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:

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.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By WrongHead™ · Posted

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
