    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    getting back to stannis the mannis Stannis originally suspected, and told Jon Arryn, who investigated. they discovered the truth together, and that's when Jon decided to send his son Robert (Robin) to foster with Stannis on Dragonstone. In part because he wanted to get him away from his...

    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 got more mel pussy than Show Stannis and he still wasn't whipped. He makes 2 shadow babies with Mel in the book and only one on the TV show, and then he's begging for more mel pussy last season.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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...

    Ok so from the promo we see: Bran and Co traveling, seems like they get to the cave maybe. Tyrion with Crossbow walking to the shitter Jon meets with Mance Stannis's knight's arriving and routing the wildling army some kind of scene with Arya and Hound, and I swear it almost looks like...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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...

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    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...

    Silicon Valley

    They've already taken Transistors to the atomic level when they built one from a single phosphorus atom a few years back. The problem getting down to the atomic level with electronics is that single atoms work differently than molecules, and you need to keep them at like -200 degrees Celsius...

    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...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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.

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    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...

    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.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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...
