flidderman Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Oh wow, don't realise Natalia Tena would be playing Osha. I've only just cracked an started watching series 1.Keep watching. There's full frontal nudity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAndFullOfTurnips Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 If Osha is killed who the hell takes Rickon?How about Gendry? He could've been killed on that trek. Although Lancel does seem a good guess, since he's done virtually nothing up until now in the novels since aCoK and does seem to be possibly important coming up.

Mladen Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 What about Theon? He hasn`t done anything worthy for three books. I possibly agree on Lancel, but not on Bronn, it seems to me that he`s liked by the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boondockquigs Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Looking at season two's cast and taking into account the people we know die or appear to die in the books, I'd guess the Hound.agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewingedwolf Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 agreeI am sticking with Davos, it would have been easy to kill him at the BBB but he will bring Rickon back to Winterfell in TWoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Wing Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Um, I guess the OP meant this:Are there any changes the TV show made that you particularly liked?I loved some of the new scenes they added. As a novelist, I have certain tools like internal monologue and the device of the unreliable narrator. I can have flashbacks and dreams, which are pretty hokey in a TV series. So they had to insert some new scenes. I loved the interplay between Varys and Littlefinger, which never occurred in the books since neither is a viewpoint character. I loved the scene of Drogo ripping out Mago’s throat, which was entirely new. But that’s going to have ramifications if we go the full length down the pike. I’ve talked to Dan and Dave about the butterfly effect — you’re familiar with the classic Ray Bradbury short story?A Sound of Thunder. One of my favorites.Step on a butterfly in the Pleistocene Era and it changes everything in year 2000. [MILD BOOK 6 SPOILER WARNING] So Mago is not dead in the books. And, in fact, he’s going to be a recurring character in Winds of Winter. He’s a particularly nasty bloodrider to one of the other Khals that’s broken away after Drogo dies. This is the challenge the shows face as we go forward. There will be divergences, they’re trying to be faithful and Dan and David are doing a wonderful job. But the books are plotted so intricately that you do step on a butterfly in season one and in season four you’re going to have to deal with that. There’s also another character, [the singer] Marillion, who also got his tongue ripped out in season one, and that doesn’t happen with the books. Joffrey makes that decision, but it’s an unnamed bard. Marillion [has more to do]. We ought to call it The Tongue Effect instead of The Butterfly Effect.The interview.

StannisEndGame Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 StannisEndGame,can you provide a link to the article you reference in your first post? Because, again, this sounds suspiciously like the season 1 situation I referenced up thread, but with the details changed.I'll try to find it I believe it was in a interview I saw on youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Wolfwalker Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I am sticking with Davos, it would have been easy to kill him at the BBB but he will bring Rickon back to Winterfell in TWoW.I'd think it's safe to assume they aren't going to kill off POV characters.

The Dragon has three heads Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I doubt it`s him because he`s already dead so he won`t be doing much damage in TWoWOh I Mis read, I was thinking SOS not winds when I wrote that post, due to himBeing cut from most of S2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealbando Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Is Shireen even on the show yet?No. She will appear in season 3 so I don`t think it`s her. Why add her now only to cut her out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 It cannot be a character that already had plenty of shit to do in books 3...5 (or one of them). So no Davos, no Hound, no Barristan, no Theon. Rather not Osha, either, that would make little sense (if she's not around to take care of Rickon, then what's the point of introducing her character at all?).I'm with those who said Lancel. Who wouldn't want to write him off the show as soon as possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywolf2375 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 1) can we move this to the show forums2) could be a number of people - given what we know is probably 1/2 the story there is a very strong chance whomever they would want to kill off could have whatever important part they play passed on to someone else. Some things in the books that seemed critical to have Person A do it/pass on the info were changed in the TV show and worked fine.Given what happened with Theon, that would be a good bet but there are a ton of options available.

therustman Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 It's the Mago comment I'm sure - however this really isnt such a big deal for the TV show as they can just have a new character who can reference that he was with Drogo - there's no way they would have paid the actor a retainer anyway as this could be in another 4/5 seasons and he might not be available and no one would really remember anyway.

I possibly agree on Lancel, but not on Bronn, it seems to me that he`s liked by the fans.That was my first thought too. The whole Reek thing would be kind of awkward to put in the show,he really didn't do anyhting too vital in ADWD, and theres also a fair chance that he could be important in TWOW.Also, Theon's "capture" in the show was terriible, they might have just been planning for him to get killed by his own men then just changed it at the last minute.

This character is apparently alive after season 2 when the writers would rather have had him/her killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
