Emilia Clarke arrives in Cáceres; House Flags in Old Town; Disparate Characters Team Up in Belfast 

Game of Thrones VFX “Aerial” (Dragon) Unit at Los Barruecos

The show’s invasion of Cáceres started to take shape yesterday, as the production turned their chosen locations in the provincial capital’s Old Town into

sets. Today, prop flags of a certain House confirm what these streets will be used for. Concurrently, the Mother of Dragons herself is spotted in the city, just as the VFX team prepares for some dragon action in the last days of filming at Los Barruecos.

Meanwhile, in Belfast, a rather curious mix of cast members was sighted last night. Their characters have never crossed paths before —In fact, in six seasons they have never even been in the same location or storyline—, so some may consider the sighting to be too revealing. And the text that contextualizes the gathering certainly contains spoilers!

Apparently, most of the props in Cáceres are being used at the Plaza de las Veletas to turn it into a busy Westerosi marketplace of some sort. But where in Westeros? As we suspected, it’s King’s Landing. Pictures surfaced today of Lannister flags at Las Veletas:

In addition to the set creation, a new cast member has come to the city, either to film at the Old Town or in nearby Malpartida: On her

, Emilia Clarke shared a funny video of herself ice-skating, and @yeahclarke spotted that it was located in Cáceres:

Furthermore, it can’t be a coincidence that just as Emilia arrived, the team in charge of simulating the dragons on set has been sighted working at Los Barruecos:

Proudly present GOT's Aerial Unit #filming #bts #cinematography #aerialcinematography #setlife #onlocation #vfx #wolfunit #fying #gameofthrones

This probably means that Emilia came in order to film the last few days of the major Malpartida action sequence. If you are not up to date, the battle involves Daenerys ambushing Jaime and his forces (supported by the turncloak Lord Randyll and his son Dickon.) Since the Mother of Dragons has very big dragons at her disposal, and that’s sadly not the kind of thing that can

be filmed, most of Dany’s involvement was expected to be filmed in-studio in Belfast. Until now, it wasn’t clear whether a portion of the sequence at least would involve Daenerys on land, and it seems that’s the case!

There is also a new detail in the Plaza de Las Veletas set. In the following photograph, if you follow the finger of this eagle-eyed fan, you will see

written in a bench hidden behind the props. It remains to be seen whether Davos is involved in a scene here or if it is merely mislabeled, perhaps a remnant of a previously shot scene.

If the labeling is correct, it will probably still be connected to said scene, which involved Davos, Gendry and Tyrion fleeing King’s Landing. When they film next Wednesday and Thursday, I wouldn’t be surprised if we spotted Liam Cunningham and Joe Dempsie at least, and perhaps Peter Dinklage as well. Considering this is King’s Landing, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to also expect Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Lena Headey, and Jerome Flynn.

In regards to the current shoot near Belfast, these photos are surprisingly telling:

Just bumped into the Game of Thrones cast in Belfast 😍 #lovemylife #Gameofthrones

Never know who you’d meet on botanic avenue nowadays ❄️🔥🐉#mormontissmashed #got #gameofthrones

We have reason to believe Iain Glen, Rory McCann and Kristofer Hivju are all working together at Wolf Hill, an old disused quarry turned into a dramatic frozen lake with an island in the middle. These actors are not alone: As we exclusively revealed last week, Kit Harington was spotted filming in that location, and the following photos with excited fans show that —as of yesterday— Harington was still in Belfast:

You know nothing, Jon Snow… Winter is coming ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️Me with King of the North 💗❄️ #me #girl #kitharington #jonsnow #gameofthrones #love #happy #polishgirl #fit #fam #life #lifegoals #amazing #thuglife #cool #bestoftheday #winter #selfie #gym #shopping #girl #best #fitfam #fitspo #makeup #art #graotron

#KitHarington with fans last night, in Belfast. 🍷

This coming together of disparate cast members just as a major action sequence is being filmed at Wolf Hill Quarry indicates that, just as other sources have alleged in the past, at least Jon, Jorah, Sandor and Tormund will travel north together for this quest.

This cast seems to be unusually fan-friendly. I know it’s part of the business, but they still seem very accommodating.

I am very eager to see the interactions between these characters. Can’t wait to see Jon interact with the Hound as well as Jorah. The Hound Tormund interactions should be interesting as well.

ghost of winterfell: The Hound Tormund interactions should be interesting as well.

That’s what I may be looking forward to the most. Well, and Jon and Jorah.

