Lastly, we have some final set photos featuring a seemingly out of place actor that will definitely lead to a lot of speculation concerning his allegiance.

Actor James Faulkner (Randyll Tarly) was also seen on set practicing his riding skills. Where his allegiance lies now that he’s been seen so far from home, we’ll leave to the comments to speculate.

Where do you think his loyalties lie now? Will the dragon or lion prevail from the ambush? Let us know below!

I’m trying to stay away from spoilers for season 7, but man it’s hard!!

Yeah, but he must survive, I’m curious to see how. Otherwise the Lannister bloodline will be pretty much f*cked. Plus, he’s too handsome, with his ‘square jaw and golden armor’. Edmure had a little crush, didn’t he ?

Not every House will survive. Tyrells are basically gone, Martells too and they rule their regions for a long time. Stark or other might follow. New era of Westeros.

Wasn’t Tarly a Targ loyalist during Roberts Rebellion?

The first man that Robert Baratheon killed was a Tarly at the battle of Summerhall. Which sounds to me that the Tarly’s were supporting King Aerys. They are also sworn to House Tyrell.

I would think that the Tarly’s allegiance would lie more with the Targaryens than the Lannisters.

Also, the Lannister line can continue through Tyrion. He’s perfectly capable of fathering children.

OT but Game of Thrones received a couple of Critics Choice Awards….

Wasn’t Tarly a Targ loyalist during Roberts Rebellion?

Yeah, Sam and Stannis had a scene in season five that mentioned Randyll was the only man who defeated Robert in battle during the Rebellion; Stannis also makes a point of mentioning that although Randyll’s vanguard was responsible for the victory, Mace Tyrell claimed the plaudits.

Yes, House Tarly was a bannerhouse of the Tyrells during Robert’s Rebellion so they fought for the Targaryens. I don’t think that means much now though. Randyll has been put into a position of power by Lannisters where the published books are at. While on the show he may be po’d about what Cersei did to his Lord, to me he seems like one that would vow allegiance to strength, which would be the Lannisters at the start of season 7 prior to Daenerys arriving and shit hits the fan. I can definitely see Cersei awarding him a great title for his allegiance, perhaps even Highgarden itself.

I heard GoT some Critics Choice Award nominations. 🙂

Randall should be on the same side as the Tyrells, which would be team Targ, but the Lannisters need someone on their side besides Euron. So who knows? Maybe Randyll refuses to follow a house led by an old woman? Maybe with the Tyrells so decimated, he makes a power play with the Lannisters to be given control of the Reach?

OT: Critics Choice Awards are announcing nominations right now. Hope GoT does well!

I think that Cersei will promise Randyll a HG. Tyrells are done and someone should rule in the Reach.

I’ve been predicting Randyll’s betrayal since the season ended, and it would make sense. One because of his hatred for wildlings, if he hates them he wouldn’t be fond of the Dothraki who are just as or more savage like. Two because House Tyrell is dead, Olenna is a Redwyne, and his wife’s family, the Florents, have always believed that they by rights should possess Highgarden. And three because he must possess some resentment towards the Tyrells, he’s been their loyal Rottweiler for all his life and has received little to no recognition. He was being loyal to them not the Targs during Robert’s Rebellion.

Sounds like an awful lot of alliances have to be forged in 7 episodes.

Also, the Lannister line can continue through Tyrion. He’s perfectly capable of fathering children.

There are tons of lannisters in lannisport and casterly rock. House Lannister will survive. Out of all the great houses, house lannister is the one mostly secured to survive. Even after Tywins bloodline ends, the winner will appint a new Lord Lannister to keep the peace in the Westerlands or else there would be civil war among new contenders to rule the west.

If lord Tarly is ment to betray its because the Lannister will threaten to sack Horn Hill. With House Tyrell(in the show) pretty much extinct(unless a cousin male heir shwos up), he will not attack the lannister army. I think Jamie will try to give Highgarden to him if he bends the knee to the crown and he will likely accept once Olenna dies.

This is why the show made a terrible mistake by leaving Garland and Wyllas out…..

It is not necessarily a mistake, could simply be streamlining of the plot. Book Randyl would probably not betray his liege lords and not only because there are still some alive. However, Show Randyl has not been defined that much yet, except for harbouring the same ill will against his oldest son. He might simply want the power and might have been waiting for this opportunity much like Roose did.

Ironically, I think that in the end, Sam will rule in the Reach.

Tyrells are gone, Olenna is too old. And if Randyll dies during the war, Sam will become the heir to Horn Hill.

When they defeat the WW, the Night’s watch will no longer exist, so Sam will be free to inherit his father.

Does House Tyrell have any heirs now-even distant ones? I have a hard time believing that the entire family is comprised only of Olenna, Mace, Loras, and Margaery. We want Willas, the real heir to Highgarden!

Yeah, but he must survive, I’m curious to see how. Otherwise the Lannister bloodline will be pretty much f*cked. Plus, he’s too handsome, with his ‘square jaw and golden armor’. Edmure had a little crush, didn’t he ?

Nay, he’s crushing on that other Jamie. You know, the red headed one from STARZ.

