silentwanderer Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Personally, i think there need to be 2 sellsword companies, as one of them really needs to betray dany for gold, pick up tyrion outside the gates of mereen, turn again and help out in the battle. This company doesn't neccesarily have to be the one introduced next episode though. Daario could be leading the second sons (after killing Mero), and introduce the storm crows later on with Plumm leading them.There has to be at least two companies or Frog Martell's, Tyrion Lannister's and Connington's plots - and, by extension, "Griff Jr." plot -won't make sense.Victarion Greyjoy could always lead a Company instead of just a fleet, but that's about as different as the show could make them.There's no way the Second sons is the only company on this show, in my opinion.

Lord Elrosir Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Why are there almost no threads open tonight for this episode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartseverus Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Anyone have any idea why the other thread got locked? Length, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebevan91 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 So this is basically our pre-episode discussion thread now, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartseverus Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 So this is basically our pre-episode discussion thread now, right?Well, I vote yes, since we basically have no other options. Weird situation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filleted Man Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Since the other thread got locked, I'll post this here:I posted that in the other thread but for some reason my post was deleted when it closed. No idea why.Personally though, I wonder how much time the wedding will get in the episode overall, it seems like at least 20 minutes or so, perhaps more.We have:PreparationsActual wedding at septwhatever that conversation with cersei isconversation of Tyrion with various characters as he gets drunkConfrontation with JoffreyBeddingDoesn't seem like to much time for the other storylines.

iheartseverus Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Just curious, has anybody submitted thread requests for this episode, (other than a Major Spoilers thread which I and several others submitted) and they just haven't yet been approved? I'm guessing that's the case, and further guessing that its just that Ran is busy or whatever, and that threads will begin showing up later tonight and overnight. Can't imagine that no one's submitted a Good Nitpick or a Bad Nitpick or any of the other usuals. I don't remember ever seeing this 'no threads' situation before. A bit strange...

go joff go Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I'm curious about the amt of time each storyline gets too since the previws hint at what seem like big and multiple and long scenes for each character. Also the length of the wedding storyline in this episode will probably give a hint to how much RW is in eps 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWarrior Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I think Brown Ben Plumm will be introduced in Tyrion's arc....when the events towards the end of Book 5 start playing out. A few years away yet. No real need to introduce him now.And I don't see Daario deceiving Dany. I think he will be true blue as he is in the books. Maybe because I am a romantic and he has such wonderful blue eyes......hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Duncan of Flea Bottom Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 No Ben Plumm? ah, comon! and Daario was supposed to be in the Storm Crows, why they change so much the stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic 8 Ball Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 For what it's worth, the guy playing Prendahl looked exactly like my mental representation of Brown Ben Plum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are really not coming to terms with how major the changes are going to get by the second half of S4.Aeron I agree with his only contribution is the Kingmoot and you could just have that be Ironborn tradition.but Quentyn leads to Dorne rethinking its alliance with Dany. that's kind of a major plot point..............and theyre going to need some action for Mereen.

Ororo727 Jon Snow Fangirl Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Nobody. Yet. Likely to be introduced next season, as Jarl said.Clarke Peters will play him, it is known. *sagenod*He would make an excellent BBP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There doesn't have to be a second company, just someone to get a majority of the sellswords to jump ship (This could be BBP or a BBP replacement). I don't think they can dispense with the Golden Company, for the sake of Aegon/JonCon's invasion, so I think two sellsword companies total will max out the viewers' appetite for complexity.

I think they'll keep it to one sellsword company initially, just to avoid confusing viewers, and then change the storyline up a little to have some or all of them turn their cloaks, then come back. It's simpler that way, because I don't think they can avoid having the Golden Company in the show, they're too relevant to the Aegon storyline. Honestly, I usually object to a lot of the show changes, but I would be ok with only the second sons. Most of the Mereen storyline was bloated with unnecessary extra characters, it could use a little paring down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeping Sore Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Aeron I agree with his only contribution is the Kingmoot and you could just have that be Ironborn tradition.but Quentyn leads to Dorne rethinking its alliance with Dany. that's kind of a major plot point..............and theyre going to need some action for Mereen.Kingsmoot will be paired down to Euron, Victarion & "Yara".I really think Quent could just exist offscreen at Yronwood. Dorne has original Arienne match with Viserys. After Viserys dies, Varys contacts Doran in secret about "Young Griff", but Doran is skeptical and bides his time. Somebody else releases Dany's dragons. POV eliminated. All the same stuff happens with Oberyn, Arienne, & Sandsnakes. Where's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dragon has three heads Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 My bet is the Titan's Bastard is leader of the Second Sons, and Daario is his second-in-command. Daario kills him assumes the command.On the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
