Her sleeping with his dad after everything his dad had done to him makes that really hard to believe. She even used the "my lion" line with Tywin like she did with Tyrion.
You don't do that to someone you love. Especially so soon after "loving" them.
Random nonsensical, baseless speculation:
"We could stay a thousand years "
But really, I can't help but notice how similar the landscape is and yes I know different locations, still her line feels like some foreshadowing.
She felt betrayed him. That's all there is to it.
Love turns to hate pretty easily.
Every time I look at Iwan, I always think to myself ...."this guy almost played Jon Snow" and feel creeped out by it.
I remember seeing him as the protagonist in some movie a while back and I was like "NOPE SORRY DON'T TRUST YOU BRO" for the entire film.
You're overlooking the complete power imbalance between the head of a noble house and a sex worker in this medieval setting
She didn't have much of a choice. She was surviving
I'll laugh my ass off when he plays the coolest character in D&D's Star Wars films.
Lol never read the books, so coming from a mainly show perspective has me wildly fascinated.
everyone is happy that Jon is king of the north while Cat is rolling in her grave.
So in the books, Euron has the NK's Powers? Is he the antagonist whose suppose to go against the living and side with the WW's?
The thing is 99% of the viewers don't remember who the heck Tysha is.
Well, she's not exactly rolling, lol
The Night King and White Walkers are way way way more explicit in the show. They are called The Others in the books, and the first scene from the first episode/first chapter of the first book and when Sam fights and kills one is all we see of them. The rest is just legend and rumor that people talk about. The books are all from first person perspectives of a single character per chapter. So there's no *WHOOSH* "now we're seeing far north of the wall as the Night king gathers with his White Walkers and transform a baby" scenes, and all of the magic and prophecy stuff is filtered through a subjective lens of whatever character's head you're currently in. The show has to be more explicit and literal with some things, which gives it a different tone.
Euron in the books is up to some kind of large scale blood magic ritual, but it's unclear how much of what he says is boasting and lies, and how much is true. He's definitely a very bad guy, though. He is an antagonist, but the conflicts in the books are much more widespread and still disconnected. The show has pulled everyone together from across the world, but the books aren't there yet.

They could bring Howland Reed in to give legitimacy to Jon's crown.
So their barely in the books?
Also upon further thought. What if the spiral design the umber boy was impaled too was the Night Kings sigil. A way to identify himself.
I hope we see more of the WW home like this and get more info about them in general. Them bringing back the ominous symbols this last episode kinda gives me hope they are going to expand on their lore.
Hardhome in the books doesn't even include a WW battle. There are rumors of them being there, but nothing laid out as plainly as the show. And Jon doesn't go there.
You are going to be so lost lol there are ALOT of characters and storylines in the books that don't exist in the show.
People talk about them and see the wights in the books, but we only see them directly a couple of times. Jon receives a letter about what's happening at Hardhome pleading for help and talking about "dead things in the water", rather than going there to fight himself, for example.
So does Jon die yet in the books?
at this point I'm actually tempted to read the books.
You should, they'll all great.
They're even better if you're already a fan of the show since it shows you a different take on the stories but also you get some completely new stuff that had to be dropped because the show can't be 50 episodes each season.
Potentially, yes. There are allusions there. He's definitely positioned in a Night's King role. Not the show Night King who is the ancestor of all the White Walkers but the historical Night King that was a human that allied with the White Walkers. Or the Bloodstone Emperor who is said to have been the human that started the Long Night.
But he's not Sauron. He's more like Saruman. He's even in the process of conquering Oldtown and taking the Hightower(the tall as tower in the show) as his base complete with the GOT equivalent of a palantir there that allows him to do long distance communication.
His ultimate goal seems to be to ride a wave of chaos, marry Daenerys, become a dragon-rider and ascend to godhood like Bran and become some sort of Eldricht dragon-riding God-King of the world.

Yeah. He's been dead for 8 years since the release of the fifth book. Any day now, GRRM. ;-;
If you're a slow reader then I recommend to start reading. If you're a fast reader then wait until TWOW is announced or ar least after the show is done.
Same endpoints between book and show so you'll catch some cool foreshadowing from the ending in book one.
There's apparently a scene in the first book that directly foreshadows the final scene of the series.

I love all the Victarion and Dorne stuff in the books but I can see why it was cutdown significantly in the show. The show would have needed to until season 20 or someshit.
When they want me to tell the world I stabbed Arthur Dayne in the back
I would have loved to see Game of Thrones spread out to 100 episodes. 10 seasons with 10 episodes each would have given more time for the story to develop and they could have included a few cut storylines and/or characters.
Oh well. Maybe we'll get an animated version once the books are finished.

Lol. True true.When they want me to tell the world I stabbed Arthur Dayne in the back
But he could continue to hide that part of the lie :)
I'd love an animated series. 10 seasons would have been too long, you would have ended up with important actors leaving along the way.
I would HIGHLY recommend them. The way they are written is fantastic. You go from character to character and see the events evolve from their perspective.
And like I said there are theories galore. The show is great, but shallow in terms of the lore and detail. The books are the ocean by comparison.
The Reeds come to Winterfell to join other houses for war.
I think Bran would expose him.
"You came from behind him and stabbed him. My father picked up the Dayne family sword and cut his throat".
Meera Reed: "Father, is this true?"
Howland Reed: "uhhh"
Been dead for 8 years, and his stabbing by his fellow brothers was actually justified instead of the nonsense in the show. Jon actually earned his stabbing in the books. He fully broke his vows to the NW and declared treason.
It should be noted, that the BIG thing us book watchers want to know is how Jon will change upon being resurrected. In the show, there doesn't seem to be a lick of difference and no one really seems to care despite this guy rising from the dead. I HIGHLY doubt Book Jon being resurrected will be exactly the same as he was before he was stabbed to death.
Dude he talked to Sansa about the night she was raped by Ramsey.
There is no line Bran will not cross lol
Only thing I disagree with is when he complains when a scene is nothing but cgi dragons when im pretty sure there would be even more of these scenes in a more faithfull adaptation.
I like that he calls Sansa Sandra. Idk why he does it or why its funny but it just is. Also Bran 9000
You know, Jaime killed Dany's father, so I could see Sansa helping out Jaime in his trial just to spite Dany.
I also think Brienne might just shut up if Sansa doesn't seem inclined to help him.

Isaac confirming that Bran is playing at a different dimension than everyone else.
this actually feels like massive spoilers, I'm shocked he was so revealing
I think he was being more direct than people realize, I'm almost positive there will be time travel shenanigans again now
"There's a difference between not liking one's brother and not caring when some dumb Irish flatfoot drops him out of a window."
She's been wasted. Killing the Freys was cool, but other than that I don't think they've done anything good with her in a looong while. I hope they redeem her character rather than just kill her though. This episode I just didn't buy any of her emotions. It all felt...off.
It feels important that the Night's Watch had a damn good reason to assassinated Jon in the books. He has to learn how to properly rule, and even though his intentions were mostly altruistic, he ultimately failed.
Show Jon learned nothing because his actions as Lord Commander were justified. He was just saddled with Night's Watchmen.

I think this basically confirms to me that the Lord of Light and Bran are either the same person or are the same role.
And the Night King is the equivalent of the Great Other.
