Traxus IV posted:But why? I don't watch the show, what is it about her portrayal that makes her compelling to them? I could maybe see them using Ygritte in place of Mance's wife since Mance is barely a character so far and his wife is non-existent, but the Dead Ygritte gut punch is too good to pass up.

I couldn't care less about spoilers in general, and ASoIaF in particular. I'll read the books regardless so give me all the spoilers u can handle.

I Own Soulz posted:Why does it seem to be such a given that the Other who changed the baby is the Nights King? There isn't really any indication of it having a link to the Nights Watch in the past. I mean it makes sense, but there's very little to support it. He has a crown. One shot is composed such that he's the 13th of 13 Others on screen. The Night's King was the 13th Lord Commander and reigned for 13 years. I also find it interesting that the viewer's guide refers to the location as a "city".

IRQ posted:Also not really a surprise. Isn't Valyria or whatever supposedly some kind of radioactive city now?  But it surprised me because it seemed like another thing that wasn't explicit in the show. It certainly didn't look like any sort of city, just a big ice flow and a spooky altar. But the Viewer's Guide describes it explicitly as a "city of ice". I think it would have been a safe assumption that the Others had a city or cities, but the books never touched on it.

Episodes like this make me wonder how it is to watch the show as a non-reader. I guess it would have been exciting that Bran almost met Jon this episode.

cargo cult posted:I just wanted to say that Ned, and everyone else really, is an utter dickhead for looking down on Jaime for killing Aerys, gently caress his vows, that was the whole point of their rebellion. That bit of characterization makes no sense, unless you want to believe that the people looking down on him are so honorable that they'd never consider breaking any vows.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:Unfortunately, "are ya" is referenced a few times as the pronunciation in the books as one of her nicknames is Arya Underfoot, as in "are you underfoot?" So it's not really pronounced the same as aria. Thanks to Gurm, I now call my dumb dog Finnegan Underfoot because he is also always underfoot, but I don't pronounce "Finnegan" as "Are ya".

Maybe it's as simple as Jon dies > Jon wargs into Ghost > Jon's body turns into a wight > Jon wargs back into his Wight body and seizes control Then there could be some drama where his consciousness encounters whatever power is animating the wights as he takes his body back

Just picked up the A Knight of Seven Kingdoms and after binging on James Ellroy and R. Scott Bakker novels all summer I feel like I'm fan fiction-level stuff. Could it be GRRM is actually... not good??

savinhill posted:You got good taste, James Ellroy is just the fuckin best, and nothing else in fantasy comes close to comparing with just how dope R Scott Bakker's series is. It's not necessarily bad but it seems so uninspired and trope-y now. The illustrations aren't helping to disabuse me of the feeling that it's more Redwall than HBO.

savinhill posted:IIRC, his main publishing company had some big management/exec shakeup, or something very similar, go down, with the result being that fantasy lit is no longer a priority for them and another result is that both Bakker & his fans are hosed & cockblocked at the same time. At least we know it's finished. Bakker's hinted that there will be two sequel novels after The Unholy Consult/The Great Ordeal but I'll be satisfied with a conclusion to the current trilogy. As for ASoIaF, I guess it's a running joke now but I'll be amazed if GRRM publishes Dream of Spring before he dies/retires. I'll be even more amazed if I still care enough to read it, given that it'll be years after HBO finished the story. It must suck for GRRM knowing that GoT is not only going to beat him to the punch, but be the definitive version of ASoIaF in popular imagination.

Also holy poo poo does GRRM like to repeat stupid rhymes and catch phrases ad nauseum. And inject the occasional anachronistic word in the laziest attempt at world building imaginable. ... Maybe reading all five ASoIaF books back-to-back gave me Stockholm syndrome. e. \/ That's what I mean. Dunk and his undercover Targaryen squire just happen to wander in to a low rent wedding tournament/secret Blackfyre Rebellion staging area. Dunk never seems particularly impressive other than that he's big, and yet he keeps winning duels. unlimited shrimp fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Nov 3, 2015 |

How have there not been set leaks or photos for who he brings back? Were the scenes shot indoors? Stoneheart is a good comedy option because if Arya ends up back in the Riverlands then it sets up a much better story than Cleganebowl will ever be. unlimited shrimp fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Mar 21, 2016 |

Arcsquad12 posted:I thought it was pretty bad because the Hound's chopping technique was terrible. Overhead swings, not over shoulder dammit! You'll throw your back out like that. And you could tell he's probably never chopped wood before because one log basically exploded at the slightest tap. When an axe hits wood it tends to go through it, not stop at the top of the log while everything below splits nicely.
