I mean, he straight up says he'd do it in SoS.quote:I never asked for this crown. Gold is cold and heavy on the head, but so long as I am the king, I have a duty … If I must sacrifice one child to the flames to save a million from the dark … Sacrifice … is never easy, Davos. Or it is no true sacrifice.

Jon Snow has been dead for like 5 years. Awesome to have the book cliffhanger paid off by the TV show.

Intel&Sebastian posted:Was there anything of significance going on in the tree flashback? I missed some of the dialogue but it seemed like they were just reinforcing that Lyanna is a cool lady who takes no poo poo. Re-introducing the TV audience to Lyanna, and showing Hodor once more mentally with it. Who knows whats locked inside his mind.

Hodor knows the secret to defeating the Others via a old tale his mother told him, but can't communicate it to anybody.

What would the Winterfell stable boy know that no one else would? That Rhaegar and Lyanna wasn't exactly a kidnapping as Robert portrayed it isn't a secret. Doesn't Selmy tell Danny as much? I don't remember. Also doesn't Ed give Robert a little side eye in Episode 1 when they talk about Lyanna in the crypts? Again, been a while don't remember.

It would be cool to see the climax of the battle of the Trident in flashback. We wont, but it would be cool.

Show Jon was at Hardhome, fought an Other, and literally saw the Nights King raising a wight army. Instead of coming back from the dead to face this very real threat he's all gently caress this poo poo, I'm out!

Too bad the show runners had a hard on for their old dual wield Ranger D&D character instead of making Dane fight with a big fuckoff great-sword. Of course Ned is supposed to have a big gently caress off great-sword too...but bad TV show is bad. Like why even change those details? Some stunt coordinator thought it would look more bad rear end the way they did it vs the way GRRM wrote it?

Ginette Reno posted:Is dual wielding really unbelievable in a world with fuckin' dragons? They can just hand wave it and say Dayne had two magically light longswords. Eh, it's more that in the books we know very little about Arthur Dayne, but what we do know is repeated a few times. He's a loyal, honorable, true knight. And he wields a big fuckoff magic sword that is different then every other magic sword in the universe. Aside from dual wielding be a dumb fantasy trope (in a show that loves to upend fantasy tropes) there was no need to make the change in the 1st place. Go with what was written, it works.

Creating a monster to do your bidding that you lost control of is kind of a trope, and GRRM loves subverting tropes, so it's not a terrible idea on its face if there is some interesting thing they do with it.

By the way I felt like a dope when my main nitpick with the whole "Now my watch has ended" bit from the other episode was tackled head on with Edd doing his whole, "Hey shithead, YOU FORGET ABOUT THE ICE ZOMBIES?!" thing. I'm guessing the way they meant to write it is that Jon Snow is loving exhausted and out of hope, I imagine being dead a few days will do that to you, with his speech about how tired he is of fighting and willing to peace out from the wall and all, but the actor couldent sell it. A minor quibble.

She burned their high holy place with all their leaders in it to the ground and walked out of the flames totally unharmed. I dunno, that would probably make me question some core beliefs if I personally witnessed it.

The Others ice magic is too powerful for the Dragons, the wall is breached and Westeros is quickly over run. Eventually everyone in the world is a dead slave to the Nights King.

Lycus posted:The showrunners expect to only make about 13 more episodes after Season 6. The whole piece reads to me like a public contract negotiation. They'll take the ball and go home or HBO finds some HBO bux and we get another season or at least a few more episodes.

Evil Fluffy posted:Wasn't his answered "it was a one time thing" and then after that we got the arena scene in ADWD with Day approaching Drogon and her hair gets burned (again) as well as maybe some of her clothes, but she's unaffected by the heat? I think in the Book Barn we can agree an author has a right to change his story as he sees fit as he writes. Who cares what he said in an interview a decade ago? poo poo changes.

The wood elves might of destroyed the land bridge between Essos and Westeros, tried to wreck The Neck but only would up flooding it, but the idea that they created ice zombies is too much?

Like, so when child Hodor has a seizure he's having a vision of future Hodor? Is that what's happening? Bran tries to interact with the visions he has in the books, but nobody ever hears him. In the show it makes it look like Ed sorta hears his future son call out to him? I'm confused. E: I am literally wrong. Theon sees Brans face in the tree in the winterfell godswood and hears a voice. davecrazy fucked around with this message at 22:00 on May 22, 2016 |

Wood Elves are supposed to be kindly wise tree hugers with an innate connection to nature and whatever. Renowed for their wisdom and mystic arts. Well what if they were also responsible for the worst monster that exists in the universe by intentionally creating it? You feel that fantasy trope? You've been SUBVERTED. GRRM'D!

Just watched the episode and everything worked for me. Yeah you can nitpick but it was fun to watch. Leaf's "Sorry, not sorry" could of been done a bit better, I doubt non book readers have a grasp on the extent to which the wood elves were getting exterminated. Meanwhile no character in the books can set foot in the riverlands and south without noticing a spot where the trees used to grow but were all cut down or whatever. So we saw the tree cave was warded but once the Nights King touched Bran that broke the ward. The Wall is supposedly warded too. If they bring Bran south of the wall does that give the Nights King and his bros the same ignore magical barriers ability? davecrazy fucked around with this message at 18:41 on May 23, 2016 |

Regarding little fingers fast travel...Is it really so crazy that Littlefinger got on a boat in the vale, sailed up to Eastwatch then rode west. That assumes that some time has passed since the last episode but that's a reasonable assumption. Sansa didn't make a dress and a fuckoff fur cloak in two days.
