It brings up old scenes and characters from past episodes and seasons that will be relevant this episode. My guess is someone or something we forgot about is brought up and for maximum effect, going in blind is seemingly recommended. hth?

Depending on whether or not you watch the "Previously on", at one or two points during the finale you will react one of two ways: 1. "Holy loving poo poo I didn't expect (him/her) to show up there!"  2. "Well I should have expected (him/her) to show up there, the preview strongly hinted it would happen."  Your choice.

It's just a reminder of things that will be enjoyed much more by remembering them on your own basically. Watch the prev or don't, it's really not that big of a deal. HBO should really get its poo poo together though because even minor spoilers or whatever should never happen. Baldbeard fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Jun 15, 2014 |

This might be the most eventful episode of the entire series.

Maybe the "Children" characters really come through in this episode. Arya, Bran, Sansa could all do something cool maybe. Tyrion, Jaime and Cersei are all Tywin's children. Who knows what'll happen (other than the obvious people who know what'll happen)?
