Elessar78 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Even in the books Rickon had a slim story line. But I wonder if there was more for him, but unlike the rest of the cast he just never improved as an actor. So they killed him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forehead Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I actually think that pending and heart related episodes, Martin may very well finish the books. And pump them up with speaking engagements about how HBO did a nice job, but the true ending is "very different" and you have to buy the books NOW NOW NOW! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i think the fact that they opened the show....season 1 episode 1, literally the first 10 mins, with the White Walkers, most people would believe that there is more to their story line. When its all said and done Walder Frey will go down as the biggest villain in GOT, and he hasn't done a worth of crap since Season 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The placement of those bands to make the veins pop was critical. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wonder if there was more for him, but unlike the rest of the cast he just never improved as an actor. So they killed him off. Yeah, I think one of the cliff-hangers of sorts from the books was the rumor that Rickon was seeking refuge with the Umbers and was being kept safe so that he could come back as the heir of Winterfell (everyone still living under assumption that Bran was dead) ... once the Boltons "got theirs." Whether Rickon has the same destiny in the books is TBD I suppose. Considering all Starks are really alive, Rickon's purpose in general is fairly unimportant. Though I suppose if he had lived in the show, he would probably be given rule of Winterfell over Sansa/Bran/Jon. In fact, now that I think about it, Rickon likely has to die in the books to in order for Jon to be granted Winterfell. I gotta imagine GRRM was working toward a similar plot point as the show on that one, and it was probably one of the important storylines he gave the show direction on.

I think the books are written (manuscripts/outlines/galleys/complete). But he had to contractually embargo them until the show ends. I think the books will end differently. Which is a good thing.

FanboyOf91 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 So the biggest remaining army in the North is one disloyal Lord Glover at Deepwood Motte. Dany better hope Yara is willing to ferry the Seconds Sons to Westeros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I know that has been said before, but for as much as the Unsullied were built up as the greatest fighting force in the world, they die really easily. I wonder how they're going to make this Golden Company impressive. The guy said it was 20,000 men. Considering the scale of battles in this show, that doesn't seem like a lot, especially when the other side has dragons who can roast lines of them by the hundreds or thousands. And they don't even have elephants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry.Randolphe Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Jon and Daario are going to fight over Dany when he arrives to save the day at Kings Landing....should be an interesting conversation.

People are quick to write it off as the product of young and inexperienced military commanders, but that isn't the case. The Queen of Dragons had been essentially at war for years by the time her army met the dead. The Nights watch trained endlessly and specialized in defensive battles. These were clearly two seasoned military groups, and they had both knowledge of the enemy and time to prepare. Why then did they organize their armies in such a way it appeared as if the goal was for them to be slaughtered quickly? Because that is exactly what it was. The goal of that episode was to move the plot along. Its unfortunate that the show couldn't come up with the funds for an additional episode or two for their ultimate enemy and the military forces they'd built up for years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can our poor peasant brains never ponder why GRRM used a semicolon instead of a comma in that certain passage in Book 3. It practically changed the trajectory of the whole series. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
