It was pet day yesterday too... #PETA

and the lounge died.

I hear eating chicken makes people's penises small.

 

[Reek]

well good thing i have no pork sausage.

 

[TheFuture]

I've seen a few frustrations at the idea of Sansa possibly

Spoiler

rejoining with the LF and the Army of the Vale as some seem to think it makes her entire S5 plot redundant.

To be fair to the guys though I think they're covered on this one. Littlefinger himself admitted to Ramsay that Ramsay was an enigma in that he knows very little about him.

Then again, Littlefinger knew what the Boltons were.......namely scum.

I guess it all plays into Littlefinger's diatribe about chaos being a ladder, so if he did know what he was dropping Sansa into, it will be interesting to see him try and waffle his way out of it. To sell it as something that had to happen in order to unite the houses behind her (and him) and regain the North.

Hopefully Sansa stabs him in the eye anyway/

 

[Reek]

I don't think Sansa rejoins LF and the Vale... the opposite actually. LF joins Sansa and the North in the BoW.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

And then Jon cuts his head off.

 

[Reek]

Littlefinger will never die. How dare you.

 

[BrollySupersj]

I'm so glad they aren't holding back with the White Walkers now. No doubt this is the story I want to see more of than any other. Showing them in roughly every trailer gives me the feeling they'll play their largest role yet. Maybe have more than a few appearences in each episode.

Fingers crossed.

[Roose Bolton]

He doesn't fly so good.

 

[Marvolo]

He doesn't fly so good.

Knowing Littlefinger, that ****er would sprout wings and fly off laughing and talking about how chaos is a fly on a horse's ass or some other philosophical nonsense.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Plus he has access to a jet pack or teleportation device of some kind that allows him to travel across the continent as quickly as he does.

"I just felt as if I didn't get it, and had I read the books, I might have had a better idea of the role of the character - what he was meant to be. It might've helped."

It's interesting, D&D advised Dillane, Cunningham and McElhatton not to read the books when they joined in Season 2 because it could interfere with their scripts. McElhatton read some of them anyway, and Liam isn't a big reader but Dillane has complained before that he never got any info out of D&D about who his character was and his history, it was only when Bryan Cogman asked him to do the voice over work for the History and Lore of Season 2 that he learnt Stannis military victories. It's a shame Stephen never got the chance to actually get into the characters motivations from the novels.

 

[Marvolo]

Reminds me of Michael Gambon. He never read the Harry Potter books when he was playing Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films.

 

[Roose Bolton]

To be fair to Dillane, none of the major cast aside from Kit Harrington and Pilou Asbaek have read all of the novels.

 

[Reek]

Gambon read the books... he just doesn't remember due to an intense acid trip.

 

[Marvolo]

Gambon read the books... he just doesn't remember due to an intense acid trip.

That would explain a lot about Dumbledore in POA...

 

[Reek]

 

[Marvolo]

For a long time Dumbledore didnt know that everyone could see the paintings moving.

 

[Drizzle]

Gambon read the books... he just doesn't remember due to an intense acid trip.

Must've been a bad trip.

 

[Victarion]

Did Dillane ever respond to his character's history after he did the voiceovers?

 

[Reek]

It's probably what caused him to tell McShane to butt **** D&D with spoilers

 

[Reek]

Must've been a bad trip.

Before he took the acid, he was older... less mobile...

then... then he took too much

It is infuriating how hard they dropped the ball on Stannis. They made so many changes to the texts that worked wonderfully (combining Jon with Coldhands, having Jaime train/work with Bronn,) and yet mutilated a character and their arc because they did not like them. Grr.

 

[Reek]

Combining Jon with Coldhands????

 

[jonathancrane]

Combining Jon with Coldhands????

Coldhands neutralized the 'Watch defectors, who were trying to head south, after they depleted Craster's resources. Jon took on the responsibility of eliminating them for a pragmatic reason.

 

[Reek]

ahh. ok then... i was about to smack you thinking you were saying jon snow was coldhands lol
