That last one is Riverrun????&#55357;&#56885;&#55357;&#56885;&#55357;&#56885;&#55357;&#56885;

I love it!!!

Who is that in the 3rd and 4th photos?

Minor complaint. I really dont like the way Jon's hair is this season. It looks so much better hanging loose.

Really? I actually think he looks more mature with his hair the way it is now, as well as colder and more commanding. Exactly what I think he should look like if he's going to be leading a war.

 

[BestGirl]

Visually, his hair makes a nice contrast between pre- and post-resurrection Jon.

Frey boys.

Frey boys.

Oh thanks.

It's a severe look that fits him now, but it might also be there to make sure he has a radically different look from Ned; he's the new eldest Stark man, but he's still the "bastard" brother, and probably sees himself as the "enforcer" for his remaining sibling/s.

Pulling his hair back doesnt make him look any more mature to me. Cutting it short may have made him look more mature but harshly pulling it back like it is just looks bad on Kit.

 

[Ezio Auditore]

Oh thanks.

And the one in the 3rd picture is the guy who stabbed Talissa, Ned jr, and slashed Catelyn's throat.


I guess Nymeria will rip him apart (wishfull thinking)

 

[Iceman]

Yes hope so. I can't even remember. A whole series rewatch will have to open after this season is done.

 

[Reek]

The guy in the 3rd picture is Black Walder Rivers... he killed Catelyn... The 4th picture is Lothar Frey, who killed Talisa and unborn Ned. He was recast for this season.

The same person didn't kill Talisa and Cat.

 

[ComicChick]

so how long has it been since cersei's atonement walk? and which happened first, that or arya's blinding?

it's taking forever for her hair to grow back lol. or maybe i just have some friends whose hair grows back super fast. i dont really have any frame of time of how long arya trained, or anything really haha

 

[Fist of Khonshu]

Cersei's Walk and Arya's blindness both happened in the Season 5 finale. Not sure how many months ago that was in that world.

 

[Reek]

Each setting has a different time frame lol... the North/Wall starts off the next day after Jon was stabbed.

KL a couple weeks have passed. Same with Daenerys...

It's all silly, but that's what I gather from it all.

 

[ComicChick]

yeah that's what throws me off. The Wall stuff picks right up. In Braavos, it's obvious some time has passed due to arya's training, improvement etc. and each time she sees the play, they timeline they're re-enacting gets further along so enough time has passed between the actual events to have word of mouth reach them to create a play on it.

king's landing doesn't seem like it's been too long, but i dont know how long it took for Jaime to sail back from Dorne
baelish gets around all of westeros faster than anyone else it seems like lol

not too sure what the time frame is for the bolton storyline and greyjoys either lol

The Boltons/wall are going hand and hand time wise, I think...

The Greyjoys... not sure wtf is going on there cause Theon left Sansa... which is in the immediately after Jon's death timeline... but then he magically travels to the Iron Islands in an episode.

There's a lot of "just accept it" this season, which is probably why the only thing I care about anymore is the coming war for Winterfell. Reek is obviously my favorite book POV and they've ruined that beyond belief.

 

[Victarion]

Lol one of mine's dead and the other got turned into a drunk trucker.

 

[Fist of Khonshu]

In general, one season of the show equals one year.

see: http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline

The specific timetable of events within each year is anyone's guess.

 

[Reek]

In no way is that true lol. it hasn't been 6 years since Ned's death.

Not sure where you or (if it is in) that wiki got that from.

 

[Reek]

well... their 'years' are probably different from what we consider a year

 

[Roose Bolton]

Little Sam was a baby for what seemed like 4years

 

[Reek]

....still is a baby

 

[Fist of Khonshu]

Not sure where you or (if it is in) that wiki got that from.

It's in there, that's why I offered it up.

"In the book chronology, roughly two years pass between the beginning of A Game of Thrones and the end of the third novel, A Storm of Swords. Less than a full year actually passes in each novel. The child actors in the TV series, however, still age at a normal rate during production, so in order to keep consistent, the TV series generally follows the rule that one TV season equals one year in the storyline. This made them gain a full year by the end of Season 3, as the Red Wedding occurred only two years after Jon Arryn died.

etc etc

The combined result of all of this is two major principles:

• Both Season 1 and the first novel begin in 298 AL, but Robert's Rebellion occurred two years earlier in the TV continuity, from 280 to 281 AL, instead of 282 to 283 AL as in the novels.
• Time moves more slowly in the TV adaptation, roughly at the speed that one TV season equals one year of story-time, which was not always the case in the novels. Only about two years pass between the beginning of the first novel, and the point when Joffrey dies in the third novel (his marriage occurred on new year's day of the year 300 AL). The TV series, however, had to acknowledge pragmatic concerns, particularly the use of child actors who age at a normal rate."

There's all kinds of discrepancies listed in that wiki link. They didn't think this out very carefully beforehand, or as they went.
