at Castle black?) will be covered in the end. Ending up marching south and once again fulfilling his timeline which we will see in the following two seasons.

You can actually see in the scene where young Bran goes back to the creation of the Night king, that when the children push the dragonglass into his heart, we see Bran tighten his grip on the veins, just as it is himself experiencing the pain. Also in the end of the flashback, Bran is laying in the exact same position in the cave, as the human pushed up to the tree is.

This theory also parts with Jon snow being the prince that was promised, who eventually has to kill his little brother Bran (Night king cannot kill Jon Snow at Hardhome then, can he?), giving us a bittersweet ending

What is there to explain?

Are white walkers or wights allergic to water?

Some kind questions ehn.

A show with dragons spitting fire and a creature that has lived for thousands of years is believable.

But a wight or white walker swimming is unbelievable.

whitewalker attached the huge chain to get the dragon in the
water when they cant even swim?
where does those long chains came from?

You are the one that made the assumptions that they cannot swim.

Tell me where in the show they said white walkers cannot swim?

When you will not pay attention, will be blaming writers.

The Wights that got into the lake drowned, or didn't resurface. Probably due to the weight of the water and them being skeletal.
The Undead army wait a whole day for the lake to freeze over before attacking.

Some people will not pay attention they will now come and be blaming writers for their own lack of assimilation.


Asking how the white walker got chains

Ans: This is a dumb question. The nights king has been alive for centuries and has been raiding wildlings villages since forever. Even hard home had ships.


How did gendry run back to the wall and khaleesi get to them soo fast.

Ans: the suicide squad spent at least 3 days on that island. How? Let's use the water to judge. When the thousands of wights were chasing them, the ice gave way and they started drowning right? Now after the hound started stoning them, and they attacked, the ice is now very thick enough to support the weight of thousands of wights.

You can use this as a time reference. A river doesn't freeze over enough to support the weight of thousands of wights in a single day.


How did they tie the chain to the dragon?
Ans: a wight or a white walker did it. The wights might not be able to swim but they don't drown either.
Remember that they came out of the water and almost drowned Tormund. Also, a white walker could have done it. The show has never implied that they cannot swim.




you people want to be spoon fed everything. If you pay attention, you will understand better. Also, D&grin release videos on YouTube called "inside the episode"
. Check it out if you still don't understand. Stop whining.
