[TheFuture]

Dumbledore wouldn't be on your side Roose, you're too much of s bollox.

 

[Reek]

Given that the Bastardbowl is soon...

No more teaching you foolish flock of hens.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Dumbledore wouldn't be on your side Roose, you're too much of s bollox.

He was sleeping with Gellert Grindelwald, and that guy killed more people than I ever did.

 

[Reek]

$50 says Loras is Dumbledore in the prequel movies

 

[Roose Bolton]

Did Loras ever smoke that much crack?

 

[Reek]

ass crack or actual crack

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Wun Wun is definitely going to die. I think the odds are good Davos and Tormund die, too.

I'm hoping Wyman Manderly saves the day instead of Littlefinger. Or is at least with the Knights of the Vale.

 

[chamber-music]

Tormund can't die without hooking up with brienne

 

[Fist of Khonshu]

And Rickon and Ghost.

The latter I'm bettin'. Maybe Flints too.

 

[enquencle]

And Rickon and Ghost.

Hell no. If the kill Ghost, i will riot. He's got to make it to the end game. It would be so disappointing if there are no direwolves left, since Nymeria is missing too.

 

[Fist of Khonshu]

Nymeria will be back, they're not going leave any loose ends like that.

 

[Marvolo]

I wouldnt call Nymeria a loose end. Arya sent her into the wild. There's no reason to think she has anymore story in the films.

 

[Roose Bolton]

We're like...14 episodes from the series finale. They haven't even hinted at Nymeria still being alive or Arya being a Warg. I think it's a plot that was cut in the adaptation process.

 

[Fist of Khonshu]

I wouldnt call Nymeria a loose end. Arya sent her into the wild. There's no reason to think she has anymore story in the films.

The Stark kids were each given a wolf at the very beginning of this saga for a reason, and that's part of their story. Nymeria will be back.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

And Rickon and Ghost.

I think Ghost will live. He's the most notable of the direwolves after Summer. I don't expect Jon to bring him into battle.

I think Gendry picked up Nymeria.

 

[Reek]

Ghost not being in this battle would be a ****ing crime.

 

[Marvolo]

In the books maybe, but not in the show. If Nymeria was going to play a role they wouldn't have cut Ayra's warging and her wolf dreams. The only reason she might come back in the books is because Arya mentally connects with her. Without that Nymeria is just a wild direwolf that spent very little time with a human girl. Nymeria has been in the wild possibly with her own pack. Nymeria has no reason at all to behave like a tamed dog or to hunt down Arya.

And they have killed Greywind, Shaggydog, Summer, [BLACKOUT]and possibly kill Ghost tonight.[/BLACKOUT] I really don't think D&D give a **** about the direwolves.

 

[Victarion]

The show seems to have made the wolves symbolic of a loss of innocence or some such.

 

[rashad]

Powerful scenes tonight.

 

[rashad]

Wooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rashad]

**** him up JON!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rashad]

Release the hounds on that ass!!!

The direwolves were integrated into the Stark family. They are symbols of that family and its survival. If they hadn't made points of showing both their rescue and adoption, and Arya's farewell scene with Nymeria, then I might agree, it's just an insignificant pet. I'm willing to bet money that Nymeria reappears. Arya will be back in the Riverlands soon I think and there will be some kind of opportunity for a reunion.

 

[Marvolo]

Walder is not going to have a good time next week. Arya Stark of Winterfell will be sending her regards.

They showed their rescue and adoption because it happened in the book and season 1 stayed close to the book. And the farewell scene was shown to explain why the wolf was gone and why Lady would be getting the axe. But they have since dropped all of the Arya Nymeria stuff. They clearly do not care about the Arya Nymeria relationship.

The only thing the direwolves are there to do now is to signify loss. Nymeria signified loss when she was sent away. They won't bring back a budget sucking direwolf when that direwolf's role in the shiw was finished 5 seasons ago. They barely want to spend the time and budget on Ghost. They didn't even feature him in the Battle for Winterfell, because they needed to use that budget for the three dragons. Do you really think they are going to take away more budget for a second direwolf? No,Ghost is the only direwolf that you will be seeing, and he will probably die before the end so they can dedicate more of the vfx budget to the dragons.
