Regarding the White Walkers, I wonder if they'll simply go around the wall (east) because the sea freezes over.
Question.

If this is the case, has there been no long winters since the wall was constructed? I know the seasons are longer, but how much longer?


Else every year or so they'd already be skipping over when the sea froze over.

Will The Hound become the dude reborn and somehow get a flaming sword?

I don't know. What I do know, (as I have the box set) is that in this current season (7), the opening credit graphics show the area previously shown as blue (for the sea), is now white, the same as the land. Why would this be?

(Am sad and paused it to check)

Are we sure Yara isn't dead?

I thought that was her body hung from the front of Euron's boat as he sailed away.....
I'm presuming those are the two dead Sand daughters. In the E3 trailer, we get a very brief glimpse of a woman behind Euron in his parade. Looks like Ellaria Sand judging by the hair style.

One Sand daughter that was below deck and captured, I'm wondering if Cersei will poison that daughter as her revenge for her own daughter's death and use Ellaria as hostage to keep Dorne out of the fight.

The two dead sand snakes; the one speared is the one who used the spear, the one hanging is the one who used the whip.

Thing that gets me is - The Dani crowd has Varys; Yara knew Euron was building ships; Tyrion knew Euron was building ships; they'd all had a planning session around the map, but none of them knew about Euron's ships or even thought to prepare for contingency? Whereas Euron had no intelligence sources.. Pretty basic error considering the collective experience.

It is not a stretch to presumable Euron had some Iron Born spys on Yara's ships.

I agree with the rest, it does exposed that Yara's is not a very good commander, it is her lack of planning that has allowed her ships to ambushed so easily, shows she isn't really up to the job.

Pretty sure the trailer showed Berric Dondarrion waving a flaming sword - however may just be a parlour trick as Stannis' was.

It really wouldn't surprise me that if after all the hype with Dany and the dragons for 6 seasons that they got wiped out immediately.

Seems to big a plot point to be blown in a trailer....

And it is always mentioned that Thoros of Myr was the first through the breach during the Greyjoy rebellion with his flaming sword. I think the flaming swords we have seen have all be parlour tricks.

We were discussing this at work and someone said that they thought that when Cersie met Melisandre when she was a child and that she predicted/foresaw that all three of her children would die, that they thought she also said that she would die at the hand of her younger brother and has always mistrusted Tyrion ever since. Then went on to speculate that whilst Jamie and Cersie are twins, Cersie is actually the elder by a few minutes so technically Jamie is also her younger brother and therefore is the person who kills her according to the red witches prophesy.

No idea personally if any of those details are correct, sounded plausible though. biggrin
Common theory on the net smile
