I stopped watching halfway through last season. It failed to hold my interest and it became obvious that the show writers are only capable of good material when they're working off of stuff GRRM's already written, which of course they've run out of. I'm not sure I'll bother with this season.

For whatever reason it pisses me off more than anything that the show had Stannis die before Balon.

Nah, gay heirs just have a malus to fertility. They're still perfectly capable of doing their duty to ensure the royal succession. Just don't expect the Brady Bunch.

Stannis would make the best king, fact.

I think they're just going to drop the warg stuff for the other kids: Arya will complete her training by becoming Daredevil; Jon will get revived without an extended stint as Ghost; and Rickon will probably get killed unceremoniously at some point this season to add drama to the northern storyline (although I'm skeptical of the alleged "Ramsay shooting arrows at him" leak) so who cares about him.

At least in the books I'm pretty sure Rickon winds up being King in the North; his presence in the story has always struck me as being the one to be left over when Bran and Robb are gone.

Sansa will be King in the North. There's a lot of very progressive gender issues coming this season.

:negative: This is far too plausible for comfort.

A longstanding complaint I have is that HBO's ~~progressiveness~~ with this show is totally rear end-backwards. e.g. the mandatory Gay Character Quotient dictating that Loras, who in the books is mostly notable for being a cool knight who is very skilled, doesn't do much other than suck dicks in the show. Then doubling down on that last season by turning the sparrows into a cross of westboro baptist church with the gestapo. It's loving obnoxious. It feels like HBO has a couple of stupid hobby horses that it can't let go of.

Not a new complaint I know but it still pisses me off.

Not as much as it would have been improved by being omitted entirely.

Jaimie was the main character in that insane Gods of Egypt movie that I am RIGHT NOW listening to a podcast about (How Did This Get Made). In fact one of the podcast hosts mentioned he had a development meeting with a Hollywood studio and the suits stated they wanted to work with any GoT cast member. They are apparently hot commodities. Perhaps they have stuff in development that just hasn't come out yet.

Incidentally he was also in Black Hawk Down 16 years ago.

When's it time for a new thread? When they start releasing trailers? Or has that already happened?

First mistake the show made was Talisa in place of Jeyne Westerling.

I pretty much gave up on the show after they killed barristan selmy.

Play with her arse was bad but it didn't ruin any future parts of the show. It was self contained, more or less, in its awfulness.
