I feel like I'm not really all that hyped for this season.
Of course I'm going to watch it religiously anyway, but as a bookfag I am definitely interested in seeing what direction it'll take given that the plot it has now overtaken the actual books.

The first season was very close the the books but they seem to have changed a lot of shit just for the sake of it, even before they ran out of books to script from.
I was so fucked off we didn't see Lady Stoneheart's story or Tyrion's magical boat journey through all the sunkern ancient cities.
Hardholme was a huge duissapointment too, so damn creepy with the screaming cliffs behind the town, thing's moving in the water and slavers coming and taking the wildling women and children, pretending they're rescuing them? lolno, whitewalkers immediately, so skary.

You're on D&D's wild ride. At this point I've made the mental separation that I'm not watching ASOIAF, I'm watching GoT. The books can afford to be more intricate and take their time. GoT can't, so they're just winging it at this point.

Jon = ice.
Daenerys = fire.

Jon snow is not the son of Eddard Stark, but rather being the son born as a result of the coupling between the "assumed" abducted Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen. Eddard continues to refer to Jon as a Stark because he is half-Stark.
As Lyanna's dying wish she pleaded with her brother to take in Jon and protect his lineage, knowing that the Baratheons would come for him otherwise, i.e. "Promise me, Ned".

Daenerys is the daughter of Aerys Targaryen, Jon the son of Rhaegar Targaryen, making Daenerys his aunt.

Targaryens have traditionally coupled within their family lines for thousands of years.

Jon and Daenerys r goin' 2 shag m8 and rule the land = A Song of Ice and Fire.

I know this was figured out literally eons ago but thought I'd distribute it here anyway.

No. 88544

>>88538
As someone who hasn't followed the fandom for either this makes a lot of sense to me. Especially since I think it's obvious HBO's pushed Daenerys and Jon to be favorites.

It also makes me wonder if this is their nod to ADWD where Dany's actual nephew Aegon who was originally supposed to meet up with her back in Slaver's Bay to take her as his bride.

A guy that worked on the production have confirmed that they Bran and Meera are rescued by Benjen Stark, who proceeds to guide them to the wall. At first I was a bit sketchy about whether or not he was legit, but every thing he said about the most recent episode turned out to be true, so if you're interested, spoilers inc.

Davos comes across Stannis' old camp near Longlake, where Shireen was sacrificed. He discovers the remnants of the wooden stag-figure he made for her and confronts Melisandre. She admits to sacrificing her on a pyre.

Jon and Sansa go to war against Ramsay, A.K.A Bastardbowl. Ramsay sets Rickon loose across the field and allows him to run towards Jon, firing arrows haphazardly in his direction. Just as he reaches Jon, Ramsay looses one for real. It pierces Rickon and he dies in Jon's arms. Ramsay is subsequently captured and imprisoned.

Arya eventually decides against poisoning the actress and instead attempts to flee. Jaqen H'ghar orders Arya's death and sends the Waif after her, whom Arya fights and manages to kill.

The Brotherhood Without Banners is no more. The remnants, led by Thoros of Myr are basically "thieves of the highway" in the Riverlands. Ian McShane's former knight-turned priest character (along w. several other people) are ambushed by the "Brotherhood"-remnants. One of the men accompanying Ian's character is The Hound. Not sure if Ian McShane's character is killed, but several others in their company are killed by the Brotherhood, and the Hound is forced to fight them. He battles Thoros of Myr 1 on 1, and wins.

Cersei's request for a trial by combat is rejected by The Faith, however Cersei does set UnGregor on a bunch of sparrows, including Septa Unella (Shame. Shame. Shame), whom he proceeds to "have his way with". Qyburn kills Grand Maester Pycelle.

Jamie organises a coup on The Faith, however upon arriving at the steps of the faith with an army, Tommen and Margaery appear bearing the the symbol of The Faith on their garments as they have sided with The High Sparrow.

In the Riverlands, Brienne and Pod arrives in Jamie's camp. Bronn surprises Pod by "strangling" him as his way of saying hello. Brienne and Jamie have a discussion in Jamie's tent. He doesn't like that she is siding with the Tullys, while she explains the situation in the North, however Jamie refuses to believe in the Others, and explains that he has been sent to deal with the Tullys, not the Boltons. Not his problem etc.
Brienne goes inside Riverrun to meet with the Blackfish. Jamie forces Edmure Tully to surrender Riverrun, as he is the lord, not the Blackfish. Blackfish shoots arrows after the Lannisters. A battle ensues inside Riverrun, and Brienne is barely able to escape. The Blackfish is presumably killed off-screen

At the end of the season Tommen dies after throwing himself out of a window of The Red Keep. The why was never elaborated on, but it's intended to parallel what Jamie and Cersei did to Bran.

