Thanks for the new thread!

You're welcome.

Bringing on some of the discussion on previous thread.

Hmmm, No idea. However, he is still alive in books. I don't know if they will do the same in TV show or they will just never mention him.

We won't know but if Meera by some miracle abandoned Bran and went back to her house and I don't think this will happen

Quote:

I love their first meeting in S1, when the Lannisters came to Winterfell and Tyrion's speech to Jon that he too is a bastard in his father's eyes cause he's a dwarf. Very telling scene of how similar they both can be and it's the scene I started to like Tyrion

Exactly..Both have similarities. I forgot to mention that scene tho it's important. In that scene you can see how close they are. Both were treated like scum, unwanted..They felt alone and strangers among their own families. Both had nasty nicknames being called to piss them off or to shame them. I'd liked how Tyrion advised Jon in this scene and later to take this offence and make it as a shield. Yep! after watching this scene I had decided to mark Tyrion and Jon my beloved characters. How can I not

That will be awesome..Now Jon is not the bastard..He is the KITN and was LC and he was dead and came back

What a journey.. Tyrion too has changed much, he was accused falsely of killing hsi nephew and was sentenced to death, escaped by a miracle ( aka Jaime and Varys ) and killed his own father. His sister loathed him and wanted his head. Even his brother Jaime would kill him if he saw him ( I doubt it to be honest but he is angry ) and now had joined Dany to defeat his sister and the Lannisters to put Dany on the throne. So yeah I'll wait to see that scene eagerly.

An interview with Finn Jones ( Loras Tyrell ) talking about his role season 6

and he mentioned how he thinks the war should play out..

Quote:

I think the Iron Throne will be dissolved, both physically and ideologically. A Small Council will be set up — not to take power, but to give power back. Hopefully, a more democratic and more progressive era will arise on Westeros.”

That's what we were just talking about posts ago..A new system should be set and the wheel should be broken.

And Twitter had announced that Game of Thrones was the top trending television show over the past 12 months.

Game of Thrones was the top trending TV show on Twitter for 2016

Quote:

As we near the end of 2016, organizations are starting to put together their lists of top things for the year. Twitter is one of them. According to the company’s year-end stats, Game of Thrones was the top trending television show over the past 12 months.

Game of Thrones topped both AMC’s The Walking Dead and ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy to nab to the #1 spot.

It deserves that. Best TV show I have ever seen

Kinky-Cousin · 12-09-2016, 07:33 AM

It's going to be so weird seeing characters together that have either never met or have been separated most of the show. I can't wait to see how they interect.

**Arrakis** · 12-09-2016, 08:13 AM

It's just such a long time to wait.

But I'm sure it will be awesome.

I think you're right, they might not mention him at all plus it will be easy to find out Jon's parentage through him if he was around. Plus I prefer Bran telling Jon too.

Dany in S1 was kind of like them too. Viserys treated her like scum and he was family.

I like that Finn really does watch the show and have time to watch S7 as I'm sure he'll be done with shooting for Iron Fist that time.

I agree. And I expect the same for S7.

That's the beauty of the show. Some of these characters have been separated for so long that a reunion will feel so surreal. And because GoT rarely gives us happiness, reunions on the show are scarce.

**stlavin95** · 12-09-2016, 11:23 PM

Same..I can't wait either. It will be so exciting for all the fans.

I think we will get our new season in late May or early June so still 6 months left..Half a year it's long, I know but news, teasers trailers and in my case spoilers

keep us attracted and excited

Thanks, Lindsay

It's my first time to start a thread so I'm glad it went well..

Quote:

I agree. Bran will be the one to tell Jon and i like it this way. In a recent interview with Ellie Kendrick (Meera) she herself doesn't know about her father but from books so D&D won't involve Howland Reed backstory in the TV show

Quote:

Kendrick also touches on the backstory narration she did for the Blu-ray/DVD release of season 6 for the Great Tourney at Harrenhal.

Of the side stories, I’m really intrigued by Meera and Jojen’s parentage. Who the crannogmen are, who Howland Reed is — because we haven’t really seen him. I’ve got no idea, but I hope we get to a place where we can find out more about their backstory. It’s so mysterious. And in the books, Meera has a trident and a net — that’s how she fights people — and they eat frogs, they’re like these crazy kind of characters in the books. I want to find out about the crannogmen and the weirdness going on with them.

Quote:

Yeah! Her brother abused her and she has no other family but him. Dany recovered now. She is powerful. Her dragons are her family now. She overcame being abused much better than Jon and Tyrion Thanks to her dragons.

Quote:

He is a big fan. He read the books and he likes the whole world. When actor likes the story itself, not just doing what's in the script, he will understand more about the character he is doing and thus he will do it perfectly.

More photos of the cast

AND KIT

Fans who live in Belfast are very lucky

Oh my gosh, really? Then I'm glad that I asked you btw. I'm a bit tired of starting threads, especially on HP where half of the threads there I probably started.

Interview link

Thanks for this. I'm a bit weary reading GoT articles lately because of spoilers but thanks for quoting a part of the interview instead.

Quote:

She did. Once Viserys was gone, it was much easier for her. Granted there were still a lot of pricks along the way but Viserys was the one who I think made a deeper impact on Dany emotionally cause he was her brother.

Thanks for all the photos.

I also love this one with Zach Braff and his caption.

Winter came so hard.

**stlavin95** · 12-10-2016, 09:58 PM

I love Zach Braff

Valeerena · 12-11-2016, 06:39 AM

^ Winter did come hard indeed

. I liked the photo

You are welcome..Don't worry usually Actors interviews don't contain spoilers and I'm trying to be careful not to spoil any thing for any one.

Yep..He was her only family left and he just sells her like a whore and he beats her but still she has loved him because he was what she had only got. She got free and now Tyrion too after being valued by Dany and became Hand of the Queen. Jon just proved to every one he is not just Ned's bastard , he is more, he is a leader. He is the only one who can face the danger coming

**stlavin95** · 12-11-2016, 03:17 PM

The trouble is the WWs looks like they're heading for The Wall and Edd/Ghost are there.

Bran & Meera seems to be heading there too.
