TheEvilKing Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Beautiful trailer.... but I am worried about 2 things, we see Osha with Bran and Hodor.... no Reeds of course, but also no Rickon?? waiting to see what's upt with this story arc.....Wtf, Rickon isn't in the 2 or 3 seconds we see of Bran so you're worried he's not in the whole season?The kid had about a minute screen time in season 1. He is a super minor character at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 There are things that they seem to have advanced in the story and I don't think we will see the Reeds at all. When Catelyn tells Robb about "Jeyne" that is in Storm of Swords clear as day . . it seems they will be moving fast with this series because of costs.Also, I do like they have adapted things for television. TV series are different for books.We learn about the Jeyne thing in ASOS, yes, but it happened during ACOK. So, adding it to season 2 is quite logical, they don't have the PoV issue.

Bayard Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Wtf, Rickon isn't in the 2 or 3 seconds we see of Bran so you're worried he's not in the whole season?The kid had about a minute screen time in season 1. He is a super minor character at this stage.I am not worried about him showing or not, lol, I am worried what it means for the entire story, if he is separated from Osha!!! wright?? of course, that scene is hopefully before they run from Winterfell, just strolling through the wood.... but if it's after, well, who would Bran trust enough to give them Rickon??? to agree to separate from him?? from who we know from the show, only maester Luwin... maybe also Rodrik Cassel, but he is a too powerfull character, a leader in the North to run to Skagos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkash Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I got the feeling that the whole Bran / Hodor / Osha samples came from the same scene: so with the comet, and the comet is gone from the sky when they live Winterfell, so this whole scene is still in Winterfell.

The show could either send Rickon with Bran, Hodor and Asha Osha or kill him and Shaggydog. They may see a need for an important and shocking death in Season 2 and some economical and plot reasons.Mind you, I hope they won't do this. Because it would be a sign that GRRM in book 6 or 7 has no important role for Rickon. Getting Rickon killed off in the show in Season 2 would ruin a lot for the readers of the cycle.

Jack Sparrow Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 My only problem is that: how is Dany aware of the situation in Westeros, how did the news reach her ?Probably the same way news would reach her in the books, and in the first season. In the first book, she learns of Robert's promise of a lordship for anyone who kills Viserys, and it was either the first or the second book that she learned of Robert's death, I think. I can't blame them for wanting even a little more information to find its way to Dany in the show, because it's a problem with her storyline being too unrelated to the rest of the story. It looked like she was probably in Qarth when she was having that conversation with Jorah in the trailer, so there would at least be avenues for news to reach her, and I can see the producers' point of view if they want her to have at least a general idea of the war going on in Westeros (which is definitely the type of news that would get around).

trins Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I've always thought they would keep the fact that Robb married Jeyne out of honor and his love for Jon and not really because he loves her to death! DAMMIT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Yeah, I don't like that.In the books, GRRM often cheats with teleportation, but this is far worse.I withdraw, I checked the wiki and Daenerys learns about what happens in Westeros thanks to the Summer Islander Sam meets in AFFC.My bad.

And of course, we would lose from the genius of Tyrion and his huge chain. Also I hope they don't cut the death of his 4 sons. We don't need to see it, just that it happens, it is very important for the story of Davos.They could just not kill off Maester Luwin, and have Rickon go with him.

Arkash Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Not stupid this idea of an Iron Born raid, but they are not stupid to wear full armors on boats, no ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silmarien Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Not stupid this idea of an Iron Born raid, but they are not stupid to wear full armors on boats, no ?Yes, in general. Davos comments on this in his POV. Knights in full plate tend to sink very easily to the bottom of deep water, drowning to death.Could be Battle of the Blackwater, as well. Davos mentioned the shiny knights on those boats in his POV for that part of ACoK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boojam Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Boy everybody must have better eyes than me for CGI , can't see the VFX work on the dire wolf.The Osha, Hodor, Bran, comet thing kind of confuses me, but maybe indeed they are still in Winterfell?Sure are stubborn about the Ironborn scenario, I wonder if that's worked into episode 1, lot cover in the first few episodes.I have the impression the teleplay scripting has rearranged some things and maybe narrative too? Well they have a mighty task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkash Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 For me, it's obvious they are still in Winterfell.And trust me, when you work in the cinema industry all day, you really spot the CGI in a second, which is sad because I am never impressed by special effects, except in really minor occasions, like Pirates of the Carribean II and III, District 9 and few others...

Silmarien Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 They could be in the godswood. Bran mentions "men are saying it's blah blah blah" so it sounds like um, Winterfell is still okay and not under house arrest at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boojam Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I am guessing, that like most productions soundtrack scoring is done late.So nothing new by Ramin Djawadi yet, a little bit from the first season has shown up.For me , first time I watched episode 1 ,first season , the opening credits, I was sold down the creek, by the music first and the CGI 'map' work next.Seems odd they don't use a little of the main theme in any of the promotional stuff so far.Maybe it's a contract thing?

Silmarien Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I have a theory on that weird Ros/LF scene. Perhaps she is pregnant, and they pull the "Tansy/Moon Tea" bit to set up the plot point for a certain other character later in the series. Crackpot?

Ser Smartypig Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 My guess is that what Jon "saw", he saw while warging Ghost. Instead of something about Craster's sons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
