No, in the book Rattleshirt died screaming "I'm not Mance! It's a trick!" In the show, Mance gave a speech about dying honorably and then went quietly to his own horribly painful death. Why the gently caress would Rattleshirt, or anyone else, do that?

Ahh I forgot that part, I guess I only remember the broad strokes of adwd.

It played the way they've written for Tormund. All that dumb bullshit with 'take her north it's where she belongs' matches up to the very last lines. The prison scene was still Mance.

General Bullshit › GoT Thread: Arya Goes blind, Bran becomes a tree, Catelyn is a zombie, Jon dies

Guys we're slipping. They also have the Dany poo poo scene in the OP, probably because they couldn't fit it in the title.

It'll be funny when none of those things happen in the show and the show is better for it.

Just finished the 2nd episode. So they uh, they really just completely copy+pasted Robb Stark's thing with the Karstark's with Danaerys didn't they? Thats...thats really weird.

Jaime deciding to go to Dorne felt like a videogame mission briefing or something. I'll second people saying everything feels pushed to the extremes and parodies of themselves. Any pretense of subtlety is gone. All the interactions are...weird and hollow and lack engagement? Especially the Dorne stuff.

I like that Winterfell has the Bolton sigil on it. I...like that Bronn is in it.

Maybe I'm just overly optimistic to see Ciaran Hinds come back but after watching that last scene 2-3 times I've managed to convince myself it could still be the same bait and switch from the books and we'll see de-glamoured Mance sneaking into Winterfell just in time to gently caress something up with LF's plan.

Weren't there spearwives in the scene when Sansa first comes to Winterfell? Like, it was a very quick shot, but there were literal chicks with spears.

The ladies at the end of that Sansa scene didn't have spears but were definitely not extras, so that's what I was thinking, too.

Ahahaha I found a site, that had the four leaked episodes. And all the spoilers are true. Barristan Selmy's death is extremely silly, though he goes down like a boss. Melisandra tops off her boobs by also saying "you know nothing Jon Snow". The Mereen plot seems to be moving really fast, which is nice and they seem to have cut out Aegon, so either he is not important at all or they will introduce him in another way, possibly next season. As by episode 4, nothing regarding the Iron islands have happened.

Nice . Now I can start a fake spoiler that Melisandre = Ygritte now.

Both redheads, both tell Jon Snow he knows nothing. Both showed Jon their boobs.

It is known!

I'm pretty sure they're just the show equivalent of Ramsay's Girls™. The brunette the camera focuses on is the one who helped castrate Theon and then went hunting another girl with Ramsay, so I'm guessing there'll be a jealousy/murder attempt sideplot there the way she was looking at Sansa.

I really enjoyed the season 2 premiere of Silicon Valley! GoT was ok I guess. Excited to see tyrion just get hosed up and complain the whole time. Can't tell how I feel about the leak spoilers yet but I guess the future is poo poo (as previously mentioned above).

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

That's so depressing. Siddig is a really good actor, far better than this show deserves. He must really have gotten screwed on alimony.

I always pictured Doran Martell as a fat gently caress thanks to being immobile with gout and a really lovely scraggly grey beard.

Basically, GRRM should be Doran.

I laughed when Melisandre dropped the "you know nothing!" line.

It's pretty mediocre even if I wasn't paying a lot of attention, think I'll stick to reading episode summaries until people are raving about another Hound Vs Brienne fight.

I figured this as well. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I don't remember him being described as handsome or anything positive either. Especially since he always had Areo carting him around so he sounded too lazy to move his wheelchair himself. Maybe medieval ones are really crapy though?

Yeah, I've said it before itt that if any character is the Grrm self-insert it's Doran: fat, lazy, always eating & thinking about sloppy foods and making a mess of himself, people want one thing out of him that he keeps lying to them and procrastinating about, and the whole kiddie pool pedo-porch thing.
