This is precisely the type of thing to illustrate why I fucking hate GoT nerds. It's hard to put it into words, so I can just share this video from now on. Thanks for linking the content!
"She glimpsed the shadow of a great wolf, and another like a man wreathed in flames."
Martin has also said the Lord Of Light/R'hllor is loosely based on Zoroastrianism, the religious concept of there being a God Of Good/Light and a God of Evil/Dark
Hodr/Hoder is the blind god of winter and darkness in Norse mythologyAnd joder (pronounced hoe-dare) means fuck in Spanish. They're all fucking.
:ohhh
What if "Hodor" is the name of the Great Other
:ohhh
Hodr/Hoder's brother in Norse mythology is Baldr/Baldur, the god of light
:ohhh
In the first book when Dany is about to give birth she sees a visionQuote"She glimpsed the shadow of a great wolf, and another like a man wreathed in flames."
:ohhh

I bet The Winds of Winter still won't be out by then.
“There is certainly no lack of material,” Martin told EW. “Every episode of The Naked City – one of the television shows I watched as a kid – ended with a voice-over: ‘There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them.’ There are eight million stories in Westeros as well … and even more in Essos and the lands beyond. A whole world full of stories, waiting to be told… if indeed HBO is interested.”
He would, though, if it was "world building" shit, which at this point is obviously all he's interested in rather than telling a coherent narrative.

:snoop
Wall stuff was cool. That's it.
They really shitcanned Dorne lmao
No, not really. Doran was indirectly responsible for a few of the major plot points in the series and I think the Dorne plotline had a lot more left in it for the never-coming-out books to flesh out. The showrunners decided to end that plotline in the stupidest possible fashion, of course.:snoop
Wall stuff was cool. That's it.

Do you think this indicates that all of the world building gurm did in the 4th and 5th books was ultimately pointless

Not to mention why did Trystane say "I'll fight you" then turn his back to an armed woman?I really assumed that he was gonna pull some 360noscope shit and murk the one behind him and then the one in front when he turned his back on the first one. Why would you do that??? He had plenty of room to fight and could have kept the other one in his peripheral vision?????
I mean the moment he turned towards the whip girl I was like' Turn around and stab the spear woman you dolt!"
48 minutes went by waaaay too fast.
Nope! I like the books as they are right now.This episode just makes you realize how much useless shit was in books 4a and 4b. Sure they made it even shittier in some ways, but the point is that it is all irrelevant in the end.nah. Made me realize how interesting and awesome Books 4 and 5 were and how shit the show is when it diverges from them entirely.
Lets just agree that both the books and the show went to shit a while ago.

I like Victarion for many of the same reasons I liked Cersei's chapters. How often do you get a POV for someone who is just a straight dumbass or (in Vic's case) seems mentally challenged? Plus he acts like I'd expect a heartless pos viking to act.

One potential problem I foresee about next week
Book spoilersspoiler (click to show/hide)A lot of the Jon stuff is gonna feel really rushed. Basically within four episodes it's going to be "Jon is dead. Actually Jon is not dead. Oh and here's his mother. And BTW Ned isn't his dad. Oh and actually he's a Targaryen too and has the strongest blood claim to the Iron Throne (assuming Rhaegar and Lyanna were married)." I understand why they delayed the Tower Of Joy to this season but this pacing plus the lack of parentage hints until last season makes for odd plotting to me. Could feel like bullshit to some show watchers.[close]

And that "battle" for the fort. It's like "Oh noes! They have a giant! Just like the dozens of giants we've already fought. Better drop our weapons."
what the fucky fuck fuck was that shit?!
The bolton murder telegraphed from on high. And "I prefer to be an only child?" WTF?
The Iron Borne? About 3 years too late
Theon "I gotta go home. Why? For reasons."
Tyrion being a dragon tamer by telling them stories?
And Davos being the one who convinces the Melly to regain her faith?
And that "battle" for the fort. It's like "Oh noes! They have a giant! Just like the dozens of giants we've already fought. Better drop our weapons."
Jamie trying to take on the Sparrow?
Cersei, the fucking raging bitch of Lannister backing down to the royal guard when she's never backed down to anyone on anything but sure, she'll let it keep her from her daughter's funeral. Yeah, that makes sense.
What the fuck was that? I mean I expect the sandsnakes to suddenly show up in any scene at this point. At least Silicon Valley doesn't let me down.

There's a joke theory that Tyrion actually has Targaryen blood, because Tywin's wife may have cheated at some point. Which would make the dragon taming make sense. And be fucking hilarious.

