"After the Thrones," I guess.

Entourage movie. Sex and the City movie. Probably some others.

Maybe "The Pacific" as a spinoff from Band of Brothers. (not really)

"Arya and The Hound"

Following the most epic battle between humans and white walkers in history, Arya and the Hound hit the road and team up to journey together again, having all sorts of crazy adventures, wronging rights and getting into (and out of!) all sorts of trouble. One a badass assassin, the other a brutal but lovable badass with a craving for chickens that deep down has a crusty heart of gold.

She's the one who empowered the faith militant. Oops.

literally every single thing she's done has just made things worse.

she blew up the faith militant to fix one mistake, but now the Tyrells are about to starve out King's Landing.

had she not killed Robert way back in the beginning, all of her children would likely be alive today.

Bran needs to stay where the f he is.



Stupid ass is going to break the magic of the wall.



Will that do it, or will they blow the horn? Will Samwell get all the ancient research together from the citadel to combat the walkers?

I just realized that Dany now has this vast army that she really doesn't need anymore. I'm pretty sure Westeros is tired of all this fucking shit and they'll welcome her with open arms.

I don't understand how they are going to give the Lannisters any sort of fighting chance next season, unless something elsewhere derails Dany and her crew on the way (I guess Theon's uncle with his thousands of ships could interrupt things en route?).

Otherwise it is Dany and her dragons, the Sand Snakes/Dornish, the Tyrells, the Ironmen, and the Dothraki horde, all against a depleted Lannister force with barely any allies since so much of their army before was made up of Tyrells. Seems like a straight up slaughter to me. Maybe Qyburn can revive thousands of dead people to fight for the queen?

I sure hope this means we are done with Esteros; so freaking bored of that place.

Horn?

Book spoilers!!!!

Reported.

We were shown what it means by blowing the horns at the wall in the show too (one, two, three?).

Unless it's about something else, in which case I probably don't want it to be spoiled for me

all I can think of is either a temporary alliance between Cersei and the Tyrells/Dorne against Dany, seeing her as a bigger threat than their hatred of each other, or something deus ex machina-y like Dany's fleet getting obliterated

Your mistake is looking at this logically. Of course the Lannisters *should* be toast, the money is gone and the only guys with brains (Tywin and Tyrion) are dead and working for the opposition. But this is the new Game of Thrones where nobody will act consistently or believably and can only be trusted to do monumentally stupid things when the story requires it. So:

Tyrion remembers he's a Lannister and betrays Dany by leading part of the fleet off the edge of the world which miraculously is flat because now it needs to be.
The Tyrells hate the Sand Snakes as much as we do and abandon Dany to go to war with Dorne.
The Dothraki get scared on the boat ride, find god and become pacifists.
The Unsullied turn out to not be eunuchs after all and they find Cersei hot, so they rally to her side.

Bingo, whole new ball game. And it makes more sense than anything that happened in season 6.

See, I don't view it that way. Some of us want you and a couple of other knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers to start your own thread so you can live in a little idyllic wonderland with the few people who are too freaking stupid to notice that none of this shit makes sense anymore. All they're doing is concocting cliffhangers to appeal to people who can't follow along with intricate plotting. Noticing that does not make us smart, failing to notice makes YOU stupid.

Wow, you really need a hug. No one, literally no one, is anything but unimpressed.

One thing that makes a little more sense after the last episode is the Arya in Braavos plotline. It is obvious now she went there to learn how to swap faces, now both she and her bro (Bran) have their own form of magic.

What isn't explained is why when she used that power for revenge previously it blinded her, while now there is no penalty for use.

That and Jaqen letting her walk don't really have a logical answer, unless what the Many Faced God always wanted was an Arya murdering highborns in Westeros and the whole blindness thing was a test to see if she had the guts to go through with such a mission even if it cost her dearly.
Arya was blind because she was poisoned by a face because, apparently, when someone isn't well trained the 'face is as good as poison'; her sight was restored. She was trained and passed training. She now has proficiency-face and doesn't suffer <blindness> when using a face.

To be fair they will largely be useless in westeros as they can't do anything against the castles with no siege skills and their weapons are not designed for armored fighters.

More like cannon fodder then anything right now.

The horde can sweep the fields while her allies / dragons storm the depleted Castles.
Not every unit needs be suited for every task.

That's what they have Dorne for, I'm sure they know about conducting sieges.

the power to control dragons kills your mother during childbirth? hence Danny, Jon, and Tyrion?

King Aerys was Tyrion's real father. Kinda awesome he used wildfire to repel Stannis' attack. and why the dragon didn't turn Tyrion into a crispy critter in the dungeon.

I'm picturing the 3 of them each riding atop a dragon fighting the white walkers...ehhh seems to corny. I would think Tyrion wouldn't be able to hold on. maybe with a saddle?

He did come up with a saddle design that he shared with Bran early on.

Interesting how Arya has the many faced god going for her while Bran has that tree god thing going and Snow has the lord of light pulling for him.
