Gianthogweed posted:It'd be really weird if the show deviates so much from the books that in the books he's a wolf and in the show he's a zombie. Hasn't Ghost only been in this series so far once? I've not watched any of the previous ones so I don't know how often he turns up but it feels like in the books they're talking about him all the time. When he turned up my non-book reading housemates were pretty confused about him.

This season he appeared on screen for about 3 seconds during the Gilly rape scene. In the books he's really important. In the show ... not so much.

Parks & Recreation did predict (jokingly) in 2017 that Dany would marry Jack Sparrow in a season finale. I don't think this is too far off from the truth.

Do you think Kevan and Pycelle might die early next season? Doesn't seem to be enough time and Kevan hasn't been fleshed out enough for it to matter.

Scene before walk Kevan: You're done. I am here to fix this country, you idiot. Ending scene Kevan: You shot me, you shot me right in the gut. Curse your sudden but inevitable return Varys! Although I expect that Kevans death (and the maester P. diddy) will be less important what with Tommen biting it as well. One of those crazy incest babies is biting it this season and my money would be on Tommen.

Are you using series in the American sense of "every single episode of the show" or the UK sense of "the current 10 episodes"? Ghost was in Season 5 one time but has been in every other season (except 4?) at least once, I think. He may have been involved in the raid on Craster's Keep in season 4, now that I think about it.

S05E08 Tyrion (to Dany): Stannis Baratheon will never back you. His entire claim to the throne rests on the illegitimacy of yours" Umm....no it doesn't. The Targs have nothing to do with Stannis' claim. Did the writers get their blondes confused?

Yeah, you beat me, but Stannis doesn't care about Targs because Baratheons kicked them out. Dany needs people that would rally around her being a Targ to oust the existing Baratheons.

I'm pretty sure most of them are still alive since none of them really saw any battle so far. Unsullied reminds me of the Roman legionaires in a way. Fearsome as a group, but not that impressive as solo fighters. I think its why they look so pathetic so far. They are depicted very badly in the show. Its almost sad.

There's no dramatic tension at all with the harpies if the Unsullied can just wipe the floor with them. What do you guys expect the show to do?

That is amazing. I know this because I use to play swordfight when I was like 8 and I didn't manage to kill anyone.

She actually bought more than 8,000 as she bought the entire 'stock' in Astapur including the boys still in training, which given the size of the stock and the amount the die in training etc should I'd assume be at least several more thousands, clearly many of those are not grown men capable of fighting and even those that are of a fighting age are not 'true unsullied'. Perhaps Dany just sends all the kid to die facing the harpies?

Not have the numbers-heavy guys just faff around and go in one and two at a time? Maybe like I don't know, dogpile the Unsullied because they have 10 to every 1? They lose a few Harpies due to the Unsullied NOT being chumps AND it doesn't look stupid.

I think they should have kept the Harpies as a clandestine threat that existed merely as a bunch of goons killing off lone unsullied, where Dany's challenges are far more political than material. The book scene was great because Drogon just kinda shows up in the middle of the violence and HIzdahr-Dragon-Hater orders the guards to kill him and then Dany jumps down and flies off. The whole assassination plot was kinda dumb and the whole fight scene was bad.

Wouldn't a 'Previously on' be really easy to fake? If I had a week to do it, I could easily put one together in Movie Maker. All of the elements are there, it would just be case of putting them together in a convincing way.

Jon says "Uncle Benjen" twice and "uncle" once. Do these reminders usually last for 2 full minutes? This year, Dave Hill is a writer for 'previously on Game of Thrones...'

Yeeeeahhh it is pretty convincing except the part with Syrio seems kinda janky. They've avoided showing how much the child actors have aged in the "Previously On's" and having Syrio deliver his goofy line was very off tempo.

Makes perfect sense if Trant is dying and Arya tells him why. Name dropping Syrio in the ep without having a relevent previously on just isn't Game of Thrones' way of doing things.
