Game of Thrones - *SPOILER ALERT*

[Howay 12496]

That was someones real theory? I thought you were just taking the piss

 

Aye it's mentioned somewhere in one of the books that his real name is Walder but I assume they've changed it to avoid the confusion with Walder Frey. Same as they did changing Asha's name to Yara to avoid similarities to with Arya.

Oh aye I get you now.

Aye sadly it was actually two peoples theory, one bloke was even researching Celtic myths and comparing them to Lyanna riding in on a white horse to try and link why Hodor would warg into a horse . He seemed to be basing his theory off the bloke playing the speaking Wyllis on the show having a scar on his head (which would mean he could speak properly after he was kicked in the head by a horse) I don't remember seeing a scar on the blokes head mind and don't care enough to check.

I've watched it all a couple of times at least and read all the books at least once each. But I never had much problem keeping who was who clear in my head. Found it much less difficult than Lord Of The Rings where all the names sounded the same and most of them looked the same. I suppose it's down to how much I've loved it right from the start. I have a good memory for things I'm interested in. That's why I'm a shit accountant.

 

I'm not that into it. Think it's canny, but as others have said, without reading any of the books or watching them more than once each I only take in the major characters names and plot points.

 

I'll gladly geek out over a show I love though, so it's not a criticism. I enjoyed reading up on all the colour scheme stuff from Breaking Bad, the range of dream interpretations for The Sopranos or going back to watch/read The Corner and Homicide after The Wire.

Jesus christ. There's loads of theories I've read up on and the people who have put them out there are really serious and do a lot of research into them. I couldn't be arsed with that but most of them are quite well thought out and pretty sensible. But that is absolutely ridiculous and someone who has far too much time on their hands.

How dare you!! I do those in when i should be working

 

You, Fish and co seem to have this in your head though, I can't even work out the picture...

Most important characters are;

 

Mopey Snow - Ned Stark's "bastard". Up at the Zombie Barrier. Just been striped up and brought back.

Dragon Tits - Rightful heir to the Knifey Chair. Way off in the east learning how to become a queen. Just escaped on the back of a dragon and is now back in the hands of the Horsey Dudes.

Tyrion BANTister - Son of the bloke whose family is way too fucked up. Way off in the east teaching Dragon Tits how to become a queen. Just became BFF with the Dragon Tits locked up dragons.

 

Mopey Snow is connected to;

Arya Stark - the lass who's becoming Daredevil

Sansa Stark - the lass who's becoming Francis Underwood

Bran Stark - the lad who's becoming Derren Brown.

 

Dragon Tits is connected to;

Basically a bunch of seedy blokes who want to get a hold of her Dragon Tits.

And Tyrion

who probably would if he could.

 

Tyrion is connected to;

Varys, the sneaky bloke with no balls

Cersei Lannister - shagged her brother and a bunch of other people to try and get her way, recently walked through the streets all nekkid and shit.

Jamie Lannister - shagged his sister, was once dead hard, now not so much.

 

Every family that we've spent any time with and who are in the North that isn't the Starks? Arseholes.

Everybody that isn't Dragon Tits or her coterie and is in the East? Arseholes

Everybody in the South that isn't Bronn or Jamie Lannister? Arseholes

Everybody in Pentos with the blind girl, including the blind girl? Arseholes.

 

 

Davos Seahouses - sensible bloke with Mopey Snow

Melisandre - Nivea's poster woman with Mopey Snow

 

Missandei - that lass off Hollyoaks with Dragon Tits

Grey Worm - the bloke that would love to bonk that lass of Hollyoaks, but he's got no junk.

 

 

Hope that helps.

Aye I watched the first episode of Breaking Bad the other week when I couldn't sleep and remembered you were into all of the colour stuff. I much prefer GOT. There's only really this and Twin Peaks I've ever looked at in any sort of detail. Breaking Bad, The Sopranos and The Wire are definitely some of my favourite shows though.

Close but Arya is in Bravos you tit.

Aye it's utter nonsense, mental that people can be arsed spending that much time actually researching things to make their assumption seem plausible.

Oh aye, mind is elsewhere, sozzages.

[The Fish 10779]

Well, that latest episode... nothing really happened did it?

 

Spoilered in case you've not seen it yet.

 

Jon executed his killers and quit, but nowt else

Arya continued her training and became Daredevil for a bit, but now else

Rickon showed up, but did nowt else

Bran gets closer to confirming the widely accepted R+L=J theory, but didn't actually do it

Sam is still on his way to White Harbour, but did nowt else

Tyrion found out the conspiracy is big, but did nowt else.

 

[Christmas Tree 4711]

While a bit complex, I've quite enjoyed seasons upto now, but this one seems to be trying to cram too much into every episode.

 

But less flitting about and a bit more depth of story if you please.

Fucking hell, I agree with CT.

 

They can get away with ten different plot lines if nowt much happens like in this episode but when something important does occur they should limit it to two or three threads so they can do it properly.

[Howay 12496]

Aye I think that's the difficulty they've had the whole time but I agree it's only really started to feel like they're getting bogged down now, each story line is proceeding at a snails pace because it's getting 5 minutes or so per episode.

 

Hopefully they manage it a bit better going forward but with this many characters it's really hard, it was fine in prior seasons since they all were in groups but now they're all so spread out.

Happy to answer any questions you've got.

I have a feeling they've slowed things down in some sort of attempt to not get too far ahead of the books. So far in this season there's very little happened (Jon's resurection, Ramsey killing Roose) that's really moved beyond where the books are up to.

Although, I wouldn't be surprised if more was made of the divergence between the books and the show. The audiences won't hang around if it tails off like Lost/Heroes did.

The books at least have an endgame mapped out. I think they plan on getting to roughly the same place in the show just with a few changes with the supporting cast along the way. The problem with Heroes and (as I understand it since I never watched it) Lost was that they never really seemed to have a plan where it was going from the start.

We were wondering if Mindy is a Faceless Man.

[Gemmill 44498]

I'll see you both in 40 posts' time for the non-conclusion to these wonderings.

[David Kelly 1224]

I thought she was just an annoying cunt.

That's harsh, he's just trying to be funny while aching to join in on our Game of Thrones fun.

[Dr Gloom 21847]

I have to say I've found this season the most underwhelming to date. It is moving along at a snails pace. The odd bit of gratuitous violence helps but we seems to have had a drastic drop off in the nipple count
