Also, apparently, you - I think it was you - were right about Meereen. show spoilers: E4 ends with a cliffhanger with Barristan and Grey Worm ambushed. Grey Worm apparently has scenes in the trailer that aren't in E1-E4, Barristan doesn't. They are using the death(s) to show that the Harpy is serious business.

But Sophie also talked about 'letting her character die/retire' and 'waiting for her brothers', which really does look like she accomplishes something. That's hilarious if it's true. I bet the fight takes place entirely off-screen as well. He'll die without ever fighting.

I don't get how the Grey Worm actor got upset over getting wrecked in the show if the rumor is true. The character is useless in the book and the actor is terrible in the show.

Multiple minor characters are probably getting offed this season. The actor who died mentioned that he was expecting a bigger role considering his character's scenes in the book but Grey Worm doesn't do anything except exist in ADWD. I think it might be Finn Jones (Loras).

It's going to be Bronn. His only trailer scenes are in some fight in Dorne, he survives the current books, the actor is English as gently caress and would use terms like " That's not up to tally" and they need something to show that Areo is someone you don't gently caress with.

Weird question, but why exactly would they need to show that Areo is a badass? The only thing he does in the books is kill an already severely injured guy, otherwise he just polishes his ax a lot. Is there something in the cards for Hotah that I missed?

Hotah is a weird element for the show. He exists in the books because we can't be in Doran's head for his POV's, so instead we get the dude that loves his axe and not much else and just observes what's going on around Doran. That perspective isn't entirely necessary on the show, so taking out Bronn for Areo seems kinda wrong.

Yeah alright I am certainly wrong about Bronn dying just to show off Areo's skills but it will certainly show the audience that the Lannisters are starting to crumble. Bronn is the perfect example of Lannister dominance, he's went from nothing to a lord just serving the "lowest" of the Lannisters so seeing him get cut down brutally will kinda echo what's in store for the Lannisters and everyone who's sided with them this season.

I know that the books are a completely different thing from the show and that characters are not the same in both, but this whole thing with Sansa taking the place of Jeyne Poole in the Winterfell plot just makes my head explode. Even for show Littlefinger I cannot possibly fathom how he could let Sansa even be alone in a room with Ramsay let alone marry him. "Sansa, you remind me so much of the one woman in my entire life that I ever truly loved and would've done anything for, so much so that I'll gladly let you marry this sadistic torturing madman who's also totally unpredictable and capable of anything." Eh, guess I'll wait and see what they have cooked up. The Theon plot in ADWD was so great that there's probably not a chance it'll live up to my expectations anyways, but it might not be that bad. The devil may be in the details.

frankenfreak posted:Maybe he expected his character's romantic storyline to actually get explored a bit more. He doesn't have balls, not gonna be much of a storyline by GoT show standards. The whole unsullied storyline doesn't make sense without the "wine of courage" plot, which logically could cause problems down the line of supply is constrained.

Yeah, Ramsay's crimes are kept on the down low in the show and only his victims, his henchman, and the Ironborn really have any idea of his depravity. Walder Frey didn't seem to have any notion of Ramsay's psychopathy in Season 3, and Ramsay charmed Fat Walda easily enough in their first interaction in Season 4. I can see Littlefinger thinking Ramsay is a total non-entity because he's too preoccupied with Roose, only to be caught off guard again like this:

LemonDrizzle posted:Is Ramsay's psychopathy well known outside the North? Littlefinger's smart and devious, but he's not omniscient; he may simply not know what he's getting into. If LF doesn't know, he is a dumbass. In the books Ramsay Snow was kind of infamous for being a crazy bastard before we ever got to know him. Since this is Show-LF we are talking about this is a bit of a moot point though, I realize, but if he never heard about how the bastard son of House We Love To Flay People is a sadistic prick then he might not be that good at gathering intelligence.

Jesus, they are really collapsing those two plotlines? I thought it was Jamie doing to Dorne that was the collapsed storyline... I guess it's both. Cool. I like that they're playing jazz, so long as they keep it fun and make it good television. I am going to be a bit miffed if they totally excise Davos' visit to White Harbor and the ensuing Wyman Manderly stuff (basically, Frey Pie) because that's one of the greatest bits remaining in the books. I don't think they even cast Wyman Manderly for this season, though, so I ain't holdin' my breath. And they could easily have Davos head off to Skagos to go Rickon-huntin' without sending him to White Harbor and having him "killed".

Show-Rickon headed to Last Hearth, so Show-Davos ain't going to Skagos. I'd guess that Davos is just going to be a part of Stannis's scenes this season.
