I'm more curious to see how Davos and the loyalists got Jon's body away from the mutineers in the first place.

From that other trailer, it appears that the mutineers just left Jon's body outside after they killed it. So it's likely that some loyalists found Jon deader than disco the next morning, and brought him inside before the bad guys were like "hey we should really deal with the remains".

Per EW, there will be a media screening of the first episode on Sunday. Something tells me that we won't be getting Jon's resurrection in that episode, since spoilers will inevitably leak.

I could see Jon only being resurrected in the back half of the season. It'd give them more time to pretend he's not coming back.

Did they mean to kill him though? Maybe Varys cholorfourmed them and they woke up with swords in their hands and Jon tripped and fell on their swords.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Don't worry, we haven't come up with any new jokes in the meantime! It's still Dany shits in a field, Twenty Good Men and "This Year, <x> is a writer on the show".

Imo the most offensive aspect of the inclusion of Olly and the potato farming village is the fact that potatoes shouldn't exist in westeros and that in fact the word potato doesn't appear once in the books.

The Stanley Cup has been kidnapped by Gary Bettman! Are you a bad enough dude to rescue it?

lezard_valeth posted:

The bet currently is on Tyrion, due to a scene from the trailer. Of course he won't die.

Personally I believe things will get out of his control with the Sons of the Harpy (should have killed him when he was still in the Pit, shouldn't you? loving D&D and their self-induced plotholes) and he will be cornered with no option but to release the dragons.

On another note, I just discovered this theory and now I want to believe. Varys gonna screw everyone with his phantom dick :woop:

neatly summed up but I hate the way that dude pronounces Viserys (or have I been pronouncing it wrong in my head)
I never picked up before that Young Griff could be a BlackFyre and now I'm convinced he is - there is no way the Golden Company follows him if he isnt.

Ginette Reno posted:

I'm still trying to figure out what in the hell Varys' motivation is supposed to be in the show since they aren't going to have the whole Aegon thing.

I thought they were? Werent there casting rumours surrounding "a father and son" ?

agree. thinking the episode will end with that scene teased on Conan and we see the resurrection further down the line.

that scene better end with ghost ripping out potato boys throat

conspiracy theory time - which actors have done the most pre-season press from year to year and did their characters end up dying in that season?

How's potatoes different from beans, though? And beans do. Not just broad beans, which are justifiably Eurasian.

"Father and son" can be a couple of peasants with a couple lines. People thinking they're the Griffs was kinda silly in the face of all the reasons why they're clearly cut.

I figure they're going to have Jon kill Olly to make us wonder if being dead has changed Jon for the worse, not realizing that nobody has ever had positive emotions about Olly.

Jon takes Olly's head off with Longclaw. Stoops down and picks it up. He makes it nod slightly and returns the nod before drop kicking it towards Ser Alliser tied up to a pyre.

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
I'm still kicking myself for honestly thinking that the writers were going to subvert expectations and have Olly try and warn Jon about the reason. But I'm sure that they thought that they were subverting expectations in having Olly part of it even though it was the most telegraphed thing ever.

Just thinking, wouldn't that scene with Davos etc been so much better if there was pyp, grenn and ed standing with Davos instead of a bunch of people we don't recognise.

It's not that hard a scenario though, homie dies and he's brought inside, Davos goes to "pay his respects" or whatever and the red woman says "hey just wait up before you bbq that bloke" and then allisers like "nah we gotta burn him bros" cue scene.

I would think we probably have to wait till end of ep 2 before he gets rezzed. Ep 1 is too likely to be leaked and I can't remember anything big being done in ep1 ever.

Them completely removing Edd's characterization and turning him into generic dude who follows Jon around is one of the things that really upsets me about the later seasons, although to be fair I don't remember him doing much else in the later books either. Early season/book Dolorous Edd was the best loving character.