Won’t be time for interaction, they will be Leroy Jenkins-ing their way there, and then have their asses handed to them. It’s all about action, even when it makes no sense.

Kristofer looks positively tiny next to Rory. And he usually towers over Kit. I can’t tell who is taller, Ian or Kristofer. It’ll be pocket size Jon next to these guys next season, that’s for sure.

I’m so looking foward to see Sandor’s reaction when he sees the night king and co.

Tormund could tell the Hound how much he prefers biting off parts of his enemies 🙂 . And reminisce about a certain warrior lady!

ghost of winterfell, Tormund would get so turned on thinking of Brienne kicking the Hound’s ass. lol

Tormund would get so turned on thinking of Brienne kicking the Hound’s ass. lol

I am really looking forward to the Hound and Jorah and Jon interactions!

Damn the set designers are amazing. They transformed that collapsible plastic table yesterday to look like a real authentic wooden table. Good job guys. Can’t even see the LOC/GOT anymore.

But really the KitN and his merry band of traveling tough guys will be television gold. However much screen time they get, it won’t be enough.

Glen is slightly over 6 feet tall, Hivju is 6 feet even.

Agreed, and I’ll add Sansa to that list, since her and the Hound have such a weird history, especially in the books. For instance, hiding his bloody cloak in her cedar chest — wassup with that, Sans? Inquiring minds want to know!

I still question how all of these individuals come together where they supposedly do.

at Eastwatch, if the leak is accurate. For Tormund, Beric, Thoros and Sandor to join Jon’s group at Eastwatch it has to be pre-planned (as in sending a letter before leaving Dragonstone). Tormund wouldn’t just happen to be there. I suppose the other three might but it seems unlikely. It seems more probable that Beric’s group goes to Winterfell and are there when Jon calls for Tormund via raven and choose to go with him. OR, will Jon actually ‘swing by’ Winterfell before heading for Eastwatch? I don’t think we’ve seen any ‘leak’ specifically stating that he does that, but we’ve been waiting for certain reunions and they could happen then. It’s a lot of extra travel but in any scenario there’s going to be a lot of distance traveled quickly and conveniently.

OK, WotW, you’re undoubtedly dissecting that new ‘Reign’ promo video shot by shot right now, but I can’t wait! Can it really be Jorah who tells Jon, ‘You’re a Targaryen’? Whom else would he say those words to? Dany scarcely needs reminding. And here we were, all figuring that Jon would hear it from either Bran or Howland, with Baelish the dark horse candidate…

When Jorah realizes that The Bear gave Longclaw to Jon, that should be an interesting moment. On that note was there ever any acknowledgement by Lyanna Mormont that Jon had their ancestral sword? I dont think so but maybe the books will address it.

This cast seems to be unusually fan-friendly.I know it’s part of the business, but they still seem very accommodating.

Firannion, It’s an amazing video, but I’m pretty sure it’s fan made. It’s full of shots from other things, like some shots of Jon and Jon’s voiceover is from Kit’s movie Pompeii.

It’s fanmade and has been around for months. Jorah says that to Daenerys.

I’m sure Jorah will understand it. He gave it away in the first place when he departed for Essos. If Jeor gave it to somebody, he respected that person and give it to him for a reason. It would kinda of nice for Jon to give him then sword but then he has no sword to fight with.

It won’t be only action, some dialogs will happen during this mission. We got Jon and Beric with Thoros to talk about resurrections. Tormund/Hound, Jon/Gendry or Jorah. Some interesting options for a dialog. The best part of this.

I’d like to image that Tormund and Sandor, as two straight-talkin’ dudes, will get along and become good friends. I suppose goofball shippers would give that pair a silly name…

All this was covered in the leaks. Tormund is tasked with manning Eastwatch (presumably by Jon, with other Wildlings I assume). Thoros, Beric and the Hound turn up there because their new mission is to help against the WWs. ( I wonder why Eastwatch? Why not CB?) . However Tormund has them thrown into the dungeons.

When Jon, Davos, Jorah and Gendry arrive there from Dragonstone, they all get together for this mission. Nobody goes to Winterfell.

After the incredibly interesting period where they were doing Dragonstone filming and we got all the stuff with Kit, the rest of the Spanish location shooting has seemed very dull by comparison.

The leak specifically indicates that Jon doesn’t meet Arya or Bran this season, so he doesn’t return to Winterfell after he leaves.

