Someone said the analogy is Bran is google, but needs Sam as the search to work.

It was asked if he can see the future I was giving an example.

I wonder if Bran can also see the future?

He is the three eyed raven. Past, Present and Future = 3 eyes?

He saw the wildfire destruction of the Sept of Baelor. 2nd part of his vision at the start of S6E6.

Was he watching it real time, rather than in the future? In the last episode he said to Sam he can see what has happened, and what is happening.

Just to clarify my thinking, are we saying that Rhaegar Targaryen had two sons, each named Aegon? And that nobody at the time knew that the second one had been born?

[Sheets Tabuer]

Yes

Or as my dad at 67 was watching it as bran witnessed the name "Ian Targaryan" who the fk is Ian Targaryan? Ian, thats a crap name.

Did Jon Snow exhibit any heat-resistant properties?

If not, why not?

[otolith]

He's only half Targaryen, and we've seen that not all inbred Targaryens are fireproof.

[Halb]

That's also a show thing.

We can have a book discussion when GRRM's disembodied head in a jar finally finishes writing it.

They're going to shoot multiple endings to try and stop leaks.

But also, the article claims there's only going to be six episodes, and we may not get to see the final season until 2019.

[Sway]

It amazes me how st they are at preventing leaks.

When Star Wars can achieve it, surely GoT can?

I'm surprised HBO haven't thought about ditching the TV show format and turn the last season into a Peter Jackson style trilogy of cinema films.

Would make a clear billion profit.

I don't think I am alone in thinking that the last season of GOT was a bit rubbish.

We love the show because of all the personalities, enmities, scheming, intrigues, tantalizing possibilities, double-crossings and dastardly dealings.

When the story is reduced to a humans vs zombies battle there is no place for any of the Littlefinger / Cersei / Stark / High Sparrow stuff anymore, so 90% of what made us watch is destroyed.

The White Walkers worked well as a fearsome legend, but in the flesh (?) they are devoid of anything that makes me care about them one way or the other. They are just zombies, meh - any not very scary ones.

The script writers will need to pull something special out of the bag to make me care about watching a new series. Now, if it transpired that the White Walkers were being controlled by a human character, that would be good...

This is, I think, the only reason to keep Cersei around, to have some sort of "relatable" threat.

I'm curious to see what the night's king end goal is though.

Yeah for a show where every character is multifaceted (even Sansa, finally!), the WW are a pretty one dimensional enemy and the brief glimpse bran gave us into their history doesn't encourage us to dwell on their motivation.

Surely he must know how the children lost control, what the issues were, etc. In the books, didn't a Lord Commander of the watch once side with a white walker woman?

[Halb]

Well, they've started casting, so that means they've written the stuff

Which ironically is why the last season was ruined for me.

Personally I think this season should have been ten episodes and been filled with political manoeuvring and various battles, and reached a logical conclusion. Then have next season be six episodes or what have you to finish things off with the war with the WW.

I was thinking a bit "Pirates of the Caribbean", where they are cursed and are looking for a way to get back to normal, but I imagine it's more a revenge story of sorts.
