Shanahammer Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Yeah, really don't get why the cut the Tysha talk. That was the last thing Tyrion needed to become a kinslayer, projecting his love for her onto Shae doesn't fit that well. I guess we don't get him asking "Where do whores go?" ? Zombie Cat would have been great, but I guess we need one of these shocker moments for early 5th season, as we now jump into the dry parts of the series. Even if we combine AFFC and ADWD. Cersei messing up King's Landing in Feast was more entertaining to me, than Dany and Jon sitting on their asses in Dance, both is rather dry content though. I forgot to add that too. That's just unforgivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High and Wide Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/25/game-of-thrones-lady-stoneheart-michelle-fairley_n_5530215.html Unfortunately for Fairley, and for the fans, it looks like Catelyn Stark is staying where she is: six feet under. Fairley spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the omission of her character in the finale of Season 4 and all but confirmed she won't be returning to the fantasy series. "Yeah, the character?s dead. She?s dead," Fairley said. The actress went on to defend the option to leave out her character's arc in Season 4. ----------------------- So... why is Brienne still alive then?

Fuhgeddaboudit Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 "Yeah, the character’s dead. She’s dead," Fairley said. I'm still having hope that she meant this in a totally different way to give the show watchers a twist. Lady Stoneheart really is dead...maybe that's what she meant. We'll see when we check IMDB next season and whether or not Michelle is listed as a character in the episode or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 With the presumably gruesome appearance, they could probably switch actresses if they need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High and Wide Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/09/03/bran-stark-game-of-thrones-season-5/?hootPostID=08a191d3227d9189659a0bb4ff6b946f There are no current plans to include Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) and Hodor (Kristian Nairn) in season 5 of the HBO fantasy hit. The move ditches Bran and Hodor now that they?ve reached Bran?s three-eyed crow mentor, which is nearly as far as the characters have progressed in George R.R. Martin?s novels. For the fifth season of the series, producers are going to a new Westeros country ? Dorne, which will be shot in Spain ? and adding some new characters. Leaving behind Bran will give the show more time to spend with the new characters, and some time for the other storylines to catch up to Bran?s (as well as for Martin potentially to release his next book in the saga, The Winds of Winter). So I guess this means that they are staying true to the chronological order of AFFC and ADWD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 I mean, what choice do they have? They progressed Bran's story well ahead of the time frame in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I mean, what choice do they have? They progressed Bran's story well ahead of the time frame in the books. I suspect they did that because the actor is aging too rapidly to hold off until the natural chronology. He was already looking older than he should be with the rush job.

Phil Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Yup, makes sense to me. It also puts more emphasis on whatever comes of that story, because the Bran we will see when he does return will probably be a total surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Dreamer Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 So is Mance dead now or did they still manage to switch him somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Good question. Sure looks like he's dead, but did anyone get a look at his wrist? Wasn't that how Melisandre managed the switch, with some jewel or ruby or whatever on his wrist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Can't remember lol, has been too long, but good point. Would give a nice reason for the reactions redbeard showed us. (yeah I too forget names, burn me :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Can't remember lol, has been too long, but good point. Would give a nice reason for the reactions redbeard showed us. (yeah I too forget names, burn me :P) I always mix up their names. Sticks and stones, or some shit like that. Bone breaker. Jaw crusher. Rat fucker. Whatever his name is. VF seems to think he's been killed off in the spirit of "efficiency" though: So why did Dan Weiss and David Benioff decide to bump off Mance on the show? Well, for a number of reasons. First of all, it’s pretty clear that the mission statement of this season is “efficiency.” I’m a huge fan of the books, but if you’ll forgive me for saying so, Martin’s fourth and and fifth novels could have used a lot of editing. That’s essentially what Weiss and Benioff are doing here. They’ve obviously gotten rid of the whole plot with Mance Rayder’s baby (so, apparently, that book story line doesn’t pay off in a significant way), and without that plot there isn’t a real reason to keep Mance around. Except, of course, for the part about him training Jon. That relationship is actually pretty lovely in the books. But it hasn’t been translating very well on screen, has it? That’s no fault of Hinds, who is a brilliant actor. But those long scenes with Mance and Jon in various snowy tents haven’t really been landing. Their scene in the cell delivered tonight, though, and that’s because their conversation had very real stakes. But, more importantly, the way Jon treated Mance here, and the leadership he showed in stepping up and firing that mortal arrow, went a long way towards rehabilitating a character that has never come across as well onscreen as it did in the books. http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/04/does-mance-rayder-die-in-the-books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRangers92 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Anyone think there is significance to Maggy the Frog not mentioning the Valonqar? Also Maggy bore zero (except for female) similarities to Maggy from the book. Couldve sworn she was some old and ugly woman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Good episode last night, pretty telling depending on how you believe the show will progress. Jon refusing to accept the Stark name and Varys bringing Tyrion to Mereen - and inevitably Dany - basically confirms the theories that both Jon and Tyrion (moreso than Jon) are Targaryens, unless Aegon truly did escape the Baratheon slaughter and will be introduced at some point.

H-Dreamer Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Really though the Nightswatch election wasn't done well. Liked it better when Jon was the compromise in a stalemate, cleverly arranged by Sam. Now it's just a cheesy speech and a Maester voting late for Showeffect.

Phil Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 I thought that was a great compromise to an angle in the book that would have taken too long to play out. Probably wouldn't have had the same dramatic effect either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Maybe, but the Maester voting after all other votes were already counted and the race tied was unnecessary imo. Coupled with Jon declining to take the stark name, it shows him aligning with a Targaryen, supporting the idea that he's not Ned Stark's bastard, but Lyanna's. It was hugely necessary lol It's dramatic effect, yea, but it is also heavy foreshadowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
