The Game of Thrones Spoilers Thread (Book and TV show spoilers/comparisons)

[ripper868]

Yeah we made a decision on this once before.

It sounds silly but the discussion about Jeyne and Sansa should be made in a third thread free-for-all if anything. Feel free to create that thread if you like.

Never miss the opportunity to make a new thread.

Post all the spoilers and book vs tv comparisons you like. Future characters, past characters, characters not in the books but included in tv and vice versa, missing arcs, new arcs, Noah's ark.

Compare and comment all ye like, this will by my last post here.

If anyone has a catchier thread title, throw it at us.

Okay, I haven't read the books, but apparently Robb made a royal decree de-bastardising Jon Snow and naming him his heir before he died. I don't remember if that happened in the show. Does this mean that Jon is now legally the Lord of Winterfell in the book world? #suckitsansa

Can this be the crazy theories from reddit thread as well

Reddit functions as a synopsis of the books for people who haven't read the books, so yes, IMO.

I think 'legally' is kind of besides the point, Stannis would have made Jon the lord of Winterfell while Robb would have made him King, and both would have been called bullshit by the people they're fighting.

You can do what you like so long as you have the armed support to back it up,

Question 2: Is TV Sansa now a Stark or a Lannister or a Bolton?

I'll get it started with, imo, the GOAT reddit tinfoil theory.

Bolt On theory a close second

Question 2: Is TV Sansa now a Stark or a Lannister or a Bolton?

Bolton by my count. Her marriage to Tyrion was annulled due to it never having been consummated (this is mentioned by Baelish to Roose in season 5) but I can't think of a 'legal' reason why she wouldn't be a Bolton. You can't marry into a royal name, which is why Cersei remains a Lannister, but you do marry into any other noble name, which is why Catelyn is called Stark and not Tully.

Again, though, if she's calling herself Stark then you can either do so or take an army to debate with you.

Question 3: What's the line of succession like at Winterfell? Assuming Bran and Sansa survive the end-game, who's the Lord/Lady of Winterfell?

Bran -> Sansa -> Arya. I don't think he'll ever be in a position to claim lordship of anything though.

Question 4: Can Bran father babies to carry on the Stark name if it came to that? (preferably with Meera, I like her).

No answer either way in the show yet. In the books, Ned thinks that Bran will never have children.

There are times I wonder if I'm missing out by not using Reddit, given it can possibly answer any question I could ever think of

Then this happens...

I'm pretty sure that thread is a parody of all the other theory threads that get posted there, which use exactly the same format

So Theon and Asha in Mereen is a huge bloody swerve. In the books they're currently held prisoner by Stannis right? While Euron is only a short way away from Mereen with a fleet.

Also mereen from iron islands is like a year of sailing. Wtf?

Yes on the siblings. He sends Victarion to Meeren. Euron is chilling in the Shield islands raiding the Reach.

Haha yeah how long has Sam been travelling in the books and show? Theon and Asha effectively made the same distance trip in a couple episodes.
