Game of Thrones Season 6

[cyhiphopp]

Yeah all the articles I have read on the Qyburn's little birds' rumors are about the amounts of wildfire in Kings Landing. Which makes sense, but my only real question with it is, why couldn't Qyburn go down and see for himself? Who in Kings Landing is talking/knows about the mass amounts of wildfire and is talking about it openly enough for Qyburn's birds to be lead to it? I feel like there are less than a handful of people that know of its possible existence.

The more I think about it, the more I think Cersei should already know about the wildfire. Maybe she doesn't know how much there is though.

I'm curious if the rumors are about something else. Maybe Margery's scheming against the High Sparrow? Maybe something about the High Sparrow's true identity? Maybe something we've not heard anything about yet?

I had this same thought, I was under the impression that the wildfire stored under KL was common knowledge among Cersei and many other leaders, Tyrion, Tywin, etc. I could be wrong, or maybe it was a book thing, but didn't Tyrion even order more made for the battle? Maybe I'm just misremembering.

Jamie for sure knew, because that was his reason for killing that Mad King. He admitted it to Brienne, so she knows it's there as well. I don't think anyone knows WHERE exactly it is hidden.

Oh I think the odds are pretty good that it's about something else. Her relationship with Jamie alone would ensure her knowledge of the wildfire. Now i suppose knowing it's there and knowing exactly where they are are two different things.

Yeah, I don't know if that was the rumor or not. I just know that Bran had no idea about the wildfire before his vision.

We'll see what comes to pass with Cersei and Qyburn.

I definitely wasn't quoting you to pick you out. You were just the latest post to mention the Wildfire as the secret.

And it absolutely still could be, especially if the conversation revolves around amounts. I just think that it's a little ham-fisted, given the show and book's history.

Yeah, I think the wildfire is too simple. But then again, we over analyzed everything for last episode and it went exactly as it seemed haha. I'm curious to see what more we learn about that storyline.

 

[Orin02]

My problem with the wildfire being the rumor about which Qyburn and Cersei didn't know is this - Cersei knew and, I believe, discussed this store with Tyrion as her plans to throw it from the walls during Blackwater. Tyrion came up with the end solution, but Cersei absolutely knew about it: http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Wildfire And even if she hadn't, which just isn't the case, watching most of the Bay blow up under it would have tipped her off to the existence.

Hence, she would have known that the alchemists' guild was involved, and so she could have easily sought out whether or not there was more around. Qyburn wasn't in KL at that time, so it could be argued that its existence would be a rumor to him, but Cersei wouldn't need to depend on him to research this covertly four seasons later.

I'm not saying Wildfire isn't the rumor, as the show has ignored things in the past like this before, but it would be incongruent.

What if her knowledge is related to the High Sparrow and his background?

Is it "fact" that Jon Snow and Danaeris are kin?

Once we see the Tower of Joy completely played out hopefully we will know. The theory says Jon is the son of Dany's older brother and Ned Stark's younger sister.

Stumbled upon a "leak" on Twitter (regarding R+L=J):

Spoiler

I was scrolling through the Game of Thrones hashtag and someone posted a picture of Kit Harington's name in the opening credits of the episode ten leak and he had a Targ dragon instead of the Stark wolf icon next to his name. Obviously could be photoshopped.

Even with the hyper traveling we've seen lately, I think it would be tough for Randall Tarly to get a whole army from the far South to the far North that fast.

Interesting to think about it being possible for another army to aid them though.

I'm still holding out for a Grand Northern Conspiracy with the Umbers and Karstarks turning on the Boltons at the opportune moment.

I think you are thinking of Mole's town, Oldtown is further south than Horn Hill and is where the Citadel is located

that seems like a good spot to end the season on actually.

That was my recollection as well. Tyrion had the alchemist guild make "more" wildfire. So wouldn't it stand to reason that whatever wildfire was below KL was already collected up and used in the battle? Maybe not and there is some under the Sept of Baelor.

I am guessing that Clyburn has discovered a secret about the High Septon's past that Cersei will drop as a bomb at her trial.

So looking forward to this next episode. While I cannot see the Tarly's being engaged, they are clearly leading us down a path that Jon is victorious and that probably the KoV intercede at Sansa's request. But if GoT has taught us anything, the obvious path usually isn't the path selected. Whether it is the Umbers or KoV, there is definitely going to be some unexpected wildcard(s) this Sunday. Can't wait.

 

[Orin02]

What if it is both? What if the Umbers turn against Bolton AND the KoV show up? That would lead to a pretty kick-*** turn of events. As a related question, it looks like at the beginning of the battle there are three or four flayed people in between the armies. Odds that one of those people is Rickon? I'm saying 99%. But who are the others? Ramsey wouldn't just pick random people. It has to be people Jon or Sansa knows.

It also looks like Davos is pi--ed off about something - of course he always looks like that. I'm wondering if he finds out what happened to Shireen.

Probably Osha as well

 

[State43]

Rumor = sparrow is Howland Reed

Kinda...

Kinda Howland Reed?! How does that work? And I agree Osha is a likely target. Was there anyone else left in Winterfell when Sansa and Theon left?

I think this is about 100% certainty. Didn't that preview show him standing by some ashes? Shireen's pyre.

 

[Creed11]

I dont think so, the old lady made it sound like there were other people that supported the Starks but i dont think they every made a point to show someone we had seen before.

The only other two people that were really recognizable to make 4 that I can think of would be Roose and Walda

Unless something comes out about the Umbers organizing a betrayal then I could see him being one.

 

[Orin02]

Watching the preview again now. The battle clearly is taking place outside of Winterfell, which means Ramsey does the thing his father warned him against: face an army in the field when you have defenses available. Also, I think I count five burning pyres. It also sounds like Jon offers Ramsey the chance to fight one on one, which he probably laughs about.

 

[bos]

I just want the giant to live and to smash the **** out of Ramsey.

 

[Cytasticlone]

I think the rumor could still be about wildfire. Maybe a specific stash(s) that no one knows about? I figured Tyrion used all of the wildfire that he knew about when blowing up Stannis' fleet. Maybe the "little birds" found more of the Mad King's wildfire caches that were forgotten/lost after the rebellion. Inluding one under the Sept?

On that note, a possible theory might be that Cersei blows up the Sept(Possibly all of KL) and Tommen is collateral damage somehow. That could also possibly explain her drowning in tears and a possible motive for Jamie to turn on and strangle her in his rage/anguish.
