The entire thing was quotable, but the Brock/taking the Mountain to Dorne made me actually chuckle aloud.

Yeah, get the Mountain* (who killed Elia and Oberyn) to Dorne. That guy should be a politician.

* Assuming that the Mountain is still alive. From the scene with that renegade master, seems that there will be the atory ark of Robert Strong.
 
Lambo might be a book reader. He is fantastic at deduction but seriously he is being correct on all his theories.

Mountain Zombie FFS.

he meant give them the mountain for the princess, that makes sense.

I've been directed to this post so I'll reply then quickly exit.

No I've only recently started the books, I'm near the end of 2 to be precise. I'm not sure what I've gotten right in the past, but I can't see the point in trying to fake guessing what's going on to ruin it for others. Besides the last we saw the Mountain he was being pumped full of dodgy looking stuff, it's not rocket science.

So now I guess that part is spoilered for me, though my missus would find it hilarious as she hates watching things with me as I can't help trying to work everything out :lol:
 
I'm glad Jamie is going to Dorn. Was worried he would be a bore this season stuck in King's Landing.

Dorn could be interesting.

Dorn is great.
 
I decided not to compare the show to the book so I can watch the show more relaxed. Watched the 2nd episode and it was decent.
Despite some new changes to the storyline (I'm doing it again).

Election scene was like - lets do it asap, it was a let down.
Jaime going to Dorne with Bronn... Aall right..
Brienne meeting Sansa and then killing all those knights.. All right..

Arya's story started all right.
And if someone could enlighten me, I dont remember from the books if Danny killed that guy after he killed son of a harpy or its that made up too?

All in all, I need to watch it without comparing. :)
 
I'd guess Allister might be the guy to back stab him in the TV show?

It will be that little shit of a kid who they keep showing. Nailed on.

Was thinking this too. I hope he doesn't chop off Allister's head though (instead of Slynt). Allister is a bit of a cnut but has some values, Slynt is just an awful man.

Haven't you seen Episode 3? Some cnut in my facebook feed spoiled episode 4 by saying there's a major twist. I can't get that out of my head while watching the current ones

Just saw it. It was done quite well.

On the other things, Natalie Dormer is fantastic. Probably the best actress in the show.

No Daenerys on this episode. Great!
 
Shut the feck up about leaked episodes. Jesus Christ.

Can't believe we've now reached a stage where Revan can spoil everything for book readers too.

I have neither watched, nor I am discussing the leaked episodes. Grow up.
 
I love these GoT threads. If book spoilers weren't enough to worry about, you now have leaked episodes to throw into the mix. :lol:

And, just to complicate things further, in a few years we'll have book readers who might choose to avoid the show if there's a risk it might ruin the books!

Good luck with that! I guess the only way to do so is to decide leaving somewhere where there is no electricity until Martin bother to write the books.
 
The Tommen and Margaery scene went a bit far for me. Isn't he half her age in real life?

I'm sure he was loving it, but it must've been fecking awful for Natalie Dormer to shoot.

He is 17 while she is 33, so basically yes.

I guess these scenes were behind the change of Tommen's age.
 
They're basically going to torture the shit out of Sansa in the show now aren't they? Basically confirmed it by having Ramsay promise the opposite.
 
So this latest episode. A few things that bugged me.

Varys should have noticed Jorah in ep. 3. Having the two be in the same place and Varys being clueless doesn't sit well with me. A poor rewrite on that part.

Fighting scene in the end. I thought this was HBO, not a Hollywood movie. It was really poor. What were rich people paying for? Only Greyworm did anything. There was no formation. The first Unsullied that was attacked was killed in seconds without being able to do anything. Didn't portray them well.

Other things were good. Dorne is coming along nicely. Some R+L stuff finally and Cersei setting herself up for failure. Very nice.
 
I'm glad a few things have changed It makes watching the show a little less predictable. At least there's something different to look forward to.
 
Grey Worm and Barristan can't be dead. If the greatest knight in the Seven Kingdoms dies to a bunch of rich people...

Dorne is going to irritate me. They've taken away one of the most complicated and intelligent characters in the series. Doran has played the long game pretty effectively in the books and has potential going forward in the story. Leaving him out of the machinations of the series is lame.
 
Thought the introduction of the sand snakes was fairly corny. Also, the unsullied are pretty shit for a supposedly brilliant army. They just did a weird jog into the middle of a trap and promptly fell to pieces.

Said it already in the leaked episode convo but it's nice that we can't be totally sure that someone like Barristan will survive anymore, it adds a bit of actual tension to those sort of fight scenes.

Show does seem to be setting up the R+L=J theory.

Yeah, shit load of obvious nods and then will confirm in S6, I'd assume they are waiting on GRRM to confirm himself in TWOW. He wouldn't let them blurt out such a big theory, no?

I've seen others point out that in the general season trailer Missandei is kissing Grey Worm's head whilst he lays; could be his death bed?

Could just as easily be his recuperation bed.

I'd be more worried about Barristan tbh. He's important in the books because we need someone to be our POV there when Dany isn't about but we obviously don't need that in the TV show. Killing him off would add a bit of weight to Dany's plotline.
