Lucius Lovejoy Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Right so if you could pick any two characters in the series to meet and have a discussion, who would they be and why? I would want to see Jaime and Stannis interact - it would be like the Jaime/Blackfish parle, only more so. Stannis' open contempt and annoyance versus Jaime pushing his buttons to amuse himself. Robert Baratheon and Daenerys is my backup choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardy the Wildling Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Jon Snow and Daenery- oh, that one turned out a lot more tepid than we all imagined. Sansa and Arya post-character devel- oh, no, that one turned out a little stilted too. Seriously, though, Jorah Mormont and Jeor Mormont. I imagine they'd have a lot of shit to work through (plus, Jorah's minor character status has left him relatively unbutchered, and Jeor Mormont was mercifully dead by Season 5, so they wouldn't just be trading catchphrases for t-shirts and mugs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirArthur Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Lady Stoneheart and Jon Snow. Oh, ups, sorry. Did that hurt ? How about Jeyne Pool and Sansa ? Oh, wait. Maybe Jorah and Jon about Longclaw. Oh wait. It happened. It was pointless. So counterquestion: What is the point about chats in the show ? Give me some awesome scenes. As if I would any longer watch the show for story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked to see that. In the show, I imagine we would have a discussion between Jorah and Lyanna Mormont. I would like it if any of the schemers who are currently dead found out that honorable Ned Stark hid the heir to the Iron Throne. I could imagine Tywin's or Littlefinger's reaction to that news. I would have also liked it that Aemon knew that Jon was his relative and that Dany was coming North to help. He would have been very proud. I could also imagine Viserys reaction in finding out that he wasn't the important one. It was Dany. Who brought forth the dragons and has an army of Unsullied and Dothraki fighting for her. Also, he is not the heir to the Iron Throne, it is Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not what I meant. Bran has to narrate how Bran wargs Hodor and Aerys and how he talks to himself. Fire, Hodor, Fire, Hodor. And then he losses concentration. The camera zooms out. You see Aerys sitting on the throne and before the film blends out, one single worde leaves his mouth: "Hodor". And Bran starts crying, because he has fucked it up again. Meanwhile Hodor burns down the stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Lovejoy Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 @Beardy the Wildling and @SirArthur you are right about mid-S5 through current character chats being pretty terrible - the "beyond the wall" episode had a few really eye roll inducing interactions. But there were a few excellent face offs before, ones that didn't even happen in the books - think Tywin and Olenna late in S3, or Oberyn and Varys in S4. Even Joffrey and Jaime's S4 chat was pretty great. Bronn used to be good until he became written to exclusively be light hearted and casually vulgar (this started in the Blackwater episode). I wish GRRM was still around to help consult on the writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirArthur Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 @Lucius Lovejoy: Maybe I am too sarcastic on the issue, but the Jon-Jorah conversation really broke the stick for me. We are 7/8 through the series and we get useless blanter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gendry magically starting to give a fuck about lineage and deciding that because Bobby B was his dad (his dad he never hinted at trying to imitate beforehand) and Sean Bean was Jon Snow's dad, they should automatically become bezzies. Heck, even Kit Harrington looks a little uncomfortable at Gendry's aggressive overtures of forced friendship, like even he can't hide how hideously unnatural it all is.

Gendry was trying very hard to be Jon's best friend. Come on. You already have a Stark bestie and that is Arya. You mentioned your father who you never met and Ned Stark who you met for 5 minutes, yet you don't mention the one person you traveled with for months who considered you family.

StoneColdJorahMormont Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 an extended hour of tywin and olena trading insults and quips would do me. With Bronn in attendance throwing in sarcy one liners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Eyed Crow Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Jaime Lannister and post-fall Bran. Both have changed so much. Before, Jaime probably doesn’t care that he pushed a little boy out a high window, but now he’d likely feel guilty and try to apologise. Ironically, Bran now probably doesn’t give a damn. ——— Bran: Last time we saw each other was in that tower. I saw what you did to your sister. Jaime: Yeah ... sorry about that ... we don’t choose who we love. It’s beyond our control. Bran: And she was so beautiful. Jaime: Okay ... I think I’ll leave now Bran: And you were so beautiful. Jaime: ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
