Ballz posted:The wight attack will be against Bran and Co. before they're saved by It certainly sounds like they're listing some pretty substantial work so it might just be the highlights rather than every instance of makeup/prostheses in the episode. just trying to think of any prosthetic/makeup jobs we know will be in the episode but which aren't listed, other than Tyrions very minor facial scarring which wouldn't warrant a mention I can't think of any since there's no indication that Shireen will be in the ep or anyone else who always has prostheses. If there's no Stoneheart though that's a massive dick move on Lena's part with the twitter pic

3Romeo posted:I don't think it'd be a bad thing if they do. It'd give season five's Wall story a pretty good arc. Start with Jon turning down Stannis and becoming Lord Commander, spend fifteen minutes every couple of episodes dealing with the Wildlings and letting them settle The Gift, end the season with Jon getting shanked and, hopefully, the Battle of Winterfell. Going along with this the one "Dance" storyline I'm sure will be in the next season is everything that's going on in the North. Not just Jon and Stannis' storylines but also Theon, Ramsay, and Davos. This season has mostly been about the Lannisters in King's Landing, but next season is going to be "The North Remembers"*. I am so looking forward to Davo's storyline in particular; I want to see Frey pies and loving Manderly cracking jokes. *I'm also positive that Stoneheart will be one of the last shots on Sunday. Everyone wants some comeuppance for the Starks - Stoneheart is going to get everyone FIRED UP for season 5, and is a fitting lead-in to "The North Remembers."

I would also think that they would be careful not to spoil a major finale surprise by including what will probably look like a generic zombie make-up amongst things like elf children and a man who is a tree.

The tree guy makeup is a big spoiler in my book and it is on there. I am sure the makeup for the cut after she's been rotting in the river a long time would be more dramatic than for after it just happened. The thread's Stoneheart obsession is one of those things I don't get. (And in general why people focus more on the fantasy elements/prophecies which seem less interesting than the human drama.) The surprise I am most looking forward to in this week's episode is Tyrion's escape and killing of Tywin / Shae, but I guess the difference is something we will see for certain next week and Stoneheart is up in the air.

asvodel posted:The surprise I am most looking forward to in this week's episode is Tyrion's escape and killing of Tywin / Shae, but I guess the difference is something we will see for certain next week and Stoneheart is up in the air. That really is it, to be honest. For me at least. If they cut Stoneheart, I and many others will be pretty angry. If they cut Tyrion killing Shae and Tywin, people would be rallying together to burn D&D's houses down. There is no concern over stuff we know won't get cut. Stannis attacking the wildlings is in. Tyrion's awesome ASOS finale is in. Bran meeting Bloodraven is in. These are all cool things, but since we know 100% that they are in, they don't need to be fretted over beyond "I hope they do it well". And there isn't much reason to worry about that, to be honest. The Tyrion stuff, with quality actors like Peter Dinklage and Charles Dance, will be awesome even if a line or two gets changed or removed. There isn't much reason to talk much about it, at least until it actually happens. I'm pretty sure that the Tyrion-Tywin scene is more anticipated than Stoneheart. It's just that of these two shock moments in the final chapters of ASOS, one of them looks like it could possibly be missing from the show. Considering how kickass those last chapters were... having all of that "holy poo poo" at the end, the idea of losing part of that is rather depressing. And that epilogue chapter was one of the best moments in the book. Besides, Freys need to be loving hung in order to satisfy the sadistic glee I have for revenge. e: Also, one of the major elements of this season has been the unraveling of the "victors" of the war, which is only going to get worse in Season 5. The Lannisters are being torn apart, and losing Tywin sets the stage for Cersei to start completely loving things up. The Boltons seem fine, but now that the North is "theirs", they will find that it really isn't stable at all with Stannis at the wall and people like Wyman Manderly plotting their ruin. All that's missing is the Freys, and their ruin begins with Stoneheart and the BwB hunting them down. So... we kinda need that.

Lycus posted:I don't know why you're calling it an "obsession". But basically, people think having a visual "Holy crap!" moment to close out a season works well. Season 3 was missing one, and the ending wasn't great. Revealing Stoneheart seems like a good candidate to a lot of people. The reveal of Brynden can also work, however. Stoneheart would be a total holy poo poo and ending on a 'Starks are back!' note - even if that isn't the avenue the story takes. It would be the perfect end to a great season. I just can't wait to drink the salty tears of wrongness from the naysayers - Lena wouldn't let us down.

Stoneheart was hooded and had to grasp her throat to speak. They don't need a of of makeup for that. Dye her hair, paint her up grey and have her hooded in a blood stained blue cloak. It doesn't need major prosthetics which is what was mentioned. I think the eipsode will work fine with the 56 minutes they have really it will probably need a good twenty minutes for tyrion, stannis and John. To do their thing. Give ten to the others to do their thing and you're pretty much home. Lord commander vote doesn't need to be till next season ep 1 anyway. Stoneheart reveal is a five minute scene to do it really well. Like last year when Arya killed a Frey it started with Freys round a fire. Have three or four on horseback, they hear some dude singing, arrows take out two of them, third gets dragged off his horse. Starts begging for help gets put in a noose reveal, hang, roll credits. You guys sperg to hard about how much time stuff will take to show. Without 20 pages of inner "mayhaps, mine nuncle likes people to whisper words of wind in his ear before he sups on a fat pink mast" and "where do whores go" cuts down on what needs to be seen to be effective narratively.

I've thoroughly enjoyed this season so far, the only thing that really sticks out in my mind as being "disliked" was the Asha/Yara failed rescue attempt. I understand the reasons behind it all (Theon is dead, long live Reek) It just didn't come off very well and it made the Iron born look like inept pussies (Throw a loving axe at the oval office with no friggin armor FFS!) Also I know its a silly thing to think about really, but I hope next season in the opening sequence Winterfell gets semi-fixed and starts displaying the Bolton banner.

I don't think they'll bring up Tysha as a reason for Tyrion to kill his dad because a lot of show watchers have forgotten who that even is at this point. Somehow Tyrion will probably catch Tywin loving Shae or something and get pissed about that. Also, I'm fairly confident Stoneheart is in it. I just don't see a more exciting way to end the season and the second I read about it in the book I thought about how cool of a season finale that would be. Would be criminal to leave her out.

thehacker0 posted:Alright, I usually don't catch the previews since I use HBO go. I am guessing, if that is the case, that it will be somewhat brief and not nearly as involved as last weeks battle. I too think it makes sense that they include his arrival this season, but my hopes were somewhat eroded based on the scope of sundays battle Stannis's arrival in the books isn't a huge battle anyway. It's basically just a bunch of heavy cavalry showing up and running over the disorganized wildlings, who almost immediately break and flee.

This has been the Lannister season, but I also very much anticipate seeing the Starks on the rise. And Stoneheart is a part of that (yeah, yeah, tortured existence and all, I get that; still, she gets the job done). In my mind, they are a paired thing. In the first episode, Tywin was on the rise and destroying the last traces of the Starks (Ice). Now, Tywin dies, together with the Lannister power, while the Starks are ascendant. On that note, I have really appreciated how, throughout the season, Tywin had attempted to resolve the Jaime/no heirs situation. Using Tyrion's trial for that, for one thing.
