I don't know about "star," but she appeared in porn. In Germany, I think.

Why can't a porn performer have political opinions?

I think it is fun Ed Sheeran was in it. He isn't so well known to me that he distracted me from the story, and he sang nicely. Maybe if I were 25, he'd be a distraction.

^ Similar here, didn't think anything of it until my wife mentioned "that's Ed Sheeran"

Had to Google Ed Sheeran, when I saw his pic I said "Hey that was one of the soldiers that Arya ran into on the last episode of GoT"

Honestly though, never heard of ol Ed before this thread...

Yes, I noticed that. It would still be quite a stretch for her to take on all of them with Needle.

It's Wednesday. The grace period to catch-up is over. Spill the beans on your theory.

OK, you twisted my arm It will be a spoiler if it happens, so read on at your own risk. I'm probably not the only one to have envisioned this.

I'm not saying it's probable, but I could certainly see her being overpowered by the soldiers and suddenly her long lost dire wolf, Nymeria, and maybe the pack she's supposedly leading, coming to her rescue and ripping the soldiers to shreds. The setup for that seems to be forming, and the writers love to have the Stark wolves be AWOL until the moment their master is on death's doorstep, only to leap in, get a kill, and then vanish again. That being said, it could be awesome if Arya and a pack of dire wolves spent some time doing guerilla warfare on the bands of Lannister soldiers and other miscreants about the lands before she made her way to King's Landing.

From a leaked script page, Episode 4 involves "Wolf Crew".

"It is known" Look at wiki. First couple paragraphs. Common knowledge.

Ah. Missed that last sentence.

I said nothing of opinion. She is active in politics in defense of women. Seems to clash a bit if she were a "porn star". Sounds like she put that behind her.

That makes no sense at all...unless your impression of porn star is stuck somewhere back in the 70s

Also some really good video breakdownsof whats on the pages sam is reading. Apparently dragonglass is a cure all. Goes into valarian steel, fixes grayscale. Shaped into things like castles / throwns. I.e. dragon. Stone.

Well we do know that it is valyrian steel but I don't think we know much else about its history from before we first saw it in the show. It was Littlefinger's, he lost it in a bet to Robert (not Tyrion), it was used to try to kill Bran (mostly likely stolen by Joffrey and given to the would be assassin), taken to Kings Landing by Catelyn, and then recovered by Littlefinger before Ned's arrest. Tyrion swears he never owned it.

I think we will be seeing it again.

Here's an interesting theory...

Remember last week when The Hound had his vision of the White Walkers breaking into the Seven Kingdoms "where The Wall meets the sea"?

What if they don't have to fight their way through The Wall and defeat the garrison at Eastwatch after all?

What if they just go around it?

There's a photo making the rounds that compares the opening title sequence from the earlier seasons with the one from Season 7. Notice anything?

With winter now in full swing, it appears that the sea is freezing over. Potentially creating the opportunity to simply walk around The Wall, bypassing the defenders and any magical barriers in the process.

Your reply makes no sense to me. I don't know many female activists that support the pornography industry.

Anyways, back to the original thread topic. I always wondered why the Night King didn't just freeze the sea and walk around the wall.

That seems quite logical. Someome described east watch by the sea as a place so cold the ocean waves froze. Cant remember if its in the books or show, i believe the show.

Edit, it was a cut line from the script.

Glad to see Varys getting some screen time. So good.

SPOILER......

what did Arya mean when she said "it isn't you" when Namiyra left?

Each of the direwolves has been a reflection of their owners. Thus, Nymeria has her own path to follow and can't be bothered with partnering with Arya as the others have partnered with their masters.

It's hard to see, but Euron's ships are much larger than Yara's. I find myself wondering just where it is they found all the wood for those ships.

I nearly threw up when the scene transitioned from Jorah and Samwell to Hot Pie's tavern.

..."that changed." Arya has been consumed with her vengeance and has worn the faces of many that she has drastically changed from the person she was. The direwolf recognized this.

They made reference to this when Euron took over as king. He was apparently building larger warships while he was away from the Iron Islands.

Ugh that battle was lame. I suppose the sand snakes also didn't poison their weapons out of convenience to the story.

July 23, 2017, 10:38 PM

Missandei is certainly a lovely woman.

Euron seemed to genuinely and believably overpower a lesser force. Even if the Sand Snakes had killed a few more, there were too many to oppose. We didn't think it was all going to go smoothly for Dany, did we?

And that Jorah thing was stomach turning.

Yara and Theon left the Iron Islands with Euron's fleet. Someone says they were leaving with their best ships while they watched them sail away. Euron dismissed it by saying he'd build a new, larger fleet.
