Westeros Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Word’s out that an actor has been cast in a role that is, frankly, something of a spoiler… so see below the cut for the relevant informationread on >>>Visit the Site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carcetti Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'm excited about seeing the 3ec, but on the other hand, if this means that Bran will have an or some episodes in the cave, there will be no more material left for him next season :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good idea actually, the show could use a bit more on Robert's Rebellion, The Last Hero, etc . I just had the strange idea they would end next season with Coldhands saving them from a load of wights, but I guess that would be too slow of a season.

Arkash Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Bran's the perfect character to explore backstory and past events ! And from now on, he has a lot of free time to do so ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIrDuncan the Tall Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Are they cutting Coldhands out of the show. I hope they touch on Jim while reading I always found the character interesting. Though I hope they don't combine the two because it will ruin the affect in the cave how old he really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papirico52 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I think they will meet Colhands when he saves them from the whities or they could just cut hi from the series because it could be "too magical". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elenhay Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I definitely think we're gonna get TWOW material in the show before the book comes out. Not sure if that's good or bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryk Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Well the fact that this character has been cast is awesome enough by itself to give me chills. That the actor looks perfect for the part is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely one good explanation as to why cast him that early. I really, really hope the show won't include TWoW material before the latter's release.

The Anti-Targ Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Well I never expected the series to catch up to the books by the end of S4. I thought GRRM would have at least until the start of S6 to get tWoW out. The irresistable force (TV show) is fast approaching a collision with the immovable object (books) and it does not bode well for the books. Even if GRRM gets tWoW out ahead of S5 it gives him no time (working on GRRM time) to get DoS done before the series runs through tWoW for all characters. Heck I hope there's at least a whole season gap between Robb dying and Jon "dying". Though that happens after the story arcs of aFfC and aDwD converge so I imagine it's being saved for S5. I expect we'll have news of Davos' faux death in S4 though so that S5 can reveal the deception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They speed up some storylines (like Theon and now Bran), but I don't think this affects other characters, especially pivotal ones like Jon. Thinking of S4, there's so many deaths incoming for the audience to withstand (Joffrey, Oberyn, Gregor, Tywin, Ygritte, Lysa, Shae and Balon maybe), that literally there's no room for more. And after all, it's a show. It's more likely for S5 to end with Jon's death than this to be revealed earlier. Add to this that we will probably see material that is nowhere in the books. Concerning Davos, imo his faux death will be part of S5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numenorian Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Well it seems to me that Davos is played so great by the actor that they will include some part of his DWD arc in S4. There are a lot of things to happen elsewhere, but since we won't get any King/Queenmoot in the upcoming season i think there will be place for his arc. But then S05 would definitely need to go into WoW material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then S05 would definitely need to go into WoW material. We have a pretty good idea where Stannis storyline will end in S4 though, so they are clearly going to have to make up some stuff for Stannis before that point. If they make up stuff for Stannis in S4, it seems logical that Davos will be with him at the time, so they take care of all their characters in that arc. there's at least a whole season gap between Robb dying and Jon "dying". Though that happens after the story arcs of aFfC and aDwD converge so I imagine it's being saved for S5. I expect we'll have news of Davos' faux death in S4 though so that S5 can reveal the deception. GRRM could get away with that in the books but the show doesn't do flashbacks, so the timeline can't jump up and down. There is no possibility that Jon will "die" in S4. Even S5 isn't definite.

WiDMNDBAMMD Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Cool. My thought is: He'll appear in Bran's dreams before they meet, I mean if you want to even give an explanation for why the 3 eyed raven can reveal himself in his human form make it something to do with the fact that Bran is North of the Wall.

Jace Martell Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I think they're going to extend Brans dream training and use it to show more past events, so some of the back story can be explained. I think the same too, since Bran doesn´t have any chapter on aFfC they are going to do his scenes right now and extend is traning and the parts here he explores the caves. But the bad thing is, will they put Coldhands in the story or will they remove it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and the elk add to the mystery of beyond the wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go joff go Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Well a part of me wonders if the intent IS to get Brans stuff done this season and give him next season off, which IMO would make a bit of sense. Brans arc is one of the few that isn't really tied to a certain order of events happening so it doesn't hurt anything to have him disappear for a season. I especially feel this way after seeing people post the arcs for AFFC and ADWD. If they can wrap up Bran and Brienne stuff this season it would open up some time for other storylines.

"Disappearing" a character from a book seems to be easier than doing the same for a TV show, imo. Will make no sense for the audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
