Well they are supposed to be civilized and humanlike. In the book, GRRM describes them as almost dangerously attractive. The show did a poor job and made them out to be more zombie like than they are supposed to be.

Remember, the Nights King from the history was said to have married a strange, pale, almost corpse like bride...possibly a WW to bind a peace pact.

No, that's Maidenpool.

Anyone watching Tormund in those Wyndham hotel commercials? It's kind of odd.

Hardhome

Anybody know if Mother Mole was cast?

But, in the books I would say that "Dawn" is trending (a little) because of Darkstar.


I hate that the show doesn't have Darkstar in it. I guess he just isn't important to the story but reading the books I have always been extremely interested in him since Doran refers to him as "the most dangerous man ind Dorne"

I enjoyed him but understand him being cut. Agree he made Dorne interesting. As bad as the Samd Snakes are, the Areo Hotah beheading Aerys Oakheart chapter was awesome.

I'm really hoping R+L is one giant smokescreen.

Jon could still be the son of Ned Stark and Ashara Dayne. This might actually allow him to become the Sword of the Morning, and wield Dawn.

With that said, I would be shocked if R+L=J isn't true. But it would be kind of funny to see the meltdown if it is a smokescreen.

I understand it I just really like the Dorne chapters and am disappointed by the show portrayal so far. I'm not a book purist or anything but I was really hoping for some more insight into Darkstar.

Meltdown doesn't even begin to describe it

That would be so terrible

I've been spoiled on everything, so I don't care about them

Might start reading pretty soon

If Jon gets "Dawn" and becomes Sword of the Morning he should melt it down with Longclaw and create a new Valyrian sword named "Know nothing" but he will know where to put it.

Also question from a rewatch of Season 2 where Melisandre meets Arya when she takes Gendry away. She looks at Arya and says she sees three sets of eyes she will close forever, brown ones, green ones and blue ones. I wonder who she is alluding too...

It's funny because it's a fan theory that people love so much they refuse to accept another answer.


What if Jon is never revived and we never hear about his mother either way?

I think she was alluding to Arya becoming a Faceless Man.

It would be nuts if the first "scene" in WoW is Jon's body being burned to ashes. I wonder how many people would just throw their book down and refuse to pick it up again.

And then 980 pages of discussion on a progressive Dornish tax code and an EPILOGUE.



ETA: cause I'm stupid and don't remember the epilogue is at the end.

Because there's actual evidence to it. The only way it's not the case IMO is if GRRM decides he'd rather play the "gotcha" game instead of writing the story he intended to write
