That's the one thing the show has done brilliantly!

They literally 'map' it out for you in the beginning of every episode. They 'carry' you around all the different cities and provinces/continents. What else do you want?

They've shown nearly every major area on the map, in detail for many as well.

I already no the general layout of Westeros, and the map intro is good for newcomers to get a sense of location, but for the specifics I brought up I don't think it really points out the finer detail of the Neck/Twins/Vale/Riverrun/Kings road area. Or if it does it goes by pretty quick and locations don't necessarily show up in the same intro's.

Also back in Kingslanding, with Margery showing her Grandma she's still loyal to house Tyrell I'm curious if there's an angle she's playing there by no longer consummating her marriage. Is she going to deny the Faith and the Lannisters an heir for Tommen? And to what end?

Episode 9 and 10 is directed by the guy who did Hardhome so I'm expecting epicness to end the season.

Episodes are long too.

 

[darko]

2nd best.

The Adventures of Tyrion, Bronn and Pod would be #1.

decent reference guide for where everything is. just switch from chapter to episodes on the tool to make it sync with the tv series.

Re:map, I always thought Iron Islands were further up north, like not far from Bear Island. Makes that Theon idea of taking over Winterfell even more idiotic.

This week has to have some good stuff to keep me from lot getting distracted and looking ahead to episode 9

What about Arya and the Hound. Really looking forward to a reunion of that happy mess lol

The fact that they are a naval power and that Winterfell is an inland city is bad enough.

He should have raided it and left if he was set on doing it.

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

Yeah, that's also why the Greyjoys weren't able to hold Deepwood Motte.

Like father like son. Both somehow decided they could take and keep inland cities and territory.

 

[Mrb1p]

Have you guys seen the new Aryatheory? If this is what is going to happen, I'm going to be really happy. Another comeback

 

[dogbazinho]

You'll probably have to clarify. There are a hundred Arya theories and none of them are particularly new. Even before the episode some were predicting the theory I think you're alluding to.

There was a reason Robb thought they would ally with him against the Lannisters. Lannisport is right next to them and probably the most valuable thing they could grab by sea power in the immediate vincity. Plus as independance movements they'd be each others only viable long-term allies. Robb didn't anticipate Euron being a strategic incompetent motivated by a gruge against Ned Stark.

Instead in a pique of stupidity they decided to attack the North's western shore, which was an easy target but got them pretty much no where in terms of the Iron Born's long term goals.

Balon. Euron is not incompetent just bat **** crazy.

I think someone has made a theory of every person who has ever been in Braavos at some point helping her.

Just need an iron bank theory and a Stannis theory to round it out.

Round 7: A Winner Has No Name...Again


Game Of Thrones: Season 6: Death Prediction List

How To Play/Rules/Notices:

- Post who you think will die next. I will update the list at least once a day, as the season goes on. I will update every page or two and post the updated list, every couple of pages.

- One pick per poster.

- No takesies-backsies. Once you've chosen, you're locked in till the next episode airs.

- Flashback Deaths - Your pick has to be someone who is currently alive. Now that flashbacks are more common in the show, they may also contain scenes of people dying, who are already dead. You can't pick a current dead person to die, even if we're shown that previous death scene.

- BOOK READERS - As always, we kindly request that if you know who is going to die next, please refrain from participating. The show has caught up to and surpassed the books in some storylines....so at the end of the day, use your best judgement. If you honestly don't know and are 'guessing', then you're most welcome to do so.

- And please feel free to give your character choice a 'nickname' [Ex. Meryn 'Pedo' Trant, Podrick 'Tri-Pod' Payne]. If you don't feel like it adding a nickname, i'll do it for you.

- The first poster(s) whose character choice dies, wins.(The character doesn't have to be the first person to die in the episode)

- Cut-Off Time to get to your pick in are Sundays, 4pm EST/7pm PST

So is the Dorne storyline just done or was it cut or what's the deal here?

Shhhhhh

Maybe if we all act like it never happened they won't make us watch any more of that terrible storyline.

You no nuthin, RandV.

That's an interesting angle too actually. Never thought of that. I think Cersei said once to Sansa, during the Battle of BlackWater, that "tears aren't a woman's only weapon. The best one is between your legs".

Maybe Marge understands that as well, and uses it to control Tommen. The choice then for Tommen is about what's more important to him? His faith, or his urges? Seems like a solid play on her part for undercutting High Sparrow's control on Tommen with one hand, and staying pious and in the good graces of HS with the other. She's a smart chick. Olenna has taught her well. Maybe that's why Marge thought it would be better to let Olenna go before something happened to her.

Hope you don't mind if I modified it a bit. Loved that show.

Mace Tyrell set up a network to help her when he visited. Mace is a genius and a master tactician, so the plan will be amazing.

That's fine

 

[Sharpshooter]

Mace Tyrell set up a network to help her when he visited. Mace is a genius and a master tactician, so the plan will be amazing.

What if Mace is pulling a 'Keyser Soze' this whole time? Acting like the singing and bumbling fool, who can't even steer his own horse, to keep himself off of everyone's radar, while he quietly manoeuvres behind people's back?

The Tyrells don't have any love for the Lannisters, and i'm sure that's true of Mace as it is for Olenna, Loras, and Margaery. What if Mace went to Bravos and made side deals that we don't know of with the Iron Bank? The small council unwittingly sent him, which could have played right into his hands, and by the time they'll figure out whatever Mace may have done, it'll be too late, and he'll be 'walking like a boss' having pulled off Westeros biggest coup/fake-out?

I'm telling ya, it would make people's mouths drop if Mace turned out to be some genius strategist.
