The old thread was long in the tooth so here is a new one to continue the discussion. I liked Yar's rules for the last one so I'll just copy them in to here:
Like so. Seriously, if you don't want spoilers, don't read this thread. Stop right now cause below this sentence? Thar be spoilers.
So this is the thread wherein we all talk about how great it'll be when Theon Greyjoy cleverly becomes king of Westeros, shortly preceding Asha's conquest of the world because they are the best ever.
#1 rule is no crying about something being spoiled, assuming it's already published material. If you haven't read all the books AND seen every aired show, then you are forbidden from accusing someone else of spoiling something for you. If you're posting an interview with GRRM where he talks about stuff that will happen in Book 6, yeah, that is the very epitome of a spoiler and must be tagged.
#2 rule, less important than #1, is to use your own best judgment and put tags around some things, like maybe details of TRW, or R-L-J theories, or major stuff from Book 5. Definitely anything about a show that hasn't aired (besides what we know from the books), or confirmed plot facts in books not yet published. Someone could very well click this thread by accident instead of the TV one, and they sure has hell don't want to see this in non-tagged form:
(major spoilers from books 3 - 5)Hey, remember when Robb and Catelyn were killed by the Freys, and Sansa married Tyrion, but then Catelyn came back as an evil zombie and Joff chokes to death and Tyrion murders his father, and Jamie sort of becomes a good guy? That was awesome.
#3 rule is to try to do what I did above and preface your spoiler tags with a very brief description of what kind of spoiler it is and about when it occurs in the series.
Like so. Seriously, if you don't want spoilers, don't read this thread. Stop right now cause below this sentence? Thar be spoilers.

Spoilerd for a big picture
I dont think theres much chance of the Ironborn electing a maimed eunuch King of the Iron Islands...
I can think of only one notable scene where Littlefinger has a boat. Looks like that confirms Joffrey's wedding for the fourth season. Lot of people expected that, but still.
I believe that's Asha's plan. Unfortunately that was before she saw Theon..
Steam - Minty D. Vision!
Origin/BF3 - MintyDVision
Well, if the people got tired of Euron in a hurry, it could be an excuse to redo, even if they're not actually going to crown the dude.
Then she had an even BETTER plan that shall see the Iron Islands rise again!
because apparently a handful of us didn't realize a new thread had been created
It's Stannis, probably Dragonstone. There's a picture of Melisandre that is actually just the other half of this picture.
Also, that's the third time today I've seen someone mention Geth agreeing with a post. Does it do something different when Geth agrees/awesome? I've seen no mention of it before today.
It's been happening for a day or so now. It just means what it sounds like: our benevolent robot overlord, Geth, is listed among the users who have agreed with or awesomed your post.
Beyond that, it doesn't really mean anything. IcyLiquid claims that even he can't predict whether Geth will react to a given post.
Well Jaime did grow a bit of a beard, but still, I wanted a badass bald Jaime with a big beard!

That picture is from episode 3, though. So if it's practical (and doesn't look dumb), they have plenty of time to do more.
That's one of the concessions of live action, though. The actor might not be able to grow a big beard.
Orell?
It's Beric Dondarrion
hmm
not sure I like his look, but we shall see.

and while I'm critiquing...
I like the rugged look of Mance, even if he isn't as handsome as described.
The Unsullied are a little different than I expected as well. I thought they had gold/bronze armor. I also pictured their helmets similar to WW1 German "spike" helmets, and less clothing almost 300 like... but I suppose these are more realistic.
But this version has some obvious advantages for TV, mostly the covered faces making it easy for them to do shots with lots of extras.
That appears to be a simple leather tunic. The only armor they have are the shields and helmets.
Given the nature of the picture, this seems to suggest Dany gets her army of Unsullied really, really early in the season. What will she be doing for the rest of it?
She has (in the book) at least two meetings in front of the army. The one where she pretends she doesn't understand the slaver, and then the one with the burning and the screaming. This could be the first one.
Ah, that makes sense. So, first half of season three she gets her army, second half she probably conquers Yunkai. Which means season four is just her conquering Mereen, which sounds a little lackluster. Then again, they'll probably want to save the bulk of the season four budget/screentime for Jon's adventures on The Wall.
Dany's season four appearances will largely consist of a quick shot showing her, sitting in Mereen, and someone saying "Are we leaving yet?" and she replies "I am just a young girl and know little of such things. A queen belongs to her people. If I look back, I am lost."
"My queen, you did not answer my question. When are we leaving Mereen to conquer Westeros?"
"I dunno. Just not feelin' it yet."
and then we cut back to Jon on The Wall.
But it was so hard to get through the first time.
All I remember is Cercei finally getting her comeuppance, Jamie being awesome, and way too many Brienne chapters.
More like A Feast for BORES.
Maybe just a synopsis then.
As for A Dance With Dragons, I just wish they hadn't gone there with Theon. Graphic depictions of torture and the psychological impact of that torture are not things I enjoy reading about. I need righteous justice (cathartic revenge) brought down upon Ramsay.
The best single passage in the whole series.
Much like the purple contacts the Targaryens origanally had, a bigger more disfiguring scar would probably be both dumb looking and uncomfortable for Dinklage to wear.
I was hoping they would make Dondarrion look a bit more corpsey though
Her belt is the giveaway.
I guess I just pictured her more like a kindly little old lady, with that fire.
Nothing, just like the book. Hundreds of pages scenes of her being wishy-washy with occasional action nearby that she never actually sees.
