I feel pretty confident they aren't doing lady stoneheart. She is going there to facilitate the Jamie / Brienne head to head. I don't think it'll be like the books where she is forced to kill him. She'll just be on the opposite sides of invading Lanisters and have to choose
But .... Jamie and Brienne have one very important thing in common. they each swore oaths to Catelyn.
Yea, I'm thinking it's possible. I don't see the need for it but ... there was no need for Griff either.
Hey fwiw - there's one reason I'm still skeptical. I cannot find any foreshadowing or anything that even seems to mention her. And, you can't just go 6 books (or seasons) into a story and go "TA DA, she's Jon's sister". Ya get me?
Told ya.
Yeah, that would be bad writing. Almost like introducing a fake heir to the throne whose only narrative purpose is to get one of the main characters down a river and distract the reader. Or introducing a new storyline about one of the bad guys' fiercest enemies putting into motion a 15-year long plot to ally with the exiled royal family to get revenge, only to have the main player in the plot show up in town and promptly get his flesh burned off his bones.
What is her purpose? I still haven't figured it out. Yea, that arc is going nowhere, much like the books, where it was doing the same.
Interesting to me that no one has really even touched on the fact that we know where the white walkers come from, or at least the whytes. The freaking children of the corn made them.
What about R+L=J+D? Any thought they are long lost TWIIIIINNNSSS? That makes some sense to me. Both are "prince that were promised" well maybe that makes sense because they were of the same womb.
I agree... about Arya. I think ultimately her role will be killing Cersi. She'll get away with things until the end and Arya will be there to take her down
I liked last week and this week both, but to be honest, episode 3 was such utter shit that it would be impossible for these last two episodes to not look good by comparison.
Then who is Aryia killing? She isn't doing all this training to kill no one.
Beats the hell out of me. Maybe she'll be given an assignment to kill someone she knows and doesn't want to kill. I'm with TMP on this one - can't figure out what the hell her purpose is.
Sansa's characterization changed dramatically this season without the necessary scenes to explain the change. She's still a bitch, but a much different kind of bitch. I think it's pretty clear the writers want the viewers to root for her harder than they ever have. Which means she'll either help Jon take back the North, or just when we all think she'll be a heroine, she'll get offed.
she's killing someone... as for the wolves. I think they're essentially worthless at this point. All but 2 are dead, and only 1 is actually in the fight.
I think that is correct. And the Tullys just happen to be rebuilding an army in the Riverlands. Hmmm....
Obviously. the D&D could be going off the rails, but GRRM has been on the record that the wolves are extremely important.
She's not the head of the family, though. Not until Bran and Rickon are both dead. Male-line primogeniture and all that. But, obviously, Rickon's not long for this world. No one wants him to be a main character, and with Shaggydog gone, he's got no protector. I'm assuming Rickon bites it this season. Of course, if Jon is actually a Targ and not a Stark, then he can't lead the Stark family, either. So if mystical Bran doesn't eventually come back and take over, it will have to be one of the girls.
Fair enough, good point.
Has to be Jaime. That's the kind of twist that's been gradually getting served to us ever since Cersei first mentioned Maggy. And Jaime and Cersei started drifting apart the minute Joffrey died.
Summer is Bran's wolf? Where is Shaggy Dog? That's Rickons wolf.
