colonel_korn posted:It'll be interesting to see how things go this season. 4 out of the 5 directors are new (although one of them, Jeremy Podeswa, has done a ton of poo poo for other HBO shows). D&D aren't directing any episodes, but are writing seven, with two being written by Cogman (generally pretty good IMO) and one by a guy who they gave an episode to because he suggested that potato boy should kill Ygritte last season. In It For The Tank posted:Do you have a source for this? It sounds too good to be true. Late but here you go: http://variety.com/gallery/photos-showrunners-impact-report/#!13/david-benioff-d-b-weiss/ quote:“We had an assistant named Dave Hill,” say Benioff and Weiss. “One day last summer he walked into our office and said, ‘You know that kid whose family gets massacred by the wildlings? The one who runs to Castle Black to let them know the wildlings are nearby?’ ‘Yeah?’ ‘Well,’ said Dave, ‘doesn’t it make sense that he’d stay at Castle Black and become a Night’s Watch recruit? Where else is he going to go?’ ‘You’re right,’ we said. ‘That does make sense.’ ‘And what if during the battle for Castle Black, he’s the one who ends up killing Ygritte?’ This year, Dave Hill is a writer on the show.”

Did Dave Hill also say the kid should give a nod to Jon Snow after doing it?

“We had an assistant named Preston Jacobs,” say Benioff and Weiss. “One day last summer he walked into our office and said, ‘You know that Varys guy who gets his balls chopped off with a knife? The one who helps Tyrion escape from King's Landing?’ ‘Yeah?’ ‘Well,’ said Preston, ‘doesn’t it make sense that he’s actually the king of the mermen -or Merlings- and that his ultimate goal is to melt the Wall and flood the rest of Westeros so his fish soldiers (including Cthulhu) can invade Westeros? What else is he going to do?’ ‘You’re right,’ we said. ‘That does make sense.’ ‘And what if during the flooding of King's Landing, Sweetrobin hacks his head off with Dawn and Varys preincarnates into Euron Greyjoy?’ This year, Preston Jacobs is a writer on the show.”

I honestly didn't realize that it was in any way ambiguous that Rober Strong = The Mountain until a friend of mine wondered aloud about who Stong was over the weekend.

oatgan posted:Its pretty clear in the books too, dude. I think he means publicly - officially, Robert Strong is not the Mountain and the Mountain's head is sent to Dorne, even if people suspect something is up. In the show they might just skip that whole thing and claim Gregor survived the poison and is joining the Kingsguard and he's just a freaky zombie who still has his head.

I really, really hope we don't get more of that (we will).

It was impossible to delay the reveal of "Arstan Whitebeard", as the audience knew Barristan and would recognize him instantly. Robert Strong, if I recall correctly, wore a helmet all the time in the books, making possible to conceal that he is actually Gregor.

There's a lot we don't know about what the plot of the Dornish storyline is going to be about in the show, though, so I'm not going to assume that something somewhat important to it in the books is going to be important in the show.

Its just that was impossible to conceal that Whitebeard was Barristan in the show, and in this case it is not (but it is kinda pointless really).

I thought Potato Boy did the head-nod after killing some rando, not after killing Ygritte? EDIT Nuhhhh it really was after killing her. gently caress that is so stupid. His stupid little face even has incredibly excessive fake blood on it like he just ate Styr's parents. GoGoGadgetChris fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Mar 16, 2015 |

Speaking of Arsten Whitebeard, I hope since this season appears to feature the slave fighting pits that we get a casual Strong Belwas reference.

GRRM just updated his blog talking about canceling cons so he can write quote:(Should I complete and deliver WINDS OF WINTER before these cons roll round, I reserve the right to change my mind).  Even if he considers it an outside chance, the fact that he considers it any sort of possibility might actually mean he's kind of close to finishing the damned thing.

I've been re-watching all of GoT starting at Season 2, in order to brush up for the new season. I just finished watching Joffrey's wedding at the beginning of Season 4, and am I the only one who so thoroughly enjoys watching him die a terrible death? I think he's the most hated character in TV or movie I've ever seen. I also love Cersei having to see it happen in front of her eyes. Only thing that sucks is watching Tyrion go through all of that, then being accused. Do Joffrey's on-screen acts match up to what happens in the books, or did they invent new horrors for him for the screen?
