Ser Osis of Liver Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 For the sake of a season-ending cliffhanger, I can see Bran and Rickon having just been "killed", still being "dead" as far as the audience is concerned, or the reveal of their being alive in the crypts. In any of these scenarios the whole situation with Meera and Jojen wouldn't matter and could be brought up in S3.There's one big problem with Osha being Bran and Hodor's companion as their adventures north begin. Remember, Osha isn't a greenseer. Jojen is, and that's the reason they go North in the first place, to develop Bran's visions with the CotF.

trins Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 In the books though he actually really loved her and she loved him tooTrue, he does love her. But he married her because of honor the day after sleeping with her... I dunno I've always felt he kind of grew to love after he initially married her for fear of getting her pregnant and honor and thinking back to what Jon's situation.

They will have the Reeds in, it is known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sparrow Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 What you said in the second spoiler is spot on...Why else would Bran go north? They will have the Reeds in, it is known.I really don't understand some people taking this stance: in the book, Bran goes north becuase of Jojen's green dreams? I don't even remember if that's specifically true or not, but if that's the case, why would anybody think it would be hard to replace that? After the razing of Winterfell, Bran's going to have to go somewhere, so all they have to do is use his dreams (which can say whatever the producers' want) combined with Osha's perspective/interpretation of Bran's dreams. Supplying that motivation is pretty easy, if the bar you've set is somebody's dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvinus85 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Just saw it. Looks cool. The red comet, Lightbringer, the CGI wolves and dragons, the fight scenes. I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Osis of Liver Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Colour me disappointed at the lack of Reek being cast as well, and CGI direwolves. Especially the direwolves. If S2 plays out as ACoK does, how can there be no Reek? More reason why I think that's all going to play out in S3. I hope, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll have Bran get the greenseer dreams instead?Ugh, dammit. Is there a chance that they were cast and we just don't know about it? I don't want to imagine the alternative.

Ser Osis of Liver Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 What the hell is Bran's storyline going to include then?Probably it'll start with whole Theon/AshaYara backstory, introduce Balon and the other Iron Islanders in general (remember, we haven't seen them yet on-screen), then have it culminate with Spoiler Theon taking control of Winterfell. The chase through the forest will ensue and my guess is that S2 will end up with Bran and Rickon being dead with their heads mounted on spikes. The second half of that story could then ostensibly take place next season. Without M & J and without 'Reek', you're right, there's not much for the l'il guy to do.Maybe they'll have Bran get the greenseer dreams instead?"You will go to the Dagobah system...."

Silmarien Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 The bit with Osha, Bran and Hodor walking through the forest annoyed me a lot. Here's why:Firstly, why are they walking through the woods, especially at the start of the series when the comet is going through the sky?Where are the Reeds? Cutting them out will ruin the Bran storyline in the next few seasons. Is he gonna chat to Hodor as they're travelling or something?Why is Osha saying that the comet means dragons? This implies that dragons will soon be coming to Westeros, when (if they stick to the books, which they should) this won't happen until like Season 7. Also, why would a wildling be wise about dragons and what signals them? Dragons were only in Westeros for a relatively short amount of time, and I'm pretty sure none of them went north of the Wall.She says "Fire and Blood" in the books. How is this a big change? Why wouldn't Osha know about dragonlore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveSumm Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 If they're emphasising Jon and Ghost's 'relationship' by having him see Crasters offering through Ghost.........I would be SOOOOO happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkash Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 My question is, what is Jamie Lannister gonna do all season?Trying to escape, facing Grey Wind, Rob and Catelyn, talking about him to whoever will listen to him and that is all !

Arkash Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Well, Alton is not that important, and actually, if he's actually supposed to be Cleos Frey, he will not be that important before next season.The one I'd love to see is Roose Bolton, and see Balon Greyjoy in action.But I agree, showing Asha/Yara so soon would be a mistake, hope they'll keep her a secret until her first and cult appearance !

GoodGuyA Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Anyone else disappointed in the lack of Alton Lannister so far in these trailers? Truly a disappointment. I had to look up to figure who you were talking about... And now that I did, no, I truly don't care. I think his only real purpose was the emphasize the danger of the journey, and I don't think that particular point really needed to be made. He could still be a character as delivering the peace offering, but there's no reason to carry him over another season for the journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy shit is Stannis hot!!!! yeah yeah he's a bit oldddd but so HOT! T_TThank R'hllor, I thought I was the only one :blushing: I find his character incredibly attractive (even in the books) and Stephen Dillane seems to be the perfect guy to bring Stannis to life. I love him in all the pictures and the trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
