• Game of Thrones version IV: Preface your spoilers with BOOK or SHOW
    5,969 replies, posted
My friend posted this on facebook, it's so fucking true, it makes me mad as The Red Viper is one of my favorite characters in the book series. You know what my problem with Oberyn Martell is? "Who is that again?" The Red Viper "Who?" You know, the Dornish prince "No I don't who is he?" The guy who hates the Lannisters, you know, the one who wants to kill the mountain because of what he did to Oberyn's family during the rebellion "Hm, not ringing any bells" GOD DAMMIT THE BROWN GUY WHO FUCKS MEN "Oh yeah him"
Names in general are a bit of a bother in GoT if you haven´t read the books. I can probably only recall ten, maybe a dozen if I think hard enough. For most shows this isn't a problem, but with a cast this big, it's probably not even half of the recurring cast members.
[QUOTE=Funktastic Dog;44790341]The Dreadfort! Do you guys not watch the title sequence with the big fucking castle with the Bolton symbol on it that says "Dreadfort"? This is literally the purpose of the title sequence, to tell you the names of locations without having to say "WELL WE ARE IN THE DREADFORT NOW".[/QUOTE] well to be fair the show shows winterfell and the wall every single time despite nothing actually taking place there
The next few episodes are going to be good. based on what happens in the books

I remember the first time I watched the series through about a couple years back, I was so lost at times until I gave it another watch.
[QUOTE=Oldaveragejoe;44790590]The next few episodes are going to be good. based on what happens in the books[/QUOTE] My prediction of the next few episodes: Five minute scenes of people talking from all over the Westeros and Daenerys doing her queen stuff, maybe a fight or two and tits. Then in the end of the episode there's a semi-long cliffhanger based on the good things that happen in the books, just as you said. Repeat.
[QUOTE=darkrei9n;44790364]We weren't aware we were expected to study in order to enjoy a show, sorry.[/QUOTE] You have to put in a little effort though, for a serious program like this. The whole reason reality tv was invented was for the purpose of mindlessly watching a show.
[QUOTE=Rofl_copter;44790380]Ramsey looks like an evil frodo[/QUOTE] Honestly Ramsay in Season 3 basically looked like Sam Gamgee to me [img]http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140318141118/gameofthrones/images/b/bd/Boy.jpg[/img] Only with dark hair, and not as fat
Holy shit that end scene was amazing
[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFROZkA-EWg[/url] Latest EP spoilers. My god this scene is so good
[QUOTE=Tacooo;44789836]Oh boy. After watching the trial and the trailer for 4x07 you can tell what's going to happen [SHOW- 4x06/07] [sp] Mountain and the Viper = Mountain vs Obeyrn, ohhhhh im fucking HYPED [/sp][/QUOTE] no 4x07 is called "Mockingbird" 4x08 is called "The Mountain and the Viper"
GRRM better shit out that next book soon, I'm starting to get anxious with the television show catching up. There's only two books left, and really it's just a book and a half of material because the next two happen at the same time in different regions.

At least I hope so.
i really don't know what they were thinking with the (s04e06) [sp] attempted rescue [/sp] scene it would've been better if they just cut the show short and left that part out tbh, it was so horrendous
i haven't read the books but i have paid entirely too much attention to dialogue, so here is what i assume will happen soon [Speculation spoilers?][sp]tywin can't send jaime to the trial by combat, obviously, because jaime's a kingsguard and it probably wouldn't go over too well. plus he just promised he'd continue the line of lannister, although for all we know that's totally out the window now. i imagine he'll let cersei pick since she's joffrey's mom. i can only assume she picks the mountain since he was in the preview for 4x07 and also he's apparently never been beaten. i assume oberyn volunteers for tyrion because he really wants to beat the fuck out of the mountain. not sure how he'll manage that if he's also a judge, but oh well. regardless of whether or not oberyn wins (i'm not sure he will, as much as i want him to) tyrion needs to get the hell out of the city. if he walks a free man then the entire city will probably want him dead since he basically just said he wished he could poison everyone. plus cersei would probably send assassins or something. hopefully jaime helps get him out, but i doubt it. meanwhile dany continues to make dumb decisions in mereen and a lot of enemies as well. i assume that will continue.[/sp]

