NFT: Game of Thrones - Book Reader Thread

UConn4523 : 5/2/2016 2:28 pm
lets just make this cut and dry and talk about book topics here. I'm interested in discussing stuff from the other thread but too many potential spoilers.

Have at it.

You think the Hound returns or is he just a ditch digger now? Will they even get into that in the show? Unless Clegane plays a major part in any events to come it's the type off fat that would get trimmed for a TV series.



I am completely convinced Clegane Bowl is goimg to happen. Why else even introduce this character?


I gotta be honest, I completely forgot about that one. There's a lot to keep track of. Westerte.org is great but it's been awhile since I've checked it out. Clegane Bowl would be awesome, also makes you wonder how the trial by combat comes to pass, basically how Cersei would be in the posession of the Faith Militant.
Maybe the faith militant assassinate Tommen

And Cersei makes her move against them?
Or maybe she burns down the Sept of Baelor?  
Tyrion : 5/4/2016 8:05 am : link
To parallel the burning of the TotH in the books?

Well, we know there's a golden shroud waiting for Tommen at some point, but it seems a bit early. Who's Tommen's heir at this point, given that House Baratheon still technically sits the Iron Throne ? Robert and Joffrey? Dead. Renly? Dead. Stannis? Dead (Assuming Roose's confirmation of having found his remains wasn't a red herring). Even Myrcella and Shireen are dead. Can Gendry still be legitimized somehow? With nobody to succeed him, I think Tommen hangs around a while.

I'm not even sure who the heir to Casterly Rock would be, after Uncle Kevan. It seems that Jaime, Tyrion, and Lancel, though breathing, have all taken themselves out of the running in various ways. Kevan is still alive on TV, but it's only a matter of time.

Oh, and also... Dany is not going to bang any of them either. I don't know why George spends so much time trying to get me to believe Dany is going to have sex with any of these Greyjoys.


Some fanboy diehards insist Daario is a Greyjoy incognito.


I remember that. Apparently that "theory" has existed for a while but, it came back to the diehards when TV show Daario told Dany he had a fleet of 92 ships, which is the same number of vessels Euron Greyjoy has under his command.

Then it spiraled into Euron Greyjoy was a student of the Three-Eyed Crow, to Euron is secretly the Dusky Woman that Euron gave Victarion for pleasure purposes on his long trip to Essos.

In the books, I was really convinced that Sandor Clegane is done, on account of that pronounced limp that grave digger was displaying. The only thing that made me Get Hype was that the Elder Brother has healing powers beyond those of the Maesters, and that the healing of Sandor Clegane, physically, was not done yet. He still had those bodies to bury to heal his soul.

On the show, it was Ian McShane's revelations that make me believe it's happening.
There doesn't seem to be much doubt than The Hound has risen.

Well, yeah... That and Rory McCann showing up on location. Just hoisting a few pints with his old mates? Sure.

Similarly, reports from the "little birds" watching HBO's operations suggest that the big set-piece battle this season will be in the North, with Brienne playing a central role. That figures to be Bastard Bowl, but it doesn't rule out Clegane Bowl happening this season. The Bitches of Sunspear figure to make some noise in Westeros too.

Not sure when the Harpy (Green Grace or whoever) and Sons will get smoked. It's a basic dramaturgical rule that you don't unchain a dragon unless you plan to use it.

In the next episode is Faux Arya? Perhaps ramsey marries her? Not sure how he gets out of the Sansa marriage though.


I'm guessing that it's Rickon

Think you may be correct:
