Thanks a lot !

Maybe you can announce it here too :

There was quite a number of people waiting there last night ^^

Thank you ! <3

It was already pointed out, I know, but I never really cared until now :

I just wanted to go find some quick information about Belwas' duel in ASOS (I couldn't remember if it was against a Yunkai or Mereenese champion), and... it's just impossible :

Mother of God...

Is there an official plan to cut down those articles ?

I don't see what you mean at all - I've already established she doesn't look anything like her, Asha is never described as exceedingly pretty, and her character is wholly different as well: when Asha says something mean, it's meant to be mean, Jeyne is simply talking back to Robb to get in his pants. Whereas Asha is more the 'direct attack' type, if you get my drift. Just think back on her memories of the sailor who only knew ten words, one of them being 'fuck'.

Well, I've never said that Talisa has something to do with Asha. They're completely different, we agree on this.

But just try to imagine Oona Chaplin (and not the character Talisa she's playing right now) as Asha. And tell me if you don't find her more convincing that Jemma Whelan.

Most important part of the episode for me: Dragonglass ! Great moment ! Otherwise, it was a pure episode of transition.

Grenn and Sam finding the dragonglass, instead of Jon, was, indeed, a smart move.

(sad, we cannot say the same for all of them in season 2)

So when you say someone looks like someone else, you're not talking about their appearance... okay then. I think our ideas on who or what Asha is differ extremely. The current actress does a great job portraying her IMO, smugness, authority and threatening confidence all around. Not the pretty sultry out-of-place looking outlandish girl who is nevertheless a daughter of Balon Greyjoy Oona would have made if cast for Asha.

I don't know how to say it. She may not look like Asha, but she IS Asha, for me. You still don't see what I mean ?

And she certainly looks more like Asha, physically, than Yara does, anyway. But it's not the point (old troll).

She's lean, tall, charismatic. And I don't find her face that pretty (at least not more than book!Asha), so... but still, it's not my point ² (sorry...).

Oups, sorry, post erased. It was a mistake.

I think of her more as 'handsome' than 'pretty' if you get my drift: the way she's described Asha is more about charisma and the way she carries herself rather than 'blindingly pretty girl with big brown eyes-looks' like Jeyne is. I never think of her as ugly but not stunningly beautiful either and I think that's the way she's described. A girl like Jeyne would be a pushover and be turned into a salt wife if she was on the Iron Islands, not to mention looking terribly out of place.

Probably. Asha is neither dark-skinned nor very pretty. She doesn't even have long hair.

I don't care at all how she looks like. When I say she looks like Asha, I'm not talking about her skin or her prettiness. It's more than that.

They had the perfect actress for Asha... and they cast her for another role.

Why do I always see Asha when I look at Oona Chaplin ?

And am I the only one ?

You won't get any argument from me. Bran's journey is interesting enough. But once he gets there he gonna turn into a tree, wow what a jam packed adventure that will be!

He became just the most powerful man in the world. A god. Capable of interacting with every PoV in Westeros.

But yeah, it will be really boring, sure...

-_-

On the other hand, for the TV show, this use of Talisa/Jeyne, if it is where they are going, is interesting.

I think she's just got caught in the middle of battles and used a fake identity to hide the fact that she's a daughter of a sworn bannerman of Tywin, so that Robb could not take her as a hostage.

There was an interview with Brian Cogman, the writer for this ep, where he said they didn't think the show's older Arya would be foolish enough to yell out "Winterfell!" and you couldn't have Hot Pie yelling "Hot Pie!" by himself.

But she was foolish enough to tell Gendry the truth at a point when she didn't really know him nor trust him yet...

And where are the bannermen? Why is it that we never see the men that actually fight for Stannis? Maybe it's my fickle self... but maybe I'm right. We'll see.

Give them extra millions and they will give you an answer.

I was about to cry at the scene with Theon's letter.

It brought back all his arc from ADWD and...

Great episode.
