DornishHighlander Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 A sequel to last years prediction topic, by in large everyone did very well in their guesses. So it's round 2, As most believe the RW to be season 3 and Purple wedding be 4.Obvious ones first.Dany- Dracarys in Astapoor.Jon- Skirmish and fleeing to the wall to warn of Mances attack or Climbing the Wall with the raiders.Robb & Cat- RW. Arya- "The Axe"Tyrion- Not sure as bulk of his stuff is part 2 of ASOS.Sansa- Maybe her wedding but like Tyrion her stuff is more part 2.Jamie & Brienne- meet Vargo/Companions & "sapphires".Bran, Davos, Stannis and Mels all deepened on how Jons story is paced if it ends at the tower in the gift then-- Bran- As Summer see Jon. Osha splits with Rickon, Reeds, Hodor and Bran follow Jon. (I think Nightfort is season 4). Not sure what to do if Jon ends just climbing the Wall. Maybe Ramsay sends a hunting party for them and Liddell rescues them as he did say that others would be looking for Bran.If Jon only climbs the Wall at end of Season 3. Dragonstone is a quagmire, they can't have the letter before Jon reaches Wall so they can't sail North.Tyrells, Cersei and Joffrey is all about pacing of KL story.What you guys think?

aceski Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I have a feeling that RW is going to be the last episode, I feel like the producers are going to air it last just so they hook the viewers in even more at the last second, Look at the first season for example, the part that has you at the edge of your seat (dragons), Then in season 2 (whitewalkers), HBO has a habbit of doing this with all their series, Well we will just have to wait and see.Hope that made sense, its 3am and im tired and off to bed :stillsick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aderyn Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'm pretty sure season 3 will end in RW. There's no point in putting it earlier in the third season (just too early) and if it was in the middle of a season it would ruin the shocking effect. That scene is screaming for a cliffhanger. I think it will be either the last or the second last episode. I hope they'll be devoting one episode entirely to the RW, just like they did with Blackwater. Otherwise it won't work properly I think.Also, I'm sure the black brothers' rebellion at Craster's keep will take place in the end of season 3, in either one of the last two episodes.

GoodGuyA Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 PW always made more sense to me. Not only does it set-up a real threat on everyone's favorite character, but it eliminates yet another cast member from the payroll for the season. Remember that these guys are contracted and thus must be paid in advance for their work. Dicing off three major characters will serve as a huge advantage to not only HBO, but the script as well. It will allow Season 4 to really slow everything down and perhaps experiment a bit with the format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkash Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'm ready to bet RW is for episode 8.PW would be for episode 10.GW (Sansa - Tyrion): episode 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWarrior Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I think the RW will be the 9th episode, you have to have a little of the aftermath in espisode 10 if they stay true to the Cat story and Arya's vision while warging in the wolf. Then Dondarrian can do his bit with Cat in the last episode and everyone will be left hanging. I see the RW being what Blackwater was as far as espisode layout in Season 2.The PW will be Season 4 if you ask me. It would be too much for both to be in one season, and it comes at the end of Book 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princethomas Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I think the PW (where did this term come from anyway) will and should be the finale to season 3.First of all. I see where people say that the Red Wedding will be a shock at the end. No. If its at the end, it won't shock anyone. They need to downplay this thing. The Red Wedding should be in episode 7 or 8. Remember, going in, its not a big deal. Big whoop. Edmure has to marry some woman at the bridge. Leading up to it, the discussion is all about what they are going to do after the wedding. Fight their way back up North. Take back the north from the Greyjoys. They need to play that up. So that the viewer thinks that there are 2 or 3 post wedding episodes and that Robb is about to get into some big awesome stuff.Thats how you shock them. Thats how it shocked me. I didn't expect anything bad to happen at the wedding. I was worried about how it would go down because I know Frey is a jerk, but I didn't see that coming. If it had been at the end of the book or at the end of a season of television I would definitely expect it.Now. If you put the PW at the end of the season. I think that sets up more perfectly for a season ender. I don't think anyone expects Joffrey to die yet. That really came out of nowhere. The focus will be on Sansa. Can Sansa escape? Will Joffrey find some way to mess it up for her. Scenes with Joffrey saying he'll still sleep with Sansa should help with that.I could see the final scene of season 3 being Joffrey laying dead and Tyrion being arrested and Cersei saying Where's Sansa? Cut to black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysun Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Personally I think ending it on Arya's axe would be fantastic. However I dont think HBO are willing to end it on such a downer of viewers thinking 3 Stark's just bit the bullet.I really hope Joffrey's wedding is in Season 4 so that the pacing wont suffer. Joffrey is supposed to revel in 'his' victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomiller Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'm pretty sure season 3 will end in RW.IMO that's more of a 9th episode thing like Ned's execution or Stanis's defeat at Blackwater. Last scene of episode is Joffrey choking to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khal-a-bunga Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Most signs are pointing to the Red Wedding occurring on the 8th episode of season three. We know the name of the episode prior to episode eight ("Autumn Storms"), and I re-call that many of the story lines featured storms immediately before the R.W. Also, David & Dan have stated several times that they've wanted to see this series through at least to the R.W., and we also know they'll be directing an episode this year. Since the director for the last two seasons has already been announced, I think it's safe to say that they'll be switching things up from the usual 'episode nine climax' structure of the first two seasons. So that leaves episode eight, which will likely end on the Red Wedding. I don't particularly like the idea of having the Purple Wedding in season three, but I can easily see that event ending the season. That just leaves the other eight episodes of season three. I'd say the death of the Old Bear is a sure thing; as is Dany's triumph in Astapor. ...or was it Yunkai? Regardless, that leaves six episodes without a 'definite' ending.I think an episode ending with Bran and Samwell meeting seems likely, but beyond those mentioned above, I can see a lot of different options for where each episode will end. It'll really depend on how each individual story line is plotted out over the course of these next two seasons, as I'd imagine they're taking a 'two season' approach to adapting A Storm of Swords (for the most part, anyway).

