Phonzadellika Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Arya will sail away in episode 10. They have apparently cast a bravoosi ship captain. I do think we will see Jon become LC. They have a knack for putting in filler scenes that go no where and wrapping up people's storylines in a few minutes. It can be done. Agreed about Jon. I think they'll simply proclaim him LC after the attack is done and skip the business about Sam rigging the election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trgryn-strk-lnstr-mrtell Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Speak for yourself. I think she seems like an underprepared kid completely out of her depth but earnestly trying to do better :agree: :agree: would just add temperamental and paranoid in addition to underprepared...

littleRickon Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 "squatting over their chamber pots" I read a lot of people interpret this as foreshadowing Tywin's death in ep. 10. I think it's not, I think it's a wink to book readers and a sign that Tywin is not going to die on the shitter, but somewher else, somewhere more suited for TV. While it certailny could be done, showing the whole dialog between Ty and Ty on the toilet would be increadibly awkward. It's much easier to picture someone shitting than watching someone shitting. So I think they take it to a more filmable venue and this was our wink from D&D as a tribute to that book scene. I think the show has done it a few times, reference book they didn't show in a line here or there. If they do it on the toilet than this line from LF will stand out as increadibly conspicuous on a rewatch. Why did he know about that? Did he plan this one behind the curtains as well?So my money is on no "shitting gold" on the show. More likely the bedchamber with dead Shae in the background.

White Harbors Wrath Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I don't know about that. They seem to be moving things pretty fast, and LC election IS in ASOS. They'd want to wrap that up this season. All they have to do is mention of the LC elections in stannis/jon talk. Have a few scenes with Sam trying to convince people and then the election itself. They'll keep the rest of the jon/stannis/melisandre interaction for next season. After the LC election...there's nothing for John to do until the Pink Letter eventually leading to his "event", that will make even remotely interesting TV viewing. Lets face it...I like Jons material in ADwD...but it's a lot of introspective stuff and politics of the wall that will not keep unsullied attention. If he's elected LC in Ep. 10 they're going to meander about at the wall doing nothing all season? Unless they just plan on having a Jon/Stannis scene every third episode and drag that along. We'll see I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Harbors Wrath Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Possibly. They have to at least squeeze some Mance material in there too. The guys been on the show 6.5 minutes. Dominic Wests best career decision ever was turning down that role. What a waste of an actor and part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lizard King Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Agreed. Plus i really think she would have flubbed the hell out of a more emotional performance. Being more cold is probably a better mark. Its so glorious in gif form... http://37.media.tumblr.com/ad0533262dcf9d166e05c06bf086bafc/tumblr_n6iselo0Nz1qz72sno1_500.gif http://uproxx.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/m3.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Zee Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) They managed to finish Sansa's whole AFFC arc in like 10 minutes so... They finished her emotional arc. they are still actions which she has to do. Everything I listed before are actions which must be done.

TheCrimsonKing Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) I think the very last seconds of Episode 10 will be Lady Stoneheart. The Tywin/Tyrion scene will be most likely shortly before it. Maybe Tyrion escaping. Either way, It will probably be one hell of an episode! Just imagine all those unsullied reaction videos going up on YouTube! Edited June 3, 2014 by TheCrimsonKing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will they just slap some make up on an anonymous actress? As LS can't speak and is horribly mutilated it seems a waste of money to pay for a top shelf actress to play her.

SerArthurHeath Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I think it's best she does. She's not in many scenes anyway, and it will have less impact and might confuse people if it's not clearly Michelle. Certain more than Asha-Osha would have. This isn't the Mountain or Daario, people we have no emotional attachment to (well, except hate now for the Mountain). This is a woman whose death really upset a lot of viewers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As LS can't speak and is horribly mutilated it seems a waste of money to pay for a top shelf actress to play her. It would never work with a different actress, and the show does make a fair amount of money to afford spending a rather inconsequential sum of money to provide a great effect and reaction.

LugaJetboyGirl Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 God, I really want to participate in this discussion but this thread is so long I despair of even reading a few pages of it. I will say that I really loved that the episode had such a visual link to the tradition of ASOIAF art. So many of the scenes were laid out in compositions that couldn't help but be familiar to followers of fantasy art and art from the series. I thought the colors were stunning and some of the scenes had really spectacular imagery - the meeting of the two Bolton armies, the scenes inside the Eyrie (whether that wonderful winding LF stroll down the stairs, Sansa in her room, or the great shots in the LF trial) , the dramatic ugliness outside Moat Cailin with Theon on his horse, Grey Worm leaping into the river viewed from under water, Barriston and Mormont on the outside terrace, the absolutely stunning battle location in Kings Landing. So many of the episodes lack that epic visual element, but I thought it was well done in this case. It was a feast for the eyes. (Of course, as Pod says, it may helped that I was watching it in HD).

Mithras Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 A more important question: Did he poison Tywin before the duel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleRickon Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 It wouldn't imply that LF was involved. It would in fact just be dramatic irony The guy who two episodes back had the big reveal that it was miraculously him behind the murder of a very important character in S01E01 talks about people dying on chamber pots and then another two episodes later a very important character dies on the chamber pot and the unsullied are not going to suspect him? seems misleading to me.
