Mike N Eich posted:If Littlefinger has confidence in Sansa's abilities this makes a lot of sense. Have her reveal herself to all the Lords in the North at Ramsay's wedding and completely pull the rug under the Bolton's claim. If she isn't recognized on sight though, what can she use to prove her parentage? She doesn't have a direwolf anymore. (Oh poo poo, maybe that's Theon's role, he's the only one that could recognize and verify her) Another possibility is that she goes there with this plan, but the plan goes awry and she has to get out of Dodge, and Theon helps her. Having something go according to the hero's plan wouldn't be very Game of Thrones-y, I think. Lycus fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Mar 10, 2015 |

My only problem with Sansa replacing Wyman is then a Stark is avenging the Starks. It was nice to have "The North remembers" be a sign that the Frey's and Bolton's had more enemies than it seemed.

But for the purposes of the show, it's better to have an existing character do something important than a brand new character.

True, but a non-Stark character would have been ideal in my eyes. The Blackfish just occurred to me as an amazing possibility, but maybe that's just because I miss him so.

So, I've been very worried about this season given the major departures they are doing from the books, but that latest trailer just looked absolutely phenomenal. I'm down for whatever they give to us this season. And honestly, books 4 and 5 were bloated. Martin's editors aren't telling him no anymore. If the producers know the end game and think they can trim where they think they can, fine by me. The show has been fantastic since the beginning, I don't think that is going to stop all of a sudden.

I can't see a point to Sansa being in Winterfell, unless she's fake arya, but that would be kind of dumb too, because the whole idea from the books is to keep her safe until Robin/Robert can be killed so she can marry Harry the Heir giving Littlefinger control of the Vale, the North and arguably the Riverlands in one go. I can't see how they're going to shoehorn her being at Winterfell. Baelish has no reason to align with Stannis, at all. The scene with Tommen and Meryn with the sparrows circling them looks kind of cool though.

Harry the Heir might not exist in the show, so they're probably gonna have to do something different in any event. This may not be about aligning with Stannis at all, but getting control of Winterfell before he does. Put a friendly force inside Winterfell, backstab the Boltons, then have the Northern lords recognize Sansa. Lycus fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Mar 10, 2015 |

I would put money on Harry the Heir not appearing in the show at all - it's exactly the sort of convoluted politicking that they've avoided for five years now. I don't think he'll amount to anything in the books either, purely because a) it's Littlefinger, even when he's telling the truth he's lying, and b) I don't think anyone has ever successfully pulled off a plan after explaining it to the reader/another character. That aside, the trailer looks fricken awesome  I got into the books via the show, so I think I'm probably more open to changes than a lot of people

I don't really get why that thread exists to be honest; it's been nearly 4 years since Dance so I don't know why there's so much to discuss. At least with this thread there's stuff to discuss in the "off-season" like casting news, shooting rumours etc. I actually think the wait sends people crazy, especially if you post regularly in a thread that constantly reinforces how long it's been since you had a new book to read. Although I'd probably be pissed off if I had to wait 10 years between Tyrion chapters

Lycus posted:Sansa absorbing Wyman seems like it would be a decent enough consolidation to me. Maybe she'll bring pie. It seems likely that Clive Mantle (The Greatjon) will be returning since he presumably has Rickon. Someone found a tweet from October that had a make-up artist saying she was pleased to be working with 'Clive Mantle for GOT' which was later taken down. Also the showrunners clarified last year that the Greatjon was still alive and didn't attend the Red Wedding. We can only hope that the Greatjon was so distraught by the death of his king that he gained 400 pounds in fat. On the other hand, a source claimed that Manderly banners will appear in the series and they put the effort in to place a Manderly at the RW so maybe they'll put Charles Dance in a fat-suit.

For me it's this and that I can't really see how Sansa knows anything about the North's memory. She dicked around in the South and hasn't had contact to the North in any meaningful way since her dad died. That said, I could see it working if she precedes "The North Remembers" with something like "I am the North".

Adds a nice contrast to Cats journey to the north if the most Southron Stark ends up as the most stone-cold First Man.

I'd like to ask the thread who they think the most self-delusional character is. I just thought of Aeron Damp Hair Greyjoy and realized how much I enjoyed his chapters, mainly because he is hot in pursuit of Cersei's throne as the character with the most hilariously flawed self-perception. I think right in his first chapter he is summoned to some lord's hall and can't stop thinking about how that soft greenlander is cowed by his righteous power, when in reality he is just throwing tantrums and the other guy is clearly uncomfortable and wants to get rid of this nut asap. Is there anyone else (besides Cersei) whose self-image is so clearly contradicted by the way people around them act?

Sure, anywhere in the books counts. Good call too, Theon's chapter in Winterfell read like someone made Macbeth into a dark comedy where Macbeth is secretly a doofus.
