HBO's Game of Thrones. [No Book Spoilers]

[the real god emperor]

Actor who played Ned Stark did a well job tbh, his face when Reed stabs Dayne is what you'd expect from him, it is wrong to him but it needed to be done.

Disappointed that Arthur Dayne didn't have the famous greatsword.

Bran got too surprised when the most renowned fighter in Westeros was better than his father kek, he always told them if it wasn't Howland Reed he'd die I don't get why he gets too surprised.

Also what the fuck North was supposed to be land of honor and shit all the Lords became my old friends wtf

[Overdriven]

All the lords that are left are pretty much the pond scum floating to the top.

Also who was the other kingsguard and why weren't all three there? It's either Whent or Hightower.

The best thing is....I'd swear that just yesterday it said he was Oswell Whent, they changed it during the night.....

[Moncho]

"Your friend, the Usurper, would lie beneath the ground if we had been" is what they changed it to. A more modern version, woe would sound weird when said aloud. I don't dislike the change. A shame that they cut the rest of that exchange, but completely understandable, and show watchers wouldn't understand most of it (Who would remember Ser Willem, or Aerys (mad king), Lord Redwyne and the siege, etc)
They also mentioned Hightower in the council scene, as Lord Commander who stood in the Council meetings.
About the lack of Whent, I guess a 7-3 or a 6-2 doesn't make that much difference on the screen, just some extra dead extras, and 6v2 is easier to choreograph. Shame because I find House Whent quite cool, with Harrenhal, its curse and tournament, the (retarded) winged bat helmet.
And about the North, we yet have to see the Mormonts or the Manderlys reappear, and it could be the final climb before the fall for Reek Snow. And Davos was seen travelling in the trailer.

[Oberyn]

Over the years there's been so much speculation about that scene in the books that it's ascended to mythical status, with far-reaching answers that solve a big part of the plot (R+L=J). As close as it was to the books, I can't help but feel it falls short, like so many other iconic moments they did in the shows. It's just book fanboy bundle of sticksry, I know. Like those Tolkien fans who loathe the LOTR movie trilogy and felt it should've been at least 9 movies to do it justice.

holy shit, MUUUUUUUUUUUH 720NOSCOEP DUAL WIELD. no dawn so lame ):

[Jona]

Technically he had Dawn, it just wasn't an impressive greatsword cuz leet hollywood dual wielding skillz took precedence over accuracy.

[Xant]

Dual wielding is superior against multiple opponents, so sayeth Musashi.

[Asheram]

If only crpg had dual wield

[the real god emperor]

so does this mean they are not going with Jon being a Targeryan like alot have been speculating on? Because if they are going to still write him to be a Targeryan then it would have been better if they burned him so he didn't become a Wight and then have him rise from the ashes.

Targaryens get effected by fire, though. Viserys got burned by gold and even Daenerys stated he wasn't a real Dragon because he got burned down

(click to show/hide)

and if theories are correct and Jon is Targaryen even then, he got burned by the gas lamp when he saved Lord Commander Mormont from the Wight.

It is just special to Daenerys as far I observe, she enters the hot water without not so much feeling the heat, walks through fire and shit like that.

Seems my theory about rickon was wrong 

Or as said previously it's a random wolf yada yada or Rickon is basically fucked

I posted what you said as a reply to you earlier heh but I changed it as it doesn't really change your theory because Sansa's wolf is dead and she is still alive. Or it could just be that Sansa is fucked too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaggy_dog_story

"In its original sense, a shaggy dog story is an extremely long-winded anecdote characterized by extensive narration of typically irrelevant incidents and terminated by an anticlimax or a pointless punchline.

Shaggy dog stories play upon the audience's preconceptions of joke-telling. The audience listens to the story with certain expectations, which are either simply not met or met in some entirely unexpected manner.[1] A lengthy shaggy dog story derives its humour from the fact that the joke-teller held the attention of the listeners for a long time (such jokes can take five minutes or more to tell) for no reason at all, as the end resolution is essentially meaningless."


Rickon's plot is totally pointless and always has been. Or it would be hilarious if it was, I dunno though. Seems like a clever fuck you by GRRM.