I believe Tormund is at Eastwatch because he’s garrisoning it, though I could be wrong there. The Brotherhood characters are said to be present because they went North to the Wall to join the fight against the White Walkers; they also did not go to Winterfell, according to the leaker, and the Hound specifically states he has no interest in going there since he knows Brienne is there.

I guess I had read all that and forgotten. nvmd then 😛

Im trying to stay spoiler free but what i have see about the North of the wall stuff it makes me worried for this bad ass group to get together.. They are like the Westeros dream team and i want their teaming to bad ass, formidable and somewhat long lasting… hell give me a spin off series on this haha

I’m not sure what you’re referring to. There is no promo, as far as I know.

There is an obviously fan-created video teasing season 7 by that name, but it’s patently recycled season 6 footage with shots from other movies, and shoddy added effects and poor editing, so I imagine you can’t be talking about that.

How does Sandor know that Brienne is in Winterfell? I didn’t read that part in the leaks.

I can’t wait to see the dialogue between Jorah and Thoros. They are fight side by side again 🙂

How disappointing. I didn’t recognize the footage from other movies, so assumed it was new. It did seem early for more than a tiny teaser! Whoever put that together did a pretty slick job. It looked convincing on my tiny phone screen, at least.

Don’t mind me, I’ll just put on this pointy hat and sit in the corner for a while.

The potential for these four characters is amazing; one of the things I love about Thrones is characters that have previously had nothing to do with one another crossing paths. And these four characters…….

First off, the Hound meeting a member of the free folk is simply fantastic; he is as straight-talking as they are and I can see he and Tormund getting on over a few legs of chicken and some ale/sour goat’s milk (though they may disagree on the issue of Brienne!).

Jon and the Hound is another interesting one, purely given the latter’s interactions with Arya. She told him that Needle was given to her by

(though she did not specify which one) so it will be interesting to see if the topic of Arya (or even Sansa) is raised between the two of them.

Jorah and Tormund doesn’t seem that interesting on the surface of things, but given the anti-wildling attitudes of Northerners, it will be intriguing to see Jorah interacting with one of them, and to see his attitude towards Jon’s decision to allow Tormund and the rest of the free folk south of the Wall.

The one that intrigues me most, however, is Jon and Jorah. Jorah’s father clearly had a lot of faith in Jon and in his abilities, and his cousin Lyanna is one of Jon’s most prominent supporters. Jon also saved Jeor’s life, and avenged his death – any conversation these two have has so much potential! – and that is before we even get to the matter of Longclaw. I wonder if it is the gift of that sword more than anything else that will convince Jorah of how much his father valued Jon. And after they get bored of discussing those topics, they can move on to the anti-Ned Stark tendencies Jorah has displayed in seasons past.

Actually Jorah and Tormund can also be interesting because there is a possibility that Tormund might have hooked up with Mormont ladies in the past and might even have produced bastards (some even suggest Lyanna Mormont).

But I highly doubt that we will see long interactions between those characters; Jon/Sandor, Tormund/Sandor, Jon/Jorah, Tormund/Jorah…there is not enough time for these. There are only 7 episodes, all these characters have separate plots and their interactions wouldn’t really serve to main plots (maybe except Jon and Jorah), they would just be some light moments like Tormund/Brienne and there is no time for those anymore. I think their interactions will be limited to action scenes as some people suggested here.

I was not aware of these leaks, very interesting. Why does Tormund throw them into the dungeons, because they don’t recognize Jon as the King in the North perhaps. I am trying to think why? I can see all of them at Eastwatch because they all take a boat to get there it is the quickest.

A marketplace? KL is thriving under Queen Cersei 😛 All that business and commerce!!

They should do a spin-off with these people. Would love it!

Tormund seems so little next to Sandor. I really thought he was much bigger because he was towering over Jon past episodes. Jon will be looking like a dwarf next to them. (But I know the feeling since I am quite small too)

But I highly doubt that we will see long interactions between those characters; Jon/Sandor, Tormund/Sandor, Jon/Jorah, Tormund/Jorah…there is not enough time for these. There are only 7 episodes, all these characters have separate plots and their interactions wouldn’t really serve to main plots (maybe except Jon and Jorah), they would just be some light moments like Tormund/Brienne and there is no time for those anymore. I think their interactions will be limited to action scenes as some people suggested here.

The Tormund/Jorah thing occurred to me too, but I don’t think it has really been hinted at in the show, other than the time Ygritte told Tormund to stop going on about the night he spent with a bear. Aside from Ygritte calling Tormund out on the BS she felt he was spouting, I don’t think there is the set-up for the show to go with that story line. That said, it would be quite cool to watch!

