Holahouze, i think they revealed Von Sydow as BloodRaven because thats not a new character, as we met him in season 4, and we know that plot is in the show. but with Randyll and Euron, we've never seen them. the show has never let us know those characters/plots would be addressed. i dont want Maribald combined with the Elder Brother. if they do that im worried it means no Gravedigger and no Clegane Bowl 2016.

i really want Clegane Bowl 2016 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thanks. I thought about that re: Von Sydow -- you're probably right. I guess I'm just hung up on the "small but important role" for McShane. There's obviously risk applying books to show, but Tarly seems to fit that definition better - a guy i didn't care for in books because of the way he treated Sam. So, the septon would be a way to make McShane's role more acceptable to me. I think there's a way for the septon to lead to the Quiet Isle, Gravedigger, and what happened to Arya. That would be a relatively small but important role. I want to see Clegane Bowl too!! But, i bet you it will be 2017.

The Ironborn plot is very minor in the totality of things. It's a side story to serve as a plot device to transport characters from different locations pretty much while shedding more light on the world.

Plus the Ironborn are dumb cunts which can't be said enough.

No way.

Euron is going to totally control the dragons and force Danny to be his slave wife and HE is going to sit on the iron throne.

For the McShane/Deadwood fans... And, DO NOT play that video at end in public setting. It does not foreshadow McShane as a septon.

Sidelle, I'm interested in reading the novellas, too. And, like you, the comic book format is not working for me. I will tell you that the three novellas are published in novel/short story format in SF/fantasy compilations = Legends, Legends II, and Warriors. As those books contain other authors' works, and run around 700 pages, i have not pulled trigger. Check out Amazon. I'm probably going to wait until Martin's Fall release -- unless someone here can hook a brother up!

Had not noticed the necklace goof -- stray from source and they screw up. I didn't think Doran knew about the poison, as it would have been insane to risk Trystane that way. Not really his style. But, Dorne S5 was such a code 3 dumpster fire -- i'm having commitment issues...

Thanks for reminding me I got the 3 Dunk novellas on my ipod ready to be listened too!

Sidelle, the books are actual books. i never read the graphic novels. the issue is, they arent available in print right now. you need to wait til october, or listen to them online.

FYI, they arent their own book either. for ex: "The Hedge Knight" (the first dunk and egg story) is in a book with like 10 other short stories by different authors.

Also if you do buy legends you can't buy the paperback version as it only has about half the stories. You have to buy the original hardcover.

I learned that the hard way

fun fact: Lady Rohanne (the red widow from the second Dunk and Egg book) is actually the grandmother of Tywin Lannister and Kevan Lannister
