HouseHarrison Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 It was just a namedrop, no way will it switch to the Stannis plot. It was also a sound argument on Davos' part, because the Company is the only Free Company out there that could realistically single-handily win the crown for you.

The Kinkslayer Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yeah, pretty much name drooping. A more interesting refusal from Stannis would have been: 'So now we are hiring a company founded by usurpers' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilz Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Ah, Tyrion versus a duck - great scene. I think Davos will end up borrowing some money from the Iron Bank in Stannis' name. Then, later on when they are showing ADWD, the banker searching for Stannis has more meaning to the unsullied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Drunkard Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 " ...the wind that blows exiles across the narrow sea seldom blows them back. That boy Viserys Targaryen spoke of return as well. He slipped through my fingers at Dragonstone, only to spend his life wheedling after sellswords. 'The Beggar King,' they called him in the Free Cities. Well, I do not beg, nor will I flee again. I am Robert's heir, the rightful king of Westeros. My place is with my men. Yours is in Braavos." Would've been the best refusal, if they cut it down a bit.

PhoenixFlame Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 ADWD happens concurrently with AFFC. Aegon's coming up quick and hopefully he'll feel like less of an ass-pull than in the books. Plus, Stannis' "did you just suggest I invite a stripper over?" face was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Drunkard Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 But he's not talking to Justin Massey. Next you'll be telling me he isn't in the North. He is talking about the prospect of travelling to Essos to buy sellswords, which is the closest equivalent to this conversation with Davos. It essentially covers the same points, with Davos and Justin both suggesting that Stannis leave Westeros for the time being, travel east, and try to gather the support of sellswords, something Book Stannis refuses because his place is with his men, and he has no intention to go down the same road as Viserys. It'd be easy to translate, and make more sense than this random objection to mercenaries, which he's already used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylin Stark Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I think it's cool that they at least name dropped the Golden Company. We know they are major players in the future.And no way Stannis can hire them. I doubt he'll even try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no way Stannis can hire them. I doubt he'll even try.Davos wrote the Iron Bank, right? He asks for money for Stannis, which may explain later why Tycho Nestoris turns up at the Wall looking for Stannis. (they may even leave out the bit where Cersei refuses to pay back the debts, and Nestoris goes straight to Stan). Obciously, the Golden company won't be available by that time, but at least now the show-only folk know there is a sellsword company by that name, so they won't appear out of the blue.

I don't think the IB should change until Tywin is gone and Cersei fucks things up, its makes more sense. Cersei does not really need much time to fuck things up. Just a quick scene telling Tycho "no we need a navy" and then off to the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Macho would have none of it and goes to the wall to bend the knee to Mannis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
