It's happening people.

Spoiler

 

[Reek]

yep.. there's quite a few leaked pics

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Are we allowed to post leaked photos? Oh that is right, this is legally gained material. Not actual leaks.

 

[Reek]

Is there a reason you are trying to be a dick? Just curious.

Once again... Leaks are bits of info, pics, etc... that were not intended to be seen by the public. If you have a problem, make a thread and discuss that ******** there instead of spreading it to more threads.

Dude if you don't want to talk about it, don't. Why did you even reply to my post? But the rules are here, you aren't allowed to post leaked material. I know because I couldn't post any thing from TFA last year. Can't even post those recorded videos of a trailer off a theater screen. If we are allowed to post those here, it proves the point.

 

[Reek]

Why did I even reply to you rpost? Probably for the same reason you needlessly acted like a smart ass and posted "Are we allowed to post leaked photos? Oh that is right, this is legally gained material. Not actual leaks. "

I guess it never crossed your mind that legally gained material can also be leaked material that is not intended to be seen by the public.... Since it's legally gained, it's allowed.


But whatever... I'll continue to call them what i please, and i assume having to see your needless jabs every time.

 

[Reek]

Anyways...

Pretty excited about seeing [BLACKOUT]Jon and Theon.[/BLACKOUT]

It is very simple. You can't leak something being shot out in the public. By its very nature, it isn't a leak, because it is on display and it is not hidden. These spoilers, yes. They are not leaks. If it were a leak, legal action would be being taken. That isn't happening.

 

[Reek]

As I have said... If it's not intended to be seen by the public, it's a leak to me. Instead of being your usual argumentative self... Ignore me if it's a problem. XOXO

I have no problems with this conversation and haven't had any since it started. By filming in public, by the very nature it is going to be seen by the public. They know that, it is why even though they know the cameras are there, you aren't seeing them all covered up between takes. They have been filming in Spain for a long time now, they know what comes with it.

On another note. It seems more and more like the leaked plot points are being shown to be correct with every day of filming that occurs. Even [BLACKOUT]Ser Jorah[/BLACKOUT] was spotted in town today.

 

[Reek]

Jorah... thanks for reminding me they wasted time and budget on Meereen again

****ing hell.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Spoiler

Isn't he suppose to be headed back to Westeros to run into Sam? Still yeah, wasting money on Mereen at this point sounds just like that. A waste.

 

[Reek]

The only reason I see for Meereen to be involved is [BLACKOUT]Jorah... So I guess he goes there to ask for a ship or something... waste indeed... it was perfect to leave Essos completely last season. Daario isn't even big with the fans so not sure wtf thats about[/BLACKOUT]

Spoiler

I know my mother is going to miss the beefcake. But outside of that, yeah, Daario has like no relevance in terms of the story. I am sure very few will miss him.

On another note, I do not understand why they haven't just killed Jorah already. He too is pointless to the overall narrative, while just being a really boring time sink.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Someone needs to shut that **** down, no exceptions.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

What needs to be shut down Roose?

 

[Roose Bolton]

Meereen, and greater Essos

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The Meereenese knot returns.

 

[Roose Bolton]

I'm still not even totally sure why Barristan's death was necessary in hindsight.

 

[Victarion]

Interesting dragon spoilers.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I'm still not even totally sure why Barristan's death was necessary in hindsight.

Because unlike the other two, he wasn't trying to sleep with the Dragon Queen.

 

[Victarion]

I think that they were trying to hit that beat where the hero's mentor dies. I would have preferred if Barristan stuck out his service to Dany, but it is what it is.

How do you all think Martin will handle elements like the next Sword of the Morning? Will these characters just show-up with a following, or will we see a hero's journey of these minor characters to earn their title?

 

[Roose Bolton]

He was shown as her mentor for what? 3 episodes?

It's bad writing.

 

[BestGirl]

Probably done for budget reasons.

Yay 10,000 posts!

 

[Iceman]

Barristan seemed like a bit of a waste. Felt like he was being built up for something more significant, at least a more significant end.
