Where is Wildling Royal Family?


Black Dragons

Recommended Posts

All cut, along with many more characters.



I really don't think any of these other characters will be postponed until further seasons like Ramsey was apart from Euron or maybe Victarion to flesh out the Ironborn more. The whole Ironborn story could be cut aswell though since there is no sign of the Kingsmoot and Asha will be captured if they are sticking to the book. LS is most certainly cut, her reveal chance has come and gone, it wouldn't add nearly as much shock to the story now. The absence of Young Griff is a very puzzling one, same with Arianne. I'm sure its a big part of the next book but one that can be cut out without drastically affecting the end point.



On the plus side we will get a lot more Mace this season. Ciaran Hinds has been a criminally underused actor but that could be because of schedule conflicts.



Oh and we get a Greyworm/Messandei romance instead!!! How awesome is that going to be.

I so tick off

Dalla Mance's wife (Queen)

Val The Princess

The Wildling Prince (Aemon Steelsong)

I hate this show sometime

Thought in the books Mance was only 'King' in name , and I thought the FreeFolk never considered Val 'royalty' even when the Westerosi did.

Doesn't square with the Wilding philosophy to have an aristocracy.

Before GRRM finally made the decision to move forward with HBO, he didn't want sell the rights to adapt the series because he said his series was highly complicated.



The battles, the amount of characters, places, settings, etc.



I can understand D&D reasoning to try chop some of the side story. They are on a budget and it's not their job to adapt the books exactly. Some of the books stuff wouldn't translate well to the series. There are shortcuts they can take to make the story cohesive and simpler for the non readers.



We all miss LSH, Manderly, Greyjoys, but let's give D&D and GRRM time to see how it all plays out.

IMDB shows Val as a rumored cast member.

Played by Birgitte Hjort Sørensen.

Katrina is Val?!?!

That's fantastic!

She's a great actress, and breath taking.

She's not playing Val.

"So who is she playing in Game of Thrones? The actress’s specific role is unknown at the moment. Our sources confirm that that was her in the trailer, but that she is not playing Val, the wildling ‘princess’ featured in the last few ASOIAF novels"

that is the point that the show (GOT) such have point out Stannis does not know about culture of Freefolks King Beyond The Wall is title it does not go with the family. Stannis thinks that Val is princess and look what they did to Dorne by cutting out Arianne Martell the next heir who is female. what the hell?
