If you get spoiled in here, please do not complain. The other thread is for that. You have been warned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 think coldhands got cut from the show? i'm also wondering if penny will be cut too... I didn't see any female dwarfs in the war reenactment, and I figured they would've focused more on her, if she was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see any female dwarfs in the war reenactment, and I figured they would've focused more on her, if she was there. There was never any announced casting of Coldhands, so that one seems likely. Penny...I honestly don't know what this show is going to do for the next two seasons or so. So many weird plot lines with new characters and the like. However, TV networks love love stories so I'm sure they'll get Penny in eventually. Sort of like how they did with Dontos, they don't accent characters much until they really need them.

thejesseb Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I read an article where the producers of the show said that they would only be doing 7 or 8 seasons. Wonder how they will wrap up the series if they decide not to cover all of the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesomexloveus Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 coldhands seems pretty important to the bran storyline (which is admittedly my least favorite, though potentially very important to the overarcing story), so i dunno how they could cut him all together. penny was much less integral to everything, so i could see where she might be cut. THEN AGAINNNN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 The Bran story is almost definitely my least favorite in the books. I'm hoping the payoff makes it worth it, it's just so separated from everything else at this point, even more than Daenerys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_jones Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Yea I think Bran interacting with the heart tree kind of removed the need for Coldhands, unfortunately. Guess that means we won't get the epic battle with the Nights Watch Wights on the hillside where Bran fights as Hodor. I assume Penny is gone, unless they re-introduce her some other way.

I would think they need that battle just to pump some energy into his story, gotta make show watchers a little more excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Also, a rumor I read for the show was that Bronn has already been bought out and Shae hasn't left on the ship yet. Pretty good theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Bronn bought out? I just thought he kind of cut and run once Tyrion was fucked. I definitely don't think Shae left, and as they say... hell hath no furry like a woman scorned...

But I mean he was married to get land, sort of getting him on the other side at this point could make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I mean they probably can still incorporate it, but won't be the same without Coldhands doing work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_jones Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 At the wedding last night, you can clearly see Olenna pop one of the stones off of Sansa's necklace at the start of the feast. They also made it a point to show her several times throughout the episode. She also had that casual stroll with Tywin to discuss "young love" aka Margery and Tommen. BTW the new actor they brought in for Tommen is such a huge departure from how he was portrayed in the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he is more interested in cats than.... ya know.... But still.. at least find a plump/jolly looking teenager. Not Joffrey 2.0.

batman Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 the scene i'm most looking forward to now (besides a few other important deaths/reveals) is cersei's walk of shame through the streets of KL xadamhudsonx and dave_jones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhitmuzik Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 So does anyone read ASOIAF forums? They're so hard to keep up with but I try to read once in a while. So many crazy fan theories, this group of people is insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one in particular that I really hope is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a whole lot of sense. I definitely think it's going to be a Jon and Daenerys end game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
