A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

While the scene was stupid, she did say that she was going to sail all the way to the Shivering Sea, and up whatever river the Dreadfort is on (name escapes me).

That provides a fig lead, I suppose, though I do recall when Cersei ordered the flag ship of the royal fleet "King Robert's Hammer" to protect High Garden (or was it Old Town?) someone commented it would take almost half a year to sail all the way there. That journey is only half as far as sailing from the Iron Islands all the way up to the Dreadfort. The time line just doesn't work though I understand why the TV show writers felt the need to show how low Theon had sunk and maybe to give the actress playing his sister a little air time.

I don't recall Asha actually appearing at all whatsoever in book 3, and they clearly didn't have time for her book 4 story.

[Guynemer]

I think the book 4 story is still coming, at least part of it.

Spoiler:

Balon is gonna have to die (I think it'll be this week, actually), and we're going to have to meet Victarion and/or Euron, at least; it is possible they will merge those two characters.

Also, as they're modelled on Vikings, it's not inconceivable that they used the Viking tactic of carrying their ships overland between rivers etc...

Spoiler:

Nah, they're not going to introduce important characters this late in the sesaon especially with there being no indication that they've been cast, if we have the Greyjoy uncles at all they'll be introduced at the start of next season.

[Guynemer]

I agree with the second part; I didn't mean to imply we'd get that story this season. Just that one thing. I think that's what Mel & Selyse will see when they stare into the flames, as shown on the preview.

Great to see Mark Gatiss appearing. He does oily bureaucratic evil so very well.

[regexcellent]

God damnit they changed the line. THEY CHANGED THE LINE!

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Of course they did. 'Cat' would be harder for the audience to recognize at this point.

[Guynemer]

Indeed. However, they may yet say the line.

I still expect the final scene of episode 10 to be You Know What, and they could have that line said in some other context right before a cut to That Scene.

[Lorizael]

Well, next episode will be good because...

Spoiler:

...Inigo Montoya finally confronts Count Rugen.

[Hauldren Collider]

Yeah I'm pumped
