None of the people that were stabbing Jon were people that would be talking to any of the wildlings in the night they had been back. I doubt many people were just shouting about seeing their dead family members stand up on the beach and look at them. Jon only told Sam about what happened. The attackers had been planned the assassination while Jon was gone. There was little time for any talk from his return until his demise. It's entirely reasonable that the men who have been conspiring against Jon Snow did not talk to him or any of his friends in the night after his return. It's not like he had been back for weeks and they had strategy meetings discussing the looming threat. He gets back home, talks a bit with his confidant, and then gets shanked by people that had been planning for days/weeks.

Elias_Maluco posted:Jon & other NW members actually saw it happening. There is no way the NW could not know about it. They had just got back and a lot of people probably hadn't spoke about the horrors they saw yet. It's not like they had been back for weeks.

Elias_Maluco posted:The NW comes back with lots of casualities and some thousands opf wildlings and nobody had the idea of asking "WTF happened out there?". They did had time to set up the stabbing, Im inclined to believe there was more than enough time to ask Jon or any of the survivors about what they saw. The conspirators didn't give a gently caress about what happened while he was gone.

He doesn't give a gently caress about the book and isn't working appreciably towards finishing.

I'm glad they left him out of the show. Quintin Martell, too. There really arent too many people that were left out that I miss. Generally speaking, HBO has done a great job of telling the story without stupid tangents.

Austrian mook posted:Funny ppl say that Aegon and Quentyn are tangents, despite knowing nothing about the upcoming plot details The people that do know about the plot details decided it was better to not use them at all, though, meaning they are either irrelevant in the long run or easily assimilated into another character. Take Coldhands or Jeyne Poole, for example.

What do you mean there's indications that stannis will beat the boltons? The pink letter is all we have in the books and it looks like it was legit.

lifts cats over head posted:Did the show even mention all that valuable king's blood they wasted when they executed Mance? Looking back I think they should have had them execute him for some magical purposes but Jon's sympathy arrow ruins the process. Mance is a false king. His blood is useless as he's just a common man.

Stannis had no intentions of returning to Castle Black. Why would he leave his child and wife behind if he wasn't going back?

So It Goes posted:It would've helped if the show actually bothered to have establishing shots of a blizzard decimating his army or something. Instead, we had discussions in tents about it being cold and then Ramsey's team of magical teleporting fire ninjas destroyed "all" the food (again not shown, just the aftermath). Alternatively, if they didn't give Stannis the scene earlier in the season establishing without a doubt that he did care about his daughter, then you could maybe buy that he was just a terrible person. Instead, you get scenes in a tent where people say its cold and food is gone and Stannis is like, welp, better burn the daughter that I was established as legitimately caring for. It was such a wet fart of an arc. Like, I kinda get what the show creators were trying to go for, but the actual execution of the arc was just terrible. Pretty similar to Dorne in some ways. I feel like last season could have been improved a lot if the show wasn't forced to make yearly deadlines. They have a couple of scenes with Davos and Stannis talking about how dire their predicament is.

Its very hard because most nerds can't act. Actors are generally shallow empty people that take direction and can put on any face well. Their job isn't to understand or know what someone's backstory is. Rather they're supposed to say lines in exact way the director wants them to.

Apoplexy posted:Nope, just watched that episode. I can't speak to book bran, but show bran seems to be done with anything going on south of the wall family or otherwise at that point. He has the chance to see Jon, and instead chooses to deliberately not talk to him because it will pull him from his quest. The fact that his oldest brother and father are dead is irrelevant. He died when he fell. His only purpose right now is to seek the raven.

I had to go look it up. At the royal breakfast in season 4 episode 2 cersei points out shae to tywin. Tywin asks that she be brought to the tower of the hand before the wedding. He absolutely knew who she was and it's silly to think otherwise.

Varys' motivation is hard to suss out sometimes because he acts upon both his own wills and the will of the current king he serves. Like in season 4 Tyrion asks Varys to lie for him, and Varys says that he'll do no such thing because any lie from him to those in power is basically his own death. Regardless of his support for Dany or Viserys, he was bound by keeping his own head on his shoulders that he execute King Robert's orders.

The targs killed off a ton of people just 300 years ago plus the countless wars before it that would certainly thin out the herd.

Quentyn or Arianne making an appearance? Darkstar? Faegon? I misspoke. I don't think they killed him. I didn't actually read the script though and just went off of what she said to Doran.
