It would be like a telenovela. We open with Dany in Daario's arms in a bungalow with a slowly rotating ceiling fan. They giggle, and the thick humidity leaves their skin glistening wetly. The door swings open, revealing Khal Drogo in an open-front short-sleeved shirt.

"Dany, mi esposa," he says, as the camera zooms in on his smiling face. "Yo Acabamos de regresar de la tumba para continuar nuestro matrimonio."

But then, a tense musical sting! His eyes narrow. "Daenerys. Este hombre que sostiene en manera de un amante. ¿Quién es él?"

"No, marido!" She leaps to her feet, quickly buttoning her blouse shut. "No es lo que piensas, lo juro por los Siete!"

"Khal Drogo, puedo explicarlo," Daario says, his thick, bristling moustache shimmering with sweat. And gold. "¿No le gustaría por favor calmarte?"

Drogo's eyes bore into Daario like a physical blow, knocking the man back onto the extremely tidy bed. "Cállate, puta."

Janos Slynt is returning, though. So his role will likely just be unaltered.

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

Maybe before the fight Oswell Whent fused with Arthur Dayne DBZ style.

Wouldn't Marg already be a member of the faith? I mean, I'm pretty sure the Reach is one of the areas dominated by the Andals. I guess they mean confirms her obedience to the faith and to obey the High Septon direct orders.

GRRM explicitly wrote in a blog post that it saps his motivation when people predict his twists, and that he gets paralyzed between spitefully changing it (for the worse, as he admits) and keeping it as is, but with no enthusiasm to write it.

Theres shitloads of reasons why Stannis was written the way he was. "The showrunners hate him" is probably the dumbest though.

Bias against a fictional character?

Kajeesus posted:

I sincerely doubt that anyone but Stannis will burn her. He's been hedging his bets on Melisandre throughout the books, letting her advise him and use her magic against his enemies, but never committing to her religion or following her blindly. In aSoS, he was willing to sacrifice an innocent child when convinced it was necessary, but had the choice taken from him. Shireen, in addition to being an innocent child, is also his daughter and, more importantly, his heir and legacy. What could the culmination of his character arc be, if not him being asked to sacrifice the one thing he values most?

Gorn Myson posted:

So D&D wrote Stannis into the show, cast a charismatic actor to play him, kept him around for four seasons and gave him a lot of screen time specifically because they hated him? Hes a fictional character. If they hated him so much they could have written him out at any point in the show. Or just not cast him in the first place.

Ginette Reno posted:

That seems like such a big change to make. If Stannis does beat the Boltons in the book, then what does a resurrected Jon do? He's not going to march against Stannis.

Ginette Reno posted:

Would Melisandre abandon a still living Stannis, though? Even if she does resurrect Jon in the books, that still leaves Stannis alive and a victorious Stannis at Winterfell would presumably not do much to dissuade Mel from her belief in him. In the show she flees him like a sinking ship when she realizes he's not the one but it's a bit harder to justify that if he wins that battle.

Although it would be an interesting dynamic for Mel to march alongside Jon. Stannis having to play second fiddle to Jon and having to treat with Jon/Mel would be a very Stannis thing to have happen

Nail Rat posted:

He just gets stabbed at the end of every season from now on, like Kenny on South Park

Mike N Eich posted:

I guess one possibility for Stannis in TWOW (which will never come out) is that the Red Letter *is* true, but immediately after Ramsay and the Boltons think they are victorious, the Manderly's and other loyal Northmen have come back with Rickon and revolt against the Boltons and declare for the Starks.

That would be the storyline that would delve the closest with the TV show portrayal, as Jon can then march down and join them. It just sounds incredibly stupid.

Funny how after this latest season there is almost no speculation about what Mance Rayder's role is anymore. After they killed him off did we all just assume his role is kind of fulfilled in the books as well? Will he be killed with little fanfare at the beginning of TWOW? Who knows.

Pedro De Heredia posted:

Yes, they emphasized negative traits, a completely normal thing to do in an adaptation, and you react to this by saying they 'hate his character' and wanted to sabotage him, a thing obsessed teenagers who have too much emotional attachment to the media they consume would think.

Ginette Reno posted:

Not sure what would be interesting about it. They killed his army and Mel abandoned him. There's kinda nothing left for him to do.

At least in the books he'll have an army to say gently caress you to Jon and Mel with.

Lord Beric himself did not eat. Arya had never seen him eat, though from time to time he took a cup of wine. He did not seem to sleep, either. His good eye would often close, as if from weariness, but when you spoke to him it would flick open again at once.

Melisandre had spent the night in her chair by the fire, as she often did. With Stannis gone, her bed saw little use. She had no time for sleep, with the weight of the world upon her shoulders. And she feared to dream.

Some nights she drowsed, but never for more than an hour. One day, Melisandre prayed, she would not sleep at all. One day she would be free of dreams.

I still can't believe they thought it was a good idea to play the "I just need 20 good men" plan straight and have it succeed. The entire food supply, literal tonnes of food, for a thousands strong army. Covered and guarded and while it was snowing. No one saw them, they destroyed the food with fire.
