Game of Thrones begins....

[Josquius]

Peaceful resolution - I disagree.
I think the others situation will stop short of war. It'll be a nasty bloody magical peace treaty but I dont think it'll be a simple showdown.

I'm still holding out for moon-meteor cataclysm (a theory from the books that has only mild support in the show).

Explain?

The problem is Martin and the show had a falling out some time ago.  They were completely on their own last season.  Martin gave them a general idea of where his books were going and how he was thinking of resolving the series - but the show has diverged from the books quite a bit and so I would not be surprised that the Martin ending (assuming we ever see it) is different.

I seem to recall that Martin said, some years ago when it was clear that the show was going to end long before the books, that he was basically going with his second choice of endings because the show was going to use his first choice.

Too bad the show couldn't get him to help with the dialogue writing for the last three seasons.  That's where the show has really fallen off since they went beyond the Wall books.

So.. What happened to the Black Watch Stark dude from episode 1?

I'm betting we see his reanimated corpse this Sunday.

Thanks, I had not heard that.  I agree with your second point.

[Threviel]

Haven't watched the last few seasons, I just always wondered what happened to him.

You mean re-reanimated?

[Josephus]

Have I left out anyone?

The Mormonts, Grey Worm, Missandei, Jaime?

Die, dies, dies, lives.

Nah, I think Jaime needs to redeem himself, and the only way he can do that is to die for the greater good.

Giving his life to save the person he just knighted for example

[celedhring]

Who then will give her life to save somebody else 

I'm running a GoT dead pool over at Spanish EUOT. Average kill count is around 15 major characters 

[Habbaku]

Jaime has to survive to kill Cersei himself, so I don't see him biting it at Winterfell.

[celedhring]

Has been established whether Cersei is really preggers or faking it? I have trouble picturing any of the Lannister bros killing her if she's with child.

Face shifted Arya?

There has to be some reason so much time was taken in her story arc to learn that skill.
