HAPPY GAME OF THRONES DAY!

[TasteTheRainbow 8,726]

FYI:

Tonight's episode leaked early. Avoid the Internet for the next 8 hours! Someone actually knows this stuff.

My uninformed bet is on Loras and/or the High Sparrow.

[Robin Graves 6,054]

Might be a bit to soon for the sparrow. (but I want him to die soooooo bad.)

 

Also Ramsey is shaping up to be the main bad guy (in the tv series) so I'm givving him beter than 2/1 odds.

(And I still can't play house Bolton in the LCG!)

[FTS Gecko 24,135]

Yeah, I should probably adjust that. I maintain that Ramsey's not long for the realm, but as the odds are on a who's next basis they should probably be higher

[Robin Graves 6,054]

Any idea who's gonna bump him of? Sansa? The other Stark character I won't name because of spoilers? Brienne? Altough I'm secretly hoping Aria will one day pop up, go "What you did to my familiy..." and tear Ramsey a new one.

I kind of hope it's his dogs.

[FTS Gecko 24,135]

Would love Theon to finally take a bloody revenge, but at the moment pretty much the entire North wants Ramsey dead. I'm thinking he goes down raging under a mob of Northern swords.

Ghost ripping him a new one would work as well.

That was brutal.

Ok what did he do this time? Don't tell me! Still have to watch ep 5! But whenever I see "  " or "brutal" I'm assuming it's Ramsey doing effed up stuff.

Ah Ok. Guess I'll see for myself tomorrow. *braces oneself*

[TasteTheRainbow 8,726]

Overheard by a friend at work:

"I'm pissed off Jaime didn't push bran off that tower harder."

[FTS Gecko 24,135]

Well.

That was unexpected.

Well... Now I know why he's called Hodor.

No way Jorah dies yet. There's got to be a reason for someone to have greyscale in both the book and show.

Benjen, Lansel, Loras an the High Sparrow are my bets for the week.

Benjen is the most likely IMO.

[FTS Gecko 24,135]

Remind me; what happened with Loras in the books?

 

Also was I the only one who took Kinvara's words to Varys "if you're a true friend of Daenerys, you have nothing to fear from me" with a capital I and F?  It seemed like a threat, and casting doubts on Varys loyalties...

Edited May 24, 2016 by FTS Gecko

[TasteTheRainbow 8,726]

Loras is supposedly lying half-dead and half-burned at Dragonstone after storming Dragonstone to defeat the few remaining Stannis loyalists there. I doubt this is actually true. I think the Tyrell's are just lying to Cersei.

I think Varys loyalty is beyond question, but I think she was suggesting his judgment isn't always spot-on. It'll be interesting how Dawnerys sorts all that out.

[Timathius 2,152]

Well George also said that the showrunners really missed on not putting the two other Tyrells in. Hopefully this means that the tyrells still have a big part to play besides being used by Cersei to get rid of the faith. 

 

FTS what are the odds that Cersei burns KL to the ground?

[TheBlueMax 79]

Bran needing help, I hope it's one of my favorite book characters that hasn't appeared yet.

Kevan Lannister?  I think all the Small Council are all in serious danger of losing their heads. Once the Sparrow's out of the way, she'll be gunning for the people making her life difficult...

No, she burns ALL of Kings Landing to the ground. Jaime stops the mad king from doing it only for his own sister to enact it. 

[TasteTheRainbow 8,726]

I kind of hope the show doesn't spoil his identity and just says he is Benjen.

Yeah....Jorah doesn't have it in the books.  That's the stupid part of the show.  They cut out a whole character and sub-plot with that.  

 

Remember that greyscale was created once Valyria conquered the River People on the mainlands.  Nymria was the only ruler to get away and she landed at Dorne.  The king of that one beautiful city was hung in a cage while they looted it.  The king called a curse down on everything.  It ruined the city and caused greyscale.  

 

Also, when Melisandre saw Stannis' daughter (who recovered from greyscale), she flipped out and wanted her killed.  Said how she was an abomination.  There was also some rambling from Stannis' jester about greyscale, too.  Something not right about the disease.  So, it could be something really cool.

 

I'm once again disappointed with how the show handled some things.  The whole King's Moot on the Iron Isles is one.  The book is so much cooler when he shows up with that magic horn that controls dragons from Valyria.  I mean, are they just going to take that part out?  The book is also so much cooler with the King dying and then the brother's ships showing up after he dies.  You know he's involved in the death, but it's mysterious and you don't know how.  He doesn't admit it.  

 

Will Hodor be dead in the books?  I'm not sure as the tv show has killed off all sorts of people in the tv show that are still alive in the books.  I'm not convinced he's really dead in the books.  

 

What's the whole deal with Arya?  They are doing it so weird in the tv show than the book.  What's with all these "failed chances" that she's supposed to do stuff?  And why is she out to kill the actress when in the books she joins them to learn more skills?  The whole story with her is so much cooler in the books.  I just don't get it.  

 

Someone else died, I think, that died stupid.  I can't recall who, but I just remember thinking "Why are they killing off these people?".  I mean, GRR Martin kills off people.  I'm fine with that, but the tv show just kills off people for no reason.
