It was pretty obvious as soon as you saw The Mountain was the crowns champion that Oberyn would step in for his big chance at revenge.  I'm not a book reader so I don't know if he gets utterly destroyed or craftily wins.  2 week wait will be very annoying..

 

Also, surely Littlefinger is going to bite off more than he can chew soon.

3) T&A needs to be turned back up to the levels of previous seasons.

sadly the daenerys & irri lesbian action from the books probably won't be in the show  :rofl:  :cry: unless they do it with missandei 

 

tyrion/dinklage is SUCH A GOOD ACTOR these last couple episodes.

The way they're dragging the story, don't think she'll be making an appearance this season.

 

It will be the final shot of the season. Episode is titled 'Children of the Forest'. It will cover the Stark children (and Jon Snow) on their various journeys (in addition to the reveal of the actual children when they meet Bran). The last scene will be the reveal of Stoneheart, hanging a Frey, just like her first appearance in the novel.

Are we supposed to know who Stoneheart is at this point?

They haven't even mentioned her existence on the show, so no. They will of course show her face so people know who it is, though.

Cool, thanks! I'm just glad I didn't completely miss something. I'd like to think I'm actually capable of following this show now.  :rofl:

Also, surely Littlefinger is going to bite off more than he can chew soon.

Maybe, sort of, not really, he knows how to play his adversaries like a fiddle and his only weakness is Sansa. Here's two prophecies from the books about Sansa (possible minor spoiler although it's just speculation at this point):

 

I dreamt of a maid at a feast with purple serpents in her hair, venom dripping from their fangs.

And later I dreamt that same maid again, slaying a savage giant in a castle built of snow.

 

Is the "savage giant" Littlefinger or somebody else?

I wonder who Littlefinger will pin his murder on in the show.  In the book it's the singer that accompanied Cat and Tyrion when Tyrion is brought before Lysa, but he had much more time in the books once Littlefinger comes to the Eyrie and we haven't seen him so far.  He even tries to rape Sansa in the book during a celebration of the wedding that apparently didn't make it into in the show.

 

And as far as the fight, it's sort of a 50/50 on both sides of utterly destroyed and craftily wins, although the win will be a much delayed win.  I'll not spoil any more of that though, but needless to say it will be awesome  :woot:

I thought the Mountain wins in the books?

I have no idea. I didn't read the books. I'm just making an assumption on the fact that Oberyn is known for using poisons when he fights, hence his name "the Viper". So I my guess was that even if the Mountain "wins", he may get knicked by Oberyn's spear and die from poisoning. But I guess from your post, that doesn't happen. booo urns.

Actually, you nailed it. Something else happens after that, but no point spoiling it.

What you just said happens. :)  At least in the book.   He dies a long, gruesome death.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
