Original Mountain was cool, new Mountain is at least big. The middle mountain was loving terrible and one of the worst decisions of the show. He was a goddamn lamp post not a mountain.

So my thoughts are we might get tower of joy as the opening and the fight between aliser and davos as the ending keeping the rez to ep 3.

The new Daario isn't a bad actor per se but yeah he's nothing like the character he's based off of. And not just because of the lack of blue mustaches. The dude is just too likable and fair handed in the show. Book Daario is a huge unlikable dick to everyone but Dany.

The fourth and fifth books I found to be mediocre--there's a good story in there but it's buried in tons of bloat. But what the show is putting out makes them look like masterpieces. Maybe that was GRRM's plan with the show all along

My interpretation of the Mellisandra scene is that she's having a crisis of faith and has discarded the necklace for a bit of introspection. Stannis died and then her second option, Jon, who she saw in the flames also died and she doesn't know wtf. My prediction is that they'll try to mirror his resurrection with Dany birthing her dragons in season 1 by having the nights watch burn his body with Mellisandra on top of the pyre (she's a witch). Mellisandra will be despondent and passive about the whole thing until she sees something in the flames and starts chanting, after which the flames flare up and when it dies down there is Jon, Azor Ahai reborn. Mellisandra will give her life for the lord of light in a final show of piety and devotion.

tin can made man posted:Yeah, if anything they should be burning the body but are instead defending it because the plot demands it. It's about as bad and lazy as poisoning Myrcella in one way in one episode, then killing Trystane in a different way the next, despite them being in the same place/circumstances as each other. Would've been baller as gently caress if the body was thrown into a funeral pyre and didn't burn

What do you guys think about the "Melisandre is the Crone, part of The Seven" suggestion that I hear a lot atm? She's supposed to be part of a godly force, the Seven, that, when combined, can defeat the White Walkers. Their bearers don't know that they are part of it, but it's suggested they are Melisandre, Dany, Sansa etc.

There's lots of little parallels between for ex. gods and heroes from the past and characters everywhere, but they're just there for literary reasons or for observant readers to wink about, not key parts of the plot. My favorite Seven comparison was always the Stark family - Father Ned, Mother Cat, Warrior Rob, Maiden Sansa, Stranger Arya. The only reason it isn't absolutely perfect is that it gets weird when you get to Bran and Rickon; Bran could be the Smith (since he's named after Bran the Builder) or the Crone (since he's a wizard), while Rickon isn't enough of a character to be either.

The Father: No idea. The Mother: Daenaris The Warrior: Jon Snow The Maiden: Sansa The Smith: Gendry doesn't fit. You could make an argument for Tyrion if you discount actual smithing and consider Tyrion someone who labors for the realm. The Crone: Mellisandra The Stranger: Arya

I've seen some theories that she's Bloodraven's half-sister or his daughter. With the show confirming that she's old as gently caress, those become more likely.

LemonDrizzle posted:I don't think that sounds like it would really fit with the rest of the series or GRRM's themes at all. It definitely is far fetched, but pretty much each main character brings something unique to the table, right? From the wiki; "Statues of the Seven in the Great Sept of Baelor. From left to right: the Crone (holding a lantern), the Warrior (holding swords), the Mother (with open arms of mercy), the Father (holding scales of justice), the Maiden (a nude young woman), the Smith (at lower right facing away from the camera, but visibly holding a blacksmith's hammer), and the Stranger (at lower left, not clearly visible; the Stranger represents death and the unknown, so his statue faces away from the room, towards the wall)." Crone = Melisandre, guiding the people towards the real danger Warrior = Jon, fighting for a new day Mother = Could be Sansa with regards to the people of the world that shitted on her so much Father = Tyrion or even Varys, the only real players in the game that truly care about it Maiden = Someone pure, clean of all sins. Not sure about this one, but maybe, maybe, Cersei will make such a 360 after losing all of her children and possibly even Jaime that she'll achieve this form. Smith = A person that's building something anew, Daenerys reforging Essos into a more pleasant world. Stranger = Arya, no question I find the similarities kinda striking. But of course that could be me being biased by the interesting idea behind it.

Raping Cersei back in S3 sure was something, but when it comes to ignoring your own character development, one has to admire the gall of the writers making Jaime have the exact same "we're the only ones who matter" conversation as in Season 1 That, Davos and the Generic Crows metagaming their way to a last stand on Jon Snow's totally not-ressurectable corpse, the death of a Great House in 15 un-dramatic seconds, and the bizarrely inefficient "poison one person, then send assassins to kill the other" plot beats are all the episode's biggest sins, imo, and all are due to just straight up lazy writing. Whoever mentioned bullet points, with the writers having no clue or just straight up not caring how they reach them, is spot-on. tin can made man fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Apr 26, 2016 |

I mean I guess the only reason they didn't slaughter everyone at the dock then turn around and kill Doran is that they had to wait for popular support from the redshirts of Dorne. Like, they're clearly loyal to the Martells when they seize the Sand Snakes, but Obara's "I fight for Dorne, who do you fight for?" got a few of them thinking, then once they proved how bad rear end they were at poisoning a princess the rest were on board. Then, once they had popular support they just had to wait for Cersei's "uhh my daughters dead??" letter to kill Doran and greenlight the Trystane hit via priority express raven. I know that makes no sense but neither does what actually happened onscreen, so

At this point, there's no reason to believe it won't have some significance down the line and plenty of potential reasons as to why they showed it even if it isn't directly explained (which won't happen because viewers are dumb).
