My hope is that we get a POV from a wight at some point in the books (pulling for Asha, no one else seems likely) that explains what wights are like.

3> 4 + 5 > 1 > 2 Look at all you idiots not using the combined read. Why they even sell them as two separate books anymore is beyond me.

I want to go back in time and tell GRRM to make barristan a POV, ADWD would have come out in like 2009.

Harold Stassen posted:You mean from the beginning? He has a couple POV chapters in ADWD. I've read before that making Barristan a POV was the key to solving the Meereenese Knot, since GRRM didn't know how to convey a good chunk of the action that was going on with the characters he had available. Once Barristan was a POV, he could show the coup and the decisions that led to the army riding out and loving up the Yunkai'i at the same time Victarion wades ashore. My theory is that he was resistant to adding another "going to be dead before the end of TWOW" POV character, but it was the only thing he could do ultimately.

Barristan's chapters are great because you get to see an old badass try to hold the contradictory positions of "the kingsguard does not interfere" and "uh those fuckers just tried to murder my queen, we need to do something". shame he's not going to live to see dany again

Book Hizdahr was a puppet of the Harpy (the Green Grace) who was actively trying to bring back slavery. Deposing him was the correct thing to do, regardless of how inept Barristan is at politics.

Kajeesus posted:Do we know that the Green Grace (Gelato Galore?) wants to reinstall slavery? I thought she was just really shirty about Dany deciding to cruelly execute 163 aristocrats at random. Well as soon as the marriage happens Hizdahr starts putting people more loyal to him and the old nobility in places where Dany's more anti-slavery people had been before, and they had been pushing bringing back slavery in all but name anyway (see the "selling yourself back into slavery" deal). We've already seen that the Yunkai'i reinstalled slavery when she wasn't an immediate threat, so with every day that goes by there's more chance that Hizdahr/his cronies open the gates to the lovely Yunkai'i army, have a big purge of the remnants of Dany's group, and it's back to business as usual in Slaver's Bay.

Solice Kirsk posted:The Sansa killing an Umber (or maybe a literal giant, we'll never know) is the weirdest part of her predictions. Maybe she'll take over the Vale then Winterfell and kill what ever Umber sided with Roose or something? Littlefinger's house sigil used to be the Titan of Braavos before he changed it to a mockingbird. Could definitely be predicting his downfall at her hands.

tin can made man posted:Elder Brother seems like such a small character for Ian McShane, but maybe he's getting Bad Pussy'd into a big role like Pod was. Also, I guess sandor being alive will be even more explicit in the show; to what end, I've no clue but D&D are big enough hacks to make cleganebowl an actual thing They'll probably roll him in with Septon Meribald so that he can do the Broken Men speech too.

I figure they're going to have Jon kill Olly to make us wonder if being dead has changed Jon for the worse, not realizing that nobody has ever had positive emotions about Olly.

webmeister posted:Wasn't it another Sand Snake scene? The one where they clumsily introduce themselves to each other, even though they're sisters? No because the theme for like half of the characters this season seems to be "please forget about what happened last season, here's them doing what they did in the books".

Demiurge4 posted:Dany's storyline just kinda peaked in Astapor. Her story was great until George couldn't figure out what to do with her until he was ready to bring her to Westeros. Well he has to establish that Dany deep down isn't interested in ruling, and the fake Targ has to steal her thunder too before she can get there so that she can be the Messiah figure to the world. Agreed that Meereen has been rough (although not as bad as it's yelled about).

Demiurge4 posted:That's literally the reason why it burned. So Dany has no choice but to take whatever devils bargain the iron islanders come up with. I still can't believe they gave Dany exactly as many ships as the Iron Fleet had only to decide "wait, actually we want the Iron Islands plot in the show" and torch them all.

GaussianCopula posted:Doesn't that even make sense from a timeline PoV? I reckon that they only announced her pregnancy last season when they had that really awkward dinner with Sansa and Ramsay and I don't see how 5-6 month (given that they don't have pregnancy tests I give them up to 4 month until they noticed/announced the pregnancy) have passed since then. In a show with Gilly's eternal baby, anything's possible.

Iron Islands scene gets a 9/10 with -.5 for Euron being 40 years younger than his brother and not having an eyepatch and -.5 for not happening in Season 4 Episode 1. Rest of the episode was alright although I'm starting to get really bored with King's Landing and Meereen. Let's just not get into invincible supervillain Ramsay's House of Horrors.

I feel like the best way to go would have been adapt Jaime's AFFC storyline last season, have him continually grow further from Cersei this season, meet Brienne for closure, and then ride off to (in vain) valonquar Cersei as she blows up Baelor and a chain reaction nukes the whole city. We could even get a tragic shot next season of Tyrion finding his sibling's scorched corpses next season!

What I'm gathering from this is that Rhaegar should be played by George Foreman in the Robert's Rebellion prequel.
