By the way, did anyone else get ridiculously annoyed that Daenerys' plot was basically the same exact thing copied twice? She limps into Qarth, tries to make shit happen, fails, her dragon burns everything, she leaves. She goes into Meereen, tries to make shit happen, fails, her dragon burns everything, she leaves. Seriously? It took GRRM 12 years to come up with that plot? | ||

My concern is that if he is 14 by the time we get to the events of AFFC then he would be too old for Ser Pounce and Lady Whiskers  That last comment about Ser Pounce and Lady Whiskers reminded me the genius of GRRM. Sometimes we get so caught up in the story that we miss just how deep every single character is. Even characters that have almost zero screen time, or chapters written on them. | ||

Book 1's was pretty darned obvious with the dragons, but Book 2? In the books it's Bran leaving Winterfell, but since we know he's alive in there it's certainly not as dramatic as it could be, and thus I don't know if it will remain as the season closer. Will it be "Whitebeard"? Will it still be Bran? Theon? Will it be something from the opening of the third book? Like Davos washing up on a rock? Imo it still will be bran leaving winterfell combined with Theon getting overrun. A friend of mine made the argument that television audiences might not be as interested in Selmy appearing for that to be enough of a closing scene. The south is pretty much done with s09. They didn't focus on anything else so I doubt KL will have more then 5 minutes time (if any) so: stuff that's happening that might become cliffhangers. and by that I mean things that will make the viewers go "Oooh what will happen next". An army appears to siege Theon. (I don't think they will take it in this season) Daenarys burning down the tower of the undying or maybe just Ta-daa decides to finally go there, I don't know? Build-up/tension. (btw. I can't wait to see how they depict the visions) Jon duel Qhorin and maybe it will stop just before he gets to meet Mance. Arya-Gendry-Hotpie gets captured by bandits (TBWB) I was disapointed of they did acted out Sansas final meeting with the hound. In short the hound just wasn't crazy enough. I wanted his outburst-moodchanges. (where was the sobbing!!!) | ||

Considering the season finale is called "Three Blasts" we probably have a pretty good idea what the cliffhanger will be: the Others attacking the Fist of the First Men. | ||

Her battle against the slavers is everything about her. People just want her to be in Westeros fucking shit up already, as if they know the story Martin is trying to tell better than he does. Have these people ever considered that maybe what she's doing in the east is just as important as what she will do when she reaches the Seven Kingdoms? | ||

The last episode isn't called "Three Blasts," I don't believe. There is a piece of music in it named "Three Blasts." | ||

"As Theon stirs his men to action, Luwin offers some final advice. Brienne silences Jaime; Arya receives a gift from Jaqen; Dany goes to a strange place; and Jon proves himself to Qhorin" I think's it's pretty clear what'll happen  | ||

As opposed to now, where she's going to run into Khal Jhaqo solo and be lucky if she gets sold into slavery? What a crock of shit. She's right back to square one. Having a rag tag plague ravaged army is no different than a rag tag half-starved Khalasar. Wow, Dany doesn't like slavers. Big surprise. Epic amounts of development for her there. She sleeps with another random Asiatic barbarian dude. Oh, haven't seen that one before! She marries some guy for political reasons. Oh, that's new for her too! She cares about her people. She's the mother of mothers blah blah. How anyone could possibly think Dany's done jack shit since her dragons were born is beyond me. | ||

It's not pointless, it's actually quite important. The problem lies in the fact that it's too damn long, and she's STILL in slaver's bay when she should be going to the seven kingdoms or asshai. | ||

In fact, you could argue they already did when Jaime killed his cousin. I could see them having Brienne take his hand... him realizing his mortality and less than perfection... and Brienne falling for him after he comes down to Earth. | ||
