BlackTalon Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I do not see why that disguise issue ought be any problem. You see an old man, face covered mostly by a hood, only a white beard visible, he smashes the manticore from Danys hand, kneels before her and then removes the hood, looks up and says "my name is Arstan, I was sent to protect you" ... and millions of viewers look flabbergasted at each other, thinking "holy crap it is that kingsguard guy from season 1 on an undercover mission and Dany doesn´t know it!"I suspect the viewers will enjoy the knowledge that they are aware of Arstan´s identity (more than just a few will totally miss it, I am sure) while Dany is not even more than the way the reveal was handled in the books. It could really build suspense over several episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerMixalot Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 They better have Strong Belly with Ser Grandfather or I will be visibly upset. Not that that will do anyone any good or harm, but there you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willem Blackfyre Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 couldnt they just have barristan be the ships captain? groleo and belwas can both be eliminated from the show fairly easily, and having him as the ships captain would be a great way for him to stay present and interact wiht dany but still stay under the radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Davos, I doubt any point of view characters we’ve seen has the sea-going experience to do that. It’s a highly skilled position, which is why modern nations grant master’s licences for such purposes. Now maybe if instead of Ian MᶜElhinney, they’d gotten Russell Crowe to play Ser Barristan . . . 🚢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticWeirwood Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 We need Strong Belwas, who else take a dump in front of the slaver city?And which city might that be? Perhaps there will only be one slaver city. Or perhaps Dany-Aerys’s odyssey will proceed like this:Season one: Pentos and Vaes DothrakSeason two: QarthSeason three: AstaporSeason four: YunkaiSeason five: MeereenSeason six: MeereenSeason seven: MeereenSeason eight: MeereenSeason nine: ♬ “Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me!” ♬Season ten: the StepstonesSeason eleven: [CANCELLED] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickon is FIERCE Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Now maybe if instead of Ian MᶜElhinney, they’d gotten Russell Crowe to play Ser Barristan . . . Hmmmm....a bit too young for Selmy,... I want to see Geoffrey Rush find a place in Westeros... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertOfTheHouseBaratheon Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 There's also Renly asking about Barristan earlier in the series, I think he was talking to Cat though maybe that was in my head.Despite the illogic around it I think Barristan is going to turn out to be the Ships captain, in this series or the next. D&D don't seem to care anymore about plot holes as long as it cuts their minor character budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
