I know we've about ended the talk about the darkness, video quality, savings on CGI costs or whatever but I knew this article would come in some form and thought it was funny. From the verge:

Emilia Clarke was on Jimmy Kimmel tonight and said episode 5 is going to be big. She then next said to watch it on the biggest tv.

Not sure if this was asked or suggested (and on this long a thread don't wana go back too much) but on the "Arya jumped outa nowhere" maybe she masked herself as one of the dead bodies laying around or one of the WW in close proximity? That seems like the only plausible solution to that. But if thats indeed the case there shoulda been some implication of that just prior to the kill scene.

FWIW I'm predicting (and I have no inside knowledge):

I think Yara Greyjoy comes in and plays a pivotal role in the final battles or conflicts.

---

Yara should be the one to kill Euron.

---

Unless the show unexpectedly subverts our expectations with a stroke of great writing and instead has Euron die by a character who has no interactions with him but may have said a single line of dialogue years ago that can be retconned to mean it was their destiny all along!

---

There is clearly a reason you aren't a writer.

Gone but not forgotten

I have a very important question...will there be another set of bewbs shown on GOT? Surely there's a Bronn scene left in the tank. Maybe Tyrion break his cold streak?

Again...at this point in the books, there is not a Night King.

---

Yes, there is. There must be, even if we haven't met him. Unless you think the Others are a technologically-advanced, organized race of beings without a leader.

---

Considering the books are written by living POV characters, I doubt we will get a NK to the extent of the show.

Iirc the Battle of Hardhomme wasnt in the books.

Speaking of Bronn...are they going to run into him while marching south? Seems like the only logical meet up. And then he would seemingly join them to fight and give up some info about new scorpions they have built, etc.

The real question is, how dark is it going to be?

---

And what will the level of terrors be? Half full of terrors, or chocked full of terrors?

If there is going to be a betrayal by a main character that upsets people there is a good chance it will be Bronn. He may kill either Tyrion or Jamie.

Is the betrayal thing that people keep talking about come from the books? I can't remember any reference to an impending betrayal in the show.

Will Arya's be the last pair we see? They were dramatically better than expected.

Not specifically the show is way past where the books stopped but the books set the tone of no Good vs Evil, Black vs White people exist in shades of grey and for the most part the show has conveyed that with the exception of the battle with the NK.

Most of the people on the show do good things but also act out of self interest and do bad things at other times. Now that the NK is defeated the show can get back to the moral ambiguity.

It's only a betrayal if you think Bronn has any loyalty to Tyrion or Jamie (or any loyalty at all). In episode 1, Cersi gave him the same crossbow Tyrion used to kill their father and paid him to go kill them.

I thought I remember on this thread, prior to this season starting, people trying to guess who was going to be the one who betrays Dany. Like it was written in prophecy or something. It was around the same time that we were talking about Dany getting pregnant because of prophecy.

I will put you squarely in the "he has loyalty to them" camp.

Arya tells Ed Sheeran in the forest she's going to kill the queen. Arya seems like the type to follow through w her threats. It would be really unexpected to give Arya BOTH of the big kills.

Her list has been one big threat, and lots of them were killed by other people.

Yes, in the same world where Ayra has already killed:

• polliver
• waif
• Meryn Trant
• the ENTIRE Frey family (avenging the red wedding single handedly)
• Little Finger
• and now the Night King

It'd be TOTALLY unexpected if she killed the last remaining villain that's been on her kill list since Season 2. And if there's nothing tv viewers love more, it's having 0 narrative arc payoff in lue of "unexpected = good story telling."
