Almodóvar del Río is a Great House’s kastilyo & Game of Thrones Season 7 SPOILERS! 

moved to Almodóvar del Río Castle to shoot for a week. We have long wondered which Westerosi stronghold this Cordovan castle may depict, but now that filming has actually begun, we have to wonder no longer: It will be the regional capital of one of the kingdoms… At least! Read below the cut to find out all about what will happen there.

Seriously, back up now if you don’t want to know about a major season seven setpiece. There are pictures, and you know what they say:

In other words: If you scroll down, you won’t be able to just

As this 8th Century Muslim castle was renovated so much throughout the centuries, it offers architectural styles from many eras and cultures, which was great for the crew (more on that later), but it also meant it was difficult for us to guess what it would become. Courtesy of

, we now know, and it fits the theories of many in the community: The scenes at Almodóvar del Río Castle will depict parts of Highgarden, with a conflict taking place inside the walls between Tyrells and the Lannister soldiers.

also revealed that a resident of the town is acting as the body double for the esteemed Dianna Rigg, who plays Olenna Tyrell. Weirdly enough, they also report three extras are wearing Stark costumes. We should warn, however, that this wouldn’t be the first time a non-fan site misidentifies an actor or costume. They might have thought the following soldier is a Stark, for example. It’s not clear, but to me it looks like he may merely be a Tyrell officer or one of their bannermen:

What’s more, one of the pictures shared by the Cordovan site shows a much greater spoiler: A Lannister flag flying over the Tyrell castle’s walls. This may mean that, at some point in the coming war, Highgarden will be taken over by the Lannisters… There is an alternative explanation, however: That Almodóvar is Casterly Rock too!

Casterly Rock? Well, let’s return to an earlier comment: Why would the castle’s variety of styles be a positive aspect for the crew? Because Almodóvar del Río may not end up being

Highgarden. Jacob Anderson appeared on set, dressed as Grey Worm:

Why does Grey Worm’s appearance mean that the castle may not just be Highgarden? We have it in pretty good authority that neither Grey Worm nor his Unsullied will be involved in any of the Highgarden scenes. Instead, our sources have told us that the Unsullied Commander will lead his men to assault Casterly Rock.

revealed two hitherto unseen major strongholds would make strong appearances in the show —Precisely, Highgarden and Casterly Rock. Today,

did not just reveal that Almodóvar del Río will be Highgarden. All their photos along with our previous reports point to it also being Casterly Rock; And to the Tyrell’s home being the castle around which next year’s big land battle revolves: Mounted on a dragon, Daenerys will lead her Dothraki horde in an ambush against Jaime, Bronn and the Lannisters who have just sacked and taken over the nearby castle.

be filmed in the fields of Almodóvar del Río Castle. The 1 month-long, 500 extras & 100 horses-strong shoot begins soon in Malpartida, and Highgarden will be digitally inserted in the background. Considering it all together, today’s revelations mark Highgarden as one of season seven’s major landmarks.

: We have mentioned Grey Worm, so we will make the most of it and share a little season seven tidbit our sources have told us about. Grey Worm won’t merely be fighting next year: Grey Worm and Missandei’s relationship will go much further than in previous seasons. In fact, there is a sex scene in the works!

Grey Worm and Missandei sex might be the least sexy sex since Jaime and Cersei.

You don’t need a penis to have good sex.

OK I think they are cute and all but what a waste of time

lol I mentioned this in the previous thread but I see you guys got this nailed down. 😝

Gotta say I’m struggling to see how ADR can serve as more than one castle- it’s so small. And the courtyard is tiny too- any skirmish there will be just as cramped as the accursed Sand snakes fight in the Water Gardens.

Although I guess they could use separate shots of the castle gates, battlements as well as interior scenes.

So who attacks first, Grey Worm attacks CR or Jaime Highgarden?

Does this means that Unsullied will loose from the Lannisters?

Get hyped! Season 7 will probably be the most action-packed yet and I love it!

I don’t know how to feel about Greyworm and Missandei’s sex scene lol.

Looks more like Tyrell soldier than Stark. But it looks to me like Highgarden and they sacked it. I fear for Unsullied and Grey Worm.

I thought you were going to say that GW is going to survive the season…

That is something I hope you guys can confirm soon

Who can complain on another sexy scene of beautiful Nathalie Emmanuel

Omg how? How would a sex scene work between the two?

I know the show has aged up the character but I still think f Missandei as a 10 year old. A fault on my part.

If you guys think vaginal penetrative sex with a penis is the only sex there is, or the only sex worth taking seriously, you may lack sexual imagination 😛

Grey Worm may not have a penis, but he has a tongue with which he can do more than speak two languages spartanly. Cunnilingus, man. Cunnilingus.

I am hyped about the Greyworm and Missandei relationship going to the next level – it’s been a sloooow burn. Hyped for itself, and also because it’ll be delish to sit back and watch the complaining about them taking up precious time which could be devoted to the Starks and the Lannister twins……

Interesting that the castle can serve as BOTH High Garden and Casterly Rock! It would be cool if Tyrion and GW are in charge of taking over CR, just as Jaime will take HG earlier in the season (I assume).

So the unsullied attack Casterly rock and I’m assuming they lose because later the lannister attack the Reach and wins. This prompt daenerys to go to the reach.

You don’t need a penis to have good sex.

Exactly. I, for one, find it absolutely fantastic if the writers decide to acknowledge that. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been told two women don’t

have sex since there is no penetration (and, by the way, why on earth would there be no penetration just because there are no penises around?). Grey Worm and Missandei clearly do have some sexual tension, I’m sure they are perfectly capable of bringing a LOT of pleasure to each other and I’m really looking forward to seeing a sex scene between two people in love.

The news of being taken to Casterly Rock and – even more – Highgarden make me giddier than I can explain. I can’t wait to see it and I just really hope they do justice to the lush courtyards and the sheer luxury that I imagine Highgarden embodying. I always imagined it quite large (like on the feliche illustration), I know it’s probably gonna be much smaller, but I hope they at least make it distinctive in terms of wealth and gardens. Anyway, Cordovan looks amazing.

Whoa whoa whoa that’s Jon’s territory. Maybe they can share some tips, if they even meet. 😀

Any news on NI and Arya’s storyline in particular or should we expect some? Like with upcoming piece of news on Jorah. It’s largely quiet when it comes to her arc. Thanks.

Dany will probably be happy for them. ‘You’re not a slave anymore GW, do as you please, go ahead and bang my friend. But if you break her heart I’ll have Drogon burn you to a crisp.’

No fun for Dany in the works too ? She’s only human and conquering the world is hard work. She needs to let loose a bit too, haha !

On a more serious note, the castle is perfect for Highgarden, looks just like in the Kay Huang artwork. I think that Stark garb wearing man is just a Tyrell looking at the leather collar and arm chainmail sleeves. This season can’t come any sooner !

Really gonna miss Mace’s feathered helmet.

Irina Stark: On a more serious note, the castle is perfect for Highgarden, looks just like in the Kay Huang artwork.

Yeah that’s why I choose it for this article! Huang’s depiction of Highgarden is the one that most closely resembles Almodóvar del Río. Most other paintings are based on much fancier and stylized French reinassance castles (Disney/fantasy-style castles, basically). It makes sense, too, because the Tyrells are quite French, and culturally they are more reinassance than Middle Ages. But still, Almodóvar looks pretty good as Highagarden.

The penis is not the only male erogenous zone either.

Will there be any main character at Casterly Rock when Greyworm attacks it? It doesn’t look like it as neither Peter Dinklage nor Lena are in Spain at the moment. I am a bit confused as to the timeline of these 2 attacks. Does Jaime attack Highgarden after Greyworm attacks CR or the other way round.

Got to admit the whole Greyworm and Missandei stuff is quite boring, I’m hoping he dies this season.

I agree, if Dany had Casterly Rock after the ambush they wouldn’t have to do the dragonpit scene, and if Jaime had lost Casterly Rock he wouldn’t attack Highgarden.

So i think Grey Worm attacks Casterly Rock, Jaime wins the battle.

Dany learns everything, that’s why she leaves dragonstone unprepared and ambushes Lannister army.

Perfect for Highgarden. I had a feeling it would act as Highgarden all along, looks just like the art.

I like the sweet moments between Missandei and Grey Worm. I think he will eventually die.

Tyrell-Lannister-Unsullied and apparently Tarly (later on) action scenes sound cool! I Think Jaime will win and then the ambush.

Seven Hells, please, no more awkward scenes with Missandei and Grey Worm -.-

So, does this mean there will be a storyline or at least some scenes of Grey Worm and the Unsullied sacking Casterly Rock? I think this is a bit pointless since there are no other characters involved. If Tyrion went with him and Cercei and/or Jaime would be there defending the Rock it would have been a much better plotpoint.

Or is it possible that Almodóvar is not supposed to be Casterly Rock at all and the sources only made this conclusion after seeing the Lannister flag flying over the walls?

It would make sense if Almodóvar is High Garden, High Garden is taken over by Jaime, then Jaime leaves and is ambushed by Dany and the Dothraki while Grey Worm and the Unsullied are send to recapture the castle so the Lannisters will lose their control over the Reach immediately.

I’m laughing at all the confusion over how Grey Worm and Missandei could

have sex without a penis involved. Sweet summer children, LOL.

Jacob Anderson wasn’t in Seville when they were filming the 7×07 dragonpit scene, right? Could he die taking Casterly Rock (the presence of a Grey Worm/Missandei sex scene might hint at that, since God knows no one is allowed to be happy for any length of time on this show)? Is the attack so late in Season 7 that he doesn’t have time to make it back to KL to join up with the other Team Dany members who are involved in that scene?

by something with so little screentime? If you don’t find it engaging, that’s fine, of course, but come on guys… This relationship has been on the far background of the show since it began; The scenes that involve them are short; And there are never any more than one or two per season, at most. You’ve literally had no time to be bored.

TheKingWhoCares: I think this is a bit pointless since there are no other characters involved. If Tyrion went with him and Cercei and/or Jaime would be there defending the Rock it would have been a much better plotpoint.

We didn’t say main characters such as Tyrion wouldn’t be involved. We just haven’t confirmed they

It’s not only sad but a bit offensive to non-hetero, non-cis couples, whose completely legitimate sexual experiences they are erasing by making fun of how Grey Worm and Missandei could possibly have sex.

Uhm…where did I say anything about a penis? Oh wait. I didn’t.

It’s unsexy sex because it’s Grey Worm and Missandei, two totally boring characters with subpar actors whose only real value is that they are physically attractive.

Yes… Because that’s a much more reasonable position.

Eos: Exactly. I, for one, find it absolutely fantastic if the writers decide to acknowledge that. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been told two women don’t

have sex since there is no penetration (and, by the way, why on earth would there be no penetration just because there are no penises around?). Grey Worm and Missandei clearly do have some sexual tension, I’m sure they are perfectly capable of bringing a LOT of pleasure to each other and I’m really looking forward to seeing a sex scene between two people in love.

Exactly!!! There are so many instances in this world of relationships based on power and politics that it is refreshing to see two people who hold genuine affection for one another. This relationship has been a bit of a slow builder – sort of like Sam and Gilly – and it will be great character development for Grey Worm (someone programmed to feel nothing) to finally have an intimate scene with Missandei. Variety is the spice of life, and I like the fact that the show gives us a variety of partners and settings. The sex scenes would get a little repetitive if that were not the case. Besides, I think the possibility that the world may soon come to an end could act as an aphrodisiac.

