AzorAhai42 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Do any of you guys think the LC election will be in this episode? Or do you think they'll save it for season 5, since season 5 is probably going to be lacking on exciting stuff and this episode has tons of exciting stuff already? Has anyone heard or seen anything that hints towards the possibility of the election being in this episode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widows_Blood Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 The actor who plays Sam said some stuff from the books won`t be in this season (regarding the wall storyline) but he was also referring to Coldhands being cut. It was kinda vague i`m not exactly sure what he was referring to but people have speculated that it could have something to do with the election or Stannis offering Winterfell. I think Lord Commander will happen, it`s just the perfect way to end Jon`s storyline, but I think Stannis offering Winterfell will be left for season 5.

King Tommen Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Slynt and Thorne have already referenced the LC election earlier this season and they probably wouldn't bother with including that if they weren't going to deal with it by the end of E10.

Zombies That Were Promised Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I can't see ASOS, however little left, still being adapted for Season 5. Jon has 10 ADWD chapters of almost nothing happening, but they still can't rush through it. They will need all of Season 5 to adapt his ADWD chapters.

Jinjonator Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 It seems like it'd made more sense for him to become LC at the end of this season, so his whole arc next season can be focused on him already in charge of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyTheBlindUglyLittleCat Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 For sure happening this season for the reasons stated above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sati Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I think the only two times we see Jon in finale is Ygritte's funeral and the chat with Stannis, so I'd say LC is next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dornishwoman's Husband Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 It would be a very big bullshit if Jon doesn't become LC at the end of his season 4 storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trillian Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I thought the same when Janos Slynt and Thorne mentioned the election. It wouldn't make much sense if it wasn't going to happen this season, too much time to forget about it. The big battle on ep9 and the election on ep10 are a great way to finish the Wall storyline for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big battle on ep9 and the election on ep10 are a great way to finish the Wall storyline for this season. I kinda look at it as the equivalent of the resurrection talk last season. I was sure we'll see one in finale, because of all that talk and it didn't happen. So I'm very skeptical to think that two characters talking in one scene is a hint for finale event. Also is there really enough time? Winterfell offer happens first and I cannot imagine the actual first talk Jon and Stannis have won't be in finale.

Zombies That Were Promised Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I think Jon will have 3-4 scenes in the finale, the same way Team Dragonstone did last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~No One~ Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 There's also the fact that TV!Jon knows Bran is alive, so Stannis offering Winterfell doesn't have the same impact (for his character) as it did in the books.I could easily see a scene where Jon & Stan talk, maybe Sam & Mel are there too (maybe during this funeral people are referencing) then another scene where Sam submits Jon's name. Last Wall scene is the results, and tada! The Wall is yours, Lord Snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzorAhai42 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Yeah, I thought about how they mentioned it earlier, and honestly, that seems like the biggest, or only, hint that it's going to be in the finale. I'm just worried that they are going to save it for next season since Jon's ADwD chapters have very little excitement going on really. Of course they could add things like they did this season with Craster's Keep and Locke, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen of Whores Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I found Jon's Dance material to be fantastic, and my third favourite storyline of that book next to Davos and Theon (damn, the North was really awesome in that book). Some of Jon's more 'menial' tasks like feeding the wildlings and checking the food stores will probably be cut, but there's still plenty of great stuff there, and many interesting characters like Stannis, Melisandre, Selyse, Shireen and Tormund. Hopefully D&D take advantage of having so many great characters in one place like they have done with King's Landing for the past two seasons (even though I personally disliked what they did with all the filler). With King's Landing losing most of it's interesting characters by the end of this season, I think we'll see a reduced amount of screentime there, and hopefully that time gets shifted over to the Wall.

JonDunn Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Well I think Meereen will be somewhat of a new KL as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody their own I always say. I do however agree with your opinion on Davos and Theon. Great chapters, great characters. Personally, I really found myself bored during the Jon chapters, with characters such as Val and Selyse being replica's of characters we've already seen.. Everytime I read something with Selyse in it, it comes across as Lysa - exactly the same, while Val to me is Ygritte2.0.. But that's a personal thing.. As for your latter part, and thus Kings Landing.. Who is remaining that we know? - Cersei - Pycelle - Tommen - Marge - Qyburn - Jaime: But he will leave early in Season 5 I'd presume.. - Mace: Leaves, but comes back later in the story.. - Loras: Leaves, to take on Dragonstone.. Which is good, because it allows for room for the events in the later portion of Dance, such as Daznak's Pit and perhaps the Battle of Winterfell and the events of the Pink Letter. The thing I'm missing is the High Sparrow. Crowning Tommen without introducing him is already straining the Feast!Cersei-storyline, because the bargain she makes basically is her downfall: Crowning/Reinstated Sons of the Warrior. Why is she going to reinstate that ancient order if she Tommen is already crowned? Well I think Meereen will be somewhat of a new KL as well I think so too.. Well, actually, I think it should be split to around 30/20/10/40. 30% Meereen, 20% Wall, 10% KL, 40% collective of other regions, such as Dorne, the Vale, Riverlands, Iron Islands, North/Winterfell, Beyond the Wall, Braavos, Rhoyne/Volantis, etc.. Either way, the show is really Tyrion-biased so once he moves across the NS, expect a distinct lacking of everything KL aside from Cersei throwing herself of a cliff, metaphorically speaking.. Something I really love about the end of Dance is how every single region is covered by a POV. Beyond the Wall: Bran Wall: Jon, Melisandre North: Asha, Theon, Davos Riverlands: Jaime, Brienne Vale of Arryn: Sansa Crownlands: Cersei Stormlands: JonCon, Arianne Dorne: Areo Hotah Reach: Samwell Westerlands: ...Oh the Westerlands.. Why do you always screw with me? Iron Islands: Aeron Free Cities: Arya Slavers' Bay: Victarion, Tyrion, Barristan Dothraki Sea: Dany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cronnyberg Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I'd be very surprised if they didn't have the election, mainly because I feel like they often end character season-arcs on defining & uplifting moments, and so to have Jon start the season as a potential traitor/outcast and to end it as Lord Commander works really well thematically etc...I just don't think it would have the same impact at the beginning of next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
