How have there not been set leaks or photos for who he brings back? Were the scenes shot indoors?

Stoneheart is a good comedy option because if Arya ends up back in the Riverlands then it sets up a much better story than Cleganebowl will ever be.

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
Would it make any sense to introduce Lady Stoneheart with only one season to go? I can't see that working out at all, especially considering that the end of the season is going to be the start of the Ice Zombie apocalypse and who is going to give a gently caress that some character noone cared about, and has literally nothing to do with the plot, is now alive again.

I'll say it once and for all - I hated Lady Stoneheart in the book and am really glad she is not in the show. Stupid zombie revenge mechanism. I love watching Freys die, however.

Lady Stoneheart would be a totally ridiculous jump the shark moment at this point so I wouldn't put it past these writers.

Stoneheart works in the MASSIVE books because it's just another ~~MAGIC IS BACK~~ microcosm.

In the show, it's neither tits nor Arya nor Jon nor Cersei nor Dany, so really no one will ever give a poo poo. The show already feels like it's winding down, and at this point there's so much fat trimmed off that stapling that gristly lump on seems like a huge mistake.

I hate to say it, but I doubt we'll get Wyman Manderly, which makes the show 3/3 on omitting the best characters.

So Stoneheart has zero chance of showing up.

Strong Belwas was by far the best character in the books. By a huge margin.

Second was Medieval Standup Comic Tormund Giantsbane. The show version was a diplomat that was kind of a nice guy.

Third is Wyman Manderly. Dude just plain loving owned.

And shoutouts to Book Yara, Victarion, Dorkstar, Book Areo Hotah, Flashback Rhaegar, Jon Con, the Yellow Whale, Ramsey's Bitches, Book Blackfish, Ser Pounce, and Pretty Pig.

Who the gently caress is even going to contest the boltons now there's like literally no point to anything in the north anymore. What the gently caress is sansa going to do with rickon and a dumb baby in her belly without the goddamn manderlys? I can't wait to hate this dumb season.

Well the writers better decided if they want to do 7 or 8 seasons because they are running out of time. I know HBO wants 8 seasons for obvious reasons.

Like sansa can go live with rickon that's her only idea for a character right now. Rickon used to be The Heir to the north, or one of like four, and his worth was in relation to manderly. Who in universe gives a poo poo about rickon?

Rickon can't be heir to the north because Manderly doesn't exist. Sansa can't be heir to the north because Bolton married her and she ran away from him. Jon can't be heir to the north because he was never maybe legitimized by rob before the red wedding. I think. I don't remember anyone in the show being a lady in armor who was sent through the swamp with a super important letter for castle black.

North is all out of heirs.

This might just be the year
The show only inventing northern lords when it is absolutely necessary to the plot is definitely gonna hurt this season. It woulda been nice if the guy who played the Greatjon wasn't a big drunk idiot, but he apparently pissed everyone off so now there is nobody to really connect to Jon retaking the North or whatever.

I guess the Blackfish and Edmure are back this season, so we'll get *that* at least.
