Arkash Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I don't think Bran needs to meet them. In fact I am glad they aren't on the show.I agree with you, I dont think they are really needed for the show, glad they are cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7V3N Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 They may be included. They could be the ones to unbury Bran, Osha, and Rickon from the Winterfell crypts. Jojen could say the Three-Eyed-Crow led him to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Greenbark Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I imagine that they will hide in the crypts and when they emerge to the sacked Winterfell Jojen/Meera will appear- then events will unfold largely as they did in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Greguh Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'm about 99% sure that one or both of the Reeds will appear in Season 3, and that they were just cut from S2 to prevent unnecessary mid-season clutter to an already-packed character sheet. I wouldn't be too surprised if they're compressed down to just Meera (particularly since Bran seems to be having some Jojen-esque characteristics, and let's face it, child actors are difficult for a production, particularly one that will need to involve a lot of location shoots). I'd imagine that after escaping Winterfell, early S3 will involve the ragtag band of misfits settling down somewhere they deem as safe, and they will meet whatever Reeds exist for the show there.Without someone, they either have to 1) not split up Bran and Rickon, or 2) Have Hodor/Bran and Rickon split up with only Osha to guide one but not both of them, which won't happen.

Kaitscralt Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'm guessing they will split up Bran and Rickon, just to get one child actor out of the series. They've been damn lucky to have so many talented young boys and girls make this series spectacular, and they should quit while they're ahead. Send him away.*this is not a jab at Rickon's actor in particular (name eludes me), just the risk that comes with child actors in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarkBlack21 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Why is this question still asked. GRMM answered a fan's question at the book signing. He said the Reeds have been delayed and they will be in the TV SERIES. This is from the horse's mouth. Just like everyone thought ramsay was cut. Also we will have EDMURE TULLY. No confirmation on the Blackfish, but I have a feeling we will get the Blackfish also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ned execution last season was considered amazing tv (killing off a main character). "Killing off" 2 kids would be amazing and create quite an uproar, then to have them emerge from the crypts as a last scene of this season would be amazing. This would then create even more tesion with the RW next season - was it real, or are they really dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Adam Dayne Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I can't imagine the books without the Reeds, and I would love to see them on the show, but they can only not include them up to a point, say, the Wall. If they are not written into the show then basically they will be diverging in epic proportions from the book. Do Bran and Rickon split up then? Who goes with Bran on his journeys? Personally, I think that those who have never read the books will obviously not know the difference, it will just seem logical to them. One of the problems with the show (which I think is excellent) is that we cannot get inside the characters heads. In the books, Rhaegar casts a huge shadow even though he has been dead for years. In the tv show, how often is he even mentioned? Same goes for Arthur Dayne and others who were fighting during the Rebellion. No Blackfish or Edmure so far, but has the show really suffered because of their absence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone made some stills from it at one point and it was unmistakeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman2711 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 They will come in season 3 It is knownAnd i really like them we will have alot of wildlings to deal with next season so osha is not necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zod Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I hope they will introduce a new character in the series that can replace both Jojen and Meera Reed, with Osha filling in the rest of the roles.This way, it will be more efficient and easier for most people, and far more believable as well in my opinion.

madman2711 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Can i ask why invent something when you can get it already writtenI understand that some dont like Jojen but i really enjoy the friedship of them and Bran in the books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Snow Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 ^ If it makes for a better character why not do it. It seems like most people agree they weren't great characters, even if they liked them. So if you could make a conglomeration but one that is sort of more interesting and makes more sense in the context of the story why not do it. The essentials can be the same but the flavor different.

dansnow Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I disagree with the not great characters point so that's just a matter of personal opinion, Meera brings one of the stronger female roles in the books and it's cool to play with the gender reversal concept, something you don't see a lot of in ASOIAF, that the Reeds could bring.

White Harbors Wrath Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 it's cool to play with the gender reversal concept, something you don't see a lot of in ASOIAFHas there ever been a book series with stronger female roles than ASOIAF? Not sure where we're not seeing gender reversal...GRRM has about as many powerful females packed in as he believably can before we would be in Wonder Woman Amazon territory.

Hear Us Roar Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 As i have said in other threads they are not needed and am glad they were cut as with the whole doubling back to Winterfell. They should just leave and head north. Bran can have the dreams and Osha can interpret and speak in riddles. I did not care for the Reeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
