Westeros Blog: The Pointy End


Recommended Posts

The first draft of episode 8’s script is now in to David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, according to GRRM, who says it’s “too long and too expensive” but that’s the case with all the first drafts of screenplays and teleplays he’s ever written.

I don't think she should be used instead of Alayaya. Part of the thing (I have no idea what word to use instead of thing, so I just used thing. I'm thinking "deal" but it doesn't exactly work, does it) with Alayaya is that she was Tyrion's cover - he never actually slept with her. I don't think Ros should be anyone at Chataya's...
