Euron's scenes next episode should be big. If they take his speech from the novels then you've got one of the greatest villainous monologues of all time, and with an actor like Pilou Asbaek it could be quite a sight.

and seeing Yara cry like a little *****

True. Maybe I should have said book theories going forward? Like Bastard Bowl and Hound v. Mountain.

I just can't wait for Stannis' flying head with laser eyes flying around the battle for winterfell.

like Blind in Zelda

 

[The Apocalypse]

Coldhands/Benjen *praying*

Can't really add much more since we are in unknown territory.

Eurons Kingsmoot speech should be awesome .... *praying again*

I'm looking forward to that speech the most.

 

[Roose Bolton]

I do not remember this speech. However, what do you think the chances are we get it, more or less intact?

Well I had originally thought there was a 0% chance before, as I do with most book dialogue, but seeing his scene with Balon makes me now think otherwise. They used a surprising amount of book dialogue for that scene, so that kind of makes me think they like his mad, verbose nature.

 

[Reek]

We are the ironborn, and once we were conquerors. Our writ ran everywhere the sound of the waves was heard. My brother would have been content with the cold and dismal north, my niece with even less ... but I shall give you Lannisport. Highgarden. The Arbor. Oldtown. The riverlands and the Reach, the kingswood and the rainwood, Dorne and the marches, the Mountains of the Moon and the Vale of Arryn, Tarth and the Stepstones. I say we take it all! I say, we take Westeros.

I love her in the books. She is so annoying on the show to me. I don't know exactly why...

And yes, that needs to happen.

"I spill their blood upon the sea and sow their screaming women with my seed. Their little gods cannot stop me, so plainly they are false gods. Crow's Eye, you call me. Well, who has a keener eye than the crow? After every battle the crows come in their hundreds and their thousands to feast upon the fallen. A crow can espy death from afar. And I say that all of Westeros is dying. Those who follow me will feast until the end of their days."

Yep, can't do one of these speeches properly without a bit of rape.

 

[Marvolo]

About Euron's speech in the books, he claims he will use the horn Dragonbinder to bind Dany's dragons to his will. During the Kingsmoot, Cragorn blows the horn and as a result he dies because it burns his lungs to a crisp. Do yall think that only a Targ can blow the horn and that is because it was made in Valyria and is imbued with Valyrian magic? If so, how the hell does Euron expect to use the thing himself? Does he explain that part of his plan in AFFC or ADWD? I cant remember if he does or not.

first speech like that we got... Drogo... I WILL SAIL ACROSS THE POISON WATER AND RAPE THEIR WOMEN!

He doesn't explain it, but that's the danger. He gives it to Victarion basically like giving a loaded pistol to a kid and there's some implication that he's playing yet another sadistic game with his brother and the Targaryens. Supposedly the horn is locked to a certain master, and that's different from whoever blows the horn.The dragons will go to the horn's set master, not the hornblower. So he may have used Blood magic to bind the horn and its potential victims to himself.

It's something that should be taken seriously, given that the Warlocks of Qarth were giving this guy lessons before he forced them to cannibalise one another. Not to mention several red priests read in the flames that the greatest enemy to face Dany is "A Tall and Twisted thing with ten long arms and one blue eye." Dany herself has a nightmare of his coming in ADWD.

 

[Reek]

Warlocks? Qarth? What are these things you speak of? Quaithe? WHO?

Season 2 has been erased from the show.

Christ, they have not mentioned Qarth at all have they? they mention all the other cities but i can't recall Qarth.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Euron mentions Qarth in his speech to Balon, I think the last time we see the Warlocks was in the first episode of season 3.

 

[Reek]

Oh yea they changed his speech to throw in Qarth... like it matters no one in the GA knows what qarth is anymore

QA^rth... not Qarth.

LeviosA^^^ not leviosa.

*His wife sits there smiling*

As people get shocked that violence happens on GoT.

 

[Victarion]

There was the scene where Euron had some Lord's wife and daughters stripped naked while they served his crew. Even Victarion was a bit overwhelmed by it.

So... instead of going back to the Tower of Joy... we're getting another winterfell flashback ... then another with The Night's King? come onnnn

Bran looks pissed in that photo, and who is that walking in the opposite direction behind him? Lyanna?

 

[Reek]

Nah I doubt it is Lyanna... probably someone random... it looks like he was talking to the 3ER and saw something then walked away while 3ER is still looking at something else.

 

[Victarion]

Reckon we'll get an adaptation of the Stark connection to the Night's King via these flashbacks?

 

[Reek]

well.. if recent info I have received is true, we only see the walkers one episode. so who knows.

 

[Victarion]

well.. if recent info I have received is true, we only see the walkers one episode. so who knows.

You know I'm not a snitch. winkwink

 

[Reek]

Exactly what a snitch would say

I believe in loyalty, ser.

 

[Victarion]

Never once have I lost my marbles and started shouting about Farwynd.

 

[Roose Bolton]

The Night's King only gets one big scene this year, as I understand it and it's to do with something else.
