A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

[Dinner]

Ok, I didn't know about that chapter. I have only seen the ones that were published online.

[Imran Siddiqui]

The Winds of Winter sample chapter basically ends any discussion on that score.

edit: the chapter was read out loud by GRRM at Boskone in 2013.

[Dinner]

Well, the man has been known to change his mind and rewrite everything so I am not counting chickens until they are published.

[Nikolai]

Nothing supposedly about it.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Duh.

[Dinner]

Indeed. I'm really kind of disappointed about that..

Spoiler:

Are they not even going to have Second Battle of Meereen in all its badass-ness? I mean, in the books (sample chapter from Winds of Winter) you have Barristan Selmy leading a host of Unsullied outside the gates to attack the sellsword armies from Yunqai and Astapor, along with Dany's other two dragons, and from the see, Victarion's fleet makes mincemeat of the Slaver's navy. It would have been far more epic than the Battle of the Blackwater

Supposedly, that second battle is supposed to happen in the opening chapters of The Winds of Winter.

[Nikolai]

Yeah, I just found out.

Spoiler:

Sorry, you are wrong... there are interviews confirming that Barristan is gone

[Nikolai]

Good episode. Ser Grandfather did not die, although he can still kick the bucket. My money is on him surviving though.

That's what you all are taking from this episode? What about...

Spoiler:

...Grey Worm and Barristan (maybe possibly it's not clear) dying?

Yep. Not happy about that part. Particularly because

Spoiler:

Barristan doesn't even get his true badass moment. I was looking forward to that.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

That's easy for you to say.

You picked up on that too, eh?

****ing hell, I hope not. I hope someone is able to stop it; no shortage of candidates:

Jon, Sam, Tormund, Gilly, Davos, Alliser, hell, even Edd.
