Westeros Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 ... in another interview, that is, this time with NY Magazine’s Vulture. There’s some spoilers in there, so beware if you want to stay unspoiled. Here’s the most spoilerish bit, and some speculation below:“It’s so funny to work with him again. And this time, I get to throw him in a prison. But I better not say too much about Game of Thrones, or Mr. HBO will kill me.”read on >>>Visit the Site!

The Anti-Targ Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Well, technically you don't have to take your bra' off to birth a shadow baby. But starkers in the book means starkers in the show...except for Catelyn.Interesting she was up for the part of Cersei. I think she would have worked as Cersei, and Lena would have worked as Mel. But I'm happy the way it turned out. Accent-wise I suppose it's better for Carice to be Mel than Cersei. Be weird having a Brit accented dad and a Dutch accented daughter. It's just as well NCW's accent isn't too strong. Would have been quite good to have Northern Europeans as the whole Lannister clan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'm not very clear on the sequence of events in the books, I've only read the books once and it's been a while, but isn't Davos ending up in jail at Mellisander's behest from ASOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HenrikLannister Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Sounds like structurally that might be Davos' cliffhanger in the season finale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Oberyn_ Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Well, technically you don't have to take your bra' off to birth a shadow baby. But starkers in the book means starkers in the show...except for Catelyn. Thank the gods :P Damn, I thought the supposed drown would be a better way to end the season for Davos his story arc. There might be other doa endings so they did not want to overdo it.Also Davos ends up being doa qute alot so maybe they are saving it for a diferent season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Sounds like structurally that might be Davos' cliffhanger in the season finale?Yep. It looks like they are moving a bit of early ASOS plot points into episode 10 - Presumably for the Davos and Jamie storylines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkash Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Yeah, we would see Davos in episode 9 ending facing the fires of the Blackwater.And episode 10 might see him on his rock, agonizing and his come back to DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickStormborn Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 A Clash of Kings pretty much ends with the aftermath of the Blackwater -- in King's Landing. A lot of the other plot points are left up in the air, like Davos, Jaime, Arya, Jon, etc. As the Blackwater is in episode 9, it is likely that they've brought some of the early ASOS chapters into episode 10.

Jack Sparrow Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I hadn't really thought of it before, but it makes sense to not include Davos being stranded on the island, both as a time-saving move and saving costs. He'll probably just escape with Stannis back to Dragonstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snark Knight Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 It would still be in Davos's character to take the actions that got him landed in prison for what he saw at Storm's End. It's not canon but I think there is a right way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ServantOnIce Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Wow, I figured they would advance the story some and include some season 3 stuff in this season as they included a bit of season 2 stuff in the end of last season. Folks have to remember this series is $$$ and HBO doesn't have advertisers to help with the bills . . I think they are doing the right thing and I am going to love seeing some of the changes that the Directors/Writers/Producers have in store for us book readers.

Lady Octarina Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I think it would make sense whether they chose to put Davos in jail as a cliffhanger, or before the battle, it wouldn't really ruin the story so much, what comes next to him in ASoS doesn't depend that much on being imprisoned. But I agree it would probably be cheaper to have that as his cliffhanger than his being lost on an island, which only had a purpose in the book, really, because we know how that affects him psychologically.

Arkash Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Yes, and the psychology of this scene would be really really hard to retranscript in images, so I guess they will completely skip these moments.I actually wonder what will bring him to jail, so, will they keep the fact that he wanted to kill Melisandre or will they change that ?

Lady Octarina Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I believe they probably will keep it, if that happens after the battle, they just have to show how much the deaths of his children affected him, and put the blame on Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drogon's Personal Trainer Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Yeah, we would see Davos in episode 9 ending facing the fires of the Blackwater.And episode 10 might see him on his rock, agonizing and his come back to DS.I'm pretty sure I've read in the last few days that Blackwater is Episode 8.

Francis Buck Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Call me a perv, but this chick seems like she'd be down for some freaky shit. She just has that attitude. And that works perfect for Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opark77 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I'm pretty sure I've read in the last few days that Blackwater is Episode 8.That would be a change from previously announced information:http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Blackwater_(episode)http://grrm.livejournal.com/237806.htmlAny idea where you read it?
