Like, the best case you can make for it is that The Hound decided she wouldn't be safe there since Lysa just died and ran away with her before any of the guards could make it down, but that's stretching it hard. No followup scene where Sansa learned that Arya was at the gate sucked too. If you're going to change poo poo at least follow what you change to its logical conclusion.

I guess it was a continuity error? Because he was his squire on season 3 (and that was the whole of Loras plot on season 3 lol), and next season he is the pimp master. I thought squires were bound to their masters and only they could release them from their duties either by dismissing them or knighting them? A hilarious continuity error which could have been easily avoided by either writing a good plot OR hiring 2 actors. They could have probably hired someone else to be the head of Littlefinger's house of gratuitous nudity...oh wait Ague Proof posted:Someone filmed the exhcange. Smart move on D&D's part. Whenever some dumb plot happens they can say it was the coffee guy's fault, whom they were just trying to help grow as a writer.

No, the squire WAS the pimp viceroy at Littlefinger's whorehouse, while also moonlighting as Loras's squire (as a well-placed sleeper agent), which no one apparently noticed or cared to mention to Loras.

lezard_valeth posted:Wait, I might be misremembering but I think we do see him fight in DwD. Izdar zo Loraq is ruling over Mereen after Daenerys escapes with Drogon and Barristan gathers his forces and kicks him out or some poo poo, and in the process he has to fight some of Izdar's guardians, which granted are actually pit fighters so they put up a poor fight, but we do get a glimpse of Barristan moping the ground with them. Most of his badassness we hear about from other sources. He ended an entire rebellion before joining the kingsguard after cutting down a would be usurper and his personal guard, snuck into duskendale and rescued his king and whooped rear end at countless tourneys around the kingdom. You don't get to see it before he wastes the pit fighter but the dudes like a bad motherfucker. He didn't exactly go out like a bitch against the Harpies but it still felt like a wasted scene. It's like they were trying to double down on how dangerous the harpies were. First with Barry gettin' ganked and then with the fighting pits scene. bobjr posted:I only remember that because it was pointed out in this thread. I wonder if anyone on the show realized that. Eh, Squires prepare your horse, clean your poo poo and help you strap on stuff like gorgets and chest pieces, they're not cleaning your nuts for ya after a days ride. Also he wasn't really his squire, he was helping out on the training ground. The sansa/stoneheart thing might end up being pretty clunky the whole point of it in the book is part of Brienne's realisation and maturation that the world isn't black and white. imo The whole point of it is that she's bringing Jaime before lady stone heart and I think, eventually will kill lady stoneheart to ensure Jaime doesn't end up at the end of a rope. My guess is D&D have absolutely no loving clue what to do with Jaime after this season, and it's why they slowed his story down by sending him to Dorne. In the books he's pretty much MIA and I would think if he gets away from stoneheart heading back to a kingdom where the King is still pre-pubescent, the dowager queen is facing a trial against the faith, a good chunk of his kingsguard cannot be trusted... at all, the hand of the king dead, Highgarden and the Lannisters poised to go to war, Iron islanders reaving up and down the westerlands and the reach, the Stormlands taken by an Army that has crossed the narrow sea, the North all but in open rebellion and the Dornish potentially uprising to the south. He'll have few allies, fewer advisors and a swath of unsolvable issues. He's going to be thurst into a leadership roll he can't hope to be successful in. The other possibilities are he's hanged by the brotherhood, or he's sent off with the mission to secure Arya everyone's heard is in the north, or find Sansa who fled kingslanding. Good luck unravelling that mess D&D. BlindSite fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Apr 28, 2016 |

The Brotherhood could also use Jaime to help them into the upcoming Frey wedding, which has been foreshadowed as being where the Brotherhood is going to make a big vengeance play against the Freys and Lannisters. That would be an interesting dilemma for Jaime because he actually seems pretty disturbed by the Red Wedding even though he spent much of his life hating the Starks, but the kind of slaughter the Brotherhood is probably going to be so indiscriminate that it won't be a purely triumphant moment where the Freys that actually perpetrated the Red Wedding get what's coming to them.

Sansa won't be Stoneheart. She's being set up as the Queen in the North. It's why they're going through the effort to bring back Rickon: so they can kill him and make Sansa the uncontested heir to Winterfell, because Jon won't accept it and Bran is a tree. They might make Beric or Thoros to be a Stoneheart-esque figure, or maybe Blackfish (that would be cool), but not Sansa and definitely not Catelyn.

In that case, it really could be any number of people who enact the extinction of House Frey in the show. Since Thoros is back and there were several new members cast for an "outlaw band" you'd think the Brotherhood will indeed play a role, but it could be any number of people that actually lead them to do this.

I think Brienne's oath to Sansa this week pretty much confirms that Sansa will ask her to kill Jaime. And if they're going to do a Red Wedding Mk II, I can't imagine they wouldn't try and involve Jaime somehow - perhaps trying to implicate him in the same way that Roose Bolton did.

He said "The Lannisters send their regards" instead of "Jaime Lannister sends his regards" because you couldn't expect showwatchers to remember the ironic echo of that one scene where Jaime told Roose to send Robb his regards since he would miss the wedding, resulting in show watchers going "Uh? So did Jaime plan all this?". There is a reason why shows sometimes have to spell out what's going on, there is always the off chance that a TWD fan decided to check "that other popular show"

Rickon dying is kinda necessary for Sansa to take power all for herself, so I'm all for it. Altering the line of succession would be, of course, preferable, but I don't really see that happening in the current political climate of the North.

Could be heading into some parallel Sansa/Robin territory where Sansa poisons Rickon or exploits his walnut crushing autism for her own ends.

They've had the decency not to make us watch whatever insignificant thing is going on with him, though. He's important but it's really hard to see what the end game is for him other than just being dragged out for the series finale. It would be a good move to just make him the Rose and Bernard of GoT.

Mike N Eich posted:I actually think it fits this season pretty well, with Jon resurrected, it would bring ambiguity into the whole process. Is Jon trustworthy now, now that we see a totally mad bloodthirsty Stoneheart? Should we let dead stay dead? Etc. For the books I think it would be really effective if resurrected Jon acted exactly the same, but we didn't get any more POV chapters for him. Never really know what's going on in that undead head of his.
