Which character has the most characters fused together to cut down story, like are they turning Ellaria Sand into basically the Arianne role now?

The Unnamed One posted:Although it points out that Ellaria and the Snakes are ruling Dorne, which is retarded I hate how they fused Arianne Martell with Ellaria Sand What, by the end of this show, is a bastard going to be on every throne? Then again Gurm really hates nobility and religion so Jon saying "he saw nothing" seemed like what Gurm will make him say about dying so him putting bastards on the thrones of everything makes sense to what Gurm would want. I pretty much am on the "none of the prophecies are true, people are just full of poo poo and self-fulfill them" train

Book-Jon should remember his second life as Ghost. He's not a warg on the show. There are too many prophecies where the people predicting/observing them have nothing to do with what's going to happen for all of them to be bullshit.

I don't know, Pyke is a pretty cool name for their capital, and Greyjoy is a cool name along with all the older house names. I think Gurm just thought of a dumb name and ran with it. Also at least Gurm doesn't make his characters say "swive" because man I hate that word a lot.

This episode just kind of...existed. I checked the time during the end hanging scene and legitimately expected it to be only like half over but nope roll credits. RIP Thorne. He was the best, his actor was the best, and he had the best speech of the whole show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XAk2hpuAQI Also the Olly hate is weird. drunken officeparty fucked around with this message at 04:43 on May 9, 2016 |

I don't think there's been any real surprises yet, outside of the really dumb Dorne stuff. I mean, its not too hard to figure out where the plot is going in many cases. Everyone pretty much predicted that Jon dying and coming back would be used to get out of his vows. I did like how brutal the hanging was. Normally the idea is to break the neck so they die quick, but this was via strangulation, which is just cruel. But gently caress Thorne and Olle. I can't help but think that the Little Birds are playing Qyburn. I really doubt that Varys would rely on gifts to get information from them. It's also weird that Robert Strong's identity is pretty much an open secret. Though god drat cock tease Tower of Joy. I love the fight. Dayne felt like a legit threat, but Ned didn't get chumped, was able to hold out against him for long enough so that Reed was able to backstab Dayne. I always figured it was something as simple as the Kings Guard igoring Reed because he wasn't a threat, but then he was able to use that to his advantage and strike. None of this "he warg'd into Dayne and caused him to lose the fight!" crap that was so touted around. I am not sure what's going on with the Umbers though. Until they brought out shaggydog's head, I figured that it still could be a trap for Ramsey, but they wouldn't kill the Direwolf if they were still on the Stark side. Though it could be fake.

Is it too late to for D&D to pull a fantastic troll and cast Hayden Christensen as some character who shows up and is really important at the eleventh hour? Like he's Darkstar or Donnie Tagaryan or whatever the gently caress?

It seems really risky bringing the actual Rickon into Ramsay's house of horrors. How do you know he just doesn't stab him as soon as introductions are over?

The only stories of the Tower of Joy we get in the book are either... 1. Spoken narrative and thus likely unreliable 2. Ned's fever dreams which could also be pretty hosed up The show provides the only unbiased depiction of the Tower of Joy, so we now know that Arthur "The Sword" Dayne is actually a two sword kinda guy, and also that Oswell Whent never existed

I think what I like the most is when Jon is revealed to be Rhaegar's son, it'll be another nail in Alister Thorne's coffin in the show. If you don't know, Thorne was a targ loyalist. So all this time he's been a oval office to his lord's son, thinking he was Ned Stark's bastard. I wonder how things will end up in the books where its pretty different..?
