Ser Fingerbones Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Everybody's favourite Onion Lord is sure to return in season 5 though what he will be getting up to is a matter of speculation. There's already been a slight change from the books, in that we saw Davos with Stannis when he met Jon Snow at the Battle of Castle Black. Originally he stayed in Eastwatch before moving off to White Harbour. We know the climax of that story is that Davos is sent off to Skagos to find Rickon for the Manderlys. Only in show canon Rickon isn't on Skagos, but at Last Hearth, home of the Umbers. It seems likely that Davos's arc in season 5 will follow him treating with the Umbers (possibly some Frey pie fun), maybe a false cliffhanger regarding his death and then being told by Greatjon (who didn't attend the Red Wedding in the show) about Rickon, following a rousing speech regarding the North and how it remembers, and promising to pledge his allegiance to Stannis the Mannis. Though the point of the Manderlys telling Davos about this is for his sailing abilities, but I'm sure D&D will be able to work around this. Alternatively, they'll scrap that storyline and have more Davos and Stannis banter on the march to Winterfell, or leaving him at the Wall for Davos/Jon and Davos/Mel, two combinations which would be rather fun to watch.Any other ideas?

Wyman Manderly's Meat Pies Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 They said they'll try for Last Hearth, nothing ever confirmed they made it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADanceWithCats Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 As I've written in the Predictions thread, I think he'll stay at the Wall with Jon and then leave with Sam. Sometime during the season (from Jon/Sam/a random guy on the street), he'll learn about Rickon and go after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanx5 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 There are a number of options what Davos may do this season 1, He stays with Stannis all the way till they capture Theon. Where Theon tells them that Rickon is still alive and he sends Davos to find Rickon2. He stays with Stannis when he leaves for WF. Davos goes with Mance to infiltrate WF, but are captured, but a Northern Lord helps him escape and tells him about where Rickon is and tells him he can count on his loyalty if he should find the boy3. Goes with Sam, and Salladoor Saan and at the Docks hears that someone saw a boy with a direwolf, and goes to find him4. Goes to Last Hearth, and plays out the same way as in the books except with the Umbers I dont think we will get WH at all in the show, as there are already to many locations so D&D will try their best to try by making it happen a little differently, I think the most likely is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aFeastForDragons Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Another option is he could help Jon with sailing to Hardhome. Unlikely but it depends how soon that happens next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikozmartinoz83 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Davos HAS to go to white harbour, otherwise we might not see FREY PIE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand to King Davos Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I loved Davos's White Harbor chapters, so I will be highly disappointed if those chapters aren't included. Then again, so long as some version of them is present I will be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midi Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Maybe The Manderlys will be replaced by the Umbers, since they have already been established in the show. I think we will see the Frey pies and bad a$$ northern kids in one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will see the Frey pies and bad a$$ northern kids in one way or another. Not sure how I feel about that, to me ADWD basically revealed that the Manderlys are master trolls. And Wyman's quote "The north remembers, Lord Davos. The north remembers, and the mummer’s farce is almost done. My son is home." sounded so much more badass because he (a guy that everyone thought was fat, lazy and soft in the head) is the one who said it. Also how are they gonna explain the ships and silver via Umbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I still have hope for the Frey Pies... they have to give us at least something. Though I guarantee you they'll keep all of Danny's 5 hour long speeches about her being blood of fire breathing lizards. :bang: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antler's Fury Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Why were the Manderlys so prominently included in the season 3 dvd extra material if they weren't even going to have one member with a single line? All of the other houses in that clip had at least one member of the house prominently featured with at least one line at some point in the series. There are a number of options what Davos may do this season 1, He stays with Stannis all the way till they capture Theon. Where Theon tells them that Rickon is still alive and he sends Davos to find Rickon This is a possibility I did not consider. However, Theon doesn't know that Rickon is on Skagos. How will Stannis find that out? I figured he might find Wex instead of Manderly finding him, but Wex is not in the TV show. 2. He stays with Stannis when he leaves for WF. Davos goes with Mance to infiltrate WF, but are captured, but a Northern Lord helps him escape and tells him about where Rickon is and tells him he can count on his loyalty if he should find the boy How would this lord know that Rickon is on Skagos? 3. Goes with Sam, and Salladoor Saan and at the Docks hears that someone saw a boy with a direwolf, and goes to find him How would the Braavosi know that Rickon was on Skagos? Going from the North to Skagos doesn't involve passing through there. 4. Goes to Last Hearth, and plays out the same way as in the books except with the Umbers Without Wex how would the Umbers know Rickon is on Skagos?

Chilli Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Wex could show up somewhere around Winterfell, when Davos and Stannis are going there to fight the Boltons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADanceWithCats Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yeah, the Manderlys aren't needed. A Wex equivalent is. That can be anyone between Castle Black and Skagos who saw a boy with a direwolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aFeastForDragons Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I kind of hope Davos stays with Stannis. I really missed their banter in ADWD even if Davos got some of the most exciting chapters in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tommen Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 On the show, RIckon and Osha were sent to the Last Hearth so presumably the Umbers would be aware if they were still there or had moved on to somewhere like Skagos. If Davos does link up with his book storyline to search for Rickon, someone affiliated with the Umbers would be the most likely individual to give him the necessary information. You probably have Umbers at Winterfell so it stands to reason that Davos finds his way there at some point (with Stannis or perhaps subbing in for Mance on the undercover mission there) and that's where he gets the info he needs to go on the Rickon mission. It's unlikely he gets that info at the Wall and this is probably the main reason why they have Davos staying with Stannis for now, instead of the whole White Harbor deal (which along with the Manderly's has been cut from the show). Whenever we see an indication of the Umbers, that's going to be the time where the Rickon mission is revealed. There's no other good reason why the show went out of their way to tell the audience that this is where Rickon and Osha were going back in S3.

Ser Fingerbones Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 One of the recently unveiled pictures from S5 show Jon Snow talking to Stannis with Davos standing vigilante nearby. This is most likely in episode one or two however so it doesn't reveal much about what Davos'll be getting up to. My bet at the moment is on Davos marching with Stannis. Otherwise, there'll be no characters in that arc for people to root for (until the Greyjoys come along) seeing as the show has painted Stannis as a boring, villainous character. Perhaps when Asha/Theon come along he'll be tempted to go find the youngest wolf, if that's happening at all.Anyway, I hope we get a Jon/Davos scene. That's an interaction I've always wanted to see in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
