This thread must be tho most active on ARF besides the 24/365 nonsense. I can't keep up!

I figured out how to know who gets the throne in the end. Eat GOT Oreos at random. The last cookie left in the pack is the sigil of the winner.

I am unconvinced it is entirely their fault.

I suspect the proximity of the 'red star' implies there is a cycle to these things.  They may not have even been awake for longer than the story we are being told...say the last 100 years or so.  Not to REEEEEE the fantasy crowd too much but I suspect the orbit of GoT planet is 'most irregular' and this plays into the story more than the TV show is gong to allow as GRRM is pretty long-winded about such things.  At least compared to other dragon/cycle/comet writers like...oh...McCaffrey.

We may never know as GRRM certainly doesn't seem interested in telling us those details before he dies, but I doubt his intention was what we will get.  I once tried to read Tolkiens margin notes and if folks are right and GRRM is as good as the bard then we are being robbed of a lot of detail.  I don't blame GRRM, if Tolkien had had a TV show running the Silmarillion while he was trying to sort of maybe finish it then he might have...yeah, no, yeah....he'd never have let that happen.

I guess episode 3 is the start of the longer episodes and supposedly its the battle for Winterfell for the whole episode. This should be epic, I would think it would be the episode that will determine the rest of the season since all the important people are there.

Interestingly enough, if you slow down the opening sequence you will see a relief of dragons and the red star on the rotational rings. Comes right after kings landing is built.

Also appears to be a nod to Ladystone Heart as well earlier in the sequence

Sam didn’t read about it in a book so presumably there’s no written history of it.

There was already an ideal scene during one of Bran’s flashbacks to kinda give some insight on who he was.

We don’t know what the Night King wants. When Bran was with the children of the forest in the tree with the three-eyes raven it would have been a great time to explain his actions but they didn’t.

I’m curious if they try to explain any of it in the show. Bran would presumably be the only who would be able to see what he wants.  Unless of course, the night king sends a raven to winterfell with a list of demands.

There is a theory(probably BS) that the Night King is actually Bran through some kind of timeline crap like went on with Hodor.  Sounds a bit thin to me.

Yep, there are still normal seasons and years in Westeros; a growing season, a harvest season, a winter season, and a planting season. The big winters are semi random events, unrelated to the normal seasons.

It has also been hinted that everything that takes place is all a dream in the eye of a giant.

Season 1 - Rob Stark said :“One time she told me the sky is blue because we live inside the eye of a blue-eyed giant named Macumber,” he said. “Maybe we do,” replied a sullen Bran.

Season 4 - Oberyn Martell brought up the same idea to Tywin Lannister. “Some believe the king choked,” Tywin said, talking about Joffrey’s recent death. “Some believe the sky is blue because we live inside the eye of a blue-eyed giant,” Oberyn replied.

It should be noted that this not mentioned in the books.

Even with Dumb and Dumber calling the shots I never considered for a second Ghost wasn't going to at least make an appearance before the end.

Speaking of that though: they probably spent more on that out of place Disney-esque dragon riding scene than they spent on direwolves in the past 3 seasons combined.
