Eh, I disagree. It has a few parts here and there. I wouldn't call it a very big topic.
Leaving Shireen out is kinda strange, I was wondering who would be cast as her.
They Greyscale is a bigger deal than people realize. On that boat trip through the Valaryan ruins Tyrion almost contracted greyscale.
Shireen is feared by the wildlings for having it. I think it has a significant role in the upcoming book.,

Gee thanks for saying the same thing I did
I still believe they will introduce shireen in a later season. There really is no reason for her to get screen time this season.
I will be hugely dissapointed if they attempt to completely write her out though.

sorry, replied before I fully read.
I do think explaining greyscale will be necessary.

It is a absolutel must. It will play a huge part in future books. Jon Connington has it and he has now become a huge player in the song of ice and fire

Considering Tyrion almost gets it and Griff (Jon Connington) does get it I would consider it a big deal. Not to mention how much the wildlings talk about and fear it.
Please just consider the POVs of Quentyn Martell in reference to this. Complete waste. He wasn't in the book long enough to provide any type of attachment. He only has 2 interactions with the major characters of the series (Dany & Selmy). Did we need all the background of him getting to Meeren just to kill him off so quickly?
He had a much bigger part than any greyscale. All he was needed for was to release the dragons. No need to POV a character for such a small role.

looks like they've written Jojen and Meera out of Bran's arc this season, yet give Ros even more screen time so that LF has more "depth". This was one of my least favorite episodes, not sure I can put my finger on why though

He also wasn't the guy responsible for another claimant to the crown either though was he?
The difference is Jon Connington HAS this disease and it will play a huge part in upcoming books. Therefore it will play a huge part in upcoming seasons of the show. It must be explained fully.

That really bothers me but maybe they are saving it for next season
Not sure why though they already have plenty on their plate with SOS

Definitely my biggest complaint is the lack of Hodors.

Greyscale could also be worked into the prophecies, and considering just one person with it could cause the spread of an epidemic it's pretty big.
And WTF, not casting the Reeds? So I guess they don't cast the two young Walders the wards of Bran at Winterfel?

No, I don't have anything concrete. JS'ing I could see GRRM work it in somehow as part of the big picture elemental war. Mainly due to the magician guy surviving it with his powers

I guess it could be possible but I feel like we're getting kind of late in the game for more prophecies. I just see it being a major plot point for Jon Connington.

This is all your assumptions. Connington could get killed of in the first chapter in the next book. It's not like it's out of the realm of what GRRM does. Hell, it's probably more likely than him playing a huge role in the final 2 books. Let's not forget that Connington wasn't even mentioned in the first 4 books. He can be dispatched just as easily.

You must have forgotten about the story Arya heard about the Battle of the Bells.
and Its your assumption that it won't be a big deal, the fact is we don't know and neither do the writers so as long as it looks like it will be a big deal it needs to be treated as such.

Same. The guy already has such a sad story, with his backstory and all, only to now find out he can't even physically marry due to the disease. With GRRM I can't tell if he will have Connington shine and get redemption/revenge, or continue to make him such a tragic figure. Id be perfectly fine with the latter, since all other characters have pointed out his flaws and shortcomings. That and I really don't want more and more attachments to Dany's entourage.

quote:not to mention the complications of pushing it back. Assuming Winterfell is sacked this season, is it burned to the ground w/ no Ramsey Bolton cast? If it is burned, does Bran attempt to go N of the wall w/ just he and Hodor? If Osha goes w/ them in place of the Reeds, what about Rickon?
That really bothers me but maybe they are saving it for next season
Not sure why though they already have plenty on their plate with SOS
Maybe Luwin survives the raid and dies on the journey and then they bring in the Reeds
I'd still like to see them cover the green dreams etc being that they're such a factor in why Bran goes on his journey

I think they will be viewed as enemies to Dany more than an "entourage"
Remember the mummers dragon?

Back to this for a second...
You don't think a prince of Dorne's marriage to the last known Targaryen was a big deal? If Dany had the support of Dorne when returning to Westeros, every house that opposed Stannis & Lannister would join her cause. She'd take over the 7 kingdoms in easy fashion.
That's not a big deal to you?
Don't worry, he killed off his worthless POV pretty easily.

If she would've married him then yes it would have been a HUGE deal. But she did not.
And I never said it wasn't a big deal. You said that, I just thought it was boring reading that ended up not amounting to anything until the last chapter.
