WatcherInTheNight Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I think it has to do with Brienne. I remember watching the promo for season four where she is asked what the strangest thing she's had to do... "Biting off a man's ear" It sounds like a pretty grisly scene. No way. Her next scene after the biting in the books is her Lady Stoneheart reveal. That would mean all fake show filler of her plot line or doing the reveal mid season. I would think that is episode 9 material (all battle with a short 5 minute scene at the end with a Stoneheart reveal) or next season. Either way I think at least some of Brienne's story will be told in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Wolf Smith Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I think that Brienne leaving King's Landing will be her last scene in the episode1. A lot has to happen in the episode with Jaime/Cersei/Tyrion/Brienne and Pod before she gets sent away. We won't get any of her adventures until the next episode we see her2. 1 I agree that Brienne leaving will be at the end of the ep, 2 I do think we will see her thru at least couple major points of her journey, Tarly, Brave Co, and QI. but I think it will next season before we see LadySH. I wonder if the Thenns could be involved, like if they start eating children and babies. Or if D&D move up the sack of the Saltpans, they may try to tone down some of that violence. That why I was thinking Mole town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konradsmith Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I think the raid on Mole's Town will be in episode eight. There was a shot in the "weapons and training" video that showed Ygritte fighting with a spear that said episode 408 on the camera monitor. We also caught some glimpses of her fighting with a spear (and apparently killing innocent women, wow she's gone dark, huh!) in the Foreshadowing feature. Also that woman playing the Mole's Town madame's CV which credits her as being in Alex Graves directed episodes might imply further appearances. Or it might not but if it does that would mean episode eight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I think at least some of Brienne's story will be told in the middle. Actually the biting happens when the Bloody Mummers try to rape her, so they're just transposing her biting off someone's ear to a completely unrelated, made-up event (which will probably be a 'bastard version' of the fight at the Crossroads Inn). And I really hope they'll be dropping some Brienne background : we know more about Talisa or Yoren's past than Brienne's in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hound's She-wolf Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I definitely think we'll see the farmer and his daughter dead at some point. Might even be through Nymeria's eyes. Where the Hound says "maybe we should go back" and Arya says "No, they're dead already". I'm starting to lean toward something like this, the mountain finds out about Sandor being in the area, tracks him down and finds the farmer, then kills him, (could he be the one on the Mountain's sword), and then he rapes and kills the daughter. At this point, I think anything's possible, who knows, maybe Melisandre will start burning more people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konradsmith Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 We have no evidence to assume that the Mountain will show up before episode seven. I doubt we'll see him until then and I really doubt he'll run into that farmer and his daughter. Halfthor Bjornsson said he was in three episodes in a muscle magazine someone on wicnet had read. So I take it that means in ep. seven for his reintroduction/demonstration of his power, ep eight for the duel and ep. ten for Pycelle and Qyburn treating him. One would hope that if we get a scene of him being treated, that Ellaria comes in and taunts him about being poisoned. I hope we see her again after the end of episode eight.

I wonder what they'll do with Ellaria's character going forward. Does she sort of fade into the background like she does in AFFC, or will she perhaps take the role of Lady Nym and sit on the small council, considering she'll already be familiar with KL? Regardless, I think her interaction with Doran and Arianne when they present the skull of "Gregor" would be a great introduction to Dorne and it's main characters. I do hope they keep Indira Varma on for longer; she's been perfect as Ellaria in her few scenes thus far, and not to mention absolutely stunning (by far the best dressed at the wedding!). They're going to have to aim pretty high to cast Arianne! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Desmond Wine's Bane Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 In September (look it up on the wicnet tumblr timeline) a guy took pictures of GoT filming in Dubrovnik. We saw the clapper thing in his photos (you know that you snap and then say "action"?) and it had episode 7 written on it. Also Alik Sakharov was present. Also we've seen glimpses of this scene in trailers and the Foreshadowing feature. Gregor shirtless killing innocents and Cersei watching in her black mourning attire. This was when Lena Headey and Halfthor Bjornsson took their picture together to show their height difference. That picture is all over the internet. From the recently-released episode summaries we know that ep 7 "Mockingbird" is when Oberyn comes to Tyrion and says he'll be his chamption. So its fitting that its also when Bronn says he won't be his champion. What better way to illustrate that then have Bronn and Tyrion witness Gregor's beastliness? I was just looking back through to find that and....... Found the gifs of NCW holding a cup of coffee in the Sept at the PW!!!! I hadn't even heard about that screw up!

King Tommen Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 The actor playing Rorge confirmed that he would be back this season so he's probably the most likely candidate (along with Biter) to have his ear bitten off by Brienne. It tracks with the books but it would be stranger since Rorge and Brienne have never met each other on the show whereas he was one of the main Bloody Mummers trying to rape Brienne in the books so running into he and Biter again made more sense. The other possibility is that Arya and the Hound come across Rorge and Biter late in the season (Arya is the one connected to them on the show) and this might be where the Hound gets his wound. Hard to say. Just based on location where both groups are headed (the Vale) and both groups confirmed to get into a fairly violent confrontation around that time makes me think that Arya/Hound and Brienne/Pod very well might cross paths near the end of the season somehow.

Interesting, I just assumed Rorge/Biter were cut. I think it makes more sense to have him in Arya's arc, but I suppose we'll have to see how it plays out. I kinda like the idea that Arya and Brienne would cross paths, not knowing who one another are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Tommen Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 So I just checked and the actor who plays Rorge's CV says he's in S4 and the directors are "various" which usually means more than 1 episode but sometimes it's listed that way because they can't be bothered to put in the actual director. I also checked into the actor who plays Biter and on his Twitter feed, someone asks him if he's in S4 and he responded that he is so that's good to know. The guy has next to zero stuff about GoT on his Twitter feed but one of the only GoT-related things there is from back in the summer where he retweeted a GRRM quote saying that actors on the show who read the books to find out what happens to their character are sometimes shocked when the show has a completely different fate for them. The fact that he took the time to retweet that quote by itself probably means it applies to him I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyOne Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I think they have 'toned down' far too much. Martins world is a violent one. HBO is not the Disney channel. But it feels that way sometimes. And I don't really care-I wish they would stick to the plot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelisandreTargaryen Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 My friend brought up a good point that HBO has a history of seriously violent shows (i.e. OZ) so the chances of this being more than a rumour to get a lot of viewers is kind of high.BUT! Devil's advocate here, this book is incredibly violent so it's possible that people who aren't familiar with the material (a lot of the actors and crew) could just be reacting like a lot of us did upon first reading. The changes they've made, and the lost of a lot of the nuances is not helping at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