People reserve such a unique degree of venom for Grey Worm and Missandei that I can’t help but wonder sometimes if it’s a by-product of either a) the romance being strictly a show-thing and not from the books, or b) racism.

I just thought of a scenario as to why Daenerys doesn’t take any Unsullied to the ambush. What if she gets information that the Lannister army has sacked HighGarden and taken out Olenna? Knowing that Casterly Rock is relatively unguarded, she sends Greyworm there with the Unsullied, and at the same time, she takes the Dothraki to the ambush. GW and the Unsullied may encounter not many Lannisters at CR, but Euron and his IronBorn!

I should clarify; I’ve no info to support it one way or the other, but I do like it.

I suppose the sacking of Highgarden is before the attack on Casterly Rock, since the Spanish article says Highgarden only will appear shortly the first couple of episodes?

Every scene with Jacob Anderson is cringe-worthy and Nathalie Emmanuel can only distract us by being gorgeous for so long.

I don’t think the Spanish article mentions something like this, and the attack on highgarden is right before the ambush, if Dany had won everything she wouldn’t need dragonpit.

I think they are great actor and that most of the animosity towards them come from the fact that their characters are largely not from the books. Of course, they exist in the books, but there Grey Worm is little more than an extra and Missandei is a child. More troublesomely, it comes from the fact that their relationship is atypical. They are not white, the man is a eunuch, both are former slaves. I’m not saying

“If you don’t like them you are a racist, sexist, transphobic pig”

—Emphatically NOT that. I’m saying that there are underlying issues because of which some people may not find these characters engaging… and I believe it has to do with the characters being too different from them.

Evidence of this is the constant vitriol and hatred and criticism their relationship receive, which is completely unrepresentative of the miniscule amount of screentime the show actually spends on it. A mere dull, boring or not well acted relationship wouldn’t receive such hatred for no more reason, especially when their scenes are so few and so brief.

I tend to think of it as option a because for example something like Sam and gilly who recieve more screentime more than these two doesn’t get such hatred and the next one is they are associated with dany and essos storyline

It always amazes me how 10 mins of screentime spent between these two over the period of 3 seasons can get such hate ..

I wonder when the attack by the Unsullied on CR happens episode-wise? And will it be connected to the naval battle?

You really think I’m not a stunningly beautiful black woman? Or even an average looking one?

Look, this election season has left me as raw and disgusted as pretty much every other person I know and speak to about such things, but I make no assumptions about any of you. And it was my understanding the comments were to be politics free, so imagine my surprise.

I also think Emilia Clarke is a terrible actress and her scenes with Jacob are like watching a bad high school play. Then again, maybe it’s just because I’m not a stunningly beautiful British brunette.

My dislike of Grey Worm and Missandei has nothing to do with their book characters. I don’t begrudge them having screen time. They are “fine.” But a sex scene between the two is going to be almost as unsexy as the sex scenes with Jaime and Cersei. (Who are, by the way a white couple with fully intact genitalia.) But maybe that’s because I’m not a blue-eyed blond Danish man either.

Great stuff all around.I am sure the castles and the action will look great on screen.I love the news about Grey Worm and Missandei.Also I am confused by people who think they can’t have a proper sex scene.As if lol.They can have great sex.I have always loved them.Their story is so sweet and absolutely needed in a show like game of thrones.Thank god the writers gave them a bit more to do and not just be Dany’s former slaves.I have already prepared my tissues in case he dies cause Missandei’s reaction will break my heart.I have the impression this will not be an easy season for Dany but I think it’s a good thing if we get to see a more human side of her.

Most GoT fans seem to hate romance either way, I don’t know why. Most people I’ve seen comment on relationships are saying that it’s ‘twihard’ or sappy or cliché or silly or they blame D&D for departing from the books who are all about blood and gore and dramatic stuff. But they forget that GRRM is a romantic at heart and love is the most important thing in the world, and yes, even in the world of ASOIAF and GOT.

Heck, we have this story now because a long time go in this story, a man loved a woman (R+L) so why get all salty and start insulting the writers for wanting to put some love and positivity out into the world ?

House Tyrell deserved better than this!

I like this idea.. But This idea makes dany intelligent and I don’t think they are going for that now because they want her to be in a position to lose power and negotiate with cersei ..maybe tyrion will come up with this plan ..

Having said that she can take KL and still enter a negotiations with cersei because of KL

On the other hand of GW takes KL he doesn’t need to be around dany or at dragonpit ..so he can survive the season after all..

“But a sex scene between the two is going to be almost as unsexy as the sex scenes with Jaime and Cersei

Speak for yourself. They are two young, wonderful people who have been tormented their entire lives and who are now faced with the possibility to experience a wonderful, powerful thing. Why would it be unsexy ? Their relationship is heart warming and beautiful, I honestly don’t get where you’re coming from.

People reserve such a unique degree of venom for Grey Worm and Missandei that I can’t help but wonder sometimes if it’s a by-product of either a) the romance being strictly a show-thing and not from the books, or b) racism.

don’t know how anyone could consider love by two people racist, but there we go. My wife and I do great lots of time with my friend happily resting.

On a side note and somewhat tacky, we will find out exactly what Danerys asked about the pillar and the stones.

I’m surprised the Unsullied won’t be part of the ambush but I like the strategy of taking Casterly Rock from the Lannisters, which Daario actually suggested in 6×10. I hope the Unsullied are successful and raise the Targaryen flag over CR, just like the Lannisters have raised their flag over Riverrun and now Highgarden. It’s too bad Tywin isn’t alive to see his precious castle come under attack by Aerys’s daughter.

