I'm surethesehave been posted before but i don't feel like reading this entire thread. It's a collection of essays that analyze the plots of ADWD. Specifically it compares Dany's plot arc to Jon's, how they are basically the same, they are similar characters with similar morals facing...

Sorry to interject here. Unsullied are so highly prized because of their discipline, not their strength. I think they did a good job on casting, they are all very lithe, lacking pure muscle mass you'd expect from someone who does physical training every day of their lives from the time they...

Dany has missed quite a few episodes. in 4 seasons she is listed as appearing in 31 episodes. Cersei is listed for 34 episodes. Jon Snow for 32. Game of Thrones (TV Series 2011- ) - Full Cast & Crew - IMDb Dinklage leads at 37

We'll learn what bran's role will be as soon as the next theon chapter comes out (ie probably when Winds of Winter gets released). Last we saw of Bran he's speaking through the messenger Raven's telling Stannis to bring Theon out to the Weirwood tree.

at first I disliked the detour they took the last 2 episodes but now i'm fine with it. On one hand it does just what Mist mentioned, setting up jon to be chosen as the next LC On the other hand, since it's becoming obvious* that Cold Hands has been cut, the battle with the wights just...

except they only went digging for the horn as a means to escape the other's who had already arisen. The only way Mance was even able to assemble the wildlings under his banner was because of the threat of the Others. The first scene with a white walker and wights is the GoT Prologue. The...

yep. but it's not like he's had a reason to warg into a hundred different wights. But when the need arises sure, "cold hands" is just whatever walking corpse he possesses that's nearest to his objective.

been a minute since i read bran's parts, so i'm sure someone who analyzes it will come correct me, but here's my theory on Cold hands: He's just a wight. There's nothing special about him at all. He's not some famous or even named person. random dead ranger #43. he himself has non...

Every time they start with the caw cawing of all the crows I'm like "oh cool, finally they are going to reveal cold hands", but nope. This time it was just Ghost. Also, Cold Hands is most certainly NOT benjen Stark so not sure how that is related.

i suck at embedding stuff. This is old news, but just goes to show how real the wire was.

bad writing is bad writing. again this show needs less talking and more fighting.

George R.R. Martin | Talks at Google - YouTube it's an hour of GRRM talking about the show and his involvement, answering questions. For basically a direct quote of what I posted, Skip to the 32:30 minute mark. He uses the same example, aliens coming down to westeros.

You realize GRRM has no veto power on the show, right? Next episode they could have aliens come down to westeros and start anal probing and there is fuck all that GRRM can do about it. He's contractually obligated to write 1 episode per season so they'd tell him what needs to happen in the...

What reputation was that? You give him too much credit. He lost it all already on Vanguard. He was already at the point that no Investor/publisher in their right mind was going to give him any money, hence the KS to fleece the minute handful of willfully ignorant fanboys he still had. But he...

Well tbh I can really only think of 2 major hiccups as far as the story telling is concerned. Obviously they've changed tons of stuff from the books, but the TV show itself has been internally consistent, except: 1: The jaime cersei "I didn't think that was rape" scene above, which the...

so when the Showrunners fuck up the story so badly, you get things like this: The director of that episode said that he believed that what he filmed, was consensual sex by the end. Obviously the people who watch TV or know the definition of rape disagreed because it's been nothing but "omg...

When Peter isn't going all "creepy uncle" with Sansha literally everything he tells her is true. He is grooming her. I'm not sure yet if he's decided if he wants to fuck her or keep her as his "daughter" but she is his protege. The fact Sansa knows everything, that baelish is responsible for...

there were "joffrey theories"? When Peter Baelish explains what happens in the novel, it's unreliable narrator, omg he's lying even though not really omg, etc When Peter Baelish explains what happens in the TV show, nearly word for word the same, it's all good, we finally believe him?

Uh the taking of mereen was basically a 1 paragraph recap after she sent Barristan and Jorah through the sewers. They didn't cut shit out, there wasn't shit to cut. Thing is, they basically kinda merged the method in which she took mereen with the way they took Yunkai last season, probably...

So about half the book readers are screaming "omg spoilers" (GRRM did say WoW would take us further north than we've ever been) and the other half are dismissing basically every major deviation as "most expensive fan-fic ever made." i'm firmly in the "it's an adaptation, which will end before...

hbo has changed the synopsis from Night's King to "White Walker"

rofl. all Pantheon proved was that a shit KS ran by a drug addict was able to scam 150k from less than a thousand gullible suckers. His only claim to fame was being involved in the completely accidental success of a video game 15 years ago, having burned all his industry bridges with his...

*shrug* it's basically a given, to me. idk maybe i'm remembering wrong but I could of sworn that grrm confirmed that oberyn had poisoned tywin and he was going to die anyway. Of the mountain of foreshadowing, references, and coincidences that support oberyn poisoned him the clearest to me is...

this show is trying to do the political intrigue that other shows do well and it's just failing. Less talking more fighting please.

wait what. and you people have problem with the Oberyn poisoned Tywin "theory" which i'm pretty sure GRRM already confirmed a long time ago at a con or something (saw some youtube video with him pretty much stating this was a fact). Ok there's passages that hint that Aerys may have lusted...

IIRC Tyrion decided half way through the trial that it was clearly going against him and demanded a trial by combat. Knowing that cersei would choose the mountain as her champion, Oberyn volunteered to by Tyrion's champion. By this point he had already accomplished his mission of poisoning...

Lannisters? Which lannisters are those? The only lannister's left to hate (cersei) has her complete downfall paraded about you in book 4 and it has nothing to do with LS. LS exists solely as vengeance against the Frey's, and basically dissolves the bwob and what it stood for to achieve it...

double post wtf

yeah except no. The time to show all of that would have been throughout season 2 and 3 while they were fighting throughout the riverlands. Their reason for excluding it is reasonable. They were forced to recast the mountain at the last minute and the guy they got to replace the mountain...

with ~2500 pages left to adapt into about 10-14 hour long episodes I don't see why anyone would choose to add pointless fluff to justify bookreader lipservice by adding a minor character.

Since they filmed this season of GoT last summer I don't think her current filming schedule matters much. If anything, if she wraps up shooting of 24 within a few months, and they do decide to include her, she can film her 1 episode for next season in a few months when they start filming season...

So how many storylines can they wrap up book 3 on and start on 4/5? The more 4/5 stuff they can start this season the less rushed (or less cut) next season will seem as they've got a lot of written words to convert into season 5 (books 4/5). Bran's story being completely isolated they can...

entirely possible that Oyrs the First was a king in the TV series, since it's an adaptation of the books with many, many changes and not a literal translation.

I feel that episode is just a build up episode for manmade global warming or some other highly politicized, scientifically shaky topic.

While I like to read this thread I try to stay out of it as much as possible. You may consider this pussy shit but it's a story about the publication of the books, not the actual stories contained within them so hopefully it will clear up the matter. The current season being aired is the...

dipshit? lol fgt. I stated lady stoneheart wasn't essential plot wise. She isn't. You claimed I hadn't read the books because I said she doesn't have any POV chapters, you were obviously mistaken, and I accept this post as a further apology on your behalf for your ignorance.

I'll take that as your apology and recognition that you did not read the books.
