A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

[Guynemer]

I quite like the Bran/Rickon stuff for a number of reasons. Firstly, it gave Natalia Tena a role, and I think she's a fantastic actress. She just eats up the screen whenever she appears. Secondly, it's a showcase for young actors, and if there's one thing GoT has done incredibly well it's getting good performances out of unknown young actors.

True on all counts. I wonder how, if at all, the show will use Natalia now that she has broken off from DJ Hodor and crew.

I wanna know wtf rickon is up to as well.

[Guynemer]

I'm sure we'll find out when The Winds of Winter are published.

You'll probably only be in your mid-30s by then.

Lena Dunham would be a great fit for this show.

[Guynemer]

You shut your whore mouth.

HBO is a forward-thinking network. Her addition would open up a productive dialogue about the role and portrayal of women in sci-fi/fantasy.

We now see what is important to you.

Such an act would not be in character for Daario who replaced the entirely superfluous Big Belwas.

Talking of superfluous, I'd have had Bran and Rickon killed by Theon and an early end put to that tedious storyline...it may eventually come good, but it does drag. Dance with Dragons was pretty tedious is all I'm saying and needs editing down.

First of all, **** you, Strong Belwas owns.

Second, their storylines are both pretty important. I am convinced the reason there are three Stark sons is because Robb has to die, Bran has to get crippled, which leaves Rickon.

[self biased]

Strong Belwas does own, yes.

Speaking of Bran

Spoiler:

Isn't it hinted in Melisandre's vision that Bran will be the chief opponent of the Lord of Light? I feel like GRRM is setting us up to see that the Others aren't as pure evil as they first seem.

[regexcellent]

Bran's not in for a good time I think...

Spoiler:

Think about what it means that he's been warging into Hodor. He's been doing one of the most evil things in the world of ASOIAF on the regular now for a while. He's being set up to be a villain, sadly.

Isn't Lena Dunham some frumpy freegan hipster or something? I don't know much about her other than she's on an HBO show I don't watch.

Spoiler:

What hint is that? I think it's more likely that Bran becomes Westeros Cortana.

[Felch]

Spoiler:

One of Melisandre's vision's in the last book was about the three eyed crow and it seemed to hint that he and Bran were the enemies of the Lord of Light.

Somebody better versed in Ice and Fire lore can give a better explanation, or just correct me about what I got wrong.

Spoiler:

I hear much of the next book will be about Rickon or at least the search for Rickon, when last we saw him (in both the books and TV show) the two Stark boys split up for safety. Bran went north with Jojen and Mira to find the three eyed crow while the wildling woman (I forget her name) takes young Rickon off to "some where safe".

I did it to make people happy but it is about stuff which the show ALREADY COVERED in past episodes. Hell, it happened LAST SEASON so it isn't even remotely something which needs to be spoilered.