I think it's plausible. Making him the third head of dragon. And actual rightful heir since Jon doesn't give af about the throne (yet).
I mean he wanted a dragon when he was a kid. And tiny stature could be a metaphor of dragons in captivity.
Why did they change Hodor's name from Walder to Willis?Because of the Freys

Jon actually has no right to the throne even if he was a Targ by blood. That's part of being in the Nights Watch. You give up any claims like that.
I wouldn't say "cheating" lol. The rumor is that she was raped. I don't believe it personally and hope it's not true.
The probably changed Hodor's name so that the show doesn't have multiple characters with the same name. Makes sense.
Audible cheers for Olly getting strung up
Beric was brought back in S3 and noted parts of humanity (and memory) are now lost. Yet Jon is rezzed with no consequences or change of character. If this was the direction they wanted to go in, why change
mild spoiler all booksspoiler (click to show/hide)that he's a warg, and living in Ghost allowed him to avoid losing his humanity? It feels like they just took the easy route, did it as quickly as possible, and here we are.[close]
I could be remembering wrong too but isn't Beric like at least half a dozen rez's deep by time we hit s3 shit? PD wants Jon to wake up and forget his niccas on the wall and shit off the first time or somehow give interior dialog about how he can't recall his first pets name aka some book ass shit when this is a god damn tv show.
The fight was really well done although I'm surprised they basically wrote Dawn out the show in order to make Dayne a dual wielder.
tbf it's a really cool sword
I think...
vague Dance stuff, tv speculationspoiler (click to show/hide)I don't buy that the Umbers are selling out Rickon, I think it's a ruse. Basically a tv version of the Manderlys/grand northern conspiracy in ADWD. The only thing that makes me think I'm wrong is...how do you fake a direwolf head. Still, Smalljon refusing to pledge loyalty to Ramsay as dictated by northern customs seemed important. It kinda reminded me of Manderly adhering to guest right customs until the minute the Freys left his land.
I'm guessing Osha will also become Ramsay's new girlfriend while secretly killing Bolton loyalists inside Winterfell, also like the hooded man in ADWD.
I'm guessing the Umbers will fuck over Ramsay during the big battle that's coming.[close]

Jon Snow/Sansa + the loyal north + wildings + Stannis leftovers vs Ramsay Bolton. Ramsay sends Rickon out and tells him to run towards his brother or whatever, then as he is doing that he shoots him with an arrow. This pisses off Snow obviously and start the battle. Ramsey's army is winning, encircling Jon's forces and things look bad for our heroes UNTIL!!!! DUN DUN DUN the totally forgotten about armies of the Vale show up and save the day.

You can try and play it off all you like, but your problem IS the divergence from the books, which you put on a pedestal as something more special than they are in reality. Going back and appealing to book authority in your last sentence just proves that.
Plus, it's obvious that someone (the khaleesi she had them spare? Daario and Jorah? ancient stupid Dothraki tradition?) soaked the floor in oil beforehand.
Man, Emilia really can't act. That stupid smirk the whole time, that's just awful.
How did they sneak in, and when? The dudes were in the room when Daario/Jorah found Dany. It's another case of getting to C before establishing A or B. I call it Ramsey's Theory.

Do you call it Ramsey's Theory because you think it's clever to rename nonlinear narrative to something disparaging or do you call it Ramsey's Theory because your consumption pattern in life went something like Harry Potter ---> A Song of Ice and Fire and are unaware of the technique.
I'm not trying to be mean but like seriously you're complaining that a story didn't spoon feed you cause and effect in chronological order...

Some people seem to get really mad when this show skips over mundane stuff.
These are the same people who praise GURM's boring descriptions of useless stuff as "effective world building".

He has another vision about Tower of Joy, we see a baby, Lyanna whispers something to Ned, and we cut to Jon. Bran sees the whitewalkers in his vision (episode 5 possibly?) and the Night King senses him, and they find them. Night King kills 3 eyed raven, the others escape.
Castle Black/North: -Jon and Sansa go to bear island and the mormont girl backs Jon as the King of the North, so does Sansa apparently. They get support of several Northern houses, but apparently the Mormonts only have a hundred men left to pledge. Overall seems a bit funny. Davos is there and has a sick speech. Other houses pledge to Jon as King of the North. -Sansa meets up with Littlefinger in episode 5 in Moat Cailin(?) and says she doesn't believe he didnt know about Ramsay. She doesn't want anything to do with him. -Bastardbowl happens, at the start Rickon is running towards Jon who rides to him, but just when he arrives Ramsay aims for him to die and he dies in Jons arms. Team Jon wins in the end (unknown if its because Littlefinger or not) and he imprisons Ramsay, he does not kill him. Wun Wun survives, no other Stark dies.
Kings Landing: - Tommen jumps out of the window and kills himself. - Tyrells/Other big Kings Landing actors get slaughtered in the end, red wedding style. - Cersei's trial by combat gets denied, Mountain kills the Septa Unella.[close]

