A Song of Ice & Fire by George R.R. Martin: Book Discussion Thread

[no.]

Show Theon will never get the same love as book Theon

Book!Theon has got some drive to stop being Reek and go back to being Theon.

Show!Theon is just a soulless crushed vermin You get the feeling he's gonna die as Reek

Tyene straight up pulled an Arianne move on the show tonight. I'm not even upset that Arianne isn't on the show now

I'm still upset The whole Doran/Arianne relationship was a cool little subplot bc Arianne had political power.

Now the Sand Snakes are b*stards... they can fight (terribly), poison people or seduce them, but they don't got influence to be launching political conspiracies.

Plus Arianne as heir to Sunspear >>>>>>> boring ass Trystane making eyes at Myrcella

-jon stabbed Episode 8.

I guess it will explain his stabbing at hardhome?

Not happening:

S05E09 "The Dance of Dragons"
Jon returns to the Wall; Arya runs into someone from her past; Mace visits the Iron Bank; Stannis faces a difficult decision; Daenerys oversees a celebration of athleticism.

He's not in this season, we were told months ago



Extras on the set of the penance walk already confirmed she used a body double and nipple pasties during filming. But I guess that doesn't necessarily mean that they didn't sneak a different nude shot in for an interior scene or something

Dam she's not bout it bout it

 

[Chris Cool]

sansas ain't even been in winterfell that long, it's way too early for reek to be breaking her


if jon is coming back to the wall.... Ollie gonna stab him.

 

[The Watcher]

I think its meant to be a nod to his character, just an easter egg for book readers

Saw one dude call him Brong Stelwas

shows credit for benjen stark being in episode 10 of this season, guess this means benjen really isn't dead and we can expect him to return to the story in TWOW.

edit: imdb has been wrong before so take this with a grain of salt.

Thought it might draw parallels with Robb caging grey wind at the twins

But unless it's a jumping off point for us to see Jon becoming a stronger warg, it was a lazy way to rescue Sam and gilly

For 1, this sh1t is obviously not canon, and Not sure how much I trust D&D to properly make decisions like this, and 2, I'm sure if the one true king has to do something, all the true believers will find some way to come to terms with it, as he is just and dutiful, and we must remain the same

There's nothing just and dutiful about putting your own innocent daughter to the torch. If Stannis does that it's bushes status for him and his fukk ass stans

 

[Chris Cool]

i can't see Davos letting him do that shyt though.

those episode guides can be deceiving. it could just be referring to his body being returned to the Wall.

Aight brehs i haven't watched single ep from this season for a few reasons:
1. HBO's shock nudity/sex scene gimmick is annoying as hell to me
2. Dope characters being written out/absorbed by another character, add that to half my favorites already being dead...... :smhcraig:
3. The show "seemingly" making pointless changes to events/decisions that were perfectly fine (sansa really in winterfell with ramsay right now tho )
4. ^^^^This leading to possible spoilers for book brehs
5. Even tho i haven't watched a single episode, something is telling me this season isn't as epic/swagged out as last season just based on where the plot's at right now and the characters involved this was prolly the hardest section for me to read through(Cersei/Dany/Sam :sleep: ) so i can only imagine seeing it on screen
6. I aint heard or seen a single metion of my Iron Island goons they kept the book story gully during it's dry points, im tryna see my nikkas thrive in HD










7. i genuinely enjoy the book more




but if GRRM's gonna be a fukkboi and be goin out to clubs and shyt may as well watch the show to pass the time



am i gonna be disappointed in this season brehs?

and @Adam3000 if you're going to respond to this post, keep it BRIEF nikka i aint tryna read an essay, a simple ya or nay will do