[sp]You've hit the nail just about on the head with it all.[/sp]
[ASOS] [sp]Have to say I'll be really sad to see the Red Viper gone as his actor is playing him perfectly.[/sp]
I'm fairly sure the show will catch up to the books eventually. Winds of Winter will come out, but there is no way A Dream of Spring can be ready before the show catches up. I'm curious what will they do, go into past and do a prequel? Or perhaps continue with the show but do it's own story (that would still follow Martin's story to an extent).
Wow Shae is (S04E06)[sp]a fucking asshole. I thought she loved him? Is she that stupid or just plain evil? [/sp]
[QUOTE=Robber;44792046]Wow Shae is (S04E06)[sp]a fucking asshole. I thought she loved him? Is she that stupid or just plain evil? [/sp][/QUOTE] I'll go with [sp]plain stupid, like too stupid.[/sp]
I think [S04E06][sp]Cersei approached Shae with threats and that added up with her disappointment with Tyrion caused what we saw. I don't think she would just plainly lie like that solely on her will.[/sp] Also [sp]Where the fuck is Bronn? Did he betray Tyrion? Because he assured him that he saw Shae board the ship. And now he hasn't been seen in the latest episode.[/sp]
[QUOTE=iNothing;44792323]I'll go with [sp]plain stupid, like too stupid.[/sp][/QUOTE] Let's see, [sp]ignores all of Tyrion's warnings that living at King's Landing is a dangerous risk, to the point that she makes a joke out of it? Check. Get's mad jealous at Tyrion's marriage to Sansa even though he's made it clear that he never wanted it? Check. Get's real pissy when Tyrion makes a last-ditch effort to force her out of King's Landing for her own safety? Check. Takes revenge by condemning Tyrion in his trial? Check check checkitty check. Yep, Shae's a dumb bitch.[/sp]
I just remembered how much will happen in the next few episodes, like multiple season finale's [Book spoilers obviously] [sp] Coldhands - (still a possibility). Mountain vs Red Viper. Lysa "Fall". Attack on the wall. Tywin Lannister in the end did not shit gold. Jon becoming commander? Maester Aegon's "Kill the boy inside you" Speech?[/sp] I may be going ahead of myself here? I've read all the books in really rapid succession, don't even know what part is in which book.

Tywin lannister would be near the end of 4x10. Jon becoming commander will be THE end of 4x10, like the final scene. Kill the boy inside you will be next season.[/sp] This is what my money is on. Betting ten bucks on this.
[BOOK] @above [sp]Will they do Stoneheart?[/sp]

[QUOTE=The Jack;44790095]If winter in westeros is so fucking bad, why doesn't everyone just move south/east?[/QUOTE] yes yes and let The Others take over the North and make taking over Westeros even easier. add to the fact that you're telling at least a hundred thousand people to give up their homes to go live with other people they deem "soft", "weak" and generally think of all southerners as "prancys" and essosi people as a queer people. excellent thinking what could possibly go wrong.
[QUOTE=Buck.;44792922][sp]I see they are going to merge the 2 attacks on castle black together? As far as I remember Ygritte attacked earlier than Mance?[/sp][/QUOTE] [Book] [sp]According to the director there will be 3 battles happening in the same episode, so attack on Castle Black, attack on the Wall and I'm guessing Stannis attacking Mance's camp.[/sp]

I've read all the books in really rapid succession, don't even know what part is in which book.[/QUOTE] Yeah, i had the same thought after watching todays episode. Things that i think will be in this season are: [Heavy AFFC and ADWD book spoilers!] [sp] "Only cat" (Episode 7) The mountain vs the viper (Episode 8) The battle at Castle black and Stannis the mannis coming to the rescue (Episode 9) Shae strangled and Tywin not shitting gold (Episode 10) I really think, and hope, that we will se Lady Stoneheart as the last scene for the last episode. It would be awesome! But if so, Brienne and Pod should start seeing hanged Freys along the road soon. I think that Drogon killing the sheephearders kid will be at episode 10, and the dragons imprisonment will be sometime during next season. I also think that Jon becoming commander will be next season, or maybe pushed into episode 10. [/sp] I'm so hyped for seeing more of the [ADWD spoilers][sp]greyjoys. Euron, Victarion and Aeron are really interesting characters and the Kingsmoot could be really cool![/sp] tl:dr, theese coming episodes could very well be among the best episodes ever!
