ASoIAF/Game of Thrones general Discussion Thread

Now that the show has almost overtaken the books, it makes sense that they would do some flashback only episodes.

[Charellia]

I found a site that listed a few more roles.

•Leading Actress, in her early 40’s, she’s an elegant actress with a traveling theatre company. Fun, charismatic, rum-drinking actress in the troupe.
•Priestess. Mid-20’s to early 30’s. Any ethnicity- she’s beautiful, intense, and magnetic.
•Fierce Warrior, a tall man in 30’s or 40’s with a powerful physique. They’re looking for someone with “mixed ethnicity” for the role.

Okay, I have no idea who the first two could be. Septa Lemore perhaps? Nah, I don't think so. Maybe just someone in Cersei's story.

Fierce warrior, mixed ethnicity. So he's either Dornish or an Essosi. Darkstar, is that you? Probably not, but a man can hope.

Seriously, unless ADWD, stay much out.->

I actually believe these could be related to the Other Dragon. Last one could be darkstar, though it could be (Old) Griff, considering the Stormlands quite mix with Dorne and Griff was concealing his ID. Not sure how much it would conflict with the description of that character, but Septa Lemore is very plausible and the other one could be some custom character for the show in that plot.

Other choice I see are additions to the Meribal Plot. And the priestes seems also similar to the Green Graces?

Old Griff is unlikely to appear, since Jorah seems to have taken over his role.

SO...

Who got Gryff Whitehill maimed? I did and don't regret it a bit

I didn't.

But that ending.

I didn't.

But that ending.

Since we have already seen that Mira Forresteresque character in the background of a scene in Season 5, I would actually like Ramsay mentioning some Forrester he killed (maybe related to the northerners marching with Stannis) or maybe Ludd Whitehull in the background of some scene. Would be awesome, and increase our hate for Ramsay.

Assuming they don't cut out Stannis' Northerner Squad.

Thanks for putting that in a spoiler tag.

Uh would you mind spoilering talk of the latest episode please? Some people such as my self and Vozt have not played it yet.

Spoiler tag that shit.

To be honest I'm not the biggest fan of this latest storyline. There's too much throwing of queens into the dungeons. And by guys in robes too with religious authority as ''punishment'' (they may as well wear masks). There's a slightly inappropriate air to this. I suspect there's a scene that's been cut where the Sparrows make the Tyrell Queen do stuff (I wouldn't be surprised) given the gritty style of the directors.

Also, the Jaime story has thus far been going nowhere. It's way too slow. There better be some major pay-off for him in the last three episodes.

I sure hope the last three episodes do get us somewhere.

[The Nuclear Fist]

Calling it now: This season is building up to a massive cliffhanger.

"Stuff" as in kinky stuff?

...nah, it's GOT, not American Horror Story.

I think he was implying rape.

[Baltenstein]

Considering the Sparrows have so far been portrayed as one of the few factions who aren't hypocrites - which is exactly what is making them so dangerous - a rape scene would somewhat undermine that.

Yeah, that was the other thing I consider him as meaning, which I'd say the same thing to.

I actually like the show High Sparrow portrayal after last episode. He encompasses both the extreme good and extreme evil of Abrahamic religions IRL.

Yeah, they don't strike me as the rapey types.

They always do that.

I do believe they didn't do it in at least one season.

By the way, where did the Blackfish go? He's been missing for two seasons now. Shouldn't he, like, do stuff? Organize resistance against the Freys, avenge his family etc? Same goes for the Greatjon Umber, though I suppose he was captured and executed by the Freys (I don't know if he's been mentioned to be present at the Red Wedding though).

[The Jonathanian States]

Finally came around to watching the last episode...

It's nice that Cersei's development finally happened.
I found it amusing how little screen time Jon had compared to Sam, and am not quite sure what I think of the latter's plot.
Also, they changed Aemon's death. I really hope they don't cut out Gilly and his trip to Braavos, but I expect it to be cut now.

Unless I'm mistaken it is mentioned that he's in Frey and/or Lannister captivity after he indeed attended the Red Wedding, and that that is also the reason for how the Umbers act in that last book.

In the Books he was not there and instead Held Riverrun for a while before escaping as the castle surrendered, its not known where he is since then.

In the Books he did indeed attend but Roose Bolton mentioned in the aftermath that he escaped and that his whereabouts are also unknown

[Ontorisa]

Aww, Tommen, you're so cute when you're trying to get Margs back.

True, True, the Blackfish held Riverrun. Looking at my post, now I noticed that except for that semi-hint regarding the Umbers I didn't mention at all that I was actually speaking solely about the Greatjon.

He did? Mhm..... might be I'm mixing him up with a different northern lord then.

Whoops meant in the show for the second part, not the books.

[Herskerstad]

I am enjoying the Game of Thrones game on steam now.

Props to all the others who got a certain Whitehill trader to become red with anger.
