ASOIAF / Game of Thrones (SPOILERS INSIDE)

[holahouze]

TOJ speculations. That castillo looks awesome, don't think Ned's pulling it down.

And... before i get hysterical, let me say, if i was running things @ HBO, I would keep all info re: the TOJ super secret and then drop a bomb on the audience.

But... if they screw up the TOJ i'm going to be so upset i will be standing beside myself. The 3 KG have to be there. Every line of Ned's dream has to be recited, word for word. Howland has to be there. Ned, his wraiths, and the KG have to duke it out. Lyanna has to be there. And, the secret promise has to be revealed. Carry on.

This stuff is kind of "out there". Rumors would certainly signify storyline progress, but take it or leave it (i think there's only one way the Stark they reference is involved).

and Sidelle, you should absolutely expect to see Dayne with Dawn this season. i just wonder if they will cast Sean Bean back as Ned Stark [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I officially forgive them for all their fuck ups if they get ToJ right.

"Thrones has raised eyebrows and generated pundit protest every year for its brutal depiction of a world inspired by Medieval Europe, but complaints reached a fever pitch during season 5 after a young likable character was raped and another was burned alive (a U.S. senator famously declared she was quitting Game of Thrones).

But showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have remained stalwart throughout the saga that they’re going to remain true to creator George R.R. Martin’s world and not adjust their narrative based on fandom reactions."

Think I'm calling BS here. I'm pretty confident Sansa doesn't get raped in Winds of Winter and Shireen doesn't get burned at the stake. Unless I'm wrong, Dave and Dan need to own their shit and stop hiding behind Martin.

Agree 100% about D&D, but I do think shireen will get sacrificed. She's at the wall with sadistic Melisandre who regularly makes bad decisions.

sansa wont get it, but im pretty sure shireen will be burned in book 6. lots of people have posted this theory before season 5 on the asoiaf forums and the reddit. seeing it in the show kinda just confirms it

I just read this. I wonder if it's true at all. Potential season spoiler:

Some of it is plausible, some of it is too far-fetched even for the D&D version.

This is it in more detail: http://www.thegrumpyfish.com/game-of...r-fan-fiction/

I mean some of it is not only plausible but I think expected.
