Apologies, he does not explicitly say it but hints at it.

The magic-religion bit was something quite old, but I'm positive he says something about magic being interpreted as Godhood/religion.

Is that Dayne dual wielding?

I'm thinking this isn't following the books at all!

Definitely

I think thats Gerold Hightower or the other dude. Casting call mentioned Dayne having a "legendary sword"

The April 24 premiere title is: “The Red Woman.”


Guess we won't have to wait till 5 episodes for Jon's resurrection.

Ser Arthur Dayne bitches.

What is it with this spins in fighting... they're everywhere gotta give it to them though - they got the reaction to this stupidity spot on

The last trailer has got me so hyped.

Did anyone notice Walder Frey drinking with Lannister soldiers? Reverse Red Wedding is coming, I reckon Blackfish and the Brotherhood are going to crash it. Maybe even Arya considering he is on her list.

Yara/Asha is taking Victarions journey to Meereen. I can't believe they even bothered with this storyline, but I'm hyped nonetheless, Euron is probably getting a *bleep* dragon.

Jaime and Brienne reunion in the Riverlands. And more importantly Pod and Bronn. Dare we dream for LSH? I'm not a fan of that character so I hope she is not but I know many book readers love that storyline.

The Hound is being brought back by Ian McShane! Cleganebowl hype!

Davos appears to be in Bear Island where Rickon is probably being held by the Mormonts, which of course makes a lot of sense. Wyman Manderly was cast aswell among many Northern lords.

Snowbowl will be the largest battle GoT has had compared to all the previous ones in GoT. That shit took 3 months to film.

On top of that we're getting the Battle of Meereen aswell as the Siege of Riverrun.

Season will be stacked with events.

Oh for *bleep* sake here we go again.

Not hyped for the lady tbh, but happy to see Thoros is returning -- now Gendry is the only loose end left as far as I remember.

Should post this in the show thread.

meh lady stoneheart isn't a shock factor anymore. everyone knows about her.

Some E1 pics have leaked, legit shocked and terrified at THE one:

(Obviously beware S6 and TWOW spoilers)

lmao (yeah spoiler)

To be honest I'm starting to look forward to this. It'll be hilarious

Staying away from those...

Please try to stop with hints without spoiler tags too. Now I know something bad will happen in Dorne.

Oops, sorry man did not realize I was spoiling with that comment.

Where do you draw the line? Because trailers and promo pics have been posted before which definitely 'spoil' that some scenes will be in it

Anyways spoiler tagged mine as well

Not sure if we have been through this before but this is fantastic read

Discusses that Beric and Coldhands both were animated by Bloodraven and so will Jon and they aren't exactly resurrected as neither are alive.

lmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao it's 10 times worse I expected
Sandsnakes

I don't care about that storyline without Doran, burn it to the ground.

Tbh I don't even have any idea what the point of Dorne is anymore after what happened this episode.
The scene where they killed Trystane. Wow. For me that might've be the worst scene in all of GoT up till now.

The only way I will come to somewhat not hate what they have done to Dorne is if this is the last Dorne scene. If this is HBO's way of saying "we have screwed Dorne beyond all recognition, this is us saying game over" then good riddance.

Also felt that the Mel reveal at the very ending was designed only to shock the audience but didn't further the plot in any way. Felt kind of cheap.

That being said, it's kinda cool to see the "Melisandre's necklace is a glamour" theory pay off.

Overall pretty weak episode.

Bad Poosay Brigade taking over Dorne

Oberyn would want his brother and nephew murdered right?

Areo Hotah and Doran wasted like that, I can't believe it. Sand Snakes are by far the worst characters on the show.
