She s ain important char in the plot she s a POV character She can be used as eye-candy and porn stuff Minor dornish characters are cast, so how could they leave out the main one. I agree that D&D probably had s1 in mind from the get go, that s why there s no need for further auditions. Abouth LSH, Good riddance, the only thing i liked about the RW is that we got rid of Cat.., and they bring her back. And i agree that it s kinda cheesy to have an undead lady stark running around. It's not even that it's too much magic (though it is), i really wish GRRM would have found another way of making the Freys pay, and keep Brienne and the BWB relevant | ||

This one is all about Dorne and how they plan to take the Iron Throne from them self. It involves Oberyn, Robert Strong, Old Town, Dragons, rival houses, Lanisters and so on. Fun stuff | ||

Assuming that they're not willing to completely abandon the story lines of the book I guess LSH wouldn't have played such an important role anyway. I like that they're trying to tell the story a little more straight-forward. Even every die-hard GoT fan must admit that book four and five really were a bit tedious at some point and that it felt like GRRM lost the thread a bit. i think the problem was the division of the books Only Jon's story line was complex and interesting enough to stand on its own for 10+ chapters a book. Tyrion's chapters always the best in the first 3 books, but now his storyline is "less cool" since instead of him being a badass, he has to deal with repeated humiliation and there s a heavier accent on him being a dawrf, rather than him being in a complicated relationship with his family And there are twice as many chapters of him, so it kinda gets boring at times, but still pretty good. Same applies to Danny *10. I hated brienne, cuz whatever, personal preferance But i loved Jaime, Reek, Arya and the entire Dornish bunch kinda neutral about the ironborn, and i really think it was a mistake to make Cersei a PoV, she became much more boring and one dimensional once we heard her inner thoughts But most of these problems i had wouldnt have arisen if not for this division :/ | ||

Wow, the Oberyn-Brave companion connection makes a ton of sense Some of the theory later on is bullshit, namely Mira Maz Duhr, and Quentyn is alive. But we do know for sure there are at least 2 parties who want the targs to succseed yet have contrary interests, though it s really really hard to get my head around who's with whom. Varys, Illirio, Doran, the Yronwoods etc | ||

I mean, do you really think she would phrase herself so elaboratly just in order to fool book-readers? When have they ever done something like that before? The thing that convinces me the most that they've cut her is the fact that they are so far into the story now that it would just be weird if they introduced her next season I think. And if they were gonna include her, the last scene of the season would have been literally the best possible time to do the whole dramatic reveal thing.. It's weird, I'm sure I'm alone here but honestly I would prefer a fucking Talisa Stoneheart like some guys over on the subreddit were joking about before over no Stoneheart at all. Such a let down not to have her at all.. The only thing that gives a bit of hope is that the showrunners themselves have made no comments about it yet. You'd think with a horde of angry book-readers they might say something like "hey sorry guys, but don't get your hopes up because we cut LSH" or something.. | ||

You'd think with a horde of angry book-readers they might say something like "hey sorry guys, but don't get your hopes up because we cut LSH" or something.. Honestly, I expect them to have some sort of "shadow LSH" that can be done through CG to take LSH's place, maybe along the lines of the shadow servant thing that Melisandre birthed. They seemed to not want to bring Fairley back for a non-speaking role, so a shadow-thing that resembles her and has her shape would make sense. Edit: Another possibility of course is that a double stands in for Fairley, and we never get a clear view of her face. I just have a feeling that 'LSH' will eventually be in the show in some form, but Michelle Fairley won't be returning. | ||

We'll have to see how Robert Strong fares but very compelling actually. Ugh, that 2nd video onward is a bit too outlandish for me. | ||

Indefensible change if true. You can't call it indefensible without reading the next 2 books She hasn't done anything noteworthy yet. | ||

Similar on the Pink letter videos, he explains it why Mance had to be the one who wrote it, then he kinda goes off | ||

Then again, maybe it's because he wants his theories to have a little more meat than "Oberyn knew the Brave Compagnions" or "Mance wrote it, the end" so he goes all Tinfoil hat. + It's kinda the charm of fan theories when they are pretty "out there" I will defintely keep and eye for new videos from him | ||

It's funny cuz it s not true in the show, lol and another guy "Seems pretty clear that Joffrey is the one who sent the assassin, ..." LOL | ||

It is hard to say what the high point is, maybe the engineering of the deal between Tyrion and the second sons? | ||
