TheKingoftheSevenKingdoms Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Thank god Ser Arthur Dayne was mentioned. He's an awesome enigmatic character in the books that we don't know about. I wish they had spent more time with him thought. Jaime has quite a history with this guy. He respect and admires the Sword of Morning. It could have gone like. "Led the attack on the Kingswood. Defeated the Smiling Knight in single combat." Joffrey. "I know. I was there. Ser Arthur was the one who knighted me." Jaime. Joffrey insults Ser Arthur, and Jaime almost bitchslaps him.

King Behind The Wall Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Tower Of Joy exposition is coming! Whatever happened there is pivotal to the end result so it is inevitable to show it on screen somehow. It would be interesting to see how they show it. We didn't have the dream in season 1 and they are not doing flashbacks. Any ideas on how they are going to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovis alba Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I already said so in the promo thread of the next episodes: My bets are on a certain person that is quiet ahead in his own story and might serve as a tool to bring in some of the historical stuff, that was skipped so far in the Tv show, but will most likely be of big importance.

Duke O' Nooobs Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I tried to start a thread about this yesterday but it didn't go through I guess....Did anyone pause the tv and try to read the book? I did :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaquentis Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I love all these little nods to the book readers in the show. Respect :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairion Lannister Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Liked that they gave him a mention, showing they've not completely forgotten about House Dayne since it could potentially be important in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khal Shaggydog Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Joffrey is so freaking hopped up all the time I'm surprised he ever learned how to read. Seriously, the kid looks like he is on speed in every scene now, all jittery and jumpy. Definitely need some Tyrion slapping pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Behind The Wall Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Tower Of Joy will be mentioned on the show very soon one can hope. There is no point in mentioning Arthur Dayne now and showing TOJ sequence two seasons later. Non-readers are not going to remember that long.

HexMachina Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I was more impressed with Dunk the Lunk namedrop :D Although it irked me that they had his entry after Arthur Daynes, since he should have been before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Oromus Locke Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 All this, Oberyn's hint that Rhaegar left Elia for "another woman which caused a war" and Daario2.0 giving Dany a dusk rose.. Hmmmm.. Definitely a lot - and I mean a lot - of backstory/hint-dropping in the first episode of a new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be surprised if we don't get Barristan's "Rhaegar loved his lady Lyanna" line this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMartell Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I've heard people say Daario is Rhaegar. If Daario was Rhaegar, wouldn't Barristan recognise him? Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer of Lies Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Not to mention the page to the left of Dayne's page was "Gerold Hightower" I noticed that too... It's Hightower's last page, and tells of his death at the hands of Ned and a "small force." So close! No direct mention of ToJ though. Also caught specific mention of 'Dawn' on Dayne's page, which is a potentially positive sign for the Dawn=LB theory. But, of course, all of these white book Easter eggs (Arthur, Dawn, Aerys sending Hightower to search for Rhaegar in Dorne) all need a little more follow up in the script to solidify them as important elements of the show plot.

JonCon's Red Beard Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Tower Of Joy exposition is coming!That's exactly what I thought. Did anyone pause the tv and try to read the book? I did :)There are screencaps in another thread. It basically says he was son of some "Beric Dayne", a second son, he owned Dawn and mostly of his awesome stuff he did.

King Behind The Wall Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I already said so in the promo thread of the next episodes: My bets are on a certain person that is quiet ahead in his own story and might serve as a tool to bring in some of the historical stuff, that was skipped so far in the Tv show, but will most likely be of big importance. That's the tricky part. There are no weirwoods near ToJ as far as we know (unless i missed something). So is there a chance that the Reeds will tell him anything about this? Furthermore, will they go all the way during the ToJ exposition or will they show only the stuff readers already know, i.e. equivalent to Ned's dream?

Inv1ctus Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 So why didn't they show the dream in the season 1? It was the perfect timing and all. Did they at first decide not to include it at all and have now realised it was a mistake and will somehow try to incorporate it in the story? Or it won't happen at all. Unless Howland is gonna explain it in the 7th season, lol. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dream is the primary reason for the prevalent J = R + L theory among readers. So if J = R + L is expected to be a shocking twist on the show later on, ToJ sequence will have be far more subtle, done differently or skipped completely. In the current situation when J = R + L eventually be revealed, non-readers will be far more surprised/shocked than readers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
