    while yes, its not like he is a plot driven character. Bronn had very few scenes written for him, but he was so good they wrote him more. Same with Ros the whore in season1-3

    but yeah sure, he could die too

    as for Jon, thats debatable/semantics, as he only felt the cold "what people say they feel when white walkers are approaching"

    You just tried to sell me on a character's survival by citing a character that was killed off.

    (BOOKS)
    And Jon is dead as of the end of DWD. Nobody believes he's permanently dead, but he was stabbed in the back and died there. There is so little debate about this.

    BOOK SPOILER
    I think it has actually been spoiled that he is a PoV character in the next book so
    That doesn't mean he's not dead. Melisandre is right there.

    Like I said, nobody buys that he's permanently dead, but he is unambiguously dead.

    it hasnt, all George has said is "oh you think hes dead, do you?" to an interview-er who asked him about the end of Book 5. George has also said "Jon will learn of his parentage", but lots of people think its from the Bran chapter that was taken out of aDwD for tWoW

    there are leaked scripts going around that pretty much say the season will end on Jon being wounded, clinging to life, and then being thrown onto the back of a White Walker horse. End season

    it makes me happy cause I wanted Undead Jon Starkgaryen to conquer westeros and Essos and ice age the world

    More to the point, if GRRM says the show is gonna kill off a character that's not dead on the show, he definitely doesn't mean "the show has a scene I wrote in my book and it happens just as I wrote it."

    I'm of the opinion that the show and the book are two entirely different stories at this point while sharing general themes.

    Oh, and the show is better.

    BOOYAH!

    I don't think a "booyah" is necessary. No one's slinging hate around.

    I like the show more than the books too, it's just a preference.

    The person who dies ahead of the books will probably be
    Tommen

  • fRAWRstfRAWRst The Seas Call The Mad AnswerRegistered User regular
    I find the combined aFfC and aDwD reading set much more enjoyable

    switching back and forth between books can be a pain but its clear that it is how the story paces were designed. Cersei first chapter ends with her thinking about tyrion in the walls, next chapter is tyrion 1 where hes drinking across the sea

    really well done, and in audio book its quite easy to setup a playlist

    Who is this King Joffy anyway?

    Sounds like an usurper and false pretender to the crown to me.

    bronn no longer plays a part in the books so it wouldn't really matter if they killed him off

    Bronn's wrapped up in the show, he's got a wife and is on his way to becoming landed. They can still do things with the character but the end of season 4 was definitely closing the door on Bronn as he was. even if they do future storylines he'll be a changed character.

    its true, but in aFfC he becomes Lord Stokeworth and starts amassing sell swords in very close proximity to Kings Landing. Some people speculate that he'll help Aegon

    but it doesnt really matter, as anyone in the show can take that place

    J3qcnBP.png
  • JarsJars Registered User regular
    that's not a theory I would put any stock in
    there's no way bronn has any idea who aegon is at the time he becomes lord of stokeworth. it might come to that at some point, but right now? that is absolutely not a thing bronn is planning

  • PsykomaPsykoma Registered User regular
    The only reason I saw for that was
    Bronn knew/knows Cersei is more than a little nutty especially when it comes to people who were or are close to Tyrion, and he doesn't want to lose his lordship or his head.

    I could see Bronn coming back in with a bunch of sellswords if Tyrion said he was coming back to King's Landing to depose Tommen. Otherwise he's one of the only characters (so far) to get ahead and stay ahead.

    Jon is a warg. He isn't dead, he can jump. And there is a king for him to jump to who has low shadow while he has high shadow.

    was tense as hell, even having read the books, because I love both of those characters so goddamn much

    Yeah, they've said 'the nipples were a mistake' as soon as they released preview pics and fans started complaining.

    The CEO of HBO just came out during Apple's event and stated that Apple/Apple TV will be the exclusive launch partner of HBO Now, which I think is what they're calling the standalone streaming service.

    EDIT: Yep, that's what it is. $14.99 per month, first month free, launches in April (in time for the new season of GoT), but its Apple exclusive at launch.

    well

    um

    I guess I'm not getting the standalone version then

    *glances at earmarked pile of money*

    maybe next year, HBO

    maybe next year.


    edit: oh, apparently the exclusivity is only for the app. You can subscribe and access the service from an internet browser at launch.

    I didn't read the wiki article closely enough.

    Ok, HBO, you can have my money.

    no they were paid in zaybucks which each feature an excerpt from your posting history in 200 point jokerman so i think we can assume the opposite