It was actually supposed to be:

>Bran is enduring the vision at Winterfell, and a young Hodor catches his attention

>Bran is unaware that in the present his party is under attack by the Others and their wights
>he hears an echo of Meera screaming "Bran! Warg into Hodor! You have to warg into Hodor!
>Brinden Rivers/The 3-Eyed Raven is murdered by an other, and upon having his corporeal form dissipate in the vision, it appears that Bran is now visible to past-Hodor, who turns and stares at him
>as Hodor is staring at Bran, the echoes of Meera's screams of "Hold the door! Hold the door!" echo through that reality
>some kind of connection is established, and Hodor of the past experiences Hodor of the present's death (his own death), and falls to the ground in an apparent seizure
>his mind is completely destroyed by the experience, leaving behind only the echo of the last thing he heard in the present (Holy the door>Hodor)

>dreamboat
Show-canon probably diverges and simplifies him into a sweet dude, though. I'm actually more pissed that he's ugly as hell and they just dumped Viserys's ratty ass wig on him. Really ruined the grandiosity of pre-Robert's Rebellion's lore, imo.

Also, RIP Varys's importance now that the Griff arc was snuffed out. My poor perfumed eunuch.

I haven't read the side stories, but I'm nervous of future adaptations of the ASOIAF world. I hope they treat them more like a mini-series so we can get something like GOT S1.

No. 203834

the worst things to happen in the season:
- HOW viserion was killed off
- HOW jon Snow was saved after falling behind
- HOW easy Samwell Tarly counted 1 and 1 together after coincidentally copying a random book in the citadelle
- HOW DAENERYS DIDNT SEEM TO FUCKING CARE ABOUT THE DEATH OF ONE OF HER BABIES LIKE SERIOUSLY ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
YES KILL OF MY DRAGON AND THEN AFTERWARDS LET ME JUST FUCK THIS YOUNG LAD THAT IS HERE WHAT A GREAT TIME TO BE ALIVE
- HOW arya behaves
- that the white walkers are more like zombies from the walking dead now, like thank you, if I wanted to watch the walking fucking dead I wouldve watched the walking fucking dead

It's just all to clear that George R.R. Martin was not involved into developing the story like it was before with everything.

The only good thing about the season was Cersei still being Cersei.

I can even predict the ending of the series in some way or the other.

This season was predictable as fuck - hell, even the shots were - but I enjoyed it. The threat isn't human anymore, it's not about conspiracies, houses or who sits on the throne anymore. Now it's 100% fantasy, next season will be all about fighting White Walkers and wights, who's still alive (not Cersei kek) gets the throne.
It's going to be Tyrion or Jon

No. 203867

I'm so glad we can discuss this here, because I agree with all your points. This season was too Hollywood like and was definitely not like the past seasons that made it good. Even dumb redditors recognize the big changes even tho they are satisfied with it.
I was mostly pissed off about how rushed jonerys. I know they have such little time but they could have added some really close bonding scenes over other scenes that were basically filler. And viserion dying with Daenerys acting calm was retarded. She claims they're her children, yet she cares more about Jon snow. That scene legit reminded me of this single mother I used to know who would drop her kids for her bfs

Sorry for samefagging but yeah I agree it's mostly fantasy now, and all the showfags use this as a defense to all the inconsistencies.

I'd add
-Why did they recast Dickon Tarly only to kill him off in that way? t. Billy Bones lover that was looking forward for naked Tom Hopper
-Samwell didn't react to his father and brother getting roasted alive because he doesn't know yet or…?
And this ones that grinded my gears pretty hard,
-Samwell wasn't fucking paying attention when Gilly was reading about Rhaegar's annulment, he didn't react, interrupted her and gave the book to the kid. Now in 7x07 it turns out he heard it and tells Bran about it?
-Jon's stupid plan of kidnapping a wight to show Cersei when she has an UNDEAD GUARD by her side all the time. The wight being the only one that doesn't fall down when Jon knocks down the White Walker close to him, which causes all the other wights around to fall, all of them BUT one. Daenerys bringing all the three dragons along, I could see one dragon dying in that exact moment. Couldn't D&D think of something smarter, like bringing a freshly dead corpse over the Wall and just wait for it to come back as a wight? But nooo, they just had to give a dragon to the Night King
-Arya and Sansa's plan to frame Littlefinger that was the most predictable thing of the season next to the NK acquiring a dragon that spits blue fire and knocks down the Wall
-Euron's fleet teleporting and passing through Dragonstone multiple times without getting roasted by dragons

Every time someone has expressed shock at any of the events you just listed, or any other super predictable things once D&D surpassed ASoIaF, I roll my eyes.

I liked it more when they were following the books but that's sort of impossible now since Martin doesn't seem to be getting around to finishing the series. The characters and politics are intriguing. Honestly, I don't give a shit about male gaze or medieval sexism. Though I will say the show added more gratuitous sex scenes than were necessary. I guess they had to fill up that time slot a bit. And besides, this last season was way more grrrl power than anything else.