I read that as Edmure being disgusted by Jamie. Edmure with his many flaws is a way better human being. I love their scene, at least Edmure was allowed to tell the jock what crappy person he really is.

Where his allegiance lies now that he’s been seen so far from home, we’ll leave to the comments to speculate.

Randyll Tarly’s allegiance lies where it has always been, to Randyll Tarly. Last season I speculated that if something happened to Mace it might cause Randyll to make a play for the crown himself. This was before any of us had any idea what was going to happen, and that Cersei would seize the crown in such a spectacular way. Actually, she has made it easier for someone to come and seize the crown from her. Now that all the Tyrells are out of the way, at least on the show, it seems to me that old Randyll might not be satisfied with just running the Reach, he might want the whole thing. But that’s a lot to happen in just a few episodes.

I think he will go with whichever house is in a position to offer him the most lucrative deal for House Tarly. I can’t really tell, even with all the clues that have dropped so far, which house that might be. But if he was a former Targaryen loyalist, I think he might tip that way. After seeing him last season and getting confirmation of his absolute disdain for Sam, I can’t imagine he would have been too eager to back Loras, either. There is no political correctness or age of enlightenment in Westeros. I think he would just as soon make Darling Dickon a prince, if he can, than back old lady Tyrell any longer.

I don’t know why, but when I first saw the wagon with the pots, the first thing that came to mind was wildfire

Tarly will defect now that Tyrells were wiped out, Lady Olenna is old, so Randyll might see it as an opp for House Tarly to secure more power.

Who knows, maybe Lady Olenna just open the gates of Highgarden to Tarly and get sacked…

Of course, Dany has no patience for traitors and Tarly will pay with his life…

The greedy bannermen of Dorne and The Reach might see Cersei as an opportunity to suplant their Lieges…

Kelly: We want Willas, the real heir to Highgarden!

Hear, hear! I’m still holding out for the possibility of Sansa surviving the war and finding a reasonable degree of contentment as Willas’ lady, as previously betrothed. He sounds like a nice guy.

Thronetender: old Randyll might not be satisfied with just running the Reach, he might want the whole thing. But that’s a lot to happen in just a few episodes.

If House Tarly did succeed in seizing the Iron Throne, even briefly, that opens the remote and amusing possibility of the story ending with King Samwell, first of his name. Not a bad outcome, if you ask me!

Speculation: Dolorous Edd get the 999th and then Jaime Lannister gets to be the 1000…perhaps after him, there will be no need for Night´s Watch and Iron Throne .

That would be poetic! Especially considering that scene with him and Jon in season 1

Of all the books, the bit that has touched me most is Sansa’s hope that even if Willas just wants her claim to Winterfell, perhaps he will come to love her for herself.

Firannion: Hear, hear! I’m still holding out for the possibility of Sansa surviving the war and finding a reasonable degree of contentment as Willas’ lady, as previously betrothed. He sounds like a nice guy.

If Sansa survives, I can’t see her wanting to be anything but a Stark. That’s pretty much what her entire storyline has led up to. She was the one that tried to denounce her northern heritage, to rid herself of her Stark name. She’s potentially been a Baratheon, or a Tyrell, she became a Lannister and a Bolton , and Littlefinger has designs on her being a Baelish. Now she wants to regain her heritage and her Stark name and to reside at Winterfell.

No. Willas is the eldest. In the book, Garlan Tyrell was given House Florent’s holdings, including their castle after they’ve broken Stannis’ siege of KL.

If Varys can be a merman and Roose a vampire, why not? Why should werewolves have all the fun in Westeros?

The show has muddied the water surrounding Sansa. The Willas and Sansa ship is a nonexistent possibility on the show since they cut him and had the betrothal plans for Loras instead. Personally I think the books have moved beyond that pairing as well. At least she’s still of the mindset that she wants to meet a young lord and marry as she hasn’t been completely abused and broken by “becoming Jeyne” in the books. It’s difficult to even see her wanting to be courted and being with anyone for quite some time after what she went through on the show.

I’m sad now, House Tyrell deserved so much more than this. And Willas & Sansa would be an sweet endgame for Show-Sansa!

it’s hard to wait for new season, I will be crazy 🙂

As a woman I wouldn’t say that. Everything is possible, if Sansa finds a right man, or rather a right man finds her. I don’t know whether the show will be going in this direction, but potentially there should have be quite a lot of potential suitors around her: for instance, Lord Cerwin (not very attractive from the first look, but who knows, if the showrunners give Sansa (and us) an opportunity to know him better) and there is an entire army of the Wale full or young and handsome lords (as far as I recall there was a call for some young, tall, and attractive lord), and finally there will be Podric (and even Tyrion for S8). So, there is still hope for Sansa and maybe that will even help her to deal with Littlefinger.

Perhaps…..but when Sam signed on to the watch he had to renounce his title and any inheritance but I’m sure the book or the show can do whatever they want……I see same being a grand maester at the citadel.

Sansa was stalwart in S-6. I don’t know if the show has much time to delve into if she ends up happily coupled though. If it does, despite her horrific abuse, she is capable of going on to live a romantically, sexually, intellectually, emotionally..etc (I could go on) fulfilled life.

