Intel&Sebastian posted:Michelle Rodriguez should be one of the sand snakes. The fiesty one who is also a cop. But then she'll get written out abruptly for tearing rear end around Morocco in a Jeep while plastered on cheap liquor. Wait, if Harold Parrineau gets to appear so he can kill her off, this is acceptable.

Speedy Gonzales should be Oberyn. Doran can be George Lopez. Arianne is Jessica Alba and Quentyn is salsa barbeque.

I actually really like Danny Trejo and Michelle Rodriguez. I am attracted to both sexually and think they are good at acting in schlock such as GOT.

So, since this is now a subject, was I the only one here who immediately thought Theon was black when the book describes him as a 'dark-skinned youth'? The first time I read ACoK and GoT, the entire time I pictured the Greyjoys and people on the Iron Islands as black vikings. Then I looked up fanart and immediately felt stupid. (Bear in mind this was when I was a dumb high-school kid.) edit: VVVV I also thought that at first incidentally. Contra Calculus fucked around with this message at 00:29 on May 10, 2013 |

So here's a fantastic thing for you fans of hard data out there. http://www.jeromecukier.net/projects/agot/events.html The best part is if you set the slider to before AFFC, you can see exactly how much doesn't happen in the last 2 books.

She wasn't even around long enough for me to find her annoying (she was around for like... not even half a book?) Maybe people just really hate gingers or something and that's why Cat, Sansa, and Ygritte are disliked.

Yeah, Ygritte just kinda came and went.  And then when she and Jon are about to be re-united she get's loving penetrated by most of the MiB and it's frankly kinda gross. There's nothing wrong with her as a fictional person it's just that GORM used her as a way of telling Jon he was a dumbshit like she was a plot device or something. She should have just repeated (several dozen times) "Is your bloody honor worth dying for Jon Snow?" but it's just not as catchy.

I imagine Jon Connington as a jaded Charles Barkley and Young Griff/Aegon as Hoopz, who will come to King's Landing, see nothing worth saving and reach into his arsenal of verboten jams and throw down a monster Chaos Dunk, destroying the corrupt city once and for all. Who needs dragons when you have the power of b-ball on your side?

cheetah7071 posted:But because of Tolkien, all fantasy must use British English of some variety or other. Everyone falling into the same umbrella of "British accents that Americans can still understand" is enough of a stretch that any other complaints pale in comparison. How is Tolkien responsible for this when he's actually invented languages for his different fantasy peoples?

mind the walrus posted:The gently caress is wrong with being ginger? Nothing if you're a dude (Robb, Griff). Then you're a sexy devil that bookreaders are totes gay for. But if you're a woman with red hair, you're literally Hitler2 (Catelyn, Ygritte, Sansa). Also, the show has only three episodes to make TVIV care about Robb. I'm sensing that the red wedding will have zero impact on show watchers because we've spent all our "Robb is a legit contender" time on Theon and non-book scenes like Ros, or Varys capturing his former sorceror/slaver.

General Bort posted:Aegon was definitely his plan at least since Kings Landing got sacked. Dany and Viserys were supposed to distract from him but also to provide him with Dothraki riders when Westeros is hosed enough. But of course then Viserys and Drogo got killed and the Plan had to change. The Golden Company actually complains about it in one of Griffs chapters. I assume Dorne made a deal with Illirio right? I guess Ill and Vary aren't as tight as I thought. I thought they were on team Merman together?! Joramun posted:Same goes for Margaery and her significantly expanded presence and prominence on the show compared to the books. Since the Gurm gave the showrunners outlines of what's going to happen in the last two books, she could well be one of endgame's main players and threats despite her position currently seeming kind of neutered as of the end of ADWD. But we know how easily things like that can turn around again. I'm actually hoping that is the conclusion grrm goes for. He can't wrap everything up, and I think it would make him money hand over fist in the long run. I'm trying to think of a book that does that... maybe the dune stuff? its like - welp! poo poo is hosed up but at least we got some golden path going on here! That isn't really what I mean, but if anyone can make some suggestions of books that end that way, that would be awesome. Sort of like "The Wire". The game just keeps going on yo. Made me think of this episode of Aeon Flux. Sorry for the link - you ahve to watch all kinds of lovely ads to see it: http://liquidtelevision.com/video/aeon-flux-short-war/ Chinston Wurchill posted:The size mismatch joke with him having trouble pulling over her hood or veil or whatever is made-for-TV. yeah it will. they will probably do it, and itll be good. just feels like a bit of a waste of time plotwise.

I keep not posting in the other thread because, gently caress it, but they have been arguing for three pages about what the greyjoy words mean. They live on lovely barren rocks and they literally can't grow wheat. You can take them as a declaration of viking intent or a sour grapes "who wants to till the loving soil anyway" gripe, or even a charlie brown-esque "I guess we just suck at agriculture" resignation but why is this argument still going on.

General Bort posted:Were they pissed of about Lady? I can't remember. Lady's head wasn't mounted on Sansa's corpse. But anyway, I'd argue show viewers are more invested in Robb than book readers because they actually get some Robb that isn't Catelyn's point of view, and also there's a significant chunk that thinks he's dreamy.
