Eurybia Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 No, no, Olly is Aegon. Can't you see? Instead of Griff and Young Griff it's Olyvar and Olly. That was Olly's actual motivation for FTW, he was getting rid of potential Targ competence. I think we're on to something here. Wow. This is totally it. I mean getting rid of other Targs and also Tyrells is the same as targeting Baratheons and Lannisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Cygne Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Tobias Menzies/Edmure is filming Outlander in Scotland. He has some key scenes in season 2 (playing two different characters). But he could fit both in, I think. He retweeted this: https://twitter.com/THR/status/608504525473886208 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toth Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Maybe themes are truly for 8th-graders. I had just a discussion where someone dismissed Jon and Dany as heads of the dragons simply because it is too obvious. There are people who genuinely think GRRM would pick the most unlikely theory simply because he wants to troll his readers. Yeah. The weird thing is, I got exactly the same gripe with people in the Umineko-Fandom, mainly the so-called "Rosa-tricers" who keep on denying that the actual culprit we were shown in the last two books was just a Red Herring (and in doing so completely invalidate the last two of eight books, mind you!) and that something more unpredictable should have happened despite all the foreshadowing and despite every single line serving a higher purpose with the right logic applied to it. Such a point of view is insane! The books don't make sense and you suddenly cannot explain half of the scenes you have read if you force someone else into the shoes of the culprit in Umineko. I once had a long drawn out discussion about that with a Rosa-tricer and kept replying to her honeypotting "Sure, then what was the point of the books?" and she wasn't able to give me any kind of answer (but kept insisting the official answer was too easy). I somehow have the feeling something similar will also happen at the end of Game of Thrones. After all the pointless changes and 'shocking' twists in the next 5 seasons and everything will suddenly change to humans vs. White Walkers and people will ask "Sure, but what was the point of all what had happened before?" GRRM will answer that in his books. D&D have no freaking plan because they just wanted to be unpredictable with changing basically everything except the bare bones of the story.

Anyways... http://i.imgur.com/6hbATzK.png You know what? I wouldn't completely discard this theory. Like, I can see them thinking "what can we do about the Griffins?" and, after some brainstorming, they ended up with these two. Oh, my poor Griff... what have they done to you? How you ended up like a multiuses prostitute?? (ETA: Or not... Olyvars looks more like Aegon, so that makes Olly... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus Agrippa Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Reading the comment section who those sites make me wonder about our species. I would seriously consider letting the white walkers win if i were Martin. Humanity's future is still stock on human pigmentation. Once again, tribalism is silly.

Le Cygne Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 This is so good, I was watching this Outlander video (it's from a year ago), and all three leads have read the books. And the books help them play the scenes, and they know the lines are from the books, because they read them, and the showrunner used them, and they are talking with the author, and it's so nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IioLJ29C2T8 Oh, and in another video, the author was saying she watches the dailies, and the showrunner wants to know what she thinks. And she told the story about one scene, she told him the fans are really going to miss a certain line if you don't include it, and the showrunner included it. And in another, the showrunner said the thing that impressed him most about Claire was her intelligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
