George might not die before this book is finished, but he will for sure die before the last one is finished. The dude is obese and spends a large portion of his time in front of a computer and is old as gently caress. He's gonna die

I'd totally bend the knee, and there is always a bit of flexibility for religious beliefs and traditions when a loving demi-god shows up ( who would even know about the blood shed? ). But getting those fuckers on any kind of boat ... that is the part that would seem a stretch to me. Well, and as we found in Mereen winning isn't ruling. She is still a terrible ruler.. not sure what ( if anything ) will come of that.

MG3 posted:Brienne is one of my favorite characters. She's seen some poo poo and just doesn't give up. Davos is also awesome. The show ends with Jon and Dany sitting the Iron Throne with Davos or Tyrion as Hand, the other sits the small council with Varys, Brienne as Sansa's guardian in Winterfell, and Tormund just being a goddamn boss and building House Giantsbane/Giantslayer on the charred remains of the dreadfort. e: Bran merges with Hodor and a weirwood, becoming Westeros's version of Groot.

I'm wondering if this show will go the deep space nine route and have a kickass sixth season followed by an average to poor finale. Oh who am I kidding, this show isn't near as good as ds9.

I find it funny that one of the few questions GRRM has actually answered over the years is "is Dany always fireproof?" and D&W just went completely the other way anyway.

The Others ice magic is too powerful for the Dragons, the wall is breached and Westeros is quickly over run. Eventually everyone in the world is a dead slave to the Nights King.

And as far as we know the best "magic" these guys have seen have been witches that monkey paw people and maybe do some healing? Kelly C's trick is good enough for the rabble to immediately go "Whoa, something weird here, plus she has dragons" and follow the lady whose bowled over like 3 cities in as many years. I'm pretty sure the quick scene with the other Khal's wife and her going pee was meant to imply that most of the horde has at least already heard of her.

Everyone will revolt against the Lannisters and Tyrells and will be primed for when Dany shows up probably in episode 10 by buzzing the Red Keep on Drogon and Cersei will be startled and spill wine all over herself. If next season is going to be shorter I would think that Dany has to be in Westeros by end of this season.

The next season being shorter? Has anyone talked about that? Wheres your sources? It would be cool if they changed it to a 5 episode super budget show for the last two seasons.

Many conversations I've had and will have: Them: "So Targaryens are fireproof?" Me: "No, Targaryens are not genetically fireproof. Remember how her brother burned to death in Season 1?" Them: "Oh, that's right. But Dany is special though, right? She's 'The Dragon'?" Me pre-604: "Well, you see, what happened at the pyre was one-time miracle, maybe Mirri Maaz Duur had something to do with it, or maybe bla bla bla bla bla..." Me post-604: "Yep, you got it."

Arcsquad12 posted:I feel like paraphrasing Lindybeige and say that the Dothraki wouldn't have had a problem if they hadn't doused their house in modern petrochemicals. "Sweat of the coal" is an essential part of Dothraki grooming and mating rituals. Many a lamb maiden was grateful of it when rape season came around. Oh hey, it just occurred to me that Dany will have have the same problem with rape culture again that she had with slavery I guess Tyrion's compromise means seven years working towards just sexual harassment

Maybe she uses the Dothraki to clear out the slavers and leaves Essos with the Dothraki in charge, then she fucks off to Westeros without them.

You forget that Dorne is going to show up. Probably at the same time the Tyrell army is dealing with a revolt. Should be interesting. And I think that Dany leaves the Unsullied with Missandai and Grey Worm in control of Mireen and takes the Dothraki across the sea in the Iron born ships. Solves the Mireen knot and is a reason to even have Euron in the show.

Invicta{HOG}, M.D. posted:You forget that Dorne is going to show up. Probably at the same time the Tyrell army is dealing with a revolt. Should be interesting. Good call - if it's more than the Sand Snakes, yes, that could just escalate things further. Or Dorne immediately declares for Dany but Elia will probably try to kill Tyrion (when they return to KL). As for Meereen... I think Meereen needs to be left behind but not with Greyworm and Missandei. Dany will sack it completely this time as she's done with half-measures; free Viserion and Rhaegal; send her new Bloodriders to sack Astapor and Yunkai and rid the masters for good (off screen); while turning toward Volantis with her Khalasar and freedmen in tow. Everyone regroups there. And Euron shows up with ships. Euron then becomes more the main villain of season 7 trying to steal one of her dragons and he will kill Daario. Euron's killed then the real threat emerges for season 8 (if the internet rumors can be believed about two short seasons - so that's just a wide guess -but I think Dany will sit on the Iron Throne or at Dragonstone just before the White Walker invasion). I hope we don't lose Greyworm and Missandei because at least they're good foils for Tyrion and Varys and at least in show they're already her Small Council. I'm not sure where they're headed with Jorah, but he will probably sacrifice himself because greyscale. Edit: this is all show talk. geeves fucked around with this message at 05:13 on May 17, 2016 |
