ToJ scene will be almost a decade later. it will be interesting to see if they use Sean Bean, because they could [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Good get! So many of the back stories via dreams/visions/Old Nan flew over my head... Although I put together the Theon TWOW sample chapter to one of Bran's weirnet visions. Proud moment for me.

I'm totally fine with HBO using Sean Bean to play the TOJ scene. Might need to use a little neutrogena... Still hard for me to envision full value of that scene if Lyanna not there. Would be nice to hear what Ned actually promised.

(and thanks for not calling me "little buddy")

good job with the theon bran thing. when you reread, youre gonna start thinking every single thing near a weirwood is bran :P

if they can CGI Cersei's face on a body double, then i have no problem believing they can throw some make up on sean bean to make him look a little bit younger. Lyanna should be there imo, Ned gets to her in his dream, and this is when she makes him promise her something (probably to protect & raise her son, Jon). but really, theres no point in doing the ToJ scene if it doesnt include Lyanna, otherwise its just some random fight scene without any importance or reason for showing it to us.

Don't put it past the show runners to fuck it up, though.

That would take some serious effort. Goes back to the Two Towers for me. Where do these dimbulbs get off thinking they can rewrite one of the greatest fiction writers of all time? JUST STICK TO THE FUCKING BOOK.

Does anyone know why the producers are killing off characters that are still very much alive in the books? Shireen, Myrcella, Barristan Selmy (although he might not be dead), Stannis (again, might not be dead)?

I'm afraid GRRM let the producers kill off these characters because they will be killed off in the next book.

The show is so drastically different from the book that my head is spinning. I legitimately cannot remember sometimes if a scene I remember is from the show or the books. I picture the show's cast and sets when reading the books now so it can get confusing.

I'm at a point now where I don't think I want to watch the next season or hear anything about it until I read the book, because I don't want spoilers and I think I've already seen some at the end of this season

I don't know what the producers are thinking with Dorne but in the books Dorne isn't a major player yet. The Sand Snakes are imprisoned, Myrcella's returning to King's Landing, there's hints of a possibility of a civil war or usurpation of the Dornish throne but that's about it so far. Again, I think GRRM is letting the producers know what's going to happen in the next book even if it's not all written down yet in manuscript form.

Yeah I used to think Peter Jackson took liberties with LOTR.

^^^They'd better not. I would be bitterly disappointed and would be forced to chop off their manhoods and feed them to the goats.

Ever since I first read about the ToJ in the books I've been hopeful that we would see it all play out on the show someday. I really loved the fight scene in season one between Ned and Jaime (and LOL at the grin on Jaime's face when he discovered that 'ole Ned had some skillz. [You must be logged in to view images.

And then finally add in the drama of Lyanna screaming during the battle (presumably giving birth) and then slipping away after Ned's promises to her and it has the potential of being the best episode ever... as long as we find out the truth about Jon's parentage, of course.

Rumor mill. Spoiler(s) in here. If the first rumor is true, it further illustrates the show is out-of-synch time-wise with books -- book 3&4 in season 6.

Have at it. http://winteriscoming.net/2015/08/29...pear-and-more/

……OMG……

(Mental note: KEEP SOME EXTRA SMALL-CLOTHES HANDY WHEN SEASON 6 PREMIERES (if the information is correct)... LOL Wow. Was not expecting that at all..)

 
If this Lady Stoneheart thing comes to pass I hope they really go the extra mile to make her look as terrifying as she sounds in the books.
