Arya/Tywin-esque blessing in disguise IMO. Nobody wants to watch her arse linger forever.

Also, the show could still add Aegon later for the flow of the show and to stall some while waiting for WoW. Just a thought.

I could see it being an amazing cliffhanger with Connington, coming from out of nowhere, landing in the Stormlands and taking Griffon's Roost.

Douchebags.

My interpretation of that is that Rhaegar + Lyanna = The Polo guy on the shirt. But who are Jon Snow's parents?

Not one book reader can say that wasn't an upgrade from the books. I hope you are right about this scenario.

If you think about it, it's either that or watching Tyrion with Penny (not a fan) and Dany doing a whole lot of nothing.

I can't help but feel like Tyrion meeting up with Dany and Varys around is a significant upgrade.

Dany's story so far is a huge upgrade from the books

I'm not sure how I feel about them casting fricken' Baltar as Doran Martel:



On the one hand, that is nothing at all like I pictured Doran Martel would look.

On the other hand, I love the actor.

I imagined him like that, only slightly fatter.

he for sure could of been heavier cause I believe he has gout or probably diabetes

I know they stray from the books but I think they have the best intentions in what they do for the show.

I was pissed about LSH and if Aegon isn't there I'll be pissed too, but they do know more than us and hopefully they are trolling and it keeps us on edge until the book(s) come out

When Jaqen changed his face at the end of ACOK, did y'all take that as a glamour or a wig and mask? He ran his hand over his hair and face and it changed. Magic or practiced stagecraft?

Not sure how I pictured Doran to look. But I think he'll be a good fit just like Pedro was for Oberyn.

That's not Baltar, it's Alexander Siddig (Dr. Bashir on DS9)

It's been a while since I read the books, so I don't remember exactly how Doran is described, but I like the actor so I'm fine with the casting.

Dang. The guy that played Baltar did such a good job with the role I think he would have done well with Doran. I didn't watch enough of DS0 to form an opinion on the actor who played Bashir.

Hopefully he'll do well. Doran is a pretty cool character.

This will leave the show in an odd place, creatively. And there will be really only two options going forward. Either:

1) Martin will “guide” the showrunners through the last book(s), giving them everything from specific to broad plotlines, allowing the show to remain faithful to his vision for the series, but ultimately spoiling his own books, in effect.

2) Martin lets the showrunners forge their own path in the universe, and write essentially a “show ending” while he writes a “book ending.” This would save him from having the show essentially spoil a series he’s been working on for two decades, but it could produce some odd mutations near the end of the story.



good read

Alexander Siddig was really good in Kingdom of Heaven. Also watching the trailer and reading the posts in this thread, I'm stunned that Varys said "she". I hope this is for show purposes as the Aegon arc is one of my favorites in the books.
