Game Of Thrones (spoilers)

[joe]

I read an interview with the producers and they said they'll deviate from the books with lesser characters dying because it doesn't have a profound effect on the story and yet watchers don't simply feel they're getting a live enactment of the books.

Them being alive in the books creates more possibilities for the books, but doesn't void Fred's point that the books can end up where the series does. Really as long as 3-5 main characters live, maybe even with just the 3 heads of the dragon, the endings can be the same in the truly important respects.

As far as I can tell, there's nothing that has happened in the show that is contradicted by the books. Things are not exactly the same, but I believe there's nothing from the books that will prevent them from getting exactly where the show is.

Yep, and if Fred's point was about the overall end point being the same, I agree. Was more clarifying that there are contradictions between the two.

I enjoyed the new season, and am happy to treat it as a separate entity from the books. I think you can draw some inferences from the show like that

Spoiler

nothing of consequence will happen to Arya in Bravos, even if (hopefully) we don't get a terminator-esque chase scene with the Waif.

What would really be wild would be for the 3 heads of the dragon not to be the same. Minds will explode.

The three heads are ... drum roll please - Podrick, Jorah Mormount, and Zombie Stannis the Mannis

If it's Pod, then we finally learn what Lightbringer was referring to!!!

A dragon with grey scale would fulfill the AA stone dragon prophecy.

Confirmed.

 

[kylelovescrayons]

Yup and Stannis is THE Lord of Light! AZOR AHAI BITCHEZZZ

Confirmed.

I read this theory a long time back that there is a dragon sleeping under Winterfell. That's what keeps its hot springs warm (there were other references to parts of the book that might also reference the dragon, but it's been so long since I read it I forget what exactly they were). And Bran will eventually wake it.

That was the strategy this season. Less episodes. But longer episodes. I thing we actually get more screen time then other seasons. But condensed over a shorter period of time.

I enjoyed the first one, but this is definitely better, strengthen by the music last heard during the epic opening scene from the season six finale, "The Winds of Winter."

 

[The Toe]

Prob the best TV trailer I've seen. Of note:

-Jaime in the Field of Fire 2.0
-Tormund vs. White Walker
-Bran gets a wheelchair
-Beric Dondarrion lighting his sword up

 

[roxfontaine]

I can't wait for this!
