Game of Thrones Discussion Thread (Books and Show)

We'll just have to wait and see what they do. Hopefully, they make the right decision. They could easily stretch out Brienne's story just like they did with the Hound and Arya.
 
I think they're going to do Brienne vs. The Hound based on the trailer and other people's theories. Oathkeeper would probably be the song they use for that fight. Hopefully they stop Brienne's story there after she *kills* Sandor, but I can easily see them keep going. It seems like I'm saying hopefully too much. :| I think I'm done speculating about this, or else I'll drive myself insane. As long as Stoneheart appears, I think I'll be happy. Maybe.
 
.................wat

I am highly disappointed. Okay, first, no Stoneheart. WTF? I was so positive that she would be in. Even Lena Headey instagramed a picture of stones in a heart shape with the caption: my stone heart. DAMN YOU CERSEI. DAMN. YOU. Do you know how beast it would have been to show Stoneheart at the end of the finale? I was so prepared to fangasm all over the place. But no.

Oh, and then Jojen dies! Well, I guess he's not important in the books anymore! @Le_Bello that part was just cruel and gratuitous, just like Grenn and Pyp's death.

Brienne vs. The Hound was pretty beast. But since Book 3 is over, I guess they're skipping Merret Frey. I see no reason to do this. I will be extremely disappointed again if they do not show her early on in Season 5, so at the end of Season 5 she can hang Brienne. Asdfghjkl.

Edit: and yes, I know the book and the show are two completely different animals, but it's just why NOT put Stoneheart in? It would literally be the biggest mindfuck and best cliffhanger of all history. And actor availability... well, it's not like she'd be doing a lot (pulling down a hood for like 20 seconds at most) but I don't know much about acting, so take that with a grain of salt.

I'm beyond disappointed, I am LIVID.

I've been really disappointed with the show this season and the excessively gratuitous manner in which changes are made. I understand changes like Asha to Yara, and giving some characters more screentime who don't appear very much, BUT IF YOU DO THAT THE CHARACTER SHOULD HAVE SOME CONSISTENCY WITH THEIR CANON PERSONALITY. Tyrion's morally wrong actions are basically gone (bar Shae's murder), Jaime is now a rapist who despises rape, Cersei is by turns sympathetic, jaded, utterly insane, and not!Cersei, Arya is obsessed with killing because "it makes her feel good;" I could go on about this for hours. If this AU fanfiction of A Song of Ice and Fire is going to keep sucking, I won't be here for it.

Also, I read details of a casting call for Obara Sand that essentially said Jaime is going to Dorne. Goodbye Catelyn Stark, and fuck you D&D for turning a major character into a background prop.