Truth. He could have been known as the next Tolkien. Instead, he'll just be remembered as that dude that wrote that 1980s Twilight Zone episode about the Elvis impersonator that goes back in time and meets Elvis.
Man, it would be awesome if Bran warged into the 70s and met Elvis.
Talking about 1980s Twilight Zone gets me all horny for some Harlan Ellison, nom nom. He'd gut GRRM in a UFC-style MMA bout or back alley knife fight. I'd get that PPV.I managed to get a short story entry in a Kindle-only collection anthology online, with a previously unreleased Harlan Ellison short story. I didn't imagine that would happen.

Maybe not in the books!
Dorne was a shitshow in the books too.Arianne's story is actually really good, and works with the War of Five Queens the books were leading into.
You have like one chapter where a character is literally just trapped in a tower, and the tower is her day to day life. Another chapter with some wanker named Darkstar cutting off a girl's ear and running. A bunch of descriptions of Doran looking out at gardens. And then he says "fire and blood" at the end, so people think the story arc is good for whatever reason.

Hope all these reveals are getting breh sweating and writing more, rather than him being resigned and deciding to masturbate to anime or whatever the fuck he does at home.
I didn't get the whole play thing. They spent like 12 minutes on it just to show Arya planning on how to kill the actress and it's like "Bitch, arya's killed a slew of people with no exposition at all. why now?"

And still Arya can't give up her identity, because she keeps asking questions.

I think it's to show that even after 2 seasons of "A girl has no name" Arya still can't let go of being a Stark and that her whole plot line is incredibly stupid without a time skip.

Dumber than Dorne? Arya at least has Jaqen H'ghar, Sexiest Man of Essos.
How about instead of insipid Stark plotlines we get an update on the "fearsome" Iron Bank of Braavos which was funding Westeros for 3+ years (which somehow operates without mining gold at all for the same amount of time*), funded Stannis (lol), and is supposed to be suuuuuuuuuuuuuper scary if you don't settle up your debts.
*Insert joke about central banks here.
A bank has no name
The Sons of the Harpy being able to operate because of outside funding feels pretty anachronistic, right? The Mereen plotline can be read as a very loose metaphor for US adventurism in the Middle East, but it's not like the resistance of the SotH is anywhere near as capital-intensive as a modern insurgency.
Unless those are actual gold masks they use, and absolutely refuse to stab anyone while wearing anything else.
(Though I'm sure it's not cheap to procure labor intensive durable goods in a mode of production characterized by small-scale output and the transmission of knowledge through apprenticeship.)

“I would never do that,” Kirkman assured the interviewer. “That’s the one thing I’m disappointed in George R.R. Martin for doing. He should have just been like, ‘Fuck you. You make it up now, I’ll get to mine when I’m ready.’”

Safe to say that was the worst episode of this season. Still better than the low-tier episodes from last season though.

Cleganebowl WILL happen, although at this point I'm guessing it would be next season. There aren't really enough episodes left to get The Hound to King's Landing this season.

Haven't you talked about doing sexual acts with women, or wanting to? Aside from murdering them? I'm like 80% sure I've seen you talk about some kind of heterosexual sex act.
I talked my roommate into watching the show, so we binged season 1 this weekend... shortly after I saw this week's episode. The difference in quality of pacing, events, characters and especially dialog is jarring. Whether we blame the show's divergence from the books or mock the declining quality of books as well, it's just sad state of affairs.
These days, I just can't get over the abundance last-second rescues and cheap social media baiting (see: twitter blowing up over Lady Mormont's bad-assery). It's just too lazy.
Arya being this stupid and unprepared is hard to believe. Is it all a ruse? Looked real but maybe she just want to fake her own death so no one comes looking for her.
McShane's character was clearly not Septon Meribald. I'm glad he didn't give the speech because it would have been out of character, based on the scenes McShane had.
In terms of the Jaime/Blackfish exchange it's interesting they changed it so that Blackfish had never met Jaime before. One of many Jaime changes, and at this point I'm pretty baffled.spoiler (click to show/hide)He has no development arc now. Making him remain Cersei's lover seems like little more than an attempt to include a romantic relationship in the season. The growth he displayed with Brienne basically disappeared the minute he came to King's Landing. They sent him to Dorne, then brought him back to the city still madly in love with Cersei and susceptible to her lies. Obviously the show is its own thing but this seems like a pretty specific example of making a character a lot less interesting/complex, and I'm curious what the decision process was. I hope it wasn't just "we need romance."[close]

