I think a lot of the reason that Sigur Ros is involved with this season is because they film in Iceland..Hopefully, we get Bjork in a future season

Since we're going 'round and 'round with the who-started-the-war-actually-for-real argument again, I guess I should bring up Lysa Arryn's secret letter to Cately where she falsely accuses the Lannisters of murdering Jon Arryn. Ya know, just to complicate things and muddy the waters. Littlefinger!

Hey guys it's ok to stop clutching your pearls. The show is an HBO production (in case you forgot), and they can put crucified kids on TV if they want . It's also a galvanizing moment for Dany - leaving it out would be kind of A Big Deal.

CapnAndy posted:Also, he's still rotting -- he's preserved by the cold, sure, but they make a big deal about how the blood pooling in his extremities is a thing he has to deal with, so it's not like he's getting magically kept whole. There's a time limit on how long ago he could have died that, I think, precludes it being the Night King or anyone truly ancient. Aren't other Wights described as having black hands?

jsoh posted:A bunch of fat stewards with daggers. The assassination is a clusterfuck. If ghost was there or literally anyone friendly to Jon they would have been cut down really fast. It's kind of interesting that Jon made the same fatal mistake his "brother" Robb made: failing to keep his pet direwolf at his side at all times despite being repeatedly counselled to not do that.

If Ghost was around, Jon wouldn't have been back-stabbed by his brothers like he was. Melissandre warned him multiple times that he was surrounded by enemies and to never go anywhere without his magical familiar. He choose not to follow her advice for...reasons that the narrative demanded. This choice allowed his enemies to get closer to him than was otherwise possible. Does this not at all remind you of the Red Wedding where Robb cages Grey Wind because he's freaking the gently caress out and attacking the Freys?

hobbesmaster posted:Stannis "kills" Robb depending on how much faith you put in leeches and fire. I really don't think it's that literal. I think it's symbolism along the lines of Houses Stark and Baratheon are going to destroy each other. Also, I think at that point in the novels, Melissandre's powers were more limited. Yes, she (or Stannis, w/e) did use magic to kill Renly and Cortnay Penrose, but I'm pretty sure she merely saw the deaths of Robb, Joffrey, and Balon Greyjoy dying in her fires and then used that foreknowledge to manipulate Stannis with a bullshit leech ritual.

Didn't GRRM admit in an interview or a commentary that not giving Robb any POV chapters or not having any POV characters with him during his campaign in the Westerlands was a huge mistake? Seems like a pretty good answer to me.

I thought the one of the big motivations for Balon Greyjoy invading the North was to take revenge on Ned Stark putting down his rebellion and basically ending the traditional Ironborn way of life: reaving. I think there is even a line about there being such a lack of thralls that the Ironborn themselves have to debase themselves and sow crops and work in the mines.

Narmi posted:Aemon said that the dragons are genderless. Maybe he means they're intersex or just missing sexual organs at birth, then develop into a gender later somehow, in which case a difference in gender might explain their behaviour. Gender and sex are not interchangeable synonyms  . Gender is a human social construct.

Mike N Eich posted:A little earlier I saw the thread was discussing the inconsistency with the Ironborn and the "Iron price" and I was just paging through CoK and came across a curious bit. Tyrion comes across a letter from Balon Greyjoy proposing an alliance with the Lannisters as long as they recognize his independence and his supremacy over the North. But, uh, what? Balon carries on this long held grudge against the Starks and the forces that smashed his first rebellion, but not the """Baratheons""" (false as Joffrey may be) holding the Iron Throne? And any sort of alliance in the first place seems very anti-Iron Price. I don't know this just seemed odd to me, and I don't know if it gets mentioned again. I think it's a simple case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The focus of his ire is directed at the Starks because Ned led the forces that crushed the Greyjoy Rebellion, killed his sons, and took his remaining son hostage. Also, I don't think the Iron Price ever applied to anything as complex kingdoms at war.

Bacon Drew posted:Him being Coldhands doesn't really make sense since Coldhands is old as gently caress. If he does turn back up Stannis is probably going to try and make him Lord of Winterfell though. No one knows for sure how old Coldhands is supposed to be. People have speculated that he's really old because the Child of the Forest (Leaf?) told Bran that the Others "killed him a long time ago." Bran has never seen his face, so he could very well be Benjen. IMO I think it's a really dumb conclusion to jump to just because someone made a post that the Children of the Forest live a really long time ergo Coldhands can't be Benjen.

It's almost as if there is a reason that Bran has yet to see Coldhands' face (because GRRM doesn't want to spoil the mystery just yet).

Agreed. The fate of Benjen is one of the series' earliest mysteries (I think it was first mentioned in Jon's third or fourth chapter in A Game of Thrones) that has yet to be resolved, and GRRM is really into Chekov's Gun.
