Someone posted some poo poo adding on to those spoilers but I don't think that bit is real. For instance they said Arya comes back from executing Littlefinger and finds Sansa dying from a stab wound. I don't think Littlefinger would have Sansa killed even she was having him executed.

Dorne was just kinda boring rather than cheesy in the books and it has the same problem with almost everything in the past two books, plans are being set in motion but there's very little payoff.

Dear god it's even worse than I thoughtquote:And yes, before someone asks, I AM STILL WORKING ON WINDS OF WINTER and will continue working on it until it's done. I will confess, I do wish I could clone myself, or find a way to squeeze more hours into the day, or a way to go without sleep. But this is what it is, so I keep on juggling. WINDS OF WINTER, five successor shows, FIRE AND BLOOD (that's the GRRMarillion, remember?), four new Wild Cards books, some things I can't tell you about yet... it's a good thing I love my work He's working on all 4 spinoffs plus the new one he just announced and 4 wild cards books.

Oh and he said none of the projects are Robert's Rebellion (Because it will be covered in the books that are never going to come out) or Dunk and Egg (because he doesn't want to get passed by the show again on a side project).

The last 2 episodes of this season are super long at 71 and 81min. So we're basically getting 7 episodes but the runtime of the season will be more like 8 episodes.

banned from Starbucks posted:We still somehow need to get that one sword from the ToJ flashback too. I think that was valyrian steel at least the show didnt really make a big deal out of it tho. I think the fact that they included Dawn in the show was just a nod to bookreaders and not something they're going to focus on later. And like someone else said, whatever its significance is going to be the books, it's not Valyrian steel.

Usually not coming from the show though. I hope we get some real shocking moments in S8 because this season seems short on them. I guess we still have the 3rd 'holy poo poo' moment to look forward to that the showrunners talked about.

Beric's definitely not Azor Ahai in the books since he's dead. I don't know why they included the whole flaming sword bit with Beric but didn't let Stannis have Lightbringer.

Characters are more consistent in the books than they are in the show. They don't suddenly just do something out of character because the plot calls for it, though to some degree that's just TV writing for you. I prefer the books by far but it seems like we're never getting any more of those so....

So is Arya's arc just becoming an assassin + getting revenge on the houses that wronged her family? I can't imagine how face changing or assassination skills would be useful against the Others. Then again if Sam killed one maybe Arya can too.

GRRM said something interesting in the TIME article today. He said, and who knows how true it is in the show, that people resurrected by red priests aren't so much resurrected as reanimated. They don't have flowing blood or even a heartbeat. He even called them wights. So basically the only difference between Jon and some rando skeleton from the Night's King army is that he still has his memories.

Yeah I mean we probably could have done with less scenes of Tyrion hanging out with Missandei and Grey Worm and a few more of people reacting to the fact that giants are real and Jon was resurrected.

I'm curious what Beric's role is in the story going forward. They had to have some significant reason for bringing him back after so long, and he's permanently dead in the books and I can't think of anyone who's story he could be taking over so...

Man how ADD are young people these days that something that gets 5 minutes of screentime bores them enough to comment on. In 50 years shows will just be montages of murder and loving to keep people's attention.

I don't think there was any 'implication' to that scene other than the fact that they were Lannister soldiers and she briefly sized them up before deciding not to kill them. I kinda doubt she will see them again and something else will cause her to abandon her list, probably seeing Nymeria again which seems to be backed up by the very brief preview of episode 2 we got. The last time we saw Nymeria was in the Riverlands and that's where Arya is now. We definitely know at some point she runs into Nymeria this season.

Maybe it'll be a good show but I'm not sure right now is the best time for it culturally. It just seems lovely to launch a show like that in a time where white supremacy and confederate symbolism are a big concern.

I imagine a whip could be a pretty decent decent weapon in certain circumstances, unfortunately a giant brawl where everyone is wearing armor isn't one of them.

kater posted:The hot pie scene ruled and I found it pretty touching but it was kind of confusing. Like arya didn't think Jon was dead did she? The only thing really different is he's few miles south. She's got no reason to distrust the nights watch does she? The only one she knew kicked total rear end. No but she was surprised to hear that Winterfell had been retaken by Jon.

I think some of this stuff will be at least partially addressed soon. Tyrion has secret negotiations with Jaime at some point to try to resolve things bloodlessly.

JBP posted:But she thinks it will be somehow different when she lays siege and doesn't force her way into KL? Okay, so she literally said the opposite of the thing you've complaining about in an episode 3-4 days ago and now you're moving the goalposts. If you're going to complain about the show's writing at least watch the drat show.

Jeb! Repetition posted:I think that's how GRRM intended it though, GRRM even said in an interview that the church of the Seven is the same kind of mixed bag as the Catholicism it's based on because they're repressive but do want to help the poor folk at the same time. There's no real strong moralistic angle to the sparrows in the books. They're just pissed off the nobility have hosed up Westeros.

They probably never planned on keeping Ros around. There have been a couple subsequent interviews in recent years that make me think it was Emilia Clarke that wanted her nude scenes cut down.

The books don't really have clear timelines either, there are weird timeskips and overlaps between POVs. Jaime and Brienne's encounter with Stoneheart is going to span 3 books even though technically all of it has already happened by the end of ADWD.

Cornflakes posted:I liked that scene in Season 1 where Arya was in the basement of the Red Keep and overheard the conversation between Varys and Ilyrio. Whatever happened to that guy? I think they couldn't get the actor back so they just kinda wrote him out of his joint Fire & Blood scheme with Varys.

Decius posted:For the big battle between the Night King and the humans/Rhollor looming there are drat few Red Priests in Westeros helping. Mel hosed off to Essos, Thoros dies next week. Apparently they don't give a poo poo about the big purpose of their religion? Melisandre said she'd be back one last time. I don't remember where I read it but someone speculated she was going to come back with some small army of Rhllor's chosen elite that was mentioned in the books and that's right up the show's alley. Everyone will forget about her and next season when the fight is about to be lost she'll show up with 1000 fire mages and turn the tide.

Tyrion was originally supposed to meet a god in the Sorrows but GRRM ended up scrapping it to keep religion/magic in the series more ambiguous.