Here’s hoping that cartload of jugs is wine for a Tyrion and Bronn reunion, though if so the quartermaster (quartermaester?) might want to order more. A lot more.

Yeah, I think the Nights Watch is going to be obsolete very very soon. Are there even any Wildings left in the north that havent been wighted?

As far as we know not enough to be consequential. Mance united all of the wildlings.

They’ll all know the real reason again for the existence of The Wall and Night’s Watch in the first place; that the stories and legends were all true. The only way either are rebuilt/fixed/strengthened again at the end of this story is if the Others are not completely eliminated. If they’re gone, which assumes the magic animating the wights is as well, there will be no need for either.

I’d say if they are gone the northern climate may become a bit better as well and some of the land beyond The Wall might be touched by Summer and fertile. 😉

Firannion: If House Tarly did succeed in seizing the Iron Throne, even briefly, that opens the remote and amusing possibility of the story ending with King Samwell, first of his name. Not a bad outcome, if you ask me!

What a lovely, happy thought. I’d like that, but that’s too happy an outcome for GoT. I wouldn’t mind if it happened though, even if Gilly because Queen. Wouldn’t that be a kick in the shins for all the wilding-hating families in Westeros?

As far as everyone shipping Sansa, how old is Dickon Tarly? I don’t know if he will make it out of all this, but if he does, would he not be acceptable for Sansa? I don’t see how Randyll could object, but maybe I’m not thinking closely enough about it. Would RT have some grudge against the Starks that I’ve forgotten to take into account?

Yes. Jon who is seen as kind of a Stark allowed the Wildlings through the wall. I cant imagine RT will like that much. Also, to those who don’t understand/believe his resurrection he will quite probably be seen as an oathbreaker. Along with Ned who committed treason. Cant see RT wanting to marry his heir into that family.

Ambush: Everything is easy to predict, so long as Dany is involved. If she is leading the charge personally, her side wins. It’s just the way it is.

Which means Tarlys might be wiped out, making Sam heir. The Tyrells in the show are already wiped out except for Olenna, who is too old to make babies, so what’s going to happen to their lands or the Reach after her demise, I do not know.

I wouldn’t call Tarly a Targ loyalist. I would call him a Crown Loyalist. He also knows that he can advance his family to controlling the Reach should the Lannisters prevail over Dany. He won’t control the Reach if he sides with dany and wins, the Tyrell’s even with no off spring would still control.

If Tyrells are physically wiped out and no longer exist, they wouldn’t control anything, whoever is sitting the throne. That leaves Tarlys as the next most powerful family of the Reach, the wealthiest region of Westeros, now that the Lannister mines are running out. Tarly has every incentive to side with whichever side looks like it’ll be the winner, as doing so could make him lord paramount of the Reach and allow him to incorporate a good bit of Tyrell lands.

Nah, Tarly will be for the Lannisters. For simple political reasons. If the Lannisters win Tarly will most likely become Lord of the Reach and given Highgarden to give to his son. If Tarly is with Dany and they win well someone from the Tyrell clan will get Highgarden, Tarly will not. Tarly will be with the Lannisters so he can advance his family. RhaenysStark,

I agree, I just don’t think it will be Tarly in a situation choosing a side. I think he will simply go with the Lannisters. No choosing.

Also, wasn’t there a spoiler about Randyll and Dickon being burned alive by Dany

Season 7 is clearly going to feel even more rushed and poorly plotted than season 6. So obviously the general public will ADORE IT!

True. Cersei might be a mass murderer and a woman, but she’s also a Lannister, a Westerosi, wife and mother of kings. Dany, with the Dothraki, the Unsullied, the dragons, the kin-killing dwarf as adviser, is alien. Tarly struck me as a traditionalist. He might side with Cersei not because he wants more power, but because he wants to protect Westeros from a foreigner.

…which would make the spoiler more moving than it would be if Tarly, an already unsympathetic figure, were siding with the mass murdering, psycho queen out of a desire for more power. Dany is overly sympathetic and overpowered as it is. She needs a bit of complexity. This kind of thing could do it. Maybe.

Inga: As a woman I wouldn’t say that. Everything is possible, if Sansa finds a right man, or rather a right man finds her.

My guess is Sandor. Sansa is pretending they kissed in the books, he’s been a main character since the beginning, and they said they always planned to bring him back. And she had many scenes with him, most of which were from the books, and there were moments after, too. He told Arya to ask Sansa who came back for her (him), if she ever saw her again.

Well, he’s not in the show. And she never met him in the books, only had what Marg told her and that’s not the greatest to go on.

Sansa has developed over time into a “hardened woman” as the show calls her. I’m hoping that she meets Sandor Clegane again. She’s his “pretty sister.” He kept saying there are “worse men” than me.

The Hound isn’t the worst by a mile, as we’ve all come to see. It’s only his face. So what? I think Sansa would be over that now. The showrunners wanted us to love him, and I think most do. Why does he have some purpose that the gods are saving him for? Certainly not to do a wight demo for Cersei. That’s not worthy of the gods saving him twice.