Pellaeon Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 RW will be the final, the PW will be in season 4, they cut ASoS in half and 10 episodes only for the afterwards of the PW doesn't sound right, they have 20 episodes, they should use them as good as possible. If both weddings happend in season 3 they must bring the BwB, the travel of Jaime and Brienne and the Tyrion Sansa wedding (they prepare so carefull in season 2) all in 6 episodes, so they have enough time for the RW and enough meantime until the PWEDIT: As far as I know they didn't cast Oberyn yet, and he is essential for the PW and his afterwards, so they might start season 4 with his arrival in KL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franz95 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I think the RW will be in episode 9, "Baelor" and "Blackwater" both were great episodes. Episode 10 could focus on the reaction in KL, Jaime's hand (it happened before the wedding I think, but it's a good way to end the season) and the last scene might be Beric's kiss (after dragons and white walkers a zombie scene would make sense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davos' fingertip Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 i agree the last scene should be Beric's kiss that brings Catelyn back to life. If Robb's death is the end, the viewers might get a bit to sad. The last two seasons were already sad enough, with Ned and Roberts death in Season 1, Lannisters beating Stannis in Season 2, and now Robb's death in Season 3. The end can't be Joffrey's death cause they need that for Season 4, but to bring hope to the viewers they could show Catelyn being revived.

akajea Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'm hoping for RW 8, PW 10. Joffrey's humiliating death will make things easier for the poor viewers. Ending the season with the RW would be too dark, end it with the RW and Arya "dying" (the book didn't portray it as a cliffhanger really) and they might lose half the viewership.Tyrion's arc in season 4 starts with him rotting in the dungeon, finishes with his escape and kinslaying.It's true though that they haven't yet cast Oberyn... well, we'll see.

How about Tyrion starts in the dungeon, and finishes meeting Illyrio and deciding to go see Dany? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akajea Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Could work, but I doubt itI think it would be fine. Tyrion is not the main character, he is a main character. Season 2 was an anomaly. And ASoS is more sprawling than ACoK.I would be fine with Tyrion playing a diminished role allowing more screentime for Jon/Stannis, Arya/Hound/BWB/Braavos, Jaime/Brienne, Sansa/Littlefinger, Bran, Dany. Tyrion's role can pick up again in season 5 when he meets Jorah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show isn't about the books it's about money and qoutes, it's a shame, but we can't change it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redriver Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I think RW in ep 9 of season 3,mixing it up with the Arya/Hound scenes.PW around ep 4,season 4.Finish with Tyrion/Tywin and the crossbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
