Wait, I read in the comments about baby mice murder. Maybe not the show for me.

But we have a valid rant. Where did all the animals go? And it's a great way to show characterization.

Mmm, I do not remember the baby mice murder. But there were some sad scenes in there. The comments are kind of fun actually/ O no, blood! We cannot show this to our children, while it is actually a story about a bunch of animals who are losing their home because of Men and work and search together a new place to live. (And later, there are baby foxes). 

If only the animals (Lion, Wolves, Dragon...) could find a way to work together to fight against the Others in Game of Thrones.

Wolves! Nymeria's pack of man eating wolves. I miss Nymeria. Fierce!

"They say the pack is led by a monstrous she-wolf, a stalking shadow grim and grey and huge. They will tell you that she has been known to bring aurochs down all by herself, that no trap nor snare can hold her, that she fears neither steel nor fire, slays any wolf that tries to mount her, and devours no other flesh but man."

Gah!!!   Again, I really, really, really..........am beyond fed up with the D's!!

Thank you for the wondrous reminder of Nymeria!!!  Her and her pack are such a PRESENCE in the Riverlands, even when not mentioned.

I know. I have a feeling they will at least use Sandor's nameless horse Stranger as a visual clue it's him, when we see the gravedigger, whenever that may be. They had that scene of them bonding in season 4, at long last. And that scene of Bronn with the horse he called a beast, talking about digging a grave. I have no hope we will see this:

"The gravedigger lowered his head. When Dog went to sniff him he dropped his spade and scratched his ear."

But who would have ever thought there would be an adaptation of ASOIAF where Arya forgot Nymeria? (Or Jon forgot Arya, or Sansa forgot the Hound, for that matter.) They have time for the most stupid nonsense, but not building up these important bonds the characters have with each other. This is supposed to be a character-driven fantasy.

OMG!!!! and LOLOL!!!!

Did the Simpsons really do this?  

Hahahahahaha

 

(a little edit on my part, for a better view) 

[Le Cygne]

I don't want Arya to kill Walder Frey. I guess that's better than her killing Olly. But what would be better than that would be that there was no Olly at all.

If she kills Olly, as much as I can't stand the kid, it's tragic (in a laughable way since I don't buy the shmaltz at all). I don't want him sullying her list, either.

They could go there, another nothing is just nothing matchup, where you hate the whole thing. But they like Arya, they didn't even have her kill the insurance man.

So her big kill o'season will be Walder Frey.

They'll have Olly tied up to a cross, and Arya asking him "What body part don't you need?"

Or Jaime sending Brienne on her way with her new armor and her new sword, and her new Pod, and then never thinnkig of her again, save for ONE moment in Season 5 when he hears "Tarth." Because he still is desperately in love with his sister. Who's not a paranoid, misogynist bitch. 

Man, it's like if you pull ANY of the loose threads, the whole thing starts to unravel. That was one of the things I've loved about the books after three rereads: Those plot threads are TIGHT.

The Blackfish defying Jaime with the words:-

"I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough water! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!  I wave my private parts at your aunties."

That would be awesome.

What?  What horse?  Was his horse even mentioned in the show? Maybe that's the horse Red Dress rode off on?  That is waaay too subtle for Dan and Dave.  More likely they will have him standing around while random people are talking about how nobody ever found the Hound's body, and how he was really tall and burned.  LOL

Yeah, I was smoking the good stuff thinking they would actually take the time to remember what they did 2 seasons ago, but in my defense, they do like to do matchy matchy with the visuals. This is one I like that I put in my signature, but this was clearly done the same way intentionally.

So suddenly there's Sandor petting his horse in season 4, I mean, they are having a moment there. And then Bronn is petting a black horse in season 5, calling it a beast, and doing Hound things, like digging graves. That scene had no point. Yes, Porne in its entirely had no point, but that stood out, they took time out from boobs and bad pussy for that. And in season 2, Bronn talked about the Hound putting people in graves, and that was a scene they added to GRRM's script.

So yes, they are really bad at telling stories, but they are doing some of these things.

I don't know , I feel like that is finding connections that Dan and Dave did not make on purpose.  These are the same 2 that had Brienne say half a dozen times she was going to kill Stannis...only to have her kill Stannis, and have Olly give Jon innumerable dirty looks....only to have him stab Jon.  Just like Cersei is going to burn some cities to the ground and Arya is going to kill Walder Frey.

We know they do all kinds of bizarro random things.  Like what was the point of Cat's story about baby Jon?   No point at all.  None whatsoever.  

I"m not sure they will even include the Quiet Isle at all, nothing happens there, despite that it was a wonderful passage in the book, and Show Brienne already knows Arya is alive cause she already met her, alienated her and killed her protector....

The Hound could simply show back up.  BOOM.  There he is.    

 

 

[Le Cygne]

No, they do stuff like this all the time. All shows do...

(They also had him say "ask her who came back for her" about Sansa. They had Sam say something similar about Jon, "he always comes back.")

Yes, they messed up this story, too. Why they hell he'd still be in "love" with Cersei, who the hell knows.

(And I agree with your second part, too. And they just randomly pulled those threads all over.)

OMG, Carol was Cersei in the pilot:

 

Quote

"The pilot really didn't work," Harington told Bill Turnbull on BBC Breakfast on Tuesday morning.

"No one's ever seen it, it's in some back room somewhere, and I'd like it to stay there!"

Perhaps Harington has ulterior motives for wanting the pilot to remain buried, though, admitting "I had a horrible wig on".

Meanwhile, the star remained as coy as ever about his involvement in the upcoming sixth series of Game of Thrones, but did tell Turnbull "It's going to be a very exciting season... so I'm led to believe."

I think they cut it as it would make Cersie out to be too evil, even though she is supposed to be. Personally, I think it would have been a great scene to include.

[Le Cygne]

I thought they said some of the pilot was used in the first episode. I remember them talking on the commentary, telling which scenes were shot with film or digital, like the crypt scene with Robert I think was film.

I still think "corn" is important: it makes a connection between the 3EC (who says "corn") and Mormont's Raven (who is obsessed with "corn"). And it certainly does want to signal Mormont's Raven is special. Apparently ravens eat normally meat and Mormont's raven don't; something addressed by Maester Aemon who says then MR is a special bird. 

But I think that is the only meaning of "corn"

Step back from the corn!  Bran fed the WF ravens corn, right out of his hand!

Quote

There were crows' nests atop the broken tower, where no one ever went but him, and sometimes he filled his pockets with corn before he climbed up there and the crows ate it right out of his hand. None of them had ever shown the slightest bit of interest in pecking out his eyes.

Mormont's raven was having what ever Jon was having, bacon, eggs, whatever.  And corn.

edt; the Bran quote is from A Game of Thrones.
