Sucks if Barristan is dead, but you have to remember that it may not have been the writers' decision. The actor playing Barristan could have wanted off the show or gotten some other role, forcing the writers' hand. Don't have that problem with books.

Or it could've been Benioff and Weiss screwing with the book readers. It definitely shocked most in this thread.

judging by the fact that they didnt show barristan getting his throat slit and they showed him laying down in the preview, im going to hold out hope that theyre waiting for a healer or something. idk why they would just not have his throat get slit otherwise. having him laying there in the preview also seems pretty red herring-y.

pretty sure theyre killing him and theyre gonna have jorah play his part though. just like theyre doing with mance and tormund.

If "I would shatter it" doesn't make the show in some form or fashion, ill be so pissed

Has anyone mentioned that Cersei is sending Meryn Trant to his death via needle over in Braavos? I am pumped to see this, and the fact that the show is keeping the Iron Bank in the loop. Sending the goofball Tyrell to deal with them doesnt bode well for the current powers in Kings Landing.

Cersei wanted to get papa Tyrell out of the way so she could imprison Loras, or was he not the Tyrell she turned in to the High Sparrow.

eta: now that I've made sure this is the reader thread, I can say that Loras getting arrested is just a red herring for the Hodors so they think he is the one Cersei turned in, when we know it is Margaery.

Good pick up there


On another note, does it seem like the David's hate us book readers? It's like they purposefully change things that had no need to be changed, they just do it to screw with us?

Yea, let's talk about Cersei for a minute. She sent him away in the books right? Did she send that Kingsguard guy with him too? Wasn't Margary and her brother arrested on the same day?

How did you find out?

It proves you should probably not read the books. I’ve read the books. So I thought this season I was going to have more to do, and I was really looking forward to that. And then I got my dates from my agent and I thought, ‘That doesn’t tally.’ Because there was no way if they were sticking to the books that I should be in for that number of weeks. It seemed to me they must be writing me out. So I had a word with the line producer and said, “Can you corroborate that they’re writing me out?” Then the [showrunners] rang me and told me, ‘Your time is up in this series.’ So perhaps I took them by surprise that I knew.

LF to Sansa: "How many tens of thousands had to die because Rhaegar chose your aunt?..... Or how many had to die because I poisoned John Arynn? shite, your whole family would probably be alive and well here at Winterfell if I didn't slip Ayrn the tears. Really makes you wonder sometimes."