I’m glad Jacob Anderson is back filming after being MIA for weeks. I still think Grey Worm is a goner this season – probably during the attack on CR – but at least he’ll get laid for the first time in his life before he dies. After no sex scenes in season 6, it’s funny the next one we’ll see is a Missandei/Grey Worm one. And, seriously people, Grey Worm’s still got a tongue and fingers – they can still enjoy themselves.

How do you know that ? it seems you have some preconceived notions about the scene. i believe they deserve some happiness and pay off for the slow built-up in the relationship

I tend to think of it as option a because for example something like Sam and gilly who recieve more screentime more than these two doesn’t get such hatred and the next one is they are associated with dany and essos storyline

I agree with Sam and Gilly. They got more screen time but nobody is bitching about it. I find them both cute. But don’t try to bring Dany into that it’s beacuse they’re associated with her.

Weiss and Benioff said what could possibly go wrong for Dany? Meaning a lot of it will and there will be some losses. If she only won, it would be boring. But if what we heard is true, then it’s a bit too much, but we’ll see how it plays out on screen. GW and Missandei scene seems like a logical progress for their story and possible conclusion. But I hope Grey Worm can make and he wasn’t at dragonpit just becuse he has Casterly Rock and not because he’s dead or something like that.

I have the impression this will not be an easy season for Dany but I think it’s a good thing if we get to see a more human side of her.

I can’t agree more ! I’m all about that, this is whaf I want to see more of in Dany. More vulnerability, emotional complexion, basically a deeper and more diverse affective dimension.

I expect Matt Shakman will excel in directing his episode(s) in that regard since he is really good with human interaction.

Idk. I’ve seen the opposite. Sam and gilly get more hate because they have more screen time and people which people think is pointless. Also they have less supporters than the Greyworm and Missandei paring.

Just to clarify, I know there are other means of sex.

The scenes at Almodóvar del Río Castle will depict parts of Highgarden, with a conflict taking place inside the walls between Tyrells and the Lannister soldiers

Could this mean that Cersei has managed to convince Jaime that the Tyrells are responsible for the massacre at The Sept & the death of Tommen??

I am thrilled at the idea of Daenerys attacking and doing some Lannisters in! Yeah!

I personally dislike GW and Missandei’s scenes as well, and I would like to be free to judge them by the subpar dialogues and scenes they had to play. I am a mixed race woman myself, not to mention an immigrant. I find Nathalie the most beautiful woman in GoT along with Carice Van Houten (tie), but all GW&M scenes were lame. It is all the writer’s fault, in my opinion. Maybe even the director’s. Nothing to do with their skin colour or their hair type (which is the same I have).

Could we please stop this continuous assuming the worst of everyone and everything, a pattern that has been going on in this fandom for so long? Some people see racism, harassment and every kind of injustice and violence everywhere, and it is really frustrating.

About the sex scene…I am one of the few here who thinks the alleged leaks might not be what you all think they are, and therefore I am speculating:

might this sex scene be either the one the leaker saw on a storyboard or partial script, or be the one the piloted leaker wanted us not to interpret correctly, knowing we would have seen what was being filmed on location anyway and we had to be thoroughly mislead in order to keep the real plot a secret?

The thing is you don’t have to have her defeated to show her hunan side and emotions

They had plenty of chance to do that in the past seasons and they didn’t go through with it…

Yup. Nobody seems to mind (to this level of hatred) when other minor characters from the books get elevated to significant screen time.

Most GoT fans seem to hate romance either way, I don’t know why. Most people I’ve seen comment on relationships are saying that it’s ‘twihard’ or sappy or cliché or silly or they blame D&D for departing from the books who are all about blood and gore and dramatic stuff. But they forget that GRRM is a romantic at heart and love is the most important thing in the world, and yes, even in the world of ASOIAF and GOT.

A lot of the hatred for people falling in love in this show is not realistic, civilization, and human emotions don’t end during wars, I would think the two world wars and other wars be proof of that.

Well, at least there’s no way that Missandei will get pregnant!

You said Essos and also Dany. I know where you’re going with this. 😉 They like or hate it because of characters and how scenes play out. Btw Sam and Gilly were hated a lot during S2, 3, and 4. Not like they get that much of a screen time, they got more than GW and Missandei.

In general context these are secondary characters and their scenes do have a meaning, it pushes characters forward. GW and Missandei in particular both slaves, teached not to feel anathing. All of sudden having love is cute and adds to them than just being servants for Dany and act like robots. But you understand that.

So another leak confirmed then (Lannister vs Tyrell battle ) from the same user that leaked the entire season on reddit weeks ago.You don’t need anymore prove that user was LEGIT with his spoilers.

So they shot together. I think it’s obvious who won this..

Moreover, why do we need a sex scene between these two characters? I guess I thought with so few episode left they will focus on other things, I guess, though I’m not one of them I realize there are people interested in this couple.

Acceptance of those different than ourselves should be viewed as a matter of humanity not politics. That is all. I will now look elsewhere for a distraction from our current reality. LOVE

WOW so the huge battle that Emilia was talking about is going to take 1 month to film.So it’s going to be big as battle of bastards or even BIGGER ?

I just thought of a scenario as to why Daenerys doesn’t take any Unsullied to the ambush. What if she gets information that the Lannister army has sacked HighGarden and taken out Olenna? Knowing that Casterly Rock is relatively unguarded, she sends Greyworm there with the Unsullied, and at the same time, she takes the Dothraki to the ambush. GW and the Unsullied may encounter not many Lannisters at CR, but Euron and his IronBorn!

My thoughts exactly. Tyrion would of course think to hit Cersei hard by taking the Rock while she’s not looking.

