THE GAME OF THRONES/ASOIAF SPOILER THREAD (WARNING: SPOILERS)

I don't understand this twilight-related youtube video embed, was it meant for this thread?

lol jeez I got busted.

Didn't watch the video, what was it about?

I was surprised mance mentioned that magg the giant was the last of his line, I thought wildlings didn't care about bloodlines

I thought it's been established pretty well that Mance is kind of weird compared to most Wildlings

(because he's former Night's Watch)

He puts his toilet paper roll with the lead facing in rather than out, for example xp

Didn't watch the video, what was it about?

It was a song called "Heart of Stone."

theme ready to go

yeah i remember in seasons past when they made the tyrion-shae relationship seem more reciprocal wondering if it was going to make it that more devastating at the end or if it would kinda ruin it and i think it turned out the latter.

Tywin scene on the other hand I loved.

I see what you did there.

i think the show dudes are actively fucking with the book crowd by this point so it is hard to read that piece with graves and take anything from it. but it is cool, when you are in this situation where you have a demographic among your audience who are sure they know what's coming, keeping them off balance is a great trick and v much in the spirit of the show itself.

isn't Graves the guy who didn't realise he directed a rape scene

lol jeez I got busted.

etc etc

You know Shakey's meltdown on the other thread has got me thinking, the Others can swim right?

Like the dudes who Jon Snow sends to save the wildlings at Eastrock or Eastwatch or w/e that is send a message to Jon Snow (I think) that there are 'white walkers in the water' or something like that

Or is it that the Others infected dolphins and whales and maybe lobsters and crabs too

dont fuck w my lobsters warning u

I was disappointed by treeman, did not expect him to be so human looking. I had zero problems with the skeleton fight, they looked good.

also, I really like show Qyburn

IIRC this was the storyboard for that scene, not sure what happened on the path to being filmed

LOLLLLLLL.

This part I don't remember clearly, but I do know that any time the Walkers are approaching, the ambient temperature drops dramatically, so maybe they're icing over the seawater and walking on top?

dude in the tree was like pre-special effects jabba in og star wars. no money left i guess. also thought the skellies were cool, nice homage and let's face it, those dudes have the most ad&d storyline so what do you expect? ppl are ok with cool dragons i guess but get rattled at other reminders that this is some lord of the rings shit. fyi dragons are the worst.

v sorry for any minds blown by my dragon reality check

Shakey's meltdown

hyperbolize much

"To this point, the world of the story has been expanding. More characters, more worlds, more story lines. But we've reached the middle of the story, more or less, and Season 4 is where the expansion seems to end, which feels appropriate," executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss say in an e-mail. "We don't have stasis, which tends not to work so well in storytelling. That leaves contraction. Which means that characters, worlds and story lines will converge in surprising ways that would be much less surprising if we said anything about them."

Yep, they're really going to have to start majorly diverging from the books...

Maybe John Connington will be an interesting character now.

its so ad&d the child of the forest was casting magic missile

"the first men called us the children but really we are old"

ok good thx 4 info

maybe that's always bugged them

we look young for our age but we are cool we like to party

season 4 trial drama: "I mean if you think about it technically the children were abusing the first men..."

law & mordor

Kinda morbid wish is that I hope they give Aemon a good death in the show before Peter 'Grouty' Vaughan has to stop appearing for any reason. So great to see pros over 90 in shows this big.

not to mention actual targaryens!

law & mordor

Law & Hodor, surely?

HO-DOR, dun-dun dun-dun-DUUUUUN.

its so ad&d the child of the forest was casting magic missile

This is a GOT spoiler thread, not an NBA spoiler omg.

you have to admit the resemblance is a little hmm.

There are like a million threads I could put this on but I'll do it here for the GoT aspects

Think Mance-in-deep is another example, had him pegged as a Kurtz until we met him

Wondering if we'll ever see a powerful faction that isn't headed by Westerosi or ex-Westerosi

Wow. I want an entire episode edited in that style

GRRM's response to anyone who says he won't complete the series:
