dream on.

What do you mean?

I'm still alive. Clearly. Otherwise I wouldn't be posting here.

But did you come back as the Night's King and turn evil?

 

[dude stannis]

I will not suffer such abominatble writing here. This is not Arrow.

 

[Reek]

You will! You ARE AL-STAN-HIM the prophecy foretold you!

Smalljon Umber has been cast. I feel like some of this plot should've been done last season.

Can't have Stannis as a good guy.

Who plays him?

 

[Reek]

Smalljon dies at the RW in the books I believe... and no Greatjon?

 

[Victarion]

I believe one of the Umbers has been a prisoner since the RW in the show.

 

[Reek]

I don't recall the Umbers being mentioned at all after season 2, other than Bran sending Rickon.

Just having fun with the idea of Stannis coming back the way the new poster seems to indicate Jon is.

You know who else we haven't seen or heard from? Quaithe

But Stannis and Jon are both coming back? I don't get it!

Her and Syrio fled to Germany

 

[Roose Bolton]

So you're saying.... she's been filming Son of Saul?

 

[Reek]

Shes filming Son of Houten

 

[Victarion]

She's probably off doing Shirea Seastar things.

 

[Victarion]

I think King's Landing going up in wildfire will coincide with the Wall falling. Random thogubt as I was watching season two, but it totally fits the ice and fire motif.

The Dorne one feels out of place at this point in the series. Perhaps the season where Doran's master plan kicks in would be more appropriate. Anyway, great artwork. Not sure if I'll spring for Dany's or Bolton's cover.

My biggest critique of Dorne, here, is that it's like D/D went out of their way to make nothing happened with that plotline. If you take the time given to it, you'd have time to flesh out a Young Griff well enough. I still think they should've had him hiding out in Dorne if they weren't going to go the way of the books' queenmaker plot.

 

[Napoleon]

I agree with what Victarion said about Dorne.

Another problem I had was how poorly thought out the mission to retrieve Myrcella seemed to be. Jaime is part of one of the most influential families in Westeros and could have arranged say a diplomatic mission to Dorne as a cover for his real intentions, but he just decides to basically use brute force in order to get his way. So much spotty logic is at play here it just hurts my head thinking about it.

Puberty is hitting him like a truck on ice.

 

[Sawyer]

At least he looks male now.

 

[Victarion]

Is the horse taking the new dark lord of the White Walkers to the Heart of Ice?