Assuming the Good Guys win over Winterfell, who's in charge? If Rickon survives (not bloody likely), wouldn't it be him? If Littlefinger is involved, I imagine he'll take over and suggest Sansa marry him to lend him an air of legitimacy to the North or something.
question for someone who has only read up to two chapters into a feast for crowsspoiler (click to show/hide)It was my understanding that Jon hasn't come back in the books yet. So PD what moment are you referring to when you say "one of the coolest moments in the series?"[close]
Not to dig up a dead horse only to beat it one last time but I'm getting caught up on Season 5 and...
Why did they kill off Barristan Selmy? He just silently stood there most of the time so the audience could acknowledge him as the legend and badass he was. He provided a nice bridge and connection from the old, all the way back to Aegon V, to the new and they killed him off for seemingly no reason.
a bit salty now. I'm a year late but I just finished that episode
How the fuck do you do all that when you know the audience wants Lady Stoneheart?do we?
Out of everything, I think my least favorite part of this episode was Jamie continuing to be Cersei's bitch this late in the game, especially after we were teased with some actual character development. I think I dislike him more than ever now. Ed Tully's actor was pretty amazing though, too bad his character has no purpose and may never appear again.
I don't know how it's possible to build up a storyline so much and then resolve it so poorly. That was our payoff for 2 years of Arya's Bravos training?
Arya is the worst character/arc in the books, so it's appropriate that she sucks in the show tooArya in Braavos is way more interesting in the books, what with the warging and the much more nuanced insight into the conflict between being "no one" and being Arya Stark.
The Hound was fun, only worthwhile part of the episodeHow the fuck do you do all that when you know the audience wants Lady Stoneheart?do we?
it's better in the bookssure, but it's still Luke-on-Dagobah bullshit with a teenage girl in a universe that prides itself on anyone can die (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AnyoneCanDie). If you're going to have a character with adamantium plot armor, maybe don't make her arc ultimately ancillary to the conflict that your story revolves around

right. As far as I can tell, Arya serves the same purpose in both incarnations: to cross off the names on her list, which will domino into something substantive plotwise. She is not azor ahai, she is not the prince that was promised, she will never ride on a fucking dragon so why commit as much time to her as you do with bran/jon/dany/tyrion? What will eventually be close to 500 pages spent on her are a kill bill side mission standing in the way of a dragons + zombies thread that has now taken 25 years to manifest itself.
The problem with "its better in the books" is that we know that the TV show is heading towards essentially the same plot resolutions. Sure they might arrive in slightly different ways, but the overall end points are gonna be the same. So if show Arya fucks around in Braavos for 2 years only for it to go nowhere, then book Arya is gonna fuck around in Braavos with more nuance, only for it to ultimately go nowhere.
Can we create a thread about those who complain about book readers and collectively ban them to fucking oblivion?

They should have done the scene from ADWD where she kills that corrupt merchant with a poisoned coin. That shit would have been pretty great.
At first I was thinking this was a season that PD and I wouldn't have done better than Benioff and Weiss, but after the last couple episodes, nah, we definitely would have done better.
This season could use more BBC.Like the 11'' guy hitting me up right now? I agree.

Rehashing The Two Towers is by-the-numbers... for fantasy that doesn't aspire to be grimdark.
Hard to be like, "oh no! He's going to lose the battle!" when you know little finger is going to come to the rescue.tbf, this would be an asspull if they didn't telegraph it. if it's a choice between deus ex machina or blunt foreshadowing, I'm fine with the latter.
The one thing I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around is why didn't Sansa tell Jon? Sure it makes for great dramatic effect but even if Jon didn't trust him the fact that Sansa does and would've done it anyway would have moved him. Did I miss something? I know she was saying to wait and Jon kept saying they had to go now. But he might've chosen to wait a day if he knew little finger was coming.
Why didn't Rickon zig-zag?
Yeah, I guess you're right. But for a show that made its name on out of nowhere twists beginning with Ned's beheading there's not been any real surprises this season outside of time-travel Bran and the cursed door.
I wouldn't call it a swerve, moreso a "the eagles are coming" moment of convenient writing. The main reason Sansa didn't tell Jon about LF/Vale is because the writers wanted a surprise 3-4 episodes later, after casual viewers forgot the detail. Then you add in a giant Vale army somehow managing to get past Moat Cailin without A) the Bolton force stopping them B) a raven being sent to Winterfell.
Spoilers have been super accurate this season
One thing that annoys the fuck out of me, both here and in the Two Towers with that Rohan charge at the end of Helm's Deep: cavalry cannot just charge a pike/spear formation and plow through it. In fact, when pike formations started to become more ubiquitous on the battlefield, heavy cavalry assaults started to fall out of use, because horses can't just charge a wall of spears, and usually will refuse to do so.

