Gakken85 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Posted June 29, 2015 Yeah speaking of - also interesting to note Ravens all over the show this season. When Dany escaped on her dragon and was nesting, at Winterfell with Sansa, and a few other important scenes. I think Bran was watching all season. Quote

When Dany escaped on her dragon and was nesting, at Winterfell with Sansa, and a few other important scenes. I think Bran was watching all season. I missed the raven with Dany. Nice pickup. I was a little surprised we didn't see the white Ravens from the Citadel this season announcing Winter. Edited June 29, 2015 by Duke Togo Quote
Gakken85 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Posted June 29, 2015 That would have been cool. Yeah I bet they will cut back to Bran working the tree with the Ravens knowing everything. Quote
Duke Togo Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 That would have been cool. Yeah I bet they will cut back to Bran working the tree with the Ravens knowing everything. Season 6 Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Sweet new ALT shift X video. Brings up the possibility that Jon will kill Mel to make the burning sword - and some strong book evidence oh how and why he will be born again. Also interesting that most people misread Mel's face after Stannis' army deserted. She wasn't shocked that her magic didn't work, but that she was backing the wrong guy.

Duke Togo Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 CNN headline today: "Is Kit Harington's hair a clue to 'Game of Thrones'?" I think it's pretty safe to say talk of his return is way, way past "book reader" theorizing. Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 Yeah, I think everybody is doing it. They should start shooting for next year soon anyway so we'll know soon enough. Quote
Duke Togo Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Thought: We'll get Bran's Ser Arthur Dayne vision and the Tower of Joy before we see Jon resurrected. For storytelling purposes, I would think they have to set up his true importance before his return. Quote
Duke Togo Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Speaking of the Tower of Joy, here's the shooting location: http://www.buzzfeed.com/robinedds/tower-of-joy#.ky2dMbLEV Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Saw that. Pretty much confirmed. Cool season 5 making the scenes Edited July 15, 2015 by Gakken85 Quote
Duke Togo Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) The Castillo de Zafra in Guadalajara, Spain, an announced filming location for season 6, and purported to be the infamous Tower of Joy. Edited July 15, 2015 by Duke Togo Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 Looks awesome. Can't wait to see Ned again. Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 What is the tower of joy about? Its where Prince Rheagar "kidnapped" Lyanna Stark to. It's where during Robert's Rebellion Ned and Howland Reed fought through several kingsguard in an attempt rescue her and found her in a pool of blood where she whispered "Promise me Ned". The implication is the blood is from child birth, and the baby was Jon Snow hence the L+R=J theory. Howland Reed is the only person left who knows what happened at the Tower of Joy. Quote
Dobber Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Awesome catch Duke! I always thought that a prequel season or mini-series would do well to show the events that lead up to Roberts Rebellion. Chris Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) It's basically what confirms R+L=J for the reader, though technically it doesn't spell it out. I feel like the show will lay out all the information. This is an amazing depection of it which cuts in scenes from the show. Not a spoiler tag, but keep in mind it will probably play out very similarly next season, so buyer beware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9Mp8MzAjAY Edited July 15, 2015 by Gakken85 Quote

Duke Togo Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) This was taken two days ago in Belfast. I mean, dude, they're not evening trying at this point... Edited July 24, 2015 by Duke Togo Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Just hanging out with the watch you know. haha Quote
Duke Togo Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Just hanging out with the watch you know. haha I mean, they might as well have been walking down the street with Carice van Houten as well. It's funny, Kit Harington is the only person involved here who has really stuck his foot in his mouth. Everyone is saying he's dead--which he is, you can't resurrect a living person--but Kit is the only one who said he wouldn't be back in season six. At the very least he'd have to come back to play his dead body ( a la Charles Dance). At this point I'm convinced season six has to open with Bran having a vision of the Tower of Joy event (which we KNOW is coming this season). They need to make it very clear why Jon is important before they bring him back. Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 So can I go over to the TV show and whine like a bitch that the show is spoiling the books for me? Quote
Duke Togo Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 So can I go over to the TV show and whine like a bitch that the show is spoiling the books for me? Probably not, lol. It appears our show thread here is the only place on the internet that isn't talking about Jon's inevitable return. Quote
Dobber Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) People are just dumb.... Lol I will give the show credit.....they have been MUCH more subtle about Jon than the books were. Though all the clues are still there, they're just not "beat you over the head with it" like books one and two where. I wonder if we would have still noticed it if we hadn't read the books? Chris Edited July 24, 2015 by Dobber Quote
Dynaman Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Those pics are obviously plants to give the Kit fans hope for next season - he is really just being paid to hang out on set... Quote
Duke Togo Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) The epic Ian McShane has been cast in season 6. No word on his role. Most people are guessing Greyjoy or Tarly. Edited August 2, 2015 by Duke Togo Quote
Gakken85 Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 Yeah I don't know this guy but people seem to like him a lot. Quote
Duke Togo Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) HOLY SHITE! /Film: Star Wars: The Force Awakens Actor to Play Game of Thrones Three-Eyed Raven Star Wars: The Force Awakens co-star Max von Sydow, a legendary actor with an incredible body of work to his name, is joining the cast of HBOs Game of Thrones season 6, taking over the role of the Three-Eyed Raven. Max von Sydow as Bryden Rivers, aka Bloodraven? HELL YES! Edited August 4, 2015 by Duke Togo Quote
Gakken85 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 Nice score. Gonna be stoked to see this story line pick up. I saw an interesting theory on reddit: Lots of spoilers in this post. So I, like many other GoTs fans, have been speculating about the fate of Jon Snow. I was convinced at first that he was well finale spoilers. However as I've rewatched some episodes I support the theory that Jon Snow finale spoilers. Rewatch the final shot of the season 5 finale. But pay close attention to the audio that plays as they zoom in. When I first saw the scene I thought it was strange. I've had a little bit of work in audio design and it is certainly a unique audio design for a scene like this on Game of Thrones. Compare it to the audio in similar scenes such as The closeup at the purple wedding, the end of ser barristan's fight with the harpy and the finale at the red wedding. All clips are episode ending clips. The audio in these scenes is typical of GoT sound design at the end of the episode. There is either a climatic build, or a slow fade. But in the season 5 finale, the music builds, then fades, then comes back with a new sound we have not heard in the Jon Snow segments of the show. A high pitched organ-like sound. Where have we heard this sound before? Listen as bran approaches the Weirwood tree in season 4 and when Bran wargs into Hodor.. It could be a stretch but to me it sounds like the same audio cue or at least similar to the one that you hear in the season 5 finale. This lends itself to the theory that Finale Spoilers.. Another hint may be that in the scene where Bran wargs into Hodor, a wilding wargs into a bird as he dies and attacks Jon Snow. Let me know what you guys think, and this has probably been suggested already. edit: didn't expect this to be this popular and to have so many comments! Thank you to everyone who commented and added something to this post, I'll try to read as many comments as possible and respond to them. Quote
Dobber Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) I've read a lot of speculation about Jon warging into Ghost....but what If Jon Wargs into the Giant? In the book, the Giant was there...having a fit IIRC. Not sure where the giant is in the show, though. Warging into the Giant would certainly help him eliminate the traitors and protect his real body. Chris Edited August 4, 2015 by Dobber Quote
Gakken85 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) The Giant Wun Wun? The one from the hardhome scene? I don't think you can Warg into intelligent creatures. Bran could Warg into Hodor because he's simple, but I think WunWun is pretty intelligent all things considered, so I doubt it. Edited August 4, 2015 by Gakken85 Quote
