EPTThat new kid was surely massive, but not very convincing and felt sort of limited in his movement. I think that Season 1 Mountain would have been a way better fighter, judging from his performance at the tourney vs. The Hound.

But yeah Pedro nailed it and was imo the highlight of this season :D the fight was meh nonetheless | ||

There are little things like Oberyn mentioning he was in Casterly Rock with his father instead of his mother (but even this is just a retarded change), but there are also bigger things like ADDING extra scenes that are just plain stupid (bran, asha) instead of developing other storylines further (not to mention the unnecessary boob scenes). There is also no real reason why stannis is totally different, and other characters as well. Except you want to imply that they have to dumb things down cause the tv show has to appeal to a wider audience (= a more stupid one), but then again, this is obviously the reason... You really shouldn't watch the show if you want an exact replica. I'm very pleased that they are changing things up in unique ways, and I thought the littlefinger scene was excellent in showing that he had Sansa essentially as his loyal little minion without wasting any time at all going into MASSIVE detail about it. TV Needs to be entertaining, this doesn't mean your audience is dumb it means they don't need 100 pages or minutes of useless dialog explaining about characters that they will NEVER see again (Meaning, all the lords of the vale!). | ||

That could fit, but damn, seems like a lot to condense to match the book's ending... I think we will see all of it. My bet is that Lady Stoneheart is the cliffhanger of this season. | ||

I guess they could shoot in the same area, Dorne is supposed to be a mix of mountains/desert but I guess they could always go with CGI. I hope they skip Dorne entirely and GRRM just goes "Oops my bad none of them actually matter in the grand scheme of things" | ||

And you shouldn't reply if you don't even read the second sentence. I don't care if it is fine for you that they make littlefinger into a retard who is just lucky that he isn't dead yet. This is just completely different from the books and it makes very little sense character wise. Also the reveal of Sansa makes no sense to me either (just like Arya), you would think that it is a bad idea, but hey the show oftentimes changes things without being smart about the bigger picture. I think my main argument is pretty spot on, as soon as they change things from the books they oftentimes don't really care about the big picture and only care for the "nice moment", well yeah... meh Obviously that is a problem for tv shows in general, but do i have to like it cause of that? | ||

The Sansa/Littlefinger plot is pretty much done. The Theon plot is also done. The Daenerys plot is probably largely done for this season? Maybe some Missandei/Grey worm shenanigans to please the viewers. Arya and the hound, who knows, their quest for the vale is done but now the hound needs to die somewhere. Probably 1 or 2 more scenes? And that would leave the wall, Tyrion's escape, and Brienne as the plots that get focused on in these last 2 episodes. | ||

Everything else is easier to fit. Tyrion's escape would need to be dragged on to get to the last episode, but I don't see that happening in ep. 9. Lady Stoneheart as this season's cliffhanger makes sense. Can't remember what happen with Brienne, nothing major I think ? Anyway, can't wait ! | ||

Brienne meets lady stoneheart at some point, I think that may be how they introduce her this season. In the books, lady stoneheart first hangs 2 random Freys, they might choose to go with that too. | ||

In an interview she says that se bites someones ear, and i hoped it to happen in e8, but it dindt, so mostly gona happend at e10, i have a insteresting prediction, Arya/Hound and Brienne/Pod gona find in some random tabern, without noticing, fight erupts the hound gets even worse and they separate i think, Brienne encounter LSH, and Arya goes in a ship to Braavos. Brienne meeting LSH would be te most probably thing to happend, and showing her hanging Brienne like the final scene would be fantastic if most. | ||
