The leaks are real, people. The previews and filming photos we've seen prior to this already prove that.

Besides, descriptions are always vague.

HBO's episode descriptions are some of the most useless descriptions in the business. Idk why they even bother releasing episode descriptions.

 

[Why]

Bran should take control of a Raven & he flies over the Night King & he poops on him

 

[flickchick85]

There have been some fake leaks and some legit leaks, though, right? Like the part about:

Spoiler

Jon and Dany hooking up

Was not in the same set of spoilers that are turning out to be true, was it?

It most certainly was.

Spoiler

It was right there with the wight hunt and other key scenes and plot lines. They are going to bang like it is the last thing they ever did on Earth.

 

[flickchick85]

O.....kay then.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

That was the part that made so many assume the leaks were fake. And then the photos started coming out, and all hell broke loose. It was fantastic on the Westeros boards.

 

[flickchick85]

Honestly, the other spoilers don't sound so bad to me. But that one...yeah.

 

[Iceman]

I love Jon with the Mormont shield. Ramsay can get F'd though.

What kind of sick **** buys a Ramsay doll? t:

You are reasonable though. Most ASoIaF aren't.

I don't know how I feel about almost any of the spoilers. I feel like these ones I just need to see for myself, in context.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Pretty much since the end of season 4 this show has run on spectacle more than good storytelling, so I don't expect that to change with Season 7.

 

[dude stannis]

 

[TheVileOne]

Yeah it's time for y'all to move from the denial stage to the stage of acceptance. Those spoilers were real.

If they came from Free Folk, they are real. If they came from 4Chan...

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Well season 5 had about 50 mins of good storytelling all season, so definitely yeah.

I thought season 6, while heavy on the spectacle, was on part with the majority of the series in terms of storytelling. Which has always had its ups and downs imo.

I actually think Season 6 might be the worst offender, as far as having ups and downs. It was the season that had arguably the best episode and arguably the worst.

The best one being The Winds of Winter and the worst.... ?

Also, as someone who hasn't read the books, which were the most important things I needed to remember before tuning in for S7? (finished S6 last year so might have forgotten something). Basically:

Spoiler

- Danny is entering Westeros having formed an alliance with Yara and Theon while Euron is building ships with possibly making alliance with.. Cersei?
- Cersei is now the Queen of the 7 kingdoms and judging by Jamie's look from the last episode, he is about to have a Queenslayer moment at some point in the future.
- The Walkers are about to cross the Wall.
- Bran is about to head to Winterfell in order to warn everyone about the Walkers and Jon's true parentage?
- Littlefinger is about lure Jon Snow into some trap.
- Jon and Sansa are about to unify the North against Cersei/White Walkers.

Let me know if I am missing something major.

that's the thing i want to see happen the most, but there haven't been any photos proving that to make the leak look most likely. [BLACKOUT]it said they have sex on a boat heading north. there's no photos of them on a boat together heading north. there's only photos of them on dragonstone together and of him leaving dragonstone on a boat full of guys, with her bidding him farewell[/BLACKOUT]

Major spoiler in this tag so no one open it unless you want to be spoiled:

Spoiler

I may be misremeembering, but I thought they have sex when they are heading back down South after Dany saves Jon from the White Walkers? She just lost a dragon and Jon's attempt to capture one of the enemy was a total failure and they seek comfort with each other.

Yes, but all the other spoilers are being confirmed by the leaked photos and the trailers. This is just like season 5 and 6. Where the biggest spoilers are confirmed by knowing the majority are already confirmed.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Which would be the best and worst for you Roose?

Winds of Winter and No One.

You can't begin to imagine how much I never wanted to see anything Braavos related after seeing how sloppily that whole thing concluded.

 

[Marvolo]

No One had some genuinely satisfying moments. The return of the Blackfish, Arya playing helpless and killing that *****, the Hound killing those SOBs, Dany returning to Mereen, Frankenmountain killing the Faith Militant, Jaime at Riverrun, and Brienne and Jaime reuniting.

The only really awful things in the episode are Blackfish dying off screen, Brienne and Pod being useless at Riverrun, and that extremely awkward scene with Tyrion, Grey Worm, and Missandei.

ummm yeah I do remember reading that actually, when the spoilers were leaked early on (end of last year)? since then though, [BLACKOUT]i've only read leaked reports that they have sex in the season finale. unless they have sex twice lol[/BLACKOUT]

isn't it possible that some of the leaks were right and some of them were just hard guesses?

I'm talking about them having sex in the finale. I thought they have sex while heading South. Then the next scene is the last scene of the season when the Night's King attacks the Wall.

 

[Roose Bolton]

I don't think any of the Arya scenes were satisfactory at all . The Hound scenes were let down by the expectation and Stoneheart hints that ultimately led to nothing. The Mountain killing people is nothing new at this and is just an exercise in brutality. Jaime and Brienne was also marred by a larger problem which has become apparent for the last few seasons, which is Jaime's devolution after all the growth and development we saw him undergo in Seasons 3/4.

Really the only positive of the episode (and it was a boring episode more than anything, which is really a cardinal sin on a show of this scale) was seeing them finally address House Tully after they seemingly forgot about them few a few years.