This castle is so beautiful! The more I see of Spain, the more I’d like to travel there.

Jon Snow might give him pointers. Gawd that would be a cringey conversation for them to have in the show lol.

Cool for the damaged former slave to give the “Lord’s Kiss” though. 😉

You don’t seem like an intelligent person to me,i think i lost some braincells reading your comments .

but Jaime shot with Grey Worm. It’s no unguarded. I think it’s obvious that Grey Worm lost.

Grey worm met Jon Stark AKA inventor of oral sex with Ygritte. Sure enough, Jon gave him tips, I guess they shared ” soldier stories”…

Jewel: Most GoT fans seem to hate romance either way,

Are you KIDDING??? 😀 Judging by posts everywhere on the internet, a huge number of GoT fans, especially among book readers, live for the Great Rhaegar-Lyanna Romance of the Ages! If eight seasons of GoT were nothing but R+L somehow making J happen with Howland Reed singing about it in the corner, they would be ecstatic! 😀

Yeah the moment they said what could go wrong I knew that absolutely everything would lol.

I know she suffers a few losses but on the other hand she has sex with Jon so that seems like a fair deal to me haha.

There will be like 3 minutes at most ffs,it’s not going to take a whole fucking episode,there’s also way less characters now than before so i am glad that they are focusing more on secondary characters .

Sorry if this has been addressed already, but what happened to the flower-themed helmets from last season for the Tyrells?

In regards to a scene w/Grey & Missy, I don’t particularly care to waste fluff time with a truncated season. Hell I’m not interested in watching anyone fuck at this point, ESPECIALLY if it’s not an adaption (which how can it be at this point).

With what is left I would appreciate being as faithful to the source material (what GRRM told them) as possible considering prior cuts.

The overall feeling I have is that after Tyrion warns Dany of all the wildfire in KL, they settle for a sort of pincer movementstrategy, taking the little support Cersei has AKA the westerlands.

It is also my feeling that both ambush and taking of Casterly Rock will reverse the tide in favour of Dany, which will make her decision to leae everything behind and join Jon in the the North even more emblematic. As in her vision, she was close to sit on the Iron Throne, but she chooses not to, and goes further into the Wall.

By the time the threat is over, so are the Iron Throne and the dragons…

Greyworm is totally dying next season :((((

After rererererewatching episode 9, “Baelor,” I’m wondering if Lady Mormont will ask Jon to give Longclaw back, or at least let her play with it for while?

Well… Perhaps he still has the pillar, but just missing the stones LOL 😀

Then again, Grey Worm always was a cunning linguist? After all, He learn’t the ‘common tongue’ !

If you think the show from now on it’s going to be all action and not character driven anymore,i think you may have to look for a different show because i for one i’m not interested in any of that . Also like i said it’s not going to take any screentime away for anyone else considering it’s going to be a short scene,these sort of exagerations is what ruins the discussions in the fandom,like how the Sand Snakes ruined the show even though they had less screentime than the Iron Throne and some other examples .

If leaks turns out ture. Seems like a temporary victory, once Jon learns his parentage don’t think they will have romantic future beyond that. One sex is all you need to concieve a child, if you believe she’s gonna have a child.

I would be careful with that info on next season. Until we get confirmation or at least that’s how I look at any spoiler from this reddit person. I do understand possibility is high but just in case, not only for Jon and Dany. Which is sounds so unnecessary and cringeworthy. Apocalyptic sex.

As Luka said, this castle could be standing in for both Casterly Rock and Highgarden. Just because they were both there doesn’t mean that they shot together.

And Cersei is The Queen and Casterly Rock is her childhood home. Regardless of whether Jamie is the lord there, it is still Cersei’s to lose. Would it make you happier if I’d said …”from Jamie and Cersei as the current ruling family of the Seven Kingdoms?”

I had a feeling that this location might be standing in for two different castles based on the directors list, extras casting, and the fact that Team Dragonstone has left Spain. Nice to have it confirmed! L7R indicated in a previous article that every director except for Alan Taylor had scouted this location. He has yet to make an appearance anywhere in Spain, so if he doesn’t turn up in the old city for any KL filming, it looks like all of the episode 6 scenes will be filmed in NI and Iceland (based on that FB exchange).

Yeah, Grey Worm’s toast. Thrones is pretty predictable in how they kill off supporting protagonists. This is right up there with, “I’m writing to my mother in Volantis to tell her we’re preggers!” and “Let me tell you how proud I am that you’re my daughter before I roast you alive.” I recall Sam/Gilly getting a fair amount of flack for the screentime they took up during seasons 4 and 5, so I’m not sure why they’re being held up as a point of contrast for Grey Worm/Missandei. They were boring people stiff long before G/M started making eyes at each other.

Well you see GRRM only told them who is going to have sex and fall in love in the next never to be completed books so the last two seasons will be only people falling in love and having sex.Nothing else.The horror right?!How will we survive without five violent deaths per episode ?

Why is everything labeled as hatred? So what some people find some of the characters boring or their story line not interesting, same was with Sam and Gilly. Yes, we need some romance and love and I don’t get the people who call those things dumb, after all it is part of life and a wonderful part of it among all the bad. But, I cannot condone the fact that the word hate is bandied about so casually these days. It’s offensive to be called a “hater” when there’s no hatred felt in one’s heart.

I think an attack of Casterly Rock is the best move. Remember when Robb was winning battles but losing the war. Robb decided the only way to really beat Tywin was by taking Casterly Rock. If taking the Rock was a good move against the great Tywin then it should certainly be a good strategy to take out Jaimie.

Stop making yourself the victim like people attacked you for being racist,i just explained to you how your argument is dumb without making any type of accusations towards you and you chose to ignore my comment because it doesn’t fit into your agenda .

