I could understand having a contextual issue with Night's King's appearance if he had never been mentioned on the show before. I don't recall anyone talking about him.

Can we ban super touch from this thread? He thinks jojen warged into a the ice baby and needs every character introduced with a long narrative apparently.

Should they talk about every character before we see them? The "Night's King" name was released in error on HBO's website, so contextually, wedon'tknow who he is. That doesn't really have any bearing on whether or not the scene was good, in my opinion.

Indeed, I think the bravvos + coin + saying the phrase is the means, not just the phrase itself.

Take this benjamin down to the ghetto and speak the words, "I wants to get hiiiiigh", and you shall find your way to crack.
I took it as a passcode myself at first, but once they started saying it more in the show it's more like. Oh, it's just a somewhat common saying. But the faceless men are centered in bravos... so basically anyone you meet around there is going to know the places that any sane man with a face -avoids-, so you'll get pointed generally in the right direction. And the faceless men will hear about a dumb-fuck foreigner asking questions. They'll find you.

That's where GRRM, the penultimate troll, hurts every butt he can get his hands on. Book reader butts, show watching butts...GRRM is an equal opportunity penetrator of nerd asses.

I like that everyone of us pretty much wants to have book 6 in our hands as fast as fucking possible, but if things that will, possibly, be in that book are leaked into the show people get shitty. It's like you're waiting on a meal you know takes an hour to cook and some one offers you appetizers and you're like "FUCK! THIS ISN'T MY MEAL! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING?!?!" I hope GRRM show's a fourth dragon or some crazy shit before Winds of Winter comes out so the nerd butthurt hurricane will rage.
Also I'd put money on Coldhands rescuing Bran. He may not come and destroy the mutineers as we've seen Jon fighting them in the previews, but maybe they drag him to the wilderness to sacrifice him or something stupid and CH kills ol' nutsack face and some other douches. I don't see GRRM liking Jon and Bran meeting at this point. It's like "Hey Jon all your family is dead and MIA. Oh except here's one, but you're going to let him go wander into the upcoming war zone instead of protecting him. KK COOL!"

Hey, as long as the appetizer doesn't ruin the main course it's fine. It's more like a potential butt hurt for me. I won't know until I've read the next books (if ever) and by that point I probably won't give a shit anymore.
And that's a good idea for how to introduce Coldhands.

This season blows donkey dick, deviations all over the place cause it assumes the audience is a bunch of fucking morons - which they probably are.

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 episode he's given, and he'd write it. It could be "santa claus comes down from the lands of always winter with a machine gun and fights the aliens, Go" and he'd write the episode about that.

I don't know, I think he has more influence than all that. He might not be dictating exactly what is happening, reading and okaying every script or whatever, but these are all his hand-picked people creating this shit, and I think it is fair to assume that he is involved at least somewhat in the creative direction.
He sure as hell isn't involved in writing with any sort of speed.
