Basically everything that happens in this season was leaked months ago. I assume he was just paraphrasing those leaks like I've seen people do on other forums.
I thought it was just Jon Snuh life and Dothraki roast that was leaked
Otherwise you can just look at the ep preview, D&Ds list of inspirational material and judge off their characters previous placements to guess all the scenes in between, and you can always be sure certain characters are bulked in immense layers of plot armour (usually the ones always on the cusp of death and misfortune but avoiding it every time)
I assume it was something to do with the essentially invincible creatures that can easily annihilate entire fleets/armies, like we saw in this episode.
Yeah, what was it in S3 where Shireen textpositions on how the war of the dragons rekt the Targaryan power, and how putting the dragons in their little coops killed the Targy power (a little more than the Doom of Valyria did). Targaryans had 10 apocalypses a day basically, but had steel that never needed sharpening and dragons of mass destruction, pretty much the only people who ever caused them defeat were taliban dornishmen and the faceless hashashinators, who specialized in killing the people on the dragons rather than face them. Danaerys is a rather odd one out in that she doesn't need the dragons but they certainly speed things up, I find it funny when it's a joke when Illyrio tells Viserys that the people of Westeros are weaving Targy banners for the return of the Targs, yet for Danaerys that's not a joke wherever mhysa goes
That's clearly exactly what they were going for given the Jon/Sansa conversation.
Tfw no battle of the ice where Ramsay gets lured into the ice by Mannis
Also I wonder what's on Stavos's mind. For starters he's found the burninating, and to boot he isn't acting like himself - the normally cautious commander charging his troops in before the Boltons have deployed their full force. I wouldn't chalk it up to shit writing because it seems they've put some more thought into him, only his degenerating language is shite but the character is developing
And to be fair, the Vale horsemen did set out a while ago. They just had to teleport past most chailin, walk across hundre
Didn't Littlefinger establish that he had taken Moat Cailin and that his forces were waiting there when we saw him last?
Littlefinger says he's encamped at Moat Cailin, but we're never shown him taking it. Taking it is militarily impossible from the south, and to attempt a military assault would result in the destruction of most of the Bolton forces - which is why Ramsay has to bring Theon out to convince the Ironborn to surrender. Ramsay's achievement at the Neck is so great that this is what convinces Roose Bolton to make Ramsay a legitimate son, considering that the Ironborn had with a few dozen men and the three towers kept the entire Northern host under Robb Stark and the entire Northern host under Roose Bolton trapped in the south all the whilst under guerilla attacks by the Crannogmen (the same people the Reed siblings were from).
Littlefinger does openly pass through Moat Cailin once, when the Boltons allowed him through in order to create a Bolton-Baelish alliance.
When Roose Bolton garrisons his men at Moat Cailin, what happens afterwards that allows Petyr Baelish to succeed where no invader has ever succeeded before? Dunno, it's not shown. Maybe Littlefinger had people on the inside who let his army through and killed the rest. Maybe the garrison at Moat Caillin didn't get the memo that they were supposed to alert Winterfell when there were thousands of men camping on their doorstep. Maybe there was no garrison because the men stationed there deserted upon the death of spooky loose Roose Bolton. Or it was just an oversight and D&D wanted Valemen above the causeway ASAP. ~o.o~
