Game of Thrones II

[Munky]

On a bizarre tangent I'm wondering if Arya's training is all part of a contract the faceless men have taken on one of the people on her list.

Say she kills Cercei and Jaqen shows up, takes off his face to reveal Sirio.

Essentially meaning she was trained from the beginning.

 

[Parra]

She has ballsed up the training in the tv series.Has picked up some skills though.

 

[Chook]

That can't happen because it's impossible for the Waif to be wearing Arya's face if Arya has never died.

Incorrect. Arya saw her own face on a dead 'no one' after she killed Payne without permission. Jugen drank a poison vile and dropped dead and Arya pulled face after face off him to reveal her own face.

Chook.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

It was Meryn Trant that she killed. I’m not sure if there will be any face swapping but I guess we’ll see how predictable it is.

Well then I'm tripping out...

 

[Shorty]

If it wasn't for the internet I probably wouldn't have even known about that theory. A bit of a shame though, reading or watching the theory confirmed without having any prior knowledge would've been quite a plot twist

You wouldn't have known, have you read the books?

You pretty much speculate that Jon's parentage is L+R in the first half of the book.

 

[Timbo]

I had no idea what the L+R thing was until my girlfriend (who has read the books) told me about it. No way would I have put that together without her help, but now that I get it I can't understand how it could possibly be anything else.

I haven't read all the books, but R+L=J didn't even cross my mind when reading the first book.

In hindsight it seems obvious, but not as I read it

 

[Valheru]

The thing I don't understand about the R+L=J theory is that even in the likely event it is true, it still doesn't give him the most convincing claim to the throne if we accept that the Targaryens are the rightful monarchs as opposed to the Baratheons, well not according to the books anyways.

Those who have read the books will know what I am getting at as the TV show is missing a key character being backed by key players. With the books being behind the TV show now, perhaps Martin's intent is for said character to turn out to be inconsequential in the overall story?

 

[gUt]

I expect that character to be killed in the books and soon

I watched the show first and read all the books between season 4 and 5, and had no f**king idea until i read the books and immediately had a "Wow! Holy shit, that HAS to be true" moment

 

[roostersrule2]

Wait how will people know that R+L=J is really true?

Say Bran discovers it in a flashback how does that really help anyone other then Bran knowing and the theory being proved right?

 

[saint.nick]

The character you are talking about is theorised to be a bastard like Jon Snow. If Rhaegar and Lyanna married then Jon would have a legitimate claim

 

[DiegoNT]

Another brotherhood mention.
Blackfish mentioned Jamies vowel to return the stark girls.
Sneak preview showed Brienne in the riverlands and Pod being taken!
Signs are pointing to someone's return

 

[Danish]

This sums up that episode, and my feelings about most of this season so far

Getting pretty tired of all these "building" episodes

And everyone is getting pretty tired of your comments that smack of impatience, because that gif basically sums you up, an impatient 10 year old kid who wants everything now. If the season went by your preferred pace, there'd be almost nothing left in the final 3 episodes.

 

[butchmcdick]

Boo yeah mother f**kers !

Clegane bowl is a go !

Lots of theories that that isn't arya

Lady marmont has some f**k minerals

I'd love to hear her, Bron and the old chick from the avengers sit around and put shit on people all day

Can you elaborate on that theory? But I must say that I was disappointed in Arya for having her guard down like that.

 

[Apey]

The only thing worse than the 'too slow' complaints are the book fans (particularly on the ASOIAF forums/reddit) who complain about characters on the show teleporting around. Nobody wants to watch characters ride across grassy plains on horseback or sail across the sea for an hour. Go read the books again if you want that.