It’s just a castle, they can’t shoot two battles in the same castle, the very same time. They will shoot the one for some hours and then the other…not right together..

It’s not a studio…but ok Dany has CR, we will see the Targaryen flags there the following days….

Jaime and not Jamie is a different person than Cersei and i don’t understand why people keep forgeting this..and no Jaime isn’t a King or anything.

Cersei is Queen and Jaime is fighting the war… he exists as different personality.

Well I’m positive whatever episode the Greyworm/Missandei sex scene is placed in will be viewed as the worst episode of the season. People in this fandom really hate those characters and complain disproportionally about them for any scene they are in.

Look, most of these characters are going to get steamrolled by WW, so they deserve a good fuck before they go.

Plus, we’ll finally find out if they cut “the pillar or the stones”.

I think we’ll see the attack on Highgarden first and the one on Casterly Rock we’ll get late in the season. What directors have been spotted on set?

Sure he does but is that where true pleasure lies for a man, in the tongue and fingers? Of course, he will be happy to satisfy Missandei because he’s unselfish that way and truly cares for her, but it’s not going to be be a physical release for him. The again, with those parts removed maybe he doesn’t even feel the need for that.

I couldn’t disagree more apocalyptic sex is the best kind of sex lol.I love people finding warmth in the midst of disaster and I am glad that their encounter will bring the human heart in conflict with itself that is so dear to George.I don’t want the show to just be a transformers movie in the last seasons.You can consider the spoilers as you like but he has not been wrong yet And the Jon/Dany thing is the safest bet in all of them.I didn’t need the leaker to confirm that to me I was just unsure of the timeline.

She was never called Lady of Casterly Rock in the series,on the other hand Jaime was called lord by the Lannister army last season.

Yes, they do. It’s a sad thing for me to read about as well. Some great/tough characters in the Tyrell family. Now they’re possibly being wiped out.

“…the writers for wanting to put some love and positivity out into the world…”

I’m sure that Grey Worm will die after they have sex and become happy and hopeful for like a day or two, and Missandei will be devastated and suffer for years…so I’m not sure if the writers ever put love in this story with that intention 🙂

I think one of the reasons why some people avoid investing in romantic plots in this story is that all love stories end tragically here and people just don’t expect any lovers to be happy anymore…They know that one of them will probably die if they become truly happy for like 3 minutes.

and why was that not mentioned in the leak, it’s like super important lmao maybe it’s not Jonerys but Missworm who do it on a boat in the finale. The dude did confuse the names on a number of occasions.

Who are you even? And what argument I made is dumb? I didn’t make an argument Lol. Made a few comments but I did not see your name involved.

And nothing is being taken personally thank you 🙂

OMG you posted this same exact thing on Reddit!

damn, Lads was all about fluff and romance and googly eyes and sex in his leak instead of actual big plot developments as if he was getting off on it but this slipped through the cracks? tsk

Jon is the joining of ‘ice and fire’ already, no need for another kid of incest – we’ve just gotten the last ones killed off.

Longclaw belongs to Jon. Jeor gave it to him and Jon has made good use of it (more than other characters to whom people think Longclaw should belong to). Same with Oathkeeper being Brienne’s. I don’t see people screaming at Brienne to give back Oathkeeper to Sansa or whatever.

Jaime was booted from the KG, so wouldn’t he be Lord of Casterly Rock now? Primogeniture and all.

I agree with you on both accounts. I think their love story is cute. That said, a sex scene between these two is something I don’t want to watch as I don’t find them sexy. They are both beautiful, but there’s a difference between beautiful and sexy/erotic. Missandei and Greyworm, to me, are both the former but not the latter. Maybe it’s because neither of them has a dark side – they seem simply too clean or pure for truly good sex. I’m afraid that to me it’ll look more like the innocent fumbling of kids, and I don’t want to watch that.

By the way, we can assume that both battles (Highgarden and Casterly Rock) will take place between episodes 1-5. Podeswa, Mylod and Shakman visited Almodovar del Rio but not Alan Taylor, so we can rule out episode 6. And I doubt these battles fit in episode 7 since most known characters are at the dragonpit by then.

EP. 1 – Euron assaults Ellaria and Tyene; Euron wins

EP. 2 – Yara fights Euron; Euron wins

EP. 3 – Jaime attacks Highgarden with Tarly army; Jaime wins

EP. 4 – Lannisters ambushed by Dany; Dany wins

EP. 5 – Unsullied attack Casterly Rock and are surprised by Euron; Euron wins

This last defeat could prompt Dany to retreat to Dragonstone and listen to Jon’s advice. She would have lost the Tyrells, the Martells AND her Unsullied.

The only decent love story on the show is the one between Brienne and Jamie and that’s because it’s so well acted. Instead of gratuitous sex scenes, you have two actors of such good quality they are able to convey their feelings and longings through visual acuity and exceptional acting. It’s no accident Dany gets naked and sexual so often, it hides the fact that she’s not a very strong actress. Maybe if a better actress had the role I’d feel differently but she’s such a disappointment after her characterization in the books.

As if. I’d love to see how daenerys would find time to indulge in any sexual desires next season.

Greyworm and Missandei sex at least have build up, and is obviously being used as emotionality factor for his possible death.

Cersei inherited Casterly Rock on Tywin’s death, when Jaime was barred from inheriting. Even if he did regain his inheritance rights after being booted from the Kingsguard, there’s nothing to inherit, as it already passed to Cersei. The transaction already closed, so to speak.

“Lord” is a form of address for a superior; that’s why Tyrion, for instance, is frequently called “Lord Tyrion”, even though he isn’t lord of anything.

