It really bothers me that Bran was in winter fell during all this doing nothing. He didn't help w/ little finger and then didn't help w/ Jon beyond the wall. So... what was he doing all that time?

And then this last episode the same thing happened. Like he's so useless.

Actually, he did help with Littlefinger. He's the one that ratted out Littlefinger to Sansa and Arya then handed the dagger that would kill LF and the NK to Arya.

Freaking hell, accidentally entered the spoiler thread and as able to get out without reading anything. Then tried to ignore the thread.... ended up ignoring the wrong one because i was being so damn cautious... had to RE-ENTER the thread and ignore it, then un ignore this one.

honestly the lannisters beat8ng the Tyrells is the worst thing in the entire series

it makes literal 0 sense
Not as bad as Gendry running from arrowhead mountain to the wall, sending a raven from the wall to Dragonstone and Dany flying from Dragonstone to arrowhead mountain in the span of a single episode.

...seeking revenge for a family member ,who chose to engage in a fair 1vs1 till death fight, by killing your own family members....
People, the honeymoon phase should've have been over many years ago.

Both GoT threads have the same avatar next to them and both have spoilers in the title. It's easy to mix them up at a glance

Are the Starks rich-poor? Their castle look like crap even before invading armies bomb it out.
yes I've considered this as well. I believe they are. Even among northerners their castle sucks. and it always kind of looked dirty.

also how considerate of the Boltons to not burn down the godswood when they controlled winter fell.

edit; nvm they worshipped the old gods

Apparently it's not just spoilers for the upcoming episode, but the ones after that as well. Ffs, avoiding this is going to be impossible because there'll always be one dickhead wanting to have fun.

Because some people live in Europe and want a regualar night sleep.

Having the episodes leak a few hours earlier is godsend for me.
Even if it's not the full episode/only a written summary?

I can understand wanting a full episode leak, but getting half measures seems worse than just going to bed and watching the episode a day late.

No, you're getting me wrong here. The Dothraki did not have dg weapons. The scope and scale of this episode was just completely off.
We have at least 100000 dothraki and another 50000 combined human forces I assume. In no way was Gendry able to provide even 1000 dg weapons in that short amount of time. This is nitpicky, but as I've said the number logic of this show has completely gone bonkers in this episode:
- 100000 Dothraki killed in 5 secs means they were facing at least 100000 (more likely much more) undead which means 200000 potentially resurrectable undead storming an open castle. It makes no sense.
Oh I see. I would not count it as nitpicky, it is a legitimate complaint but its an inconsistency so consistently starting last season, that something like this I guess is on the lower list of problems on the show. But it still makes the list.

Also yes I was confused about whether Dany came to Westeros with 100,000 Dothraki alone, or if it was 100,000 Dothraki, Unsullied, Tyrell and Dornish soldiers. If it was the former, then I certainly don't think Dany lost that many Dothraki soldiers in episode of last season.

edit: by the way, all this talk about leaks in this thread makes me not wanna read the thread. I don't want to see anything about leaks in here, no hints, even if people are talking about in spoiler tags coz I don't want to be temped to read REAL spoilers in a spoiler free discussion

I've been dodging shit left and right, it's 10pm here so me sleeping will keep me safe until the episode airs.
I've learned how to not got spoiled the hard way.

Even when we've passed the source material, spoilers are still abundant.

Well, the fact that everyone seems so pissed off when they get spoiled makes me think the next episode will have some interesting moments, at least

No, they're not supposed to be.

Winterfell is meant to be huge and amazing. The show just doesn't have the money to make it as big as it's meant to be.




-----------------------

Winterfell is a large stronghold extending across many acres of territory, defended by two layers of strong stone granite walls. The outer walls are 80 feet tall and the inner are 100 feet tall, with a wide moat located between them. The inner walls are crenellated with more than thirty watch towers built into them. The outer walls have guard turrets built into them. The main gatehouse, consisting of two large crenellated bulwarks, and drawbridge opens onto the market square of the winter town outside, but the Hunter's Gate on the opposite side of the castle opens directly onto open fields and is favoured by hunting parties. The East Gate in the inner walls opens onto the King's Gate of the outer walls. All of the windows in Winterfell are diamond-shaped panes of glass.

