ASOIAF / Game of Thrones (SPOILERS INSIDE)

[Mandalore93]

Ok, so in chapter twenty. An Eddard point of view, take note of the description that is used when he sees Varys. Seems extremely familiar to how the members of the house of undying are described.

I was so damned happy when Tywin died and the way in which he died. I laughed really hard. I cannot wait for that scene to be put to film.

[Sirken]

anyone else notice how they are completely ignoring the whole "undying" aspect of Beric the Undying?

i know its small, but it bothers me. my buddy is EXTREMELY upset that Dany offered them a dragon and tricked them, as opposed to them requesting a dragon, and Dany turning it against them.

big things tomorrow night folks

[Funkutron5000]

Well, Beric did lose his eye somehow... It would be kind of weird to hear someone mention "oh this dude has died like 4 times and Thoros keeps bringing him back some how, and it happened off screen so just believe it pls". I think we'll be learning about the Undying part of the Lightning Lord tomorrow evening after his duel with the Dog!

I have really really liked the last two episodes. I think Jaime losing his hand is the best thing to happen to him. Reading the books I didn't care for his character I just thought he was an ass from pushing Bran out the window... On. He becomes one of my favorite characters after having his hand taken. I'm really interested to see how his meeting with the grey widow(Lady Stone heart).. I believe they call her now :-) goes...

yep! last two have been on the money. and now we're in the back half of the season, so i expect lo. of action for the next 5 weeks.. when jamie first lost that hand in the book, i was so happy, cause fuck him. but then by the end of book 5, i really like Jaime a lot. so when i see him lose his hand, its weird because in my head i already forgave him. essentially i was happy he lost it in the book, but sad for him to lose it in the show? nevermind.

as far as Jaime and Lady Stone Heart, you gonna be waiting a long time... we needs that sixth book, fawk.

So I was looking back at the wiki and saw something's I remember but obviously not well... does podric get killed by lady stone heart... Brienne is set out to find Jaime right? At what point does she get her face bit off? I may have to reread the last book it seems like I've lost some of it.

Also what do you think mormonts outcome will be? Think he will make it back to the fold with daeyneres? also mr baristen the bold is about as badass as they come.

imo, no, Podrick didnt die. in the book, it says he was hanging or choking. when you hang a person correctly they die pretty instant as it breaks your neck. But Brienne sees Pod choking/hanging and is given a choice, "the rope or the sword". Brienne screams a word (the word was confirmed by GRRM to be "Sword"). we assumed she said sword because shes alive in book 5. After Jaime gives Brienne Oathkeeper and sends her looking for Sansa she goes through a bunch of BS, and is eventually attacked by a group of brave companions led by Rorge. she kills Rorge but Biter chews up her face pretty good before she is saved by Gendry, who brings her to the brotherhood (led by stoneheart). Lady Stoneheart doesnt believe Brienne, and names her traitor. Brienne was given the choice of killing Jaime Lannister to prove her loyalty, or to hang (Sword or Rope). Brienne refuses to choose and is sentenced to hang. After seeing Podrick Payne hanging near her, she shouts a single unknown word as they are about to do the same to her. Brienne appears briefly at Pennytree when Jaime camps there, whatever word she shouted apparently making the Brotherhood spare her. She asks Jaime to help her save Sansa Stark from the Hound, claiming they are a day's ride away. She tells Jaime, however, that he must go with her alone, or the Hound will kill Sansa. However we know thats not true because Sansa is in the Vale, and the hound is laying low on quiet isle with the elder brother.

When "Arstan Whitebeard" is revealed to be Barristan Selmy, he reveals Jorah's former status as an informer to Daenerys. Ser Jorah pleads that he stopped sending reports long ago when he fell in love with her, and Daenerys decides to send them both on a dangerous mission into the sewers of Meereen as punishment and a chance at redemption. The mission succeeds, and upon their return to court, Ser Barristan begs Daenerys' forgiveness and she gladly gives it. Jorah, however, insists that she owes him forgiveness on account of his love and history of faithful service. Although Dany wishes to forgive him, she knows that as long as he maintains this attitude she cannot do so without undermining her own authority. She banishes Jorah from her service, swearing to kill him if she ever sees him again. Crushed by her rejection, Jorah leaves.

Jorah captures tyrion, a bunch of bullshit and too many pages later, Jorah is taken as a slave, and is broken down as a man. personally, i think the next time he sees Dany, he will be humbled, and beg forgiveness. and because of Dany's feelings for slaves and slavery, she will take pity on him and grant him mercy. but i think he will server under Barriston. i can not see Jorah ever being her #1 again after his betrayal.

in book 2, Jaime says he thinks theres only maybe 3 people in Westeros that can defeat him in combat. i always figured Barriston to be one of the three (the other two being Gregor and Sandor Clegane).


Fun side note - i think either Brienne is a descendant of Sir Duncan the Tall.

Ah hah the stories of egg and dunk the lunk are awesome.. I hope HBO possibly does a spin off with their stories

[Funkutron5000]

Shireen was goddamn adorable and it was awesome having her sing a song made of the words Patchface would say in the book.

Also, the fight between the Dog and Beric was awesome.
