iheartseverus Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Oh, good. Soooo glad to see that Ros is back. :bs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Giver Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 So Arya isn't in the first episode? That's what it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfellian Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Littlefinger offers Sansa a way out??? :shocked: Does this mean that Dontos is out? I was really hoping the writers didn't go on a field day with the original material as they did last season. This doesn't look promising.Really looking forward to the scene where Tyrion asks for his reward. I can't wait for some Peter Dinklage - Charles Dance dynamic.Looks like the best for the first episode will take place at KG and with Dany. I don't care much for show Jon.

The Dragon has three heads Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Dontos is GONEThe scenes he were in were...average, at best. Something disnt work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWhiteRabbit Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Ya Tyrion's scenes will be the best, but I'm a little disappointed about no Arya in the premier. Just like last season! Why do they keep doing this to my favorite character??? All I have to say is next season they better stay true to the book and actually have her kill someone when she's at the inn with the hound.As for Dontos I'm indifferent. On one hand there's already so many characters that nonreaders have to keep up with so I get what they're doing. But on the other hand having Littlefinger so openly state he'll help Sansa goes against LF's very nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boojam Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Guess we will have to see the first episode to find out explicitly why it is called Valar Dohaeris (even tho that is an implicit connection to the title of last episode of last season).New things:What have they pulled forward or made up for Gemma Whelen since the other main Greyjoys have not been cast.Osha , hmmm... from the previews looks as it she will split sometime after they meet up with the Reeds.Tho not right away.Then are they going to follow her and Rickon ?That's a story George has hinted at , one wonders if he has told D&D where it goes?The Theon story , I am guessing we will see what GRRM only tells us in retrospect.

boojam Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Dontos is GONEThe scenes he were in were...average, at best. Something disnt work.On the DVD's D&D don't make mention about compacting the story, Dontos is a disposable loop for a teleplay, it must have been made on the fly as they shot season 2. Most of Tony Way's scenes may have wound up on the cutting room floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAge93 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Just because a character isn't mentioned in the synopsis doesn't mean they won't be in the episode. Remember the 23 pictures released? They were titled with the episode number they are from. A Bran photo was titled as Episode 1. Bran's not mentioned in the synopsis. And we had the pictures of the Brotherhood Without Banners from episode 1. So I don't think we should jump on the overreacting train just yet.

The Giver Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Oh, but I like overreacting. :DThat's right, I did forget about the photographs which had the episode numbers on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertrude Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I think they could still have Dontos involved if they wanted. They did still have him around for Blackwater in the background.It could be that Littlefinger talks to Sansa and tells her Dontos will be their go-between. The only thing that is changed is that Sansa knows up front that they are working together and we don't wonder why she trusts this drunken fool because we don't have the benefit of her inner thoughts.That said, I won't be upset if he's just cut entirely.

Capt. Zemblanity Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I wish Locke was shown on a 'zorse' in the photo stills. It looks like he is just on a white horse. I hope they don't screw up the Bloody Mummers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Snow Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Still worries me that they've not confirmed David Bradley's back as Lord Walder Frey :frown5: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YTDN Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Still worries me that they've not confirmed David Bradley's back as Lord Walder Frey :frown5:He's been confirmed as being seen on set when they shot the RW. The reason he's not in the press release is because he's classified as a Guest Star, since he will only be appearing in one or two episodes. Over at WiC someone explained the difference between cast members and guest stars quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibbison from Ibben Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Does anyone think that Dontos' role as a go-between will be taken over by Ros? She needs something to do, and her new tie to Varys could make that interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
