I don't really buy that one. It is similar, yes.

To me, I'd guess the following about the symbolism...

1. It's a storm. Simple and plain.
2. It is a galaxy. Not sure what the purpose would be in the story, though.
3. It represents all gods leading back to one, central god, which is death. Death is a big part of most major religions, and each arm on the symbol could represent a face of the "Many Faced God" of the Faceless men leading back to the central idea that Death is the only god.

One of my favorites was the 7 spirals representing the faith of the seven and the white walkers were created as an abomination of the faith of the Andals.  But it's often represented with 8 spirals.

I read a bit today about the symbol potentially being a symbol of "God's Eye" which is a lake, at the center of which is the Isle of Faces where The Pact took place. It is currently said to be inhabited by the "Green Men" and was visited for a season by none other than long-time Stark friend and ally Howland Reed. Supposedly TNK wants to get there and wreck stuff in revenge for the WW's being created/defeated so long ago.

I dunno. Sounds plausible.

On another tangent.

Jon and Cersei supposedly filmed scenes together on the Kings Landing set for season 8. The director for these scenes was/is in charge of episodes 1, 2, and 4.

I read a theory/potential leak somewhere that Jon is captured/submits himself to be a prisoner/hostage to Cersei.

I'm not sure how that would play out, as I can't see him turning his back on Winterfell and the North, but, at the same time, I could...

What if the WWs come in Episode 3, as reported, in the Battle of Winterfell and wreck the northern host? What if the Golden Company times it perfectly and the surviving northern lords sell Jon and Dany out because they are already devastated? OR, Jon could turn himself over (even better, Arya wearing Jon's face!) in order to somehow convince Cersei that his intentions of saving the realm are true.

I'm not sure what all is going to happen, and I am excited.

In the preview, we do see a catapult taking a shot next episode. Maybe the Golden Company arrives BEFORE the WWs? Maybe Jon agrees to go with them to Kings Landing if they stay and help fight the WWs first?

All of this would put Jon in Kings Landing at some point in episode 4. That's some pretty fast pacing.

I think Bran will confront Jaime then let it go because he knows Jaime will help the cause...  

Or he could have Arya kill Jaime... 50/50 :)

 

Winter was always coming.  Bran wouldn’t be the 3 eyed raven without everything that happened going down.  So given that, I think Bran will be the ones that defends Jamie being there.

Somebody explain to me the Tyrion betraying Jon/Dany angle.  Unless there's super duper secret inception going on, Cersei wanting Tyrion dead doesn't exactly help that theory that Tyrion and Cersei have a secret agreement and he's going to betray Dany/Jon. poo makes no sense to me.

Doesn’t make any sense to me either. Never did

The only way I could see Tyrion betraying dany is if he finds out Jon is King and dany burns tf out of Kings landing. At that point he’d back a better horse

If you paid attention... New season name order have Peter Dinklage as main character in season 8 and Deny in like 5-8th range...

Sean Bean was the first name in season 1. Death of Tyrion confirmed.

 

Kidding he's been first before.

Tyrion as the character we knew from seasons 1-4 is pretty much dead anyway.  Best we're going to get is more 'varys doesn't have a cock' jokes.

'I used to think you were the cleverest man alive.'  Well yeah, ran out of books...a mind needs books like a sword needs...

      Playoffs!? You wanna talk about playoffs!?

      17% odds Better than the 0% chance that I figured we'd have at this point, but we're basically counting on the Bucs to poo the bed.

      It will probably be head to head to determine the division winner since I believe we would have to win both to have a chance

      So, Carolina (7-6) goes into a Bye Week while they sit on top of the NFCS with Tampa Bay (7-5). For those that don’t know here is how the tiebreaking procedures work for the Division: Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs). Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. Strength of victory in all games. Strength of schedule in all games Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best net points in common games. Best net points in all games. Best net touchdowns in all games. Coin toss The Panthers are currently 7-6 with a 2-1 record in the division and a 5-3 record in the NFC. The Bucs are currently 7-5 with a 2-0 record in the division and 5-3 record in the NFC. *Should the Panthers make it to Tiebreaker #5 they will almost certainly lose since this team enjoys winning in the final minute each week. Hopefully, they can avoid letting it go that far. Remaining Schedules: The Panthers round out their schedule with: ·       Bye Week ·       @ New Orleans (2-10) ·       VS Tampa Bay (7-5) ·       VS Seattle (9-3) ·       @ Tampa Bay (7-5) Tampa will round out their schedule with: ·       VS New Orleans (2-10) ·       VS Atlanta (4-8) ·       @ Carolina (7-6) ·       @ Miami (5-7) ·       VS Carolina (7-6) So to make this even more complicated, you need to cheer for the Saints this week and be prepared to hate them next week. Hopefully, them, the Falcons, or the Dolphins can give us a hand along the way. Conclusion: The easiest path forward is to beat New Orleans and sweep the Bucs. However, that would be too easy so we may need some help from our cousins in Georgia and Louisiana. Personally, I think Miami may give Tampa some problems since it looks like they are starting to turn their season around. But knowing us, we will find a way to lose to the Saints and somehow beat Seattle just to keep things interesting. There is 1 quarter of the football season left, and the way I have it figured that’s kind of how our playoff chances go over the next 4 games: By finishing: ·       1-3: (Eliminated, even if one wins against Tampa, it won’t matter) ·       2-2: (50% chance depending on who we beat, if Seattle/New Orleans- No. If Tampa both times, maybe if not likely, would still need some help from somebody on their schedule). ·       3-1: (Very likely if not certainly. Would mean sweeping the Bucs and either the Saints/Seahawks OR beating Saints/Seahawks with at least one win against the Bucs) ·       4-0: (Dust off your Sunday best and clip your nails, we are hosting a playoff game!) So get ready for meaningful football in December, because it’s here for the first time in a long while.
