I think Jorah might take up the Connington story line perhaps

honestly the more i think on it, it is possible they are keep Aegon and Jon Connington back for next season. the only actual purpose they serve is on the trip with Tyrion, before Tyrion convinces them the best course of action is to go to Westeros and start making some noise. its very possible Jon and Aegon show up in season 6 and launch attacks on Griffin's Roost. the only bits we lose are the words with Tyrion convincing them to not go to Mereen, and Connington pulling Tyrion out of the water, as well as them being teleported back to that first bridge after Jon says they arent likey to be attacked, and then they are in fact attacked.

remember how book 5 ends, the epilogue features Varys spilling his master plan to Kevan Lannister before murdering him, and after murdering Pycelle. its very possible that in the show Varys will show back up in Kings Landing to merk Pycelle and Kevan, and hint a hint about Aegon and Jon.

that said, with the way the show is propping up Jon Snow (especially with the introduction of the Harrenhal Tourny story and Selmy's recollection of Rhaygar) i'm starting to think they are just gonna cut it. as far as succession goes, Aegon comes before Jon (assuming R+L=J). unless they straight up merk Jon, i dont think they'd have the balls usurp Jon to the show fans. and if Aegon is a fake, i simply dont think enough Blackfyre foundation work has been laid down for viewers to just introduce a major player like the Blackfyres.

and so while seeing Aegon and Connington is possible, i dont think it to be very likely

Ah, the struggle with what's new and what's "NEW". Just think, can they do this show without Patchface??

Riddle me this, does Arya off Meryn before he offs Mace??

[Sirken]

you can absolutely do the show without patchface, just keep watching.

i dont think Meryn will kill Mace. if the show kills Mace it will be to give the Tyrells extra ammo to go after Cersei. but if Arya kills Meryn before he leaves Braavos, then Cersel cant really be blamed, as she can say she sent a Kingsguard and even he was slain in the protection of Mace. so i dont expect Mace to die, although i could see Arya unknowingly saving Mace by killing Meryn shortly before Mace is set to die.

[holahouze]

Sorry, i was being a wisea$$. Would not miss Patchface one bit... oh oh oh

My read is Cersei was getting rid of Mace literally. She's unhinged and isn't too concerned about offending Tyrells. Mace is dim and unsuspecting, but Oleanna will sniff that plot out. I think Meryn in Braavos will be too much for Arya to pass up. Arya's revenge could buy Cersei more time - true.

[Sirken]

Fool's blood. King's blood, blood on the maiden's thigh, but chains for the guests and chains for the bridegroom, aye, aye, aye.

things like this^ make me wonder a lot about good old Patches, cause he clearly knew the red wedding was incoming. then that what raven calls him "lord"

[MrSparkle001]

I just finished season 4 episode 5. Why are they changing so much from the books? Why is Jon going north to Craster's Keep instead of being hobbled with an injury at Castle Black? Why does Lysa know who Sansa is? Where is Coldhands?

I expect some changes from the book, just like with LOTR, but wow.

[Sirken]

oh, it doesnt get better in regards to changes

[holahouze]

This is old business, but since Mace is off to meet with the Iron Bank, I'm wondering... Any thoughts on why the showrunners depict the Lannisters as being broke // their gold mined out??

[Sirken]

im not sure if thats a spoiler, or a blatant change from the book. either way, i think the purpose of it is to further emphasize that Tywin was literally the only thing in the world keeping his family at its status, and now that hes gone, that family will crumble down brick by brick.

[holahouze]

Yes, you're right. Not my first thought, but a lot of significance can be tied to the reveal. Just wondering how its going to come up again. Thx
