Game of Thrones Thread (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=289801)

I got no problem with straying from the books this far into the tv show. The tv ending has to be different from the supposed book ending. I personally dont think he's even goign to finish it,

Spoilers for those who have seen through episode 4:

Spoiler!

And for what reason? You saw it coming the whole hour? Obviously those of us who read the books know Mance's story is not done in the books at this point in the story line and his part gets bigger in the books.

The only reason I can come up with is to give John Snow some "in" with the Wildlings and he is going to lead the Wildlings is some new story line.

He may not finish it, but someone will.

Heh. Not really a spoiler as it's fairly inconsequential, but since it technically hasn't erred.

Spoiler!

Samwell produced what I think was my first actual laugh out loud on GoT.

Spoiler!

Sam the Slayer!!

Game of Thrones "Spoiler" Thread II

I'm starting to like Stannis.

Bronn is a badass. I'm kind of mad we didn't get to see him and The Hound go at it back in King's Landing.

This show is so much better when Jaqen Haghar is featured.

Spoiler!

Well, according to Cersei herself, when you play the game of thrones, you win or you die...

No mention of Cersei's brother killing her either???

Not according to Martin. Unlike Robert Jordan, he's basically said that he won't give anyone else the rights, so if he croaks we are all just out of luck.

They have?

At this point you don't trust them to give you a good story? It may not be the SAME story as Martin's, and it may not be the story YOU want, but I trust them to handle the story reasonably well.

Forget what is in the books and just let the TV show do what it wants, and judge it based on whether it ALONE is a good story, and not how it compares with the books.

I will say, and I'll not spoiler it because it's widely know even if in the future yet. Dorne is AMAZING. Just beautiful.

By what means? He'll need a regime change in order to even step foot back in Westeros and Daenerys is basically the only potential candidate (save Jon Snow) that wouldn't kill him on sight.

It's possible that he'll kill her but not likely, I'd say.

ThaVirus, don't forget that this is the spoiler thread where book readers can talk about everything in the books even though the show hasn't gotten there yet. You will likely get spoiled on some major events coming this season if you hang around in this thread.

The prophecy given to Cersei by maggie the frog in the books said Cersei would be killed by the valonquar which means "little brother", so naturally Cersei assumes it will be Tyrion which has fueled her irrational hatred of him. However, there are many theories on who the valonquar really will be. Could be Jaime since he was born after Cersei even though they were twins. I have my own theory which is: (spoiler tagged because it goes into a lot of stuff not covered on the show yet)
