Then WHY O WHY did they include that one scene in S5 when he asks if an island is Estermont, and the captain tells him it's Tarth, the Sapphire Isle, and NCW gets that look ... I could watch THAT on a loop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could watch THAT on a loop! THE TARTH GAZE!!! See how easy it is to make us happy. Stupid show could make us happy so easily. They live for our tears. Let's loop it, here and now: http://brienneoftarth.tumblr.com/post/119119269163/tarth-ser-jaime-the-sapphire-isle And here's another, Sandor: http://romancingthecage.tumblr.com/post/89453434156 Now all they need to do is do one of those for Brienne and Sansa. And voila, they've got a story (or at least a start!) All the "beauty" and "beast" references in the world mean jack if you don't actually tell a story.

It's going to be the Bronn Show. I know, he's utterly and unequivocally doomed... Just out of curiosity, who's the better woman Jaime promised Bronn. It did occur to me the other day, Brienne is an only child, too. (No big sister to worry about taking out either, we want nothing to weigh too heavy on Bronn's conscience, such an innocuous sellsword...) In all fairness, though, he witnessed the Jaime/Brienne goodbye scene, he was right there beside Jaime. Suddenly I'm dreading having to plow through the complete mess the upcoming season will inevitably be. (Maybe Brienne will ditch Jaime for Bronn, even their names match, like Sansa/Sandor. So the sole purpose of insinuating Tyene into the story was to acquaint Bronn with strong, badass women. Mind the alliteration...) ETA: Not that Tyene consorts well with that notion, but... eh... she might be able to handle her spear convincingly in an agressive stance, if hard-pressed to, I suppose. (Also, I despise the word badass myself, but they turned Gwendoline Christie into a dissident, I guess it was only a matter of time before I was brought to heel, too.)

Étoile du Soir Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 In order that they should engage explicitly, as they have demonstrated before, in so short a space of time, no less, with alternative methods of storytelling, Bronn will serve as a sufficient Hyle Hunt stand-in, I'm well aware. So Brienne might take to mouthing off at Pod, that she once had dreams of marrying a proper lord, and suchlike, then proceed to yell at him again. And Sansa might take to calling Littlefinger of "Chaos is a Laddah" my little mockingbird (she is taller than him), and it will be perfectly in line with her recently-acquired status as a highly-accomplished seductress. (They even had Cersei call Sansa out as a tender-hearted dove, in fact, more times than they had Sandor, so what else is new under the sun...) All right, sarcasm may indeed have its limits, so my thanks go out to @Le Cygne for the Sandor and Jaime pics, I like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Mom Carol just has the perfectly reasonable expectation that her babydaddy/brother won't let their children get killed.

Sarcasm is good! It prepares us for the show. So back to our nightmare, would Larry be the one to set them up, I wonder. No way would Jaime ever set up Brienne and Ser Hyle.

I love that movie and always imagined the Red Wedding as resembling the way Patrice Chereau filmed the Bartholomew's Eve massacre. Perfect! Maybe that is why we do not have Ser Ronnet on the show, either. It probably goes without saying, Brienne!Smash took good care of him, never to be spied with the naked eye, or to intrude on our cherished musings again... And the we don't get to choose who we love line is full of stooopide, and more... Jaime's relationship with Cersei may thus carry the weight of lifelong acquaintance, but it is a connection substantially foiled by the realization that the twins are seeing only in glimpses, or through distorted lenses. Notwithstanding that Jaime now shares a very important bond with Brienne, which issues a momentous challenge to readers and characters alike, for assessments of character are so clearly determined by the interior lives of the protagonists. Their interactions begin to also raise questions about how to know truly another human being, and, Jaime's bath confession, most of all, is characteristic of the irreverent narration of ASoIaF, as it challenges conventional assumptions and unexamined opinions. Neither of the two, initially, appear to crave the other's company, but they are both transformed by it, and so too is the reader in the text. And yet, the show... Le sigh. Yes, too, here, unabashed admirer of La Reine Margot! Hence the French (Evenstar) username! Now I have to come up with a workable signature, I of all things French...

This is the part I am indeed looking forward to the most in Winds, Jaime doling out the golden backhand to Hyle's detriment. (If we ever lay claim to a copy, it must be a miracle to behold...)
