    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Except she doesn't decide to become a faceless man, she just walks off. When she reaches saltpans her first thought and question to the captain is can he take her to jon. Im not a book purist i regularly defend changes in the adaptation, the only thing i expect is for the show to remain...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah the tv adaptation really screwed up the dynamic of that scene and arya as a character at that point of her development. if they know that they aren't headed to gravedigger vs sir robert strong for cersei's trial by combat then they should of just had arya finish the hound off. I mean i...

    I disagree, but im on my cell in an airport so i won't try and quote text. Basically he says to jon i found mention of (commoner term for obsidian) then quotes from the reference, " the children used to give the watch obsidian."

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Neither peter dinklage nor charles dance were begging GRRM not to kill their characters off, they both know that there are at present, 5 books written, and Charles Dance knew that his character died at the end of the 3rd book (some fan spoiled it for him after he was cast to play Tywin. He...

    The records say obsidian, not dragonglass. dragonglass is just the common, modern day term for the substance known to the educated, maesters, and children of the forest as obsidian. The dragonsteel is the only mention of the word "dragon" revealed to us thus far in the old records of the NW...

    There is a massive difference between an actor not reading the books on which his scripts will be loosely based upon, and an actor not knowing that the goddamn books exist, already, long before said scripts are written. Bitch started pleading with GRRM to "not kill her character off" during...

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    There's so much wrong with that reddit post that it's hard to understand how anyone supports it. just off the top of my head without doing any sort of line by line book retorting: 1. There is no fire magic south of the wall at the time the wall was built (no targs, no dragons, no r'hllor...

    as mentioned, in the show he went north because the red woman told him that's where the true battle against the great other (ie the enemy of her red god, can't remember if she used the term great other) was going to be. EDIT: NO BOOK SPOILERS OR TALK, SPOILED OR NOT ~ Thank you.

    lol from that sibel interview: She really thinks that GRRM killed her character after GoT started. bitch that book was published in 2000. I remember in one of the GoT interview things someone asked George about killing characters and he mentioned a particular actress had asked him...

    Their eyes don't match, unless they have colored contact lens in Essos (and colored glass eyes) then they aren't the same person. Then again, it took Jorah months to recognize Barristan Selmy the mother fucking lord commander of the King's Guard because he grew out a beard. so it's possible.

    The PUSSY SHIT spoiler discussion thread

    To be fair he doesn't have a whole lot of storyline in book 5 anyway, only 3 chapters. 2 of which were shown this season. If they followed the books, he would have just been travelling north of the wall, very slowly, this season. It's just his company walking (except for bran of course...

    You mean Tysha. Talisa was a character they made up to be Robb's wife instead of Jeyne Westerling. Everyone I know who only watches the show and hasn't read the books loved that finale. The context for the TV version of the events was there and easy to understand, and in many ways makes...

    Varys disappears at the end of book 3 just as it was shown in the TV show and doesn't reappear until the god damn epilogue of Book 5. Having him go with Tyrion on the boat is the only thing that makes sense, so they can keep the actor employed for season 5. It's the same as theon in seasons...

    Arya doesn't magically disappear behind a rock. The show both showed and explained it, it requires no further explanation. But because you are slow i'll sum it up for you. Pod goes after Arya while Brienne and the hound fight. That is clearly shown. Arya, who has been practicing at being...

    That episode was awesome and I have no problem with the adaptation thus far. Book purist's sure are a bunch of whiny faggots. That was the greatest episode of GoT to date. Sorry you are butthurt and just now realizing after 4 seasons that a TV show is not a book and that the many, many, many...

    Some snobbish rebuttals and minor details that may not have been directly revealed in the show: 1. The wildling army that was camped directly beneath the wall, just out of arrow range? They had 100k dudes it's not like they were hiding. They had a lot of stuff to cram into that episode, not...

    So near the beginning of the Season I posted this. now that the season is completed lets see what I got right vs wrong: The last scene this season was Bran II, about 1/5 of the way through Dance. Bran only has 3 chapters total, ie 1 chapter of book material left to go. In it, he just talks to...

    From aninterviewfrom earlier this year with Alex Graves, one of the director's on Game of Thrones: Obviously referring to the battle at the Wall (ep 9 was the skirmish at Castle Black) but what do you think is going to be so VFX heavy? The thing about filming mounted combat on horseback is, you...

    Either of Old Age as Sterling said, some agent of Varys, or by Sansa's hand. I see LS having absolutely fuckall to do with his story, or anyone's story really. She hangs a few useless frey's and then gets her comeuppance by Jaime/Brienne, or perhaps Thoros of Myr finally ends her insanity.

    LS Stark revenge??? Against who, Brienne of fucking Tarth? her loyal servant? Against Jaime Lannister, a knight who kept his word to Catelyn? ya maybe in book 1 you'd want revenge against jaime but the last thing the reader wants is for that revenge, it ruins his book arc. The only...

    The character was written as a silver lining for the red wedding since GRRM had so much trouble writing that scene. If you're going to throw a bone to the fans, of all the people who could of been resurrected, Catelyn is like the worst possible choice. Didn't give a fuck about you in life all...

    uh what? There is literally no book knowledge in that post. Gamma Rays posted a question about a scene in the TV show and I posted a response about that scene in the TV show. I'm baffled how you could possibly misconstrue that. Unless of course you believe that my TV knowledge of an...

    Show stannis has said that speech almost word for word, but in a completely different context. Show stannis is kinda naive, completely Melisandre's pawn, and eagerly wants to be king cus it's his right. book stannis is just different, his lines are inbold. last stannis chapter before...

    Book stannis is awesome. The biggest difference between book and TV stannis is that book stannis is much closer aligned to Davos and his way of thinking than Melisandre. It's really Mel + Selyse vs Stannis + Davos. Of course stannis heeds her advice especially when her predictions come...

    exactly. a lot was made of hiding their true numbers this season. the foray to kill the mutineers, etc. not sure if you guys picked up on this: they dressed up a bunch of strawmen in Night's Watch cloaks and light torches for them, to give the appearance that they had way more numbers...

    In the books Stannis is screaming treason for Davo's freeing edric storm. Mel wants him for his king's blood to awaken the "dragons from the stone" since stannis just got news that the 3rd named king from the leeches has died (Joffrey). Davos retorts with a letter he'd received by a raven...

    Just watched this episode and I don't see him poking any holes in the rebuttals to anthromorphic climate change. He also blatantly lied when he said that the sun's energy output has been unchanged during the last few decades. The sun's output is constantly changing, and matches up far more...

    All the actors have 6 year contracts, with the option to extend the contract 1 additional year, which is where 7 seasons comes from. After the 7th season they must renegotiate all actor's contracts. Keep in mind they were all signed on for peanuts and the show still costs 60-80mil dollars per...

    Guys Chuk is obviously right. They added Braavos to the opening credits flyover exclusively for that single episode where they shot scenes with Stannis, Davos, and Saan. They will clearly waste their braavos budget and sideline Arya's story so they can find the perfect river to film 19...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    You mean for 1 season, since Season 5 is the last 2 books. There is enough stuff left for 1 season, given that they'll continue to add plenty of stuff into the LF/Sansa storyline because they treat LF like a main POV character instead of the behind the scenes secret evil plotter guy.
