Strong Belwas is a supah obese dude that passed most of his life as a slave and got banana and nuts cut before we even see him. Is not what you will call a lucky guy :D

Victarion is a good call.
BUT.
Do your pirate shit in full plate armor because you don't fear drowning, In GRRM universe?
He's not alive for badassery, is just that George have not think a lulz enough way to drown him. It's matter of WHEN :D

Even so, he lets everyone cut him once and has never lost. Doesn't even die of an infected booboo. Bigger balls than Drogo in that regard :P

I reckon Victarion will still leave through being drowned. He's magic like that.

Also, Thoros of Myr. Trolliest priest ever.

Am I the only one here who loved Tywin? Like a medieval Frank Underwood.

Nah Tywin was great. Very much a medieval Underwood yeah.

Alright, I know it's been 3 day already, but this has literally ruined my whole summer. And I'm really angry at Lena Headey for posting that stone heart picture. She claims she was drunk and thought it was pretty and the caption was witty and she was ignorant to the character. Bitch, we all fucking know you weren't ignorant. That was literally a kick to the balls after all is said an done. And then, please, D&D, give me one legit reason as to why you would ruin and omit the best mindfuck of a cliffhanger of all time on God's green earth. Now I don't even want to talk to any show watcher about GoT because they'll talk about how awesome the finale was and I'll be sitting there like stfu that finale was shit. They ruined the whole thing for me. By not including Stoneheart, they literally did the equivalent of tying me up and then setting me on fire. Can't wait for Cersei's next witty instagram picture. Maybe it'll be her pricking Kit Harrington with several tooth picks! Maybe she'll even put a mask over Maisie Williams face. Can it be September so I can go to school and forget this evil fucking slight? I'll probably drown in my own salty tears first. I think this is the only way to describe how I feel. Salt. Salty and butthurt. You got us D&D and Lena. You got us. You got us all.

GIVE ME STONEHEART OR GIVE ME DEATH.

stop it. They'll bring Stoneheart when they're good and ready. Was I expecting stone heart to appear at the end of this season? yes. but I'm not crying about it. I came to trust the judgement of the writers of this show. They have a clear direction on where they want to go with this show and they're not leaving me empty handed. I'm interested in the new twists they gave and am invested to say the least.

omit the best mindfuck of all time on God's green earth.

Sounds to me like the mindfuck was quite successful; in fact it seems like the hardest hardcore fans (books+series) are the most pissed/lost/confused. They've managed to take what was (to fans of the book) a predictable, sometimes aberrant but still reaffirming path they were on, and now those who "knew" where it was going are just as wtf as everyone else, though for different reasons.

So now the Lady Stoneheart mindfuck is everyone's to share, cause who the fuck knows when/where/if it will even happen....Brilliant!

I like GoT because it's all about taking a giant dump on viewer expectations/existing conventions....and it works on so many levels.

It's not like there's much to talk about. If I want to cry about the show's changes, which is the the only thing happening for ASOIAF right now, I will. But I've already vented my frustration, so I'm done.

Sorry. I've been on edge lately.

I meant a mindfuck for the show watchers, not another mindfuck for the book readers who've already been mindfucked a copious amount of times.

To start a slightly optimistic topic, how do you guys think they'll integrate Lady Stoneheart next season? I'm guessing in the first couple of episodes with Merrett. Or maybe they'll skip him and go straight to jerk Stoneheart where she hangs Brienne.
