Actually, has Roy Dotrice done "Sunset found her squatting in the grass" yet?

I was pretty surprised that both Grenn and Pyp were killed off in the battle on the show. Weren't they pretty important in Jon getting elected Lord Commander?

Sansa is pretty much in book 4, or at least there's book 4 stuff that needs to be introduced. The heir dude, killing robin, etc, unless they're just going to have her marry robin.

kaworu posted:Stuff like that just doesn't bother me, is the funny thing. Whereas stuff that really bothers me is when I feel they mis-characterize or miscast someone. Like for instance, I've felt like they cast the wrong actor for Jon Snow from the very first episode, and that has screwed with me headcanon for more than anything comparable to portrayals of minor aspects of the world like giants, even if the logistics make no sense. Thing is, Tyrion is NOT pitch perfect. Show Tyrion is WAY more charismatic than book Tyrion. Book Tyrion is ugly, unlikeable and downright loathsome despite having a bit of a conscience unlike many of the other sociopaths in his family. Peter Dinklage's Tyrion is quite the opposite. He's good looking, charismatic, and his scar has made him more badass looking if anything.

They skipped a ton of Sansa stuff, which is surprising since there really isn't much left for her to do. Maybe one or two more scenes and then they're past what GRRM has already published.

There was definitely more lords declarant stuff though, so it seems like they've bypassed a bunch of that.

There was the whole section where they visit the Fingers, which they skipped, and the trial of Marillion, who was completely cut out of this season. The Eyrie seemed completely devoid of people, which felt quite earie. Not sure if they skipped 90% of Brienne's chapters in FFC or if they just haven't gotten to them yet. Either way next season will be interesting.

They also skipped about fifty thousand pages of "walking to the top of the Eyrie", which I'm glad they did really. Not sure why they skipped the trip to the Fingers though, as that explained some of Littlefinger's backstory and motivations. Maybe they'll just work that into dialogue at some point instead.

Most likely. Otherwise it would have been an entirely new set piece for a bit that could be done through exposition. Either that or they're just going to skip it and ignore baelish's motivations entirely.

They could transplant some Kettleblacks. Have two around the Eyrie, watching Littlefinger's back and one traipses off to King's Landing to Cersei it up.

The 'Osmund, Lancel, and Moonboy for all I know' is going to lose a lot of it's heft since 2/3rds aren't even in the show and the remainder hasn't been mentioned in like 3 years.

I just mean discussing the plan to kill him, or really any sort of plan at all. A clean show watcher would have no clue that's on the table.

Apparently Stannis's army is starving at the end of dance. Why? The North would be teeming with game with such a low population, especially now that they have access to the haunted forest.

They are pretty much frozen over about 3 days from Winterfell and have already fished the lake dry.

So this last page has just made me realise I remember gently caress all about Sansa's plot post ASOS, so I will need to re-read Feast before Winds comes out. The good news is that I will never need to re-read Feast.

Animals aren't very active in the winter, they'd have already hunted their immediate surroundings clean in the time they've been sitting there. I mean poo poo, they fished out the lake didn't they?

PittTheElder posted:Because the climactic and environmental systems of Westeros serve no master save narrative. Winter is meant to be beginning at the start of the series, allegedly with 100ft snowfalls on the way. In fact they spend the whole first book/series or so making such a huge loving deal out of it. Not sure what the timescale is meant to be from AGOT to the last book but the fact that this never actually happens always annoyed me.

Is it even feasible to feed an army of thousands on the move just by hunting animals? Unless you're marching through a giant cattle farm, I wouldn't think there'd be sufficient animal density to support that many people. Then again, I know jack poo poo about hunting or feeding armies.
