Game of Thrones season eight will bring the show to a close which will be a bittersweet moment.
Fans will be looking forward to seeing how it all ends, yet will mean they’re going to have to say goodbye to their favourite Game of Thrones characters.
Many fans, in preparation for the new and final season, have decided to delve back into the show’s past seasons.
Game of Thrones is a difficult show to keep track of, and a rewatch just before season eight airs will undoubtedly help to remind fans of what happened and who’s who.
However, fans often spot things they missed the first time around, and this can lead to new theories emerging, which is precisely what happened when one fan noticed something about Talisa Stark’s (played by Oona Chaplin) character.
She was married to Robb Stark (Richard Madden) after they met in the North.
She became pregnant with their child, yet she and Robb were brutally murdered during the harrowing Red Wedding scene.
Many people assumed that would be the end of Talisa’s story, which in many respects it was.
That said, one eagle-eyed fan has come up with a new theory to do with Talisa.
It was believed she was a healer, yet this fan has suggested she was actually a Red Priestess.
“Robb’s bride Talisa was actually a Red Priestess, sent to influence him if he actually became King,” wrote Infinite_Imagination on Reddit.
They continued: “I mostly think this because she was from Volantis, where the Red Temple is, and other Red Priests, like Thoros of Myr, have been given similar missions.
“Since both Robb and Talisa were both slain during the Red Wedding, I feel like even if this were true, it is now irrelevant.”
If Talisa were indeed a Red Priestess, it wouldn’t make much difference now since she was murdered.
That said, it would be nice to think there was a hidden side to her character which fans didn’t know about.
Meanwhile, Richard Madden was recently asked to rewatch that iconic Red Wedding scene during an interview with GQ.
When he finished watching this traumatic Game of Thrones scene, Madden revealed how he had to catch the very last plane to London after filming the sequence.
“And then, I rushed to get on the last flight back to London, and I remember being on this flight back to London and being covered in fake blood, exhausted and just sobbing very loudly on the plane,” he recounted.
“And people were looking at me quite strangled because it looked like I’d just murdered someone and got on a flight, which in fact I hadn’t. I’d been murdered,” he finished.
Game of Thrones season eight returns Spring 2019, and the prequel is expected to debut a year later in 2020.
