Game of Thrones and HBO have done their best this year to prevent leaks and spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 6. No screeners were sent out, cast members routinely lied about Jon Snow’s fate during interviews and obscure Spanish YouTube videos spoiling episodes a few days before they aired were deleted. Another recent ‘leak’ has also been deleted and this thread on the Game of Thrones subreddit didn’t just spell out this week’s episode, it spoiled all of Season 6.
Warning: The rest of this post is long and full of (alleged) spoilers.
In Game of Thrones Season 6 episode 4 Osha dies, Sansa reunites with Jon Snow and Daenerys refuses Jorah and Daario’s idea for her escape and comes up with a plan on her own. The three unrelated events were major points in “Book of the Stranger,” and were correctly predicted in the now deleted thread.
We at iDigitalTimes came across the thread last week started by reddit user truede. The user had not posted on reddit in two years, since correctly spoiling what happened in True Detective Season 1. We waited to see if truede’s predictions about this week were correct before posting on the subject.
Update: Here are the direct quotes from the Game of Thrones Season 6 leak. These were posted (and deleted on Reddit) before episode 4 aired last week.
- "Sansa will go to Winterfell and meet up with Jon. They will reminisce and Sansa will apologize for treating him badly.
- "Osha dies pretty soon but she's not a major character.
- "What does definitely happen in the next episode is Jorah and Daario see Dany and are about to save her. She tells them she doesn't need to be saved and instead has them help lock her in a tent with the other Khals."
Below are major plot points, deaths and alliances formed for Game of Thrones Season 6 that appeared in the same post as the correct leaks above.
Game of Thrones Season 6 Spoilers: What Will Happen With the White Walkers, Bran & The Tower of Joy?
According to the thread, next week’s episode “The Door”, will be our first and likely last showcase of the White Walkers for Season 6. Fans shouldn’t be surprised we see the White Walkers this episode, as they are in the trailer, but it does come as a surprise this is our final encounter with them this season. Their presence also means the death of two characters next week. Here are some points regarding these topics according to truede.
“ You will soon learn how Hodor came to be. The White Walkers attack Bran and company and Hodor will be forced to 'hold the door' as they make their escape.
“The White Walkers were created by the Children of the Forest.
“Bran has a vision of a bunch of the CotF gathering and doing something. He wakes and then confronts Leaf about creating the White Walkers. She says they did it to protect something. Bran then has a vision of the White Walkers but the Night's King actually senses him and that's how the White Walkers learn of Bran's location and attack. That's all you see from them this season.
“... Also we can assume the 3ER dies when the White Walkers attack.
“Uncle Benjen will come to rescue Bran and Meera. He will accompany them to The Wall before departing. Bran will have one more 'flashback' in the finale and we will see what's in the Tower.”
Below the now deleted Reddit thread, truede answered specific questions about the Tower of Joy (those answers still exist). The poster is asked what happens in the Tower of Joy, the relevance of Lyanna Stark and R+L=J. Truede says “we see Lyanna Stark… Lyanna whispers something to Ned before she dies. We then see a baby, and the very next scene we see Jon.”
Game of Thrones Season 6 Spoilers: Who Wins The Battle of Winterfell, What Happens in the North?
Last week, for the first time since Season 1, Sansa and Jon Snow were reunited. This event, correctly predicted by truede, was not just finally a happy moment for the Starks, it also served as a jumping off point for the eventual battle of Winterfell. The battle itself has been a mainstay for trailer for this season and we’ve got the alleged scoop of what goes down in the “Bastard Bowl.”
Truede also confirms Rickon will not survive his encounter with Ramsay. He’s not burned alive, as several have predicted, but his fate is sealed with “arrows actually.”
“Sansa will also have a quick meetup with Baelish. Jon and Sansa will eventually team up to try and get their brother back. They have the Wildlings on their side and then travel around and try to recruit more people.
“Sansa ends up meeting Baelish at the town outside Winterfell. Brienne goes with her. Baelish apologizes for allowing her to marry Ramsay. Sansa accuses Baelish of knowing about Ramsay and basically says she doesn't want anything to do with him any more.
“Jon does become King of the North. This is after the teen girl who is head of some house (with like 60 soldiers) speaks up about how she trusts the Starks and was one of the only ones to follow them into battle. Then the other houses speak up and apologize about not following them and they don't care that he is a bastard.
“The recruiting scene is pretty funny as Jon, Sansa and Davos make these great speeches on why she should join them only to find out she has less than 100 men. Don't think Sansa legitimizes Jon but she is agreement that he should be King.
“Jon chooses to imprison Ramsay rather than kill him.
“Jamie is forced to go to Riverrun and retake the castle from The Blackfish for the Freys. Brienne also goes to Riverrun to try and get the Tullys to join up and retake Winterfell. Brienne fails but escapes. Edmure is forced by Jaime to enter Riverrun and give it up since he is the rightful owner. The Blackfish apparently dies in battle but we never actually see it happen.
“Davos will find the little toy or whatever he gave to Shireen. He will confront Melisandre and she will admit to having her burned.”
“Only one Stark dies this season (not including flashbacks).
Game of Thrones Season 6 Spoilers: Character Deaths, Arya and (Most) Everything Else
While many details were shared in the spoiler-heavy reddit post, we were mostly spared from MAJOR character deaths in the thread. The poster didn’t “wanna give too much right away,” but there are deaths coming and several other unexpected twist and turns. One significant death will be the King himself, Tommen, who apparently “jumps out the window.” No other details or lead up to that scene were shared.
Unfortunately, those looking forward to the Cleganebowl theory, it doesn't happen. "Trial by combat is denied so The Mountain doesn't do much this season. He does get to have his way with Septa Unella though."
“ Who else is still alive? The Hound. He is saved by some followers of some sort. They all get killed by some former Brotherhood Without Banners members while he is away. The Hound meets up with the other Brotherhood Without Banners and gets revenge.
“ Euron gets chosen to be the new king because of his plan to marry Dany and enter into an alliance with her to take King's Landing. Yara and Theon steal their ships instead and plan to enter into an alliance with Dany instead.
“Samwell's father doesn't approve of Gilly. Samwell decides he doesn't care and leaves. But not before stealing his father's Valyrian sword.
“Arya will be asked to kill some actress. She refuses and The Waif is given permission to kill Arya.
“Dragons don't really interact with Tyrion. And yes lots of major characters die. Mostly in the finale. Don't wanna spoil all of them but Tommen does die... But really all that matters is that Wun Wun lives.”
Wow, OK, that’s a lot of spoilers. Honestly, we wished this didn’t exist but it does. At least the poster left a lot unsaid. There’s so much going on, but in the end it doesn’t sound like we get any major White Walker or alliance invasions of Westeros this season. With only 13 episodes allegedly left after Season 6, there’s a lot to cover in the final two seasons.
Oh, and this is a last bit a good news about these Game of Thrones Season 6 spoilers “Dorne will not be shown again until the finale.” Yay, no more Dorne… for now.