I think not. Think of the “khal and Khaleesi”. There is reason why most of the audience aren’t able to let their love go.

Well personally I think it’s a bloody fab piece of news. Awww, those two are so cute on screen together. I’ve found their developing relationship adorable. The actors really nail it. If they kill one of them off afterwards, I’ll be bawling! 😢

Instead, our sources have told us that the Unsullied Commander will lead his men to assault Casterly Rock.

I’m curious as to whom will be guiding them across the continent. It would have to be someone who knows the area – Dany can’t just point him west and say go find Casterly Rock. Granted that the Unsullied are trained and hardened soldiers, but still, they are totally out of their element. The Westerosi countryside and people are nothing like what they are used to in Essos.

At any rate, I’m glad GW doesn’t get killed in those first skirmishes that were reported, and goes on to some kind of happiness. I figure that the sex scene will be just before he leaves for Casterly.: a sweet goodbye time with Missandei. I’ve said before and I will say again, I don’t mind seeing a loving relationship on this show. (as long as it doesn’t take too much time.) A show full of only rape and pillaging would get boring, too.

You’re right of course, but I’m hoping there will be a scene in which Lady Lyanna and Jon discuss it and her uncle, mostly because there just can’t be too many scenes featuring the Lady of Bear Island. 😉

So I guess they won’t even attempt to show us Casterly Rock as it is described in the books, where it’s a fortress carved into a massive coastal headland – something like the Rock of Gibraltar. I for one find that disappointing. Oh well.

And if Tyrion isn’t going to be part of the assault/infiltration there, why did they bother including the story about him being appointed supervisor of its drainage systems by Tywin?

Aemon: EP. 1 – Euron assaults Ellaria and Tyene; Euron wins

EP. 3 – Jaime attacks Highgarden with Tarly army; Jaime wins

EP. 5 – Unsullied attack Casterly Rock and are surprised by Euron; Euron wins

Ep. 5, don’t understand how if the Lannisters lose all their forces in Ep. 4 they can even defend Casterly Rock? Ep. 1 Curious that Euron would have enough ground forces to go against Dorne, but the Dorne fleet is with Dany.

Don’t see how Dany’s fleet can land at KL with Euron still around.

And in all of this , if Drogon can make mincemeat of the Slaver fleet in 5 min. a bigger Drogon ought to make anyone surrender without a fight!

LMAO all the uproar over the Missandei & Grey Worm sex scene, and just watch it be a tame little scene where all we see is shirtless GW going down on Missandei (a la Jon/Ygritte) as the scene fades to black. With the ice apocalypse bearing down on Westeros, I think everyone

get in as much sex as possible. I think the dragonpit scene should just be one big orgy.

I really like Kay’s idea about Grey Worm and the Unsullied encountering Euron at Casterly Rock. Even though I suspect the CR battle will be the end of GW, I think a Euron/Ironborn vs. Grey Worm/Unsullied fight would be pretty damn awesome.

Sure he does but is that where true pleasure lies for a man, in the tongue and fingers? Of course, he will be happy to satisfy Missandei because he’s unselfish that way and truly cares for her, but it’s not going to be be a physical release for him. The again, with those parts removed maybe he doesn’t even feel the need for that.

Yeah, I think Missandei will derive more pleasure than Grey Worm, however, he does still have a prostate, soooo….

I disagree, I don’t think her naked scenes are compensating for anything, that would make Carice a terrible actress and she’s amazing. Emilia was amazing in Me Before you and in Dom Hemingway, the problem is the character itself. Dany is so serious and dramatic all the time, it’s hard to portray a character that displays so little emotion. Which is why what Jenny is so true – we need to see more of her, more emotional depth and complexity, layers of who she really is inside. In the books we always see what she’s actually thinking (a lot !) while on screen we don’t see nearly as much as we should. Jaime and Brienne’s relationship is wonderful, but we haven’t seen Jon and Dany interact yet. Kit and Emilia have outstanding chemistry and they had something going on off screen romantically a few years back, I’m sure it’ll be very interesting to watch them together on screen.

I think we will solely because she hasn’t been happy and romantically fulfilled for sooo long she’s almost lost that part of herself, that came across extremely vividly in ep 10. This is how we met Dany in the very first episode, sold to marry a man against her will and being denied a chance to true love. They have to approach that side of her again and if they don’t, it would be a missed opportunity.

Firannion: And if Tyrion isn’t going to be part of the assault/infiltration there, why did they bother including the story about him being appointed supervisor of its drainage systems by Tywin?

Even if Tyrion isn’t part of the assault, his intricate knowledge of CR and of the drainage system should be crucial to the planning process. And the story he tells also emphasizes how little regard Tywin had for his youngest child; he thought him good for nothing more than dealing with human waste.

So, if I’m keeping up here, no shooting location has been identified as the site for exteriors of Oldtown – is that correct, mods? I am beginning to lose hope that the Citadel subplot with Marwyn will play any significant role in what’s left of the story.

Geralt of Rivia: Whoa whoa whoa that’s Jon’s territory. Maybe they can share some tips,

lt is said that lrogenia of Lys could finish a man with nothing but her eyes.

Well, she sounds like an interesting woman. l don’t think that Grey Worm will like it with me on top.

You will make him like it. Are you a slave? Then don’t make love like a slave.

Pretty sure Euron wins sandsnakes + yara by Ep2- Jaime sacks Highgarden episode 4..

Dany leads her troops ambushing Jaime- expect a new Ring of Fire while Jon is wight hunting.

By the time Jaime artives at Kl, greyworm took the Rock.

Now here itmakes sense for Tyrion to meet Jaime-how could he expect to convince the winning side to give in?

Cersei would also only agree to even meet Daby and Jon if she is losing.