The builders of Winterfell never levelled the ground, meaning that the castle complex actually spans several hills and valleys, with some of the older buildings having slanting and sloped floors. For example, there is a covered bridge which connects the fourth floor of the bell tower to the second floor of the rookery, with the two buildings raising out of different sections of hillside.

The rookery is where the messenger rooks of the castle are kept, permitting reasonably efficient communications with other castles. The maester of Winterfell keeps his home in a tower located next to and in the shadow of the rookery, which may be the same building as the bell tower.

Winterfell is built around an ancient three-acre godswood that has allegedly been left untouched for ten thousand years. There are sentinel trees, oaks, ironwoods, hawthorns, ash and soldier pines located within the godswood. The heart treeof Winterfell has a melancholy aspect and sits beside a dark pool. The godswood is accessed by a main, iron gate, or smaller wooden ones. The castle is built above hot springs which keep the castle reasonably well-heated even in winter, and allows food to be grown in the greenhouses during the long winters. Pipes move the hot water around the castle, and the chambers of the Lady of Winterfell (formerly the Queen) are the most well-heated, possibly due to the fact that many of the Queens and Ladies of House Stark have come from the warmer southron lands in dynastic marriages. Similarly, the Guest House (located on the edge of the godswood opposite the heart tree), usually reserved for visiting dignitaries from the south, is fed by hot springs to keep it warm.

Winterfell has a cavernous crypt located beneath the castle where the bones of all of the Kings in the North and ruling lords of House Stark are buried, with statues of each ruler raised their honour. Lord Eddard Stark broke with tradition by also having his brother Brandon and sister Lyanna interred in the crypt with their likenesses in stone also placed there, although neither were rulers of the House. The crypt is accessed by a twisting stone stair and a huge ironwood door that lies at a slant to the floor. The stair continues down to older levels where the most ancient kings of Stark's line are interred. The First Keep looms over the entrance to the crypts.

The Great Hall of Winterfell is the principal meeting and dining place of the castle. It is very large, holding eight long rows of trestle tables on either side of the central aisle, and opens directly onto the castle yard. A raised platform at one end of the hall is for the Starks and honoured guests, whilst commoners, bastards and dogs are generally made to eat at the far end. 500 people can fit inside the hall. The doors are wide and made of oak and iron, whilst a rear exit leads to a dimly-lit gallery.

The Great Keep of Winterfell is the innermost fortress and stronghold of the castle complex. The throne of Winterfell is located here, a polished stone seat with direwolves carved into the handrests. It also opens onto the yard and a small covered bridge connects it to the square armory building, where weapons and armour are stored and maintained and owls sleep in its loft. The armory is adjacent to the godswood, and a tall sentinel tree sits next to it, its branches overhanging the armory roof. The guard hall also borders the armory, and it is possible to jump from the armory roof to that of the guard hall and then run across to the blind side of the First Keep. From the lord's chambers it is possible to see the bell tower and glass gardens.

The yard of Winterfell is the largest of the dozens of courtyards and small open spaces in the complex. Weapons training and practice take place in the yard, and there is a well located there as well.

The inner ward is a second, much older open space in the castle where archery practice takes place. It is located next to the broken tower.

The First Keep was the original stronghold of Winterfell, a squat and round fortress, and the complex grew outwards from there. Rainworn gargoyles sit on the roof and a lichyard lies in its shadow, where the Kings in the North buried their most trusted and loyal servants.

Winterfell has a well-appointed library containing many volumes not known elsewhere, such as what is believed to the be the only surviving copy of Ayrmidon's Engines of War. The library has its own tower with steps corkscrewing down its exterior. Winterfell's maester typically spends much of his time in the library, rookery or attending the lord.

Winterfell's tallest tower was struck by lightning and set alight some 140 years ago. The upper two-thirds subsequently collapsed and the remaining structure is unsound, with stones occasionally breaking away. No attempt has been made to repair the tower, and it is now informally called the 'broken tower' and is only inhabited by crows, who nest at its top. It is located close to the First Keep's northern edge and stands alongside the inner ward.

Winterfell's thatch-roofed stable sits alongside the castle complex's western wall.

There are many tunnels located under the castle, some believed to exit outside the walls. There is also at least one tunnel known to exist inside the wall and stretching halfway around the castle, allowing a small person to travel from the south gate all the way to the northern gate without interruption.

The castle also possesses a brewhouse and a round kitchen building.