Those first 15-20 minutes were the best in this show ever. That piano motif was phenomenal.
I don't even care about Varys teleporting all over the place, that episode was lit. The best one this show had.
So Jon would technically have more right to the throne over Dany I assume?

The show is going to reveal that Lady Stonehart is just Jon's drag persona.
I was wondering where Arya learned to bake. That was like the most unbelievable part of the scene to me. That crust looked tasty and delicious and buttery. You gotta have skills to get that crust done right.
tbh in hindsight the Frey pie thing felt very forced/stupid. How did she carve up his sons and bake a pie, unless she killed some cooks to get access to it. And Frey being alone in the great hall just makes it even more convenient.We could easily explain the face part by the fact that Arya had... a lot of time in the House of Black and White until Jaqen found her. Enough to carve up the Waif and put her face on the wall. It's likely she stole more than a few faces to don for her Kill Bill list.
Where did Arya get the face? Did she take it from the House Of Black and White (makes the most sense)? Given she never reached the training to use a face I'm not sure. Just seemed like they wanted to include Frey pies so they shoehorned it.
You know people know how to makr food not everyone lives off taco bell you splergs
You know people know how to makr food not everyone lives off taco bell you splergs
How long was she in Harrenhal with Hot Pie?
Someone get a screen grab of the Frey pie. We need it to judge the skill necessary to create it.
I think the point was he knew A Girl would always be Arya Stark, and the faceless God doesn't give a shit as long as folks keep dyin. He maybe even sent the Waif to her death, or was indifferent in how the conflict between the waif and Arya resolved.
Given all the (cool) show theories about Arya turned out to be false, I'm going to assume it's just bad writing.
I agree with everything you just posted PD, but it's pretty easy to assume that she only took some faces after she put the Waif's on display before talking to Jaqen. Having access to faces is like the least worrisome aspect to the whole Arya suddenly being at the Twins twist.
Agreed TVC, I can't shake the idea that Martin didn't give them as much details as I had originally assumed. Like with the Sam arc, which doesn't go as far as it does in the books. Maybe Martin hasn't revealed what happens next for Sam, thus they ended it abruptly.
Likewise when you think about it a lot of the show arcs seem like they ended before they'll end in Winds. Cersei's trial will presumably happen quite early in Dance, Stannis is poised to win the northern battles early, Arya attending the theater play is her first Winds chapter, etc. In short it seems like Winds is going to lap multiple S6 arcs...
...if it comes out before S7 :dead
Honestly my biggst disappointment with the episode is the fact they didn't show us Tommen's broken corpse.
I was watching Starship Troopers yesterday and was thinking this, when the bug was dissolving people with hot fiyah.Honestly my biggst disappointment with the episode is the fact they didn't show us Tommen's broken corpse.
They should have showed us more shots of inside the Sept as the explosion was happening. I wanted to see people dissolving, having their skin burn off, getting dismembered by shit flying everywhere, getting crushed, etc. I think the only major character we got a death shot of was the High Sparrow, and even that was tame.
I can see Jaquen showing up in Old Town midway through next season to do something. Wasn't that where he is in the books? I could barely follow that plot when I was reading it.
Uuh you think they will wrap this up in 13 episodes? ok
s7 directors announced (http://www.ew.com/article/2016/06/29/game-thrones-season-7)
No Miguel but at least Alan Taylor is back
Mark Mylod is too though :'(
Definitely far dumber writing in the show than any low point in the books, which is absolute fact; though I can't imagine the Red Septing being as awesome in the books as it was in the show, cuz damn.
Counterpoint: Any and all dialogue in Dorne except for when Olenna arrives. 20 good men. Any brothel scene.
You clearly misread what I said earlier.Counterpoint: Any and all dialogue in Dorne except for when Olenna arrives. 20 good men. Any brothel scene.
The show absolutely had low points, but to act like George's erotic fiction and travelogues are flawless is some ridiculous stannery.
