Ser Endrew Tarth Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Strong Belwas is a must! Not only for the "WTF this old guy is a squire" mystery, but mainly for his fight outside the gates of Yunkai (i believe it was yunkai...). I mean he wipes his butt on the dead guys cloak! Classic GRRM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryagainlater Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 As a book purist, I will gloat that I never liked that scene, complained about it here, and was totally unsurprised to hear that D and D wrote it.Touché Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Lannister Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm happy with Theon having a role in S3. After the clusterfuck ending of his arc in S2, it's important that we get some closure... sooner rather than later. Something along these lines might do him justice, or catch him up to where he needs to be for S5: My personal crackpot is that Theon will be brutalized/tortured by a guy in a suit of armour this season; specifically, a guy in a red helm. Some time later, a prisoner named "Reek" will be thrown in the cell with Theon, and they'll quickly become something akin to downtrodden friends; through their interactions, we'll learn that the Boltons trashed Winterfell and pinned it on the now-dead Ironborn. Reek finds a way to escape, and the two flee into the Bolton forests, getting split up along the way... only it's all a twisted game. "Reek" drops the charade, revealing himself as Bolton's sadistic bastard -- the very same guy who's been torturing him -- and brutally recaptures Theon in his shiny suit (and his hunting hounds) for the evuls. Something along those lines would perhaps lead nicely into his borderline-insanity when next we meet him, and even set up the Reek angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkash Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'd prefer Daario to do the fight for Meereen rather than Barristan... if they cut Belwas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolene Brown Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Since we know Daario is in, perhaps they'll shift things around a bit and bring Barristan in as HIS squire. Sorry, Perugo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Barristan takes his place in that battle.I hope they don't do Barristan wiping his ass on cloacks anytime soon. Or I swear to good I'll never watch this series again.

I thought it was pointless willy-waving... and we all know Sandor would choke Bronn on his own guts, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perogo Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Since we know Daario is in, perhaps they'll shift things around a bit and bring Barristan in as HIS squire. Sorry, Perugo.In case it wasn't clear, I was doing a bit from 30 Rock. IMO Belwas is ultimately an expendable character, though he would be fun. I'd rather they spend time getting Vargo's lisp right.

Jolene Brown Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 You have even less hope of Vargo's lisp than Belwas, if you had really cared about Belwas! I'll die of shock if they leave that in, although you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticWeirwood Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 No, Martin won’t be writing the Red Wedding. He said how it was very hard for him to write the first time, and that he didn’t fancy writing it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkash Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 And moreover that he was thrilled and afraid of how it would turn out on TV... which for me, means he is not involved in it, neither in the writing nor in the directing or artistic decisions.

akajea Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Would have liked him to write it for the security, since it is basically the defining scene of ASoIaF. But I think D&D can do a fine job provided they don't decide to take any "liberties".The worst thing is the Greatjon's actor not returning. Is it known whether they are recasting him or will there simply not be a Greatjon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blutrabe Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 The worst thing is the Greatjon's actor not returning. Is it known whether they are recasting him or will there simply not be a Greatjon?The way I read it, he wasn't approached by the producers to return in S3. So I doubt they would recast the character.
