The Baelish Mockingbird Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Is Shireen being burnt really one of the big "oh shit" moments? I mean, it was always coming. Maybe one of them is the reveal of Jon's lineage. I mean sure, everyone also saw that coming. However mostly just because of the countless years people have had to theorise on it.

Martin confirmed that they knew that Jon was a Targ when he first met them I think. So I doubt it is this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he is playing games, but I don't the see the point, could have simply omitted that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have said, after Season 7, that they won't tell, what is from George and what is not. They have, however said, that the third "Holy shit Moment", that George told them, will happen at the end of Season 8. However, they wont tell anymore (as they did with Shereen and Hodor) which moment in specific that is. You have to guess. Or not. They did say that. And then proceeded to tell IHS that king Bran came directly from Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However mostly just because of the countless years people have had to theorise on it. It was for David and Dan. According to those silly Inside the Episode segments they were utterly shocked to learn that Shireen would be burned alive. Which is kind of funny, if you think about it, since people who have read the books have been debating for years and years who will do the deed, not whether it will happen. I guess after the show became a hit they stopped reading the forum here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first was Shireen's burning. The second was Hodor's origin. What was the third, in the end? George: And then the elephants of the GC .... D1: elephants, kewl D2: elephants, oh shit, that costs money, you fools ----- The third "oh shit" moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalerionTheCat Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Daenerys incinerating KL. No awful death, no shit moment for D&D... Or the Long Night. One hour max, what a shit! One good dagger stab to end every thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kajjo Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I am convinced the third moment was Daenerys snapping and destroying King's Landing. We all see how emotional and irrational people get about this scene. scene 1: Hodor <confirmed> scene 2: Shireen <confirmed> scene 3: The Bells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, Martin told them Bran will be king )but not of the “6 Kingdoms”), and they just ran with “Bran will be king”, for instance. That would be a very typical thing for the show runners to do. Or there was some misunderstanding between IHS and D&D during this convo. It could even be total , because “creatively it made sense” to them. As a matter of fact, the bs option is the only one where they would be keeping their word about not spoiling anything, so it will be interesting to see what happens in the books. “Did David and Dan keep their word or not?”. At any rate, I am 100% sure that if Bran is to be king of Westeros in the books, it will be widely different, and will even make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s because his wolf’s name told us exactly what he would become just as all the wolves’ names meant for that Stark child. Remembering that Martin deliberately swapped out Lancaster and York from the War of the Roses for Lannister and Stark, all becomes clear. Now is the winter of our discontent. Made glorious summer by this sun of York. If that wasn't a winter of discontent, then I don't what was. All I know is that we can thank this son of Stark for glorious summer.

I suppose by that logic, Arya was always a Rhoynar Founder of Dorne and Robb was actually visible wind? Your logic makes no sense. Stop putting lipstick on a pig.

Kajjo Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 6 hours ago, CrypticWeirwood said: We always knew that Bran would be king. No, we didn't. Up till end of 6 not many people have ever thought of this. In hindsight it make somehow sense. 6 hours ago, CrypticWeirwood said: That’s because his wolf’s name told us exactly what he would become In hindsight the names of the wolves are quite telling. But that's all. And "exactly what" is pretty far-fetched. There were very many possibilites of how a character like Bran could be connected with a "dream of spring" or "summer". He might have sacrificed himself to quench the cold and night. Or whatever. That Bran would be king is not easy to see, not even in hindsight. Please keep humble and serious! 1 hour ago, Beardy the Wildling said: I suppose by that logic, Arya was always a Rhoynar Founder of Dorne and Robb was actually visible wind? Well, I agree that over-interpretation of names just by hindsight knowledge is not justified. On the other hand it is actually the case that the names of the direwolves reflect some character traits or the fate. A more straight-forward interpretation, however, is that these names simply reflect the desires and nature of the children at that moment they gave the wolves their names. The final outcome and choice of names somehow correlate to a certain degree for the surviving Stark children. Sansa's direwolf Lady reflects her desire to become queen -- simple as that. In hindsight this coincides with her actually becoming queen. Arya's direwolf Nymeria reflects the tomboyish, adventurous and fierce nature of Arya . In hindsight she has ended up as sort of warrior hero and went on to the next adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life's easier when there's a Watsonian justification. Still, saying 'Summer' means 'Bran becomes King' is a stretch. Lipstick on a pig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is nonsense. There were several possibilities that Bran could be connected with winning against the Nightking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