I don’t think I’ll get to see all these characters interacting the way I want them too (sadly) but I do think that Jon and Jorah will at least have to mention the Old Bear. This is most likely to be the interaction that the show focuses on.

Although there isn’t the time for it, I would love a Tormund/Hound scene with them eating chicken and bonding.

Heck, I’m of the opinion that Sandy somewhat begrudgingly respects that ‘woman’ who kicked his ass – I think he and Tormund could have some hilarious interactions.

innocence: Actually Jorah and Tormund can also be interesting because there is a possibility that Tormund might have hooked up with Mormont ladies in the past and might even have produced bastards

I don’t think even Book!Tormund makes such outlandish claims!

Clob: I still question how all of these individuals come together where they supposedly do.

There are any number of means by which this might happen. Anticipating specific plot and narrative details is very difficult, to put it mildly!

In the books there’s some imagery in Sansa’s POV after Blackwater that points toward something more happened between them. But then again, it could just be Sansa romanticizing the situation and nothing really happened. That group together, in combat battling together, is going to be the most watched episode in TV history. The banter alone will make TV history.

Can’t wait. Hope that group has enough chickens for the Hound 🐔

I don’t recall anything similar happening on the show. In fact, any Hound/Sansa shipping deal was played down, or ignored entirely. Plus, show Sandor is significantly different from book Sandor.

Likely they covered the significant distance north via ship, instead of fighting their way overland through a war-ravaged, increasingly snowy countryside. Potentially much faster and safer, even with the Winds of Winter blowing.

Alba Stark: Aside from Ygritte calling Tormund out on the BS she felt he was spouting, I don’t think there is the set-up for the show to go with that story line. That said, it would be quite cool to watch!

The other issue is that both are supporting characters. The “bonding” between the main characters (particularly Jon & Daeny) is going to be much more important to the story. Those two in particular might affect one another’s character evolution in multiple ways, particularly given how much parallel evolution between the characters we already have seen.

What also could be key will be how Jon and Sansa renew their relationships with Tyrion. And, of course, Arya probably will be back in the picture soon. She never had any relationship with Tyrion, but she had very different relationships with Jon and Sansa.

And, of course, there is a huge plot issue that I’m curious to see revealed: what mobilizes these disparate forces to move north? “The White Walkers are coming” is not going to cut it

the Walkers have made it obvious that there is some invasion of Westeros happening. (It does not have to be known that White Walkers are the invaders: and I can easily imagine people accepting that there is an invasion without accepting who the invaders are.)

Sure he does! In fact, there’s even the remote possibility that the bear was one of the Mormont women – they say they’re skinchangers who go off into the woods to mate with (other) bears…

Before some people get all excited. Brienne and Jon, Melisandre and Sansa, Pod and Jon also had their arcs intertwined, they also came together, but they didn’t even share a word with each other or a scene without others present. And there were 10 episodes, not 7. Don’t get your hopes up for any meaningful interaction, especially under their circumstances. It’s gonna be all action not character dynamics for that plotline (which will cover less than 1 episode btw).

I don’t think that’s the case at all. Why will Jaime try to carry so many food supplies to KL from Highgarden if things are good in KL? And what about the iron bank conflict mentioned earlier; I think earlier spoilers on this site had said that Cersei can’t pay to iron bank etc. And the leaks

also suggested that Tyrion tries to convince Jaime in the 5th episode that although Daenerys is not perfect either, she is still better than Cersei etc.

I’m pretty sure that all the spoilers so far suggest that Cersei will suck pretty hard as a ruler like his father had thought (he had said that it was not because she was a woman, but because she wasn’t smart enough) and fans expected, and Jaime will try to fix and compensate for her mistakes

The only thing that saved them during Hardhome was the water so it makes sense from that perspective.

No I didn’t, sorry 🙂 I thought it might be your sincere opinion.

ghost of winterfell: The Hound Tormund interactions should be interesting as well.

I admit I’d love it if she ended up being a capable queen just to piss off the fandom. But we all know she’ll be a hot mess.

One would think Cersei would have to be even more miserable as queen. She’ll never be able to leave the Red Keep in relative safety again. The people hated her before for simply being told she’s a sinner, throwing shit and insulting her on her Walk. It won’t be a secret who was responsible for blowing up all those people, the Great Sept and the HS, whom they’d all begun to ‘worship.’ She’s a prisoner of her own making.

sex scene between Jon and Dany is not gonna take place on the ship but in the cave in the North, and you know what, Jorah and Tormund are gonna guard the entrance

Haha that’s for sure and Kit is closer to Emilia’s height and Iain towers over her so Kit will really look short.

