Sure, not at all...
Guess I just expected more than just needing to be combed.

It's probably a mix-up and actually referring to Cersei. His sourced mixed up the dothraki and unsullied as well. He himself seems to be leaning that way now.
The bells signal surrender. My personal theory is that Dany cannot accept that the Lannister forces want to get off so easy after killing her advisor, dragon and many of her forces.
Ok so it's Cersei being triggered by the bells and the Dothraki doing the pillaging?
I think details like this are where leaks fail because they lose nuance of the scenes.
It's likely bells will be going off throughout the entire raid on KL, because that's when bells are rang (city under attack). Ramin will no doubt incorporate these heavily into his score, like a beating metronome of dread for the battle. I don't think they will be what specifically makes Dany snap but rather the bells time up with her "losing it" as one of the last shots.
The pics do show Jon on dragon stone. That's seems to be the only thing not already shown in the preview clip.
I love this leak the most because it's absolutely the most batshit fuck you ending that this show now deserves.
I doubt Danny's gonna shout "rape and pillage them" from her dragon even if she does go "mad" lol that'd be on their own accord.
Thank you, that's excactly how I feel about this. The bells will serve as some "artistic" device to underline Dany's descent into madness.
I wonder if Cersei is actually this prominent as an endgame character in GRRM's story......
You must hate him.
You must hate him.
I also question the bells being used as Surrender in the leak because that doesnt really exist in the canon
Quote from Varys: "I've always hated bells. They ring for horror, a dead king, a city under siege".
It's really not that bad. I can see a lot of this coming from GRRM.
Nah I think by time Dany arrives Aegon be chilling in Kings Landing with Golden Company. Cersei might be able con her way into staying alive at Red Keep but who knows.
I think she's a stand in for other characters the way Jon was a stand in for Stannis in s6.
I always felt that fAegon would've died very anti-climatically in GRRM-fashion. Like in the assault on KL, he insists on leading the charge and gets killed by a random arrow to the face or something.
ep 5 is still Sapochnik (and it's plain day) so at least it should be cool
brace for ep6 written and directed by Dumbbell & Dumbbell

It's absolutely where I could see the books ending up, but you know, in a way that's cohesive and logical.
Both of the episodes they directed were some of the best in their respective seasons
I think the fan base downplays Aegon too much and believing he not real Aegon. It be way more interesting if he is real Aegon then Dany has someone to get jealous over and struggle with her entitlement
Cersei loses to FAegon
she tries to burn the city
then she is killed by a miserable Jaime who recently had to deal with lady stone heart, see brienne die, and probs be forced to help with the second red wedding
after this Jaime decides to go to the wall and he will become the 1000th lord commander of the night's watch

I'm down with the theory that the endgames are reversed in the show, i.e. in the books Dany will accidentally end up blowing up King's Landing due to wildfire + dragonfire and will atone by helping fight the Others and maybe die heroically in the process.
They'll probably mention early in the episode that bells means surrender and consider that an adequate setup.
He is not endgame but he's a crucual aspect of getting dany there which the show really did need
No.
Unless you're willing to believe that the Waif:
- killed the Freys (in order to stay in character for Arya)
- hung out at the Inn at the Crossroads with Hot Pie (in order to stay in character for Arya)
- was headed to KL, but decided to turn around and head to WF upon hearing Jon/Sansa had retaken it (in order to stay in character for Arya)
- was spared by Nymeria and pack, who were ready to eat her, because Nymeria was fooled by someone else wearing a mask.
- Boned Gendry (in order to stay in character for Arya)
- Also fooled Mellisendre, a powerful red priestess
- Killed the NK and became the hero of Winterfell
- Decided to travel to KL with the Mountain (in order to stay in character for Arya)
I mean, how much disbelief can one person actually suspend, and for how long? Arya being dead since S6 and being impersonated by the Waif the whole intervening time would be a bigger slap in the face than any of the leaks angering people in this thread. Dany could become the mad hatter and force the residents of KL to eat her baked poop while smoking crack and jazzercising and it still wouldn't be as ridiculous as this.
Hell, sopranos too. I thought it was wack at the time, but I've grown to appreciate how it still generates discussion.
I mean we knew since S5/6 we were just going to race to the ending. Hell, last season just said fuck all the pretense regarding that lol.
I guess we could have gotten another character episode between 4 & 5 to delve on the emotional impact of losing Rhaegal and Missandei and to prepare for the war, but like let's be real, people would hate the ending we are probably getting no matter how much they try to build it up. And so many in here thought Ep2 was the best ep of the season (myself included) while you got plenty of show-only people calling it a waste of time and boring. In many ways, there was no win for D&D no matter how this was ending.
I just don't understand people who are upset at the possibility of Dany becoming mad.
hasn't this been like the top theory of what happens since GRRM said the ending would be bittersweet?
how boring and unlike ASOIAF would it be if she ended up the queen and hero?
how often have people said she needs good advisors to keep her from doing the worst things?
I have been a Dany stan since season 1 and I absolutely want this to happen.

When he stuck with her after she blew up the Sept and their son killed himself is the point where his character became a farce. If he wasn't going to turn against her after that and just carried on for most of season 7 as he was he hardly seems likely to turn against her at all.
I feel that something's got to happen with Jon Connington's grey scale. If Aegon doesn't catch it, it's got to start a new plague or something.
That's an incredibly strange criticism. If GRRM planned a story about "ice and fire," e.g. the Starks and Targaryens and more specifically Jon and Dany being destined in this way, it's not a "cheesy callback" to the title of the series, it's that he named the series after what it's about. That's just how fiction works.
Bronn turning to the camera at the end and saying, "Boy, this really is A Song of Ice and Fire," with a smirk at the end is a cheesy callback.
he is the 2nd act
which is funny how this series is suppose to be 7 books
wins of winter is the rise of FAegon and dany wrapping up essos
they won't even meet until the 7th book
And the second dance of dragons will start in the 7th book and require 2 books
then the others would need atleast one book
but the 1st act being 3 books
then the 2nd act 5 books
it be really anticlimactic for the 3rd act to be only 1 book
so 10 books is what it take to wrap of ice and fire
sadly we won't get to the final book. no matter what
