re: The Tower of Joy - Illustrated (Massive SPOILERS for Game of Thrones and ASOIAF)

I've read in several places that the writers have stated they WILL NOT include flashbacks on the show...

I don't think that means we'll never see ToJ/ KotLT,"The dragon has three heads", etc, but it will be in the context of a narrative or relaying of the story from one character to the other...

I would LOVE to get my hands on the pilot, though, just to see what could've been...these pics haunt me...





(For those not familiar)

"...a notable scene cut was a flashback scene featuring the execution of Brandon Stark at the hands of the Mad King." Actors were cast for this scene and it was filmed, even appearing in some trailers, but ultimately was not used. The scene did not even appear on DVD or Blu-Ray releases of the season.

I can't help but think this was a bone of contention between GRRM and the writers of the show/director of S1 ep1...apparently the director of the pilot had every intention of using flashbacks...
