Yea ... maybe some holy water. A cross?

I think Roose's death is going to be disappointing as ****.. just cause D&D hate great actors.

There is way too much truth in this.

 

[Reek]

I kind of hope

Spoiler

Jon doesn't kill Ramsay, just beats the **** out of him and somehow it ends up Sansa gets the kill... I want Jon to kill Roose... but again, i think Roose is dying in like episode 6 or so.

Spoiler

I liked the idea that Jon executed Ramsay, but on Sansa's say so. Like she orders it, and gets to watch him die. Would be a nice throwback to Baelor, but with Sansa smiling at the end.

With Roose, I can't see anyone but Ramsay killing him at this point.

 

[Reek]

Yea at Sansa's command works just fine.

And agreed on roose, hell.... given how they treated Barristan, they might

Spoiler

kill off roose early on in like ep 3, having Ramsay take control of the winterfell and making it completely *ahem* dreadful...

Well hopefully its more satifying than [blackout]Hornigold's[/blackout] death on Black Sails. Still pissed about that anti-climactic BS.

 

[Reek]

You're talking about the show that allowed Stannis to be a complete idiot and Brienne got to kill him for a reason that goes against everything her character pretends to stand for lol.

It will be bad.

 

[BrollySupersj]

We actually got some pretty big spoilers for the battle in the North awhile ago. The trailer seemed to confirm its authenticity, as things described in it, can be found in the trailer.

Warning, massive spoilers and I mean it:

Any other spoilers of this caliber?

 

[Drz]

I don't get why people are excited for the Winterfell battle, it just sounds generic compared to what masterplan Stannis is having in the books.

 

[Reek]

Because if hardhome is any indication, it could be an awesome battle scene... we don't have much else to go on other then the trailer so who knows what else is going on.

Yep, I can see that happening [BLACKOUT]really early on[/BLACKOUT]. And of coursem it will be super anti-climatic.

Any other spoilers of this caliber?

All that is out there right now.

Pretty sure this was the direction the books were going anyways and the battle sounds amazing.

All of GOT major battle episodes have been aces. Why shouldn't I be excited? If the Battle of the Bastards is as good as the Battle of Castle Black and the Massacre of Hardhome Im going to be extremely pleased.

And its a little early to compare the Battle of the Bastards to something that may or may not happen in a book that may not come out for years. When WOW actually comes out then Ill compare Stannis's "masterplan" in action to the Battle of the Bastards. Even then, the show is the show and the books are the books. Two different things in two different mediums. One of which is limited by time, budget, and resources. Gotta keep things in perspective.

 

[BrollySupersj]

It reminds me of this sword from LOTR:

Yeah this is much more accurate.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Neither sound as cool as the "other" big battle that's getting the shaft in the show. The Battle of Fire sounds like the most insane thing in the series, armies of slavers, sellswords, Unsullied, Brazen Beasts, Barristan's newly christened Knights, Dothraki, Pit Fighters, the entire Volantian navy, Victarion Greyjoy and his Iron Fleet and two extremely pissed off dragons all in one battle. That's Peter Jackson stuff right there.

I wish the show could do that battle with that scale.

 

[Roose Bolton]

The Golden Company arriving in the Stormlands with War Elephants would have been another cool thing. Really the GC's general aesthetic and the Sellswords culture would have been nice to have seen in such a large scale conflict.

Plus it would have made use of Dornish troops, which I'm not sure we'll see this season.

 

[dude stannis]

The Stannis battle in TWOW sounds a lot different, more strategy based.

Not to mention the bloody flux victims being catapulted into Meereen. I need TWOW now.

So that clip seems like [BLACKOUT]those 'Sansa is pregnant' theories[/BLACKOUT] aren't true?

 

[Reek]

Maybe Theon gets his dick back and works it out accordingly.

 

[dude stannis]

A long iron prothetic dong?

 

[Reek]

a long silver prosthetic dong yes
