    Considering fAegon is not in the show, what is their reasoning?

    Just talking with some friends about this, and I really had no answer:

    Has the whole "dragon has three heads" thing ever been mentioned on the show up to this point?

    i wonder who that was standing in the building, listening to Varys and Tyrion's conversation, right before people started running by because of the fire at the shipyard? all they showed was a close of of the back of his neck/hairline

    But what about the line where he's telling Tyrion about his plan to find a righteous ruler of westeros and Tyrion says "good luck finding him." And Varys says something like "who says anything about it being a him."

    I guess it could be to throw everything off but I don't see the point of that whole scene and Tyrion/Dany combo plot being forced by Varys.

    I just assumed it was a member of the Sons of the Harpy, or one of Varys' little birds because he was speaking about them at that moment. Or both.

    Dorne is getting shit on so badly it makes me wonder if when they make their way back to KL the SS will be ceremoniously murdered as sort of a penance from the writers. Jaime killing some would make a lot of sense, as would Bronn. just seems like their end game isn't meant to be consequential which means they can be set up for crazy deaths and it'll appease a lot of people. frankly, with Doran's death now there really was almost no reason for Dorne to make it into the show. they could have killed Myrcella off-camera and shipped her back in a similar scene and you'd have accomplished just as much as you do with that entire waste of film last season.

    then again the writers could have the SS do something meaningful in KL but I just don't see it.

    Only thing that will make it better is when Strong grabs Obara's spear and chunks it as far he can. The spear comes down and skewers Ollie. Tv magic.

    I still want wolfhead Robb to come back to life and rip Walder Frey's head from his body then take a shit down his neck. Then the rest of the north comes storming in and kills every Frey as zombie wolfhead Robb wanders around shitting all over their corpses.

    And Ollie to die.

    Some people think there's going to be a pink letter but with Rickon instead of Arya. Fuck me if Rickon gets Boltoned.

    He could send the letter, but I don't think he actually would have him. They have a massive head start to get far away from anyone loyal to the Boltons. Mountain tribes ain't snitching.

    Umbers are with the Boltons in the show. Entirely plausible they got picked off at Last Hearth or that area

    Yeah, he's coming back this season and the Smalljon is cast too.

    In the show Osha and Rickon went to the Umbers instead of Skagos, so I'm hoping we see those 3 together instead of Rickon/Osha as Ramsey's new pets.

    For real? Even after what they did to the great Jon at the red wedding? I thought they were still holding out as Stark loyalists.

    If the Umbers come back in the show it has to be as part of the "northern conspiracy" or whatever it's called. Was Manderly cast for this season? If not the Umbers could just take his spot as head of the rebellion. BUT the way dorne has gone I wouldn't put anything past the show at this point.

    How bad ass is it going to be in the novels when Rickon and Davos come riding in on shaggy dog and a unicorn respectively and decapitate Roose and Ramsey?

    fair reminder for tomorrow that they somehow scored fucking Max von Sydow for Bloodraven which means no matter how much that entrance to the show failed us(and it failed us super duper hard, it looked like some geezer just leaning in some branches instead of a dude that a tree is growing into/out of) it will be redeemed*