Yeah, it is fake. Jorah used that “your a Targaryen, your the Mother of Dragons” line to Dany after they took Mereen and found out Joffery died and Dany said “I need to be more than that”

Damn Emilia is so good at hiding, one minute she’s in Belfast and the next in Spain and we have no idea how long she’s been at either. No one can find Emilia unless she wants to be found lol.

Saying that, I thought we knew what was to be filmed at Caceres but Emilia being there puts a element of surprise in the works.

I don’t think Emilia will film in Caceres, she may be in Spain to film her part in the ambush with NCW, Peter Dinklage etc.

Cáceres really look to be dressed for a parade and public celebration: so many Lannister banners on the square.

But Emilia’s presence is intriguing. Maybe she has been doing some shots for the ambush battle, or has it been wrapped up already?

Emilia’s most likely there for final days of the Malpartida shoot, along with Peter. The old town filming doesn’t begin until Dec 14 and the ambush filming is believed to be wrapping sometime over the weekend or Monday as of the latest reports.

Doesn’t kit tower over Emilia? She was in stiletto heels at the Emmys and he was still slightly taller. Ian is probably just a bit taller than Kit.

Emilia has been in spain since the week started.

Cersei will make the lannister soldiers hold of the aggressive people. She will have her parade!

Wraps up on Monday. So 3 days left, or 1 if they have the weekend off.

Doesn’t kit tower over Emilia? She was in stiletto heels at the Emmys and he was still slightly taller. Ian is probably just a bit taller than Kit.

Iain is literally half a foot taller than Kit. 6’1″ and 5’7″.

The VFX team are there now with that dragon head. Coincides with Emilia being there.

And there’s this part of the props in Oldtown of Caceres that says “Tyrion/Davos skiff”

photo is gone because production request. there are body props inside king’s landing too. Cáceres is king’s landing and other places like Oldtown. you won’t see photos of Oldtown filming though. (…) game of thrones will film more scenes in Cáceres.

Yeah, I’m sure the characters will remain in sullen silences the entire journey North and won’t say two words to each other. /sarcasm

No he doesn’t, don’t forget men’s shoes also have heels on them now. In the filming pics on Dragonstone with neither of them wearing heels I’d say Emilia is up to Kit’s nose while her head is closer to Iain’s chest level.

Emilia has boots with heels on Dragonstone photos.

As a side note, both Sophie and D&D confirmed Sansa is wearing heels too. I remember reading D&D’s interview where they mentioned it’s to make Sansa tower over her co-stars even more. Why would they want that is anybody’s guess.

Body props inside king’s landing? Interesting. Maybe, there’s gonna be some rain on the parade after all? But I guess, we have to wait for more info, and especially, which of the directors will be filming. Matt Shakman is almost certain now, if Tyrion and Davos are to be involved. But will it be one sequence or two separate ones?

If it’s one, then I guess the parade will be Jaime’s triumphant return celebration combined with Tyrion’s stealth mission in KL

most probably, Tyrion’s attempt to meet with him in private and to pave way for the negotiations on the armistice

On the other hand Tyrion and Davos in KL, and the parade of whatever other sequence they intend to film, may be different events happening in different episodes.

Or it will be only Tyrion and Davos in KL sequence, which is also entirely possible. And the parade or whatever other extravagance will be filmed in Dubrovnik…

Mel: No he doesn’t, don’t forget men’s shoes also have heels on them now.

“Now”? Men’s shoes have had heels since the 1960’s. Elton John routinely wore shoes that were more heel than boot!

innocence: Why will Jaime try to carry so many food supplies to KL from Highgarden if things are good in KL?

If Kings Landing is where they decide to gather everyone and “hold the fort,” then they would be moving people and provisions there. I am sure that we can think of numerous other possible explanations with a little effort.

Clob: One would think Cersei would have to be even more miserable as queen …. She’s a prisoner of her own making.

I think that Cersei derives happiness from people doing what she tells them to do and other expressions that she interprets as people recognizing her innate superiority. Thus, not only has popularity never has been a source of happiness for her, unpopularity probably is: being hated by the weak and the failed is another proper expression of Lannister-envy.

Note: Having spend some time in Spain – on at least two occasions literally in the gutter – I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, and judging by her Twitter feed I believe Lena just might agree with me. 😉

Wimsey: “Now”?Men’s shoes have had heels since the 1960’s.Elton John routinely wore shoes that were more heel than boot!

