Found the dedicated thread. Yey. Can now talk about it without feeling the guilt of spoiling it for others. It's not just because some of his actions have been changed, but it seems like they've completely changed his character. Aye, they have a limited budget to work with and they have to fit it all into 10 hours of TV, but one of the most favoured and supported characters from the books has been completely changed. If you've read the books, it should be staring you in the face how much they've changed him for the worse. True, like both of us have said, they have a limited budget to work with and they have to fit it all into 10 hours so they can't have every character and every plot line from the books in the show. But some parts in the show were unnecessarily there, and I thought were just there for shock value, such as the burning of Shireen and the parts in Dorne, both of which were, imho, badly written. If it's to water down the parts in Dorne and the North in the 4th and 5th books then fair enough, but Stannis' scenes in the North were written poorly. Think about it, one of the greatest commanders in Westeros at the time is killed by a ugly bastard who wields his sword like a butcher's knife and little military credibility, because of the world's most convenient plot device of "20 good men". I don't mind if Stannis does lose the battle in Winds of Winter, but they could have demonstrated it with blatant character assassination. And I think those two are the most likely as well, if the R+L=J theory is indeed true. Which it most likely is. George RR Martin has told the writers how all of it ends, in case he dies before he finishes them. So they'll have an idea, as well as the creator to consult with, with how it all ends. The Battle in the North between Stannis and the Boltons will happen very early on in The Winds of Winter, but it hasn't happened yet at the end of A Dance With Dragons. Indeed, we knew from a chapter GRRM himself published on his own web page over a year ago that Theon gets taken to Stannis' army as a captive by a Lord of House Umber's men, and there gets interrogated by Stannis himself. Nothing in the pre-released chapter is inconsistent with Stannis eventually getting his arse kicked by the Boltons, or even with the contents of the so-called "Pink Letter" (which is a letter from Ramsay Bolton sent to Jon Snow which claims that Stannis was defeated and killed in a battle with the Boltons and their allies that lasted seven days). Rather, the fact that Stannis is dead in the HBO series is merely the first of many spoilers that D&D are aiming at GRRM and the books; in essence, they're probably already covering parts of TWoW, even though it hasn't been finished yet. But it's incredibly unlikely Stannis will lose, seeing what his position is, and what is happening in Winterfell at this point.

Starting to rewatch Game of Thrones for the new season, forgot what happened. Might skip season 5 though, I thought it was naff. Massive shame they're diverting away from the books. And I'm still a bit pissed at the raping of Stannis' character.

Saw Deadpool. Funny. Shame I didn't understand some of the in jokes; the nerds in the theatre did. Also went to see The Force Awakens again because, Star Wars.

Cheers. And yeah I've found that awful Cam version as well, found it in SALTS. Turned it off as soon as I saw the awful picture quality and the Spanish title crawl.

Will we not just have one game in hand? The Man City game? Which we'll get nothing from anyway?

Anyone know the best place where I can watch the new Star Wars? I've looked on Genesis and everytime I click on it the message "no stream available" appears.

Stoke A Bournemouth H Leicester A mackems H Predictions anyone?

YESSSSSSSSS GERRRRIN COME ON

Stoke are hit and miss but I expect a loss. Bournemouth is, I despise using this term because we must with all of our games, a "must win". Then it's the mackems iirc? Dreading it. Oh and it's 5.

I believe he ment their form as in the fact their unbeaten form under Hiddink.

We lost away to Chelsea 5-0 under Bobby. So I for one look forward to our impending Champions League run. Join me in Madrid.

Colback for Wijnaldum

Sick of this club me like.

What's the record Premier League win?

It's one of the so called "bigger clubs" so we'll turn up. Score draw.