Plus: Dany leaving direction North dramatically MUST be a choice, she should be close to victory at this point. A very hard won victory, but nevertheless, the leaks only make sense if both Dany and Jon are willing to sacrifice everything to save the world and the last episode we have to see all the major players walking away from Kl- leaving the game of thrones behind.

Really? I thought the reply was quite witty 🙂

Highgarden, Casterly Rock, Sunspear, Citadel and possibly Euron´s ship Silence!

DnD have to make do with the budget, because they are paying 500k/episode to their top 5 actors.

This castle is so beautiful! The more I see of Spain, the more I’d like to travel there.

You really should, and if you like the castles you’re going to love the food. 😉

Cersei became the Lady of Casterly Rock, because Jaime had lost his rights when he became a Kingsguard and Tyrion lost his rights when he killed his father. They weren’t calling her as Lady simply because she had a bigger title-queen, she was “your grace”.

So Casterly Rock was definitely Cersei’s until Jaime was dismissed from the Kingsguard. I first guessed that it’s still Cersei’s because I thought Jaime can’t re-inherit it even if he is not a Kingsguard anymore, unless Cersei is dead. But I just checked Game of Thrones Wikia page and it says that “With Jaime’s dismissal from the Kingsguard, it is possible that he will inherit his father’s titles and positions, thus becoming the new Lord of the Rock ahead of his sister Cersei.”

And in the show, Lannister soldiers were indeed calling him as “my lord” in Riverrun; he is not the Lord Commander of Kingsguard anymore, so “my lord” can only mean Lord of Casterly Rock…the soldiers would call him “Ser Jaime” as a sign of superiority, not “my lord” : “In ASOIAF/GoT, the male children of great lords are given the courtesy title of ‘lord’ as well, UNLESS they hold another title (such as ‘ser’)”. And also: “Anybody serving on the Small Council is given the title ‘Lord’ ” So Tyrion was called as Lord because he wasn’t a knight and he was a small council member. These don’t apply to Jaime.

So I think the situation is open to argument but it seems like in the show Casterly Rock may be his now…perhaps men automatically take the titles back from women in charge if they can re-inherit. But of course, the throne wasn’t Cersei’s either but she took it anyway, so if she says “Casterly Rock is mine” that’s probably the end of discussion even if it’s lawfully Jaime’s now.

I’m not sure what will happen in the books; according to Wikia, actually Lord Commander of the Kingsguard can’t even be dismissed: “Unlike several other offices on the Small Council the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard cannot be lawfully dismissed, or at least not totally dismissed from the Kingsguard, because their vows are taken for life. Theoretically a king might appoint one of the other six Kingsguard members as the new Lord Commander to replace him, but it is unknown if this has ever happened.” So I think Tommen’s action to dismiss Jaime was the first time this ever happened.

But Jon became the King in the North as a bastard now, and Cersei just took the throne like that by force, so I think people just don’t care about these laws anymore. Anything can happen.

They are not shooting a battle in the castle, as I explained. A sacking, or the aftermath of it, probably, but not a battle.

Euron won’t attack anyone in the first episode. And I imagine that, when he does, it will be against the Greyjoys and Dornish at the same time.

Firannion: So I guess they won’t even attempt to show us Casterly Rock as it is described in the books, where it’s a fortress carved into a massive coastal headland – something like the Rock of Gibraltar. I for one find that disappointing. Oh well.

You do understand these locations are only used for specific rooms and areas, right? The outer appearance of Casterly Rock will be fully CGI, as literally every castle has been in the show, whether they use a real castle as a location or not.

I think there is a reason why neither of them have been nominated for any prizes when we’re talking acting.

As for penis less sex, sure, often the best sex between two people of any gender is done without a penis in play. That being said, Greyworm losing his genitalia as a child would mean that he should be practically devoid of sexual drive whatsoever (he also ought to look at bit more like Varys in real life, but hey this is fantasy and GRRM’s world, and let’s say he’s got his prostrate still.)

I’m fine with sending off Greyworm with a bang, though.

No true. NO off screen romance for Kit and Emilia. He has been dating Rose Leslie on and off since 2012.

So, if I’m keeping up here, no shooting location has been identified as the site for exteriors of Oldtown – is that correct, mods? I am beginning to lose hope that the Citadel subplot with Marwyn will play any significant role in what’s left of the story.

Even if there is a large Oldtown subplot, why would it need any street locations? It’s all focused on the Citadel, which will all be interior locations.

ygritte: why do we need a sex scene between these two characters?

Barristan Selmy didn’t become Lord of Harvest Hall on being dismissed from the Kingsguard, even though he was the heir prior to joining. The show has been muddy on the issue of who owns the Rock, but Jaime is only ever referred to as the person commanding the Lannister armies; if he was Lord of the Rock, it would be simpler to call him that.

he is not the Lord Commander of Kingsguard anymore, so “my lord” can only mean Lord of Casterly Rock…the soldiers would call him “Ser Jaime” as a sign of superiority, not “my lord” : “In ASOIAF/GoT, the male children of great lords are given the courtesy title of ‘lord’ as well, UNLESS they hold another title (such as ‘ser’)”.

That’s not true. The Tully soldiers last season all addressed Ser Brynden Tully as “my lord” (hence the rather awkward line “He’s my lord, my lord.”).

Calling him “Ser Jaime” is something that only people of equal or higher status would do, in my opinion. Common soldiers wouldn’t address him thus, it would be presumptuous.

I think there is a reason why neither of them have been nominated for any prizes when we’re talking acting.

On a side note, can you please make sure to upload the S6 audio commentaries somewhere please? Because I don’t really have a reason to buy the boxset apart from that, and I’m broke af so I’d rather ask something more useful for xmas. By that I mean the illustrated version of AGoT.