Ancient civilizations even used heels, for men and women. Mind you, the 60’s were a long time ago….🤔

Regarding th photo of the cute young lady flashing the peace sign on the Plaza de Las Veletas set: thank you for knowing which side of the hand is used for a peace sign, as lately I’ve been a wee bit miffed and disappointed by how many people don’t know the difference between a peace sign and (hand reversed) an “up yours” sign.

Lol they did but when I was a child in the 90s men didn’t wear heels on their dress shoes and were horrified at the thought of having even a slight heel on their shoes.

Yes but they are approximately the same size as Jon’s heel on his boots there as well and nothing compared to women’s dress high heels.

Confirmed!!!I have just seen Peter Dinklage in a car passing by next to me in Cáceres!I didn’t have time to take picture!!

Kit and Maisie were seen hanging out together in London last night .

I like that Emilia is having fun on her day off but I would appreciate if someone in the team told her to stay away from activities that might cause her to break a leg and/or any other body part. She literally has her hand in every single plot pot this season, from Pyke to Dragonstone to Highgarden to King’s Landing and the North + the Wall. If something happens to her, we’re fucked. No GoT ’till 2018. That’s a dark, dark thought.

Lol ikr. Her broken hip last year, wasn’t that a result of her just going on a simple run? Kids these days.

In the books there’s some imagery in Sansa’s POV after Blackwater that points toward something more happened between them. But then again, it could just be Sansa romanticizing the situation and nothing really happened.

That group together, in combat battling together, is going to be the most watched episode in TV history. The banter alone will make TV history.

Can’t wait. Hope that group has enough chickens for the Hound

Definitely romanticizing on Sansa’s part. My understanding is that when asked about

GRRM’s response was along the lines of “Sansa is an unreliable narrator.” Exaggerating what really happened with the Hound would certainly echo the way she eventually blamed Arya for Lady’s death, even though *she* was the one who lied about what happened with Mycah and Nymeria.

Isn’t Eastwatch the place Jon was sending Slynt though? Oh right that was Greygard something or other. Where is this Eastwatch located?

Kit left Belfast yesterday, was spotted with Maisie in London

Why do you think Tormund throws them in the dungeons though, doesn’t trust they are also wanting to join the cause?

Eastwatch-by-the-Sea is the easternmost castle/fortress/stronghold on the Wall. It’s fairly popular with the Wildlings, because they can trade their goods with whatever ships brave the northern seas to trade with the Wildlings and the Night’s Watch. My recollection from the books is that any goods available at Castle Black from across the Narrow Sea (spices, etc.) have been obtained in sale or trade at Eastwatch.

Lol they did but when I was a child in the 90s men didn’t wear heels on their dress shoes and were horrified at the thought of having even a slight heel on their shoes.

Well I’ve never made a secret about my age (in the same decade of my life as GRRM) and in their early days (or at least early famous days) when Brian Epstein got them wearing suits the Beatles wore “Cuban” heels. I’m linking an online article about the history of the Cuban heel https://www.shuperb.co.uk/blog/2014/01/cuban-heels-history/

There are still loads of men who won’t wear a raised heel – my late father wouldn’t have worn one – granted he passed some years ago. It’s down to individual choice I guess. Being female I wore raised heels sometimes when I was younger though I preferred a medium heel to a full-blown stiletto but nowadays I go with “flatties” for comfort even for special events.

There can be a number of potential explanations, why some misunderstanding may be happening between Tormund and Beric/BwoB. BwoB sees itself as an independent player, which takes orders from no lord but the Lord of Light, and Tormund would have a good reason to distrust that Lord. Moreover, Beric has been resurrected 6 times, so he may have reasons to believe that he is the chosen one and there may be a clash with Tormund on this issue (would be interesting). So, maybe the BwoB will try to sneak outside the Wall without Tormund’s permission or similar: good as they are, private companies with private initiatives have to learn discipline at war. I just hope, there won’t be blood.

Sansa ever the romantic and daydreaming of Jonquil with the flowers in her hair. At least for now in the books.

Why do you think Tormund throws them in the dungeons though, doesn’t trust they are also wanting to join the cause?

Not sure whose going to be with Tormund but my guess is because the Hound has been known to be a Lannister loyalist as far a rumors up north. Maybe the Hound didnt play well with others when asked to go back and got him in the slammer. I mean, we are dealing with Free folks and a Clegane here. Blades are bound to be drawn
