Game of Thrones (TV, fantasy) Thread

[BlackInk]

I feel like they'll drag that "reveal" or whatever it'll turn out to be out for a bit. At least to the end of the first episode.

[Prog Snob]

I could see that happening. Maybe it'll start with Bran.

[Tyrias]

I'm wondering if it'll go right into a scene with you klnow who.I'm really excited for this.

As much as I love Harry Potter, seeing Voldemort in Game Of Thrones would be pretty weird.



 

[Prog Snob]

 

I get it. 

[cramx3]

I could see that happening. Maybe it'll start with Bran.

A Bran vision showing a flashback. Last season started with a flashback for Cesrei.

Then we find out what happens to Jon.  I can't imagine they drag that out considering he is in the focal point of the hype for the return of the show.

I like the idea with the flashblack. What if it's the Tower Of Joy scene?

I'd love for that, then cut to Jon snows fate.

I have really avoided the spoilers and reading things about the sets and actors besides the basic casting news.  But I have read a few things about story lines this season, I'm really excited for it if they are true

[orcus116]

I'm hoping for little to no Bran scenes. That entire storyline, at least from a TV show only perspective, is boooooooooooooring.

[Prog Snob]

Oh, I don't mind reading the spoilers and such. I was one of those who watched the bootlegged episodes before they came out. Even if I have spoilers I still enjoy something. No matter how many times I watch something, it still gets to me. I don't care how many times Aragorn says to the hobbits, "You bow to no one." Waterworks every time.

I'm hoping for little to no Bran scenes. That entire storyline, at least from a TV show only perspective, is boooooooooooooring.

It has been slow-moving, but I guarantee you it's going to be one of the most important story lines in the entire show. I plan on re-reading all of his chapters just to reacquaint myself.

[orcus116]

I hope they do a better job in establishing the characters in that storyline, then. I can't think of a single interesting thing Bran has done in the first four seasons.

[Prog Snob]

Minus the warging and visions you mean? Because that's kind of a big deal about the future of his storyline, and some other's storylines.

[BlackInk]

Bran's story hasn't really been action packed, but I find it interesting becuase I have always felt that it's one of the most important storylines. He's one of the few who is actually focused on the legit issue.

I concur. I pulled out the books and am going to outline his story so far.

[matthewmatt]

I agree that Bran's story will be probably very important, however that doesn't change the fact his storyline was probably the most boring for me in both the books and the series. The series have even forgotten him for a while.

However, after finally finishing ADWD, I can now say I have definitely started to prefer the TV series. Books 4 and 5 were collectively excruciating, just crawling along with their brontosauric pace with no ending/payoff in sight.

The fact the series don't have Lady S doesn't bother me anymore.

[ariich]

See, I really liked book 4, even though parts of the story were obviously missing. But I though it had a great build up, particularly on the Cersei/Margaery story which came to an excellent climax at the end of the book.

Book 5 on the other hand, was way too drawn out for me. Had some great stuff of course, but it dragged.

[hefdaddy42]

I loved 4, and 5 was good, but you're right, it dragged.  Bloated.

[BlackInk]

The fact the series don't have Lady S doesn't bother me anymore.

I'm mostly over that, but I'm still a liittle bit sad about it, as well as skipping Jamie's entire Riverrun thing.

Also, I read books 4 and 5 as one, following a guide jumping back and forth, and I liked it all. It became a really long book of course, but because I was sort of prepared for it it didn't bother me.

This stuff should be labelled as spoilers.  It hasn't been in the show, but it's possible it can be included

Jamie in riverrun this season is rumored (maybe confirmed, I've avoided spoilers), and I haven't seen anything regarding Lady S but she can still make an appearance, her spot in the book has no real storyline to it yet so it does make sense to hold it back for now

In my opinion, revealing Lady S now would be a bit late. The end of season 4 would have been the perfect moment for it. I mean, absolutely perfect. Now, it would just feel a tiny bit irrelevant. It would still be great to have her included at all though.

I would have had her in the season 4 finale, had Jamie go to Riverrun directly, and it would all line up nicely to where we are now. Now it's all a bit disjointed, and Brienne is up at Winterfell. Maybe she'll run into Lady S on her way back south. I guess that'd line things up well enough.

If they followed the books then yes the end of season 4 would have been the perfect WTF moment, BUT considering they seem to be pushing the riverrun story this season, it could make more sense to do it now.  Also I believe the actress was doing something different at that time, not sure if she still is but maybe that could also be a reason they held off.  At the end of the day, that whole storyline may be completely meaningless too so maybe it just won't be included at all.

I really don't have any spoilers to discuss, I just wanted to say hi in really small letters.

No way in hell is Lady S going to appear now - after being forgotten for such a long time, her resurrection would be too close to the Jon Snow resurrection (which is happening, much as I or you or anybody might dislike it), so I don't think it's even in the same room as "probable". I don't expect it now and I don't think anybody really seriously is.

I don't expect it myself either, but given the riverrun plot possibly happening I thought that could be a reason to bring it back, plus if Jamie goes to Riverrun I would imagine we could see the BWB come back.  Also the resurection of Jon is a reason to show the resurrection of Cat, like parallels.  Well that is one way to interpret it though, but like I said, I do not expect this to happen at this point anyway, just thinking it shouldn't be totally ruled out yet.

Considering her part in the books hasn't been too big yet, it's possible the show writers are waiting for the right moment to bring her back. Just some wishful thinking.[size]
