Dead Man Posting posted:As much as no one wants to hear it, I don't think they'll show his wolf's head sewn to his body in the HBO series. They sure as gently caress are going to be mentioning it, I think that was one of the more rage inducing moments finding out what they did to Robb's body so the TV watchers are gonna flip their poo poo regardless of whether they see it or not.

That's really how it should be. The best part of the aftermath of the Red Wedding was the uncertainty about what happened. Since the only thing the reader gets is people that weren't there repeating rumors about it, it took me a while to realize that the wolf's head on Robb's body wasn't just a crazy rumor.

I just finished the books for the first time and had a few questions. - Did I miss the importance of the prologue in A Feast for Crows? I can barely remember anything about it. - I got "spoiled" (twice) on something that never happened in the books. (spoiled incase this is something from future books) Casterly Rock got burned down by Dany and her dragons. Where did this come from? - In the TVIV thread they said that the new Genesis game spoiled something as well. Something about the 'epilogue to 4/prologue to 5'. Can someone tell me what it was?

It fills in a few details about the maesters and introduces a few characters who might be important in Sam's continuing storyline. Then at the end Pate get's killed by a guy who's description matches Jaqen's new face. Then at the end of Feast Sam meets Pate (we assume replaced by Jaqen) Brinstar Brew fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Jun 6, 2012 |

One of the loading screens in the game has details on how to bake a specific type of lamprey pie. The TVIV geniuses were mad because they didn't know lamprey pies featured in the story.

This thread doesn't use spoilers for anything other than preview chapters from the hypothesized book six. So yeah, Pate got killed by Jaqen.

We have no idea what the plot is beyond a few chapters in the never-to-be-released next book, and Dany's not even managed to get back to Meereen as far as we know, much less Westeros.

Since getting into this thread I've been refreshing my memory of all things ASOIAF, and I remember being frustrated by a lot of the events occurring in the later books. Stuff like Littlefinger's marriage-manipulations with Sansa. He went on a long explanation about how Sansa and her husband will rule the North and the Vale (assuming Robin is killed), effectively controlling 1/2 of Westeros... which is all very impressive, except for the fact that the Others are supposed to be storming the Wall and imminently about to gently caress everything over. It just kills the dramatic revelation. Of course, the Others have been "storming" at a snail's pace for the last 5 books, so even that threat is hard to take seriously.

I agree that the characters don't really believe in the Others, but the reader knows that this huge army is marching down to make all this maneuvering moot. Unless of course they're stopped at the Wall or Winterfell, with the help of Bran (somehow?) and sacrifice (probably) of Stannis, which might be what GRRM is aiming for since there really isn't much time for a series of wars. Night's Watch falls, frees Jon up to rule whatever is left of Westeros.

Sup Bad-Thread. Alfie Allen is all up in this B.Alfie Allen posted:You know, I asked him [GRRM] about who Jon Snow's real parents were, and he told me. I can't say who, but I can tell you that it involves a bit of a Luke Skywalker situation. It will all come to fruition eventually. The whole thing with all the fight over proper succession is partly inspired by the War of the Roses in the late 1400s, and back then, to ensure pedigree, the monarchies were kind of inbred. It's definitely hosed up, but it definitely happened back then, so that's why there's incest with the Targaryen line. It's toned down, though. So, Alfie dropping spoiler bombs on bitches. Jon and Dany are gonna make a dead dragon-baby.

While I'm ranting, the other thing series would be better without: children. Dany is boring partly because she's a stupid kid/teenager. Sansa's, Bran's and Arya's chapters were also boring in my opinion. I get it that many people like their chapters, but I can't think about a book that's better because it has children in it. Well, with the exception of Lord of the Flies. Which means there's still hope for Rickon!

I just didn't find her interesting. Well, that was interesting when the dragon skulls, Harrenhal and the Faceless Man boot camp were shown, so there was cool stuff in her chapters. But Arya herself is boring.

I'm re-reading ASOS at the moment and I realised we arn't going to see 'Jamie Lannister sends his regards', because Roose never met Jamie at Harrenhal. Though this could possibly be changed to 'Tywin Lannister sends his regards' Also there probably isn't gunna be any bear vs Brienne because I'm assuming doing a fight scene with a bear would be way more trouble than its worth.

They could just have Brienne in a pit with a man wearing a bear hide. They could be re-enacting The Bear and the Maiden Fair. Bonus points if the man is a convicted rapist.

Though this could possibly be changed to 'Tywin Lannister sends his regards' I haven't seen the last episode yet but I'm a bit confused about how both Boltons will be handled. From what I hear, Ramsay doesn't set fire to Winterfell, but Theon's men do it as they retreat, right? And Rodrik's army was already beaten (and he was dead) before Ramsay arrived at the scene. Additionally, there are no Roose-in-Harrenhal scenes like you mentioned. All of this sort of gives me the impression that the Boltons, in the show, will be portrayed as "good guys" right up until the moment when Roose shows up and kills Robb. In the books, at this point, you already knew Ramsay was psychotic and Roose was sort of a cruel weirdo.

Additionally, there are no Roose-in-Harrenhal scenes like you mentioned. They just skipped all the Ramsay/Reek scenes, at the end Theon makes a speech as the castle is surrounded by Ramsay's troops, gets knocked out by his own men (who intend to sell him to the Bastard in exchange for passage) and then we skip to the kids coming out of the caves, finding Winterfell burning and meeting the Maester, who tells them to run north before "they're back". In other words, it is presented in a very contrived way because HBO decided to leave the casting of the Bastard of Bolton for another season.

Thanks for the summary  edit: misread some stuff. I guess that implies Ramsay's the one who torched Winterfell, without spelling it out, which makes me wonder what their plans are for Roose and how long he'll stick with Robb.

I seem to remember when Measter Luwin dies in the books that he whispered something to Asha. I assumed that there was some integral bit of information that he had been entrusted with that he needed to make sure got passed on. They didn't show that in the TV series. I wonder if it wasn't actually important?
