Game of Thrones Season 6
- Thread starter Galseigin
- Start date
Although it appears that the lead characters or dominant characters in GOT at the moment are all female does not make it so. Lets not forget that tides shift very quickly in GOT. Nobody actually knows what type of "dark magic" was used to bring Gregor Clegane back to life. At this point can he actually die??? Right now Cersei controls and commands Gregor. But what if someone finds a way to control him? Maybe Bran or maybe someone else. Then turns him against Cersei. Powerful female characters on the rise is great however has everyone forgotten about the White Walkers? The last time the White Walkers showed up they almost wiped out castle black. Little finger is still a threat. Tyrion Lannister is still a drunken genius. Arya is now a silent assassin with 1000 faces but I think Jaime picked up on her a little. Always hear people talking about the Mother of Dragons. Yes she has dragons, ships and an army however how do we know that she will be able to maintain leadership over them? Sometimes her dragons don't even listen to her... That's what makes GOT great. Anything can happen. I will tune in next season and I will hope for my favorite character Jon Snow. Please don't die Jon Snow. You know something...
There are many open storylines in GoT, and seemingly little plot left to cover, if popular theories (many mentioned above) are correct.
Jon Snow would be Dany's nephew - popular theories have long had them getting together as "Ice" and "Fire" (remember the title of the first book?) That Dany needs an alliance with the King in the North seems simple enough to set up; that they are related is no impediment to their nuptials (being accustomed to, umm, keeping it in the family).
But nobody knows Jon's parentage but us, and Bran - so he still has a role to play in letting others know. And some theories have him in a time loop as the three-eyed raven - basically that he wargs into others to tell Jon what needs to be told - then stays in the past and grows roots into the tree .. until many years later when he meets his younger self in the previous season.
The Lannisters have no money - despite Cersei assuming the Iron Throne, she has no army and the Tyrell's money is now working against her. The Bank of Braavos is unlikely to extend further credit. Jamie has the Lannister army at his command, and he has been developed into a more significant character, but even Stannis could take Kings Landing in a walk if he attacked today instead of earlier.
We haven't heard from Mormont since he was sent on his Quest for a Cure .. we'll probably see a few minutes over the next two seasons with stories about him, the Dornish, the Brotherhood, Arya, Brienne, etc .. but they seem to be developed as diversionary characters rather than the main plot.
But we shall see ..

With so much to cover I hope they don't leave any plot holes. I was reading online that there are only 2 more seasons until the end of the series but I am not sure how true that information is. Hopefully they stretch it out a bit as it's the best show ever!
Iloura, a special effects company that handled a lot of the VFX on Game of Thrones’ groundbreaking “Battle of the Bastards” episode, has released an impressive reel breaking down what was real and what was computer-generated. As you might expect, a lot of it was computer-generated. Have a watch.
Jason Mamoa, formerly known as Khal Drogo, keeps reacting to Daenerys’ scenes on Game of Thrones. Here he is giving a well informed opinion of Daario.

His words of advice for Drogon are probably the best

Rumor is that they're also shortening the seasons, so that there's only 13 episodes left...in total! That hasn't been officially stated yet, but they did scale back on their number of directors for season 7. You can take from that what you will.
Actually, it has been confirmed by the show runners David Benoiff and D.B. Weiss in an interview with Deadline:
^^^ As sad as that is to read, it actually makes sense.
You don't want the show to turn into Madmen (say) where it just becomes repetitive and boring.

They said another 13 - 15 hours of the show is left. I think they are going to have the regular one hour episodes, then maybe a two hour finale.
Since they confirmed R+L= Jon of Nazareth, next season should have flashbacks of Rhaegar.
They had a few episodes this season where not enough happened IMHO, then some that were off the charts EPIC. So they need to moderate that a bit. If they can deliver have those episodes as epic and the rest as pretty good, then that will be amazing.
Yes, the pacing isn't really the greatest. That was a big mistake in season 5, where the first several episodes were somewhat dull, but the last few episodes were incredible. They didn't really learn a whole lot from that....
Every episode can't be epic, you have to develop plot and characters. When they have characters or storylines, that don't really interest you, the show seems really dull. I thought they spent too much time with Arya training, but they were combining her with other characters from the book. Also those epic episode cost a lot money to make.
There won't be any war between Littlefinger and Cersei, they don't have time for that secondary strife. Cersei has way bigger fish to deal with, Dorne and the Tyrells, and now comes the Dragon Queen! Plus Littlefinger is going to spend next season, stabbing Jon of Nazareth in the back. All while trying to get Sansa on his side.
Next seasons focus:
Euron Greyjoy attacking Dany at sea, or forming a alliance with Cersei and attacking the north.
Flashbacks with Rhaegar and his love story w/ Lyanna.
Arya continuing killing people on her list, meeting up with Melisandre.
Bran crossing the wall, and it coming down probably in seasons end.
Jon finding out who he really is, while Littlefinger plans for his demise.
Sam learning knowledge about how to stop the Nightking/army of the dead.
Somehow Cersei kills those greedy bitches in Dorne.
Siege of Kingslanding and it's destruction.
The Jamie and Cersei conflict, with Jamie probably killing her in season end.
Noo! I want more. Lol but I get it, there is only so much story to tell. I hope they go out on a high note.
Yes, tell the main story and not go in circles or off the rails, like a lot of other shows. Plus the production costs are so great, they can't afford to drag it on too long, where the causal viewer loses interest.
There is some talk, about having a series telling the story of characters from the past. I believe it would be tales of two brothers, of one of the Targaryen Kings.
