That's as bad as them not remembering who Locke was in S4 when he was in S3 and cutting Jaime fricking Lannister's hand off.

She could be one of Littlefinger's whore spies
I don't think so. She's been around since season 2, was the one who prick-teased Theon before they cut off his penis, and has been shown to be insanely jealous. The show completely invented her for a reason, and the look on her face in the scene when Sansa arrives seems to indicate that she's about to lose it.

In the trailer for the season, there is a shot of she and Ramsay doing it. I think the scene is just to reacquaint the audience with her, remind us how crazy she is, and set the stage for her betrayal of Ramsay. Since there's no Manderly and Mance is really dead, someone has to shite on the Bolton wedding. Petyr seems to be taking the place of Manderly in some way, so I think the girl stands in for Mance and his spear wives, or tries to kill Sansa before being stopped by Reek. He's definitely showing signs of growing discontent.

What about Maester Aemon? His health is already failing. I wonder if they're going to skip the Oldtown voyage altogether.

Also, anyone else think the Waif is kinda hot? She has a sort of Bridget Fonda thing going on.

Yeah I'm not sure what they're planning with Ramsay's whore either. Should be interesting.

I'm thinking they skip the Oldtown voyage altogether...but then again I think it's Sam's destiny to study to become a Maester at the very least (even if he doesn't fully commit to becoming one, a la Oberyn).

I'm thinking Aemon dies sometime this season for sure.

So, I've come up with a show Crackpot theory: what if Varys actually tipped Jorah off in order to get him to directly bring Tyrion to Dany, and then Varys will go on his way to see Aegon from here? Nicolae did hint at the duck earlier this season, so we may still get Aegon.

The book and show's versions of the Tyrion/Shae relationship are very different. The show made Shae out to be the love of his life who happened to be a whore. Book Shae was a straight up whore and he knew it.
I agree with this for the most part.
quote:

With Shae, he knew she was a whore but, against his better judgement, began to fall in love with her anyway. She also seemed to have feelings for him. Then, she betrayed him. He was once again heartbroken and killed her with vengence more passionate than just "you sold me out". No, he was crushed.

I agree that he fell for her, despite his better judgement, but there was no real indication that she had feelings for him. She was a lot more sympathetic on the show, pretty one-dimensional in the books.

Reasonable deduction.

He does. His funeral was in one of the trailers.

Also Ramsey says he flayed Lord Cerwyn. What's Cerwyn's last name?


Cerwyn is the last name

Medger died at Harrenhal, when Ayra was there. Then Cley was killed in battle by Ramsey.

As soon as I saw that I figured Varys knew Jorah was there and what he would do if he saw the imp. That's why he finally relented and let him out at that particular spot. What are the odds that it was a coincidence that they were there at that exact same time.

One of my favorite scenes from the show.

Where is this chapter? All I could find was an "Alayne" chapter...

While I would have liked to have seen it, I'd say that's something you do right after Tywin's funeral. They didn't really delve on it for too long, so I doubt it.

Apparently more carefully than you did. She never gives me any indication that she's doing any more than sweet talking him like whores do. She also keeps mentioning the gold and jewels he promised her.

Book Shae was no mo than a ho.

Which is why Mel starts to see Jon instead of Stannis...the interpretations of the visions change as the circumstances change.

Btw as a book reader, I forgot this simple fact. How did Mel meet Stannis in the first place? I haven't read the books in nearly 2 years.
