There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I like the idea of Roose as being just a vaguely exasperated propane flaying-booth salesman, dang it.

Reason C. Should have tipped more people off before getting too excited about Oberyn. It's poor narrative convention to have a character encounter the same challenge and overcome it in the same way.

It's also poor narrative convention to write 2 books where nothing happens, but here we are

He just got pissed at the Red Wedding pretty bad. He said if the Hound dies he doesn't care anymore.

He constantly asks me and I tell him to just wait because I have been waiting to find out the story too now that they have practically caught up.

My favorite part was Varys killing fools like god drat. Also Cersei getting hosed over was way overdue. Also Victarion is slowly creeping up the list as one of the best characters. Can't wait to see how they cast him, Euron and Aeron.

They'll skip the Victarion plot. Strong emphasis on Quentyn and darkstar.

To me she's irredeemable. Jaime was able to be redeemed because he wasn't fully evil and also really turned a cheek in the mid-point of the story. He always stuck up Tyrion and saved an entire city from utter destruction only to be know as Kingslayer the rest of his life for doing it. There's more, but Cersei doesn't really have any redeemable qualities other than loving her children. She's done too many really twisted things for me to start feeling bad for her.

redreader posted:

I think you're joking but there's no way they can omit Victarion. He's a point of view character and they haven't skipped any of those yet as far as I recall.

Seriously hoping the show doesn't skip Victarion, if only so I can watch a man in full plate raiding boats and wrecking crew.

In feast there are a whole mess of POV characters since some of them are one chapter, I think Aeron is unlikely to appear even if Victarion does.

That's true, I guess I mean recurring POV's. It's unknown how important Aeron may be in the grand scheme of things but we will probably know if he doesn't get cast at all next season since the showrunners know how it all ends and the general path to that at this point.

Victarion, on the other hand, has what looks like a pretty drat important quest and has had multiple POV chapters. We also know that Book 6 has more Victarion in it as well with his surprise attack on the cities in Slavers Bay. Just seems too important (and bad rear end) to get rid of.

I hope you're right, he's great. If they didn't do the 3 leeches scene then I'd think they might just keep Balon alive, but they can't really do that. The only other real candidate for going on the mission is Asha, and that breaks the whole getting married part, so hopefully Victarion is in.

In short Euron = Daario and that's known to the viewer so poo poo's gotta change.

I guess I need to re-read the books. I thought Victarion (the whole ironborn plot, really) was lame. And that definitely seems to be in the minority.

She doesn't even have THAT. My first readings of Feast/Dance had me having my own sympathy, but when it was pointed out that I'd misread the flashback prophecy scene and that Cersei had murdered her own best friend as a child, it vanished. At first I thought she was the shining example of Westeros' absolutely hideous degree of misogyny producing a monster, but no: She's an amoral, narcissistic sociopath who only sees other people as objects and tools for her to get more power. Why do you think she seized onto Tyrion so hard as her son's killer? She's projecting, big time.

Really, I think the timeline disproves it, but I really love the theory that Tywin and the mad king had their initial falling out because Aegon claimed Lord's rights and raped Tywin's wife, and the end result was Cersei and Jaime, and when Tywin actually had a child, it was Tyrion. It says so much about surface judgments and what lies within, and how Tywin, for all his supposed strength and skill, immediately folded like a cheap accordion when confronted with one of life's truest and harshest challenges.

The way I see it, in one of these last 3 episodes Asha will go back to the Iron Isles now that she wasn't able to get Theon to escape. I initially didn't like that scene in the show but it makes a lot of sense after I read the chapter where Theon finally gets back to Asha and says he remembers who he is now.

Anyways, after Asha hears her father is dead upon her return they'll probably talk about needing to get a new king and leave it there for the next season to pick up with kingsmoot stuff.

Instead of her going aaall the way back, I think I prefer that theory that has her ship getting sunk and her captured by Stannis right now, and so maybe Stannis tells her next season that her dad's dead and his brother made himself king.
