Mischitary posted:It's entirely possible that Dany never returns to Meereen but that doesn't defeat the necessity of a battle occurring. She's got two dragons chilling in Meereen. I mean, she doesn't have to go back, but I don't think she'd straight up abandon them to go conquer Westeros.

ClearAirTurbulence posted:The last book ended with Jaime going to see someone who has wanted to kill him very badly. I wouldn't be surprised to see him die early in book 6, and since Stoneheart isn't in the TV show they would have to find some other way to get rid of him. Either way would let him have a heroic end where he died doing the honorable thing. If he died in Dorne, its true that Jaime would still have his hero's journey, but we'd lose that little bit in the Riverlands where he unconsciously assumes the role of Lord of Casterly Rock when dealing with the squabbling Lannisters. Its a nice little lesson that "you don't have to be your father to be your father's heir" that'd be a shame to lose in the transition to television.

emanresu tnuocca posted:But for me this isn't so much about filler as the limitations of the media, I don't consider Brienne's journey and other such plots as filler so many people might disagree with me on this but the way I see it the books taking their time to explore the world and focus on 'smaller stories' is fine and adds a lot to their charm, the show has to work with a 10 hour seasonal constraint and it's pretty clear that they're just doing their own thing now and don't really care whether they follow up on George's plot developments or not. Yeah, its clear that while Brienne's journey is filler in the strictest sense, it still manages to convey a ton of information about the world that will eventually become important in later books. I mean, George wouldn't spend so much time developing the Riverlands if it wasn't going to play some role in the books' endgame.

Dick leech and Talisa's rear end are examples of good filler, bro.

rydiafan posted:Not liking Arya is a sign of sociopathy. TV Arya can't act and has the same constipated look on her face in every scene. Book Arya is cool, though.

Having dark thoughts is very different from acting on them and that distinction is, in many respects, the only thing that separates good people from bad people.

Quick, someone go to Cushing's and get a picture of the editor's comments the first time GRRM uses "nuncle." Thanks.

I, for one, am eagerly looking forward to people comparing Cersei's nude walk with the feminist cause du jour. ![]()

paco650 posted:enables far worse things to happen all around her Releasing Jaime does kinda set him on the path to redemption (or, at the very least, hobble him so he'll never take up the sword again). Its kinda a big "what if" had he been freed at the Red Wedding instead and returned to King's Landing intact.

Marrying Sansa to Ramsay would be a weird play considering LF would be sacrificing a claim on the Vale and strengthening Bolton's claim on the North for... nothing.

Beeez posted:And the first time the show ever suggested Daenerys is deluded about just how special she really is was when the dragons ate that kid. I think we're supposed to find her crucifying the slavers to be a step too far given Barristan's reaction.

hemophilia posted:There is no real hope we will get the making GBS threads scene is there? I feel like it's necessary for everyone who named their daughter khaleesi but there's no way is there? We got Tywin's making GBS threads scene, so there's a slim, but very real chance we'll also get Dany's.
