downzy Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Interesting... Yeah, I'll be honest and only read the first couple of lines of that article when I posted it. I went back and read the rest of the article and realized it's happened before. Was hoping to see major developments happen on the tv show so that all of my friends who read the books can flip out on Facebook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daedalus Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I haven't read the books (yet), so it's fine with me. Like Maisie Williams once said: "That’s why I liked moments like this, because book readers think they know what’s coming, then we change it and it’s really funny to watch their reactions. They’re always like, ‘That’s not what happened in the books, so the show’s really bad now.’ But really, they just feel insecure because they’re used to knowing what’s coming next." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I don't think anyone who is that important to the last 2 books story arc will die whether the following season next year follows Winds or not.None of the characters that died on the show yet that still live in the books were really that important.

Bono Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I had never seen a single episode of Game of Thrones until 12 days ago when on on a whim I decided to buy all 4 seasons on dvd. I won't say I'm completely blown away by it but I am addicted to it. I crushed all 4 seasons in 12 days. Being able to watch it that way works incredible well. Now if I had to sit throw four seasons and watch it one episode at a time week to week I don't think I would have ever got into it but the way I was able to watch them one right after another was awesome. I do love this series but I won't watch season 5 on tv. I'll wait for it to come out on dvd and watch it that way. It does suck though knowing I have to wait a year when season five starts next month but I have no desire to watch this one week at a time so..... What I probably will do though is between now and when season 5 comes out on dvd I will probably watch every episode again and of course I'll watch all the extras on the dvds so I will have my Game of Thrones fix for the year.What I really like about this series is the fact anyone can(and does) die at any given moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never read the books, didn't realize that wasn't how it was originally. in the book varys sends tyrion to another group but that group has been cut from the show i think.There's speculation/rumours that Trystane takes the role of Aegon instead as the big reveal in episode 10, which would have let them cut Arianne too since it look's like her character ends up as a subplot/bridge to link Dorne to Aegon (in the WOW preview chapters). No idea if it's true.Not sure what happens with Vary's in the end, but I bet he kills Pycelle/Kevan anyway in a version of the Dance epilogue.I think they just want a familiar face interacting with Tyrion in the first part of the season. Supposedly the conversation that Tyrion/Vary's have in the trailer is still at Illyrio's. Anyone have any guesses on how season 5 ends? Despite the changes, it look's like this season is still keeping most of the major moments from ADWD anyway, but where does it go from there?

Although I haven't read the books, some accidental spoilers have slipped through. My guess is it ends with Jon being stabbed, or is that the wrong book?

It's the right book, but that's more a episode 9 moment. I don't think this show can end with a cliffhanger over whether or not a character is dead, given he'd be easy to spot when they film July-December.The show has to answer the question.

And there was an announcement (I forget by who) saying characters will die this season who are not yet dead in the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) HBO said yesterday that the new season of Game of Thrones will be simulcast in only 170 countries or so to reduce piracy.However Sky here in the UK won't, they're not going to broadcast it until the next night. Which given a large percentage of the show is made here in Northern Ireland is kind of ironic . Edited March 11, 2015 by AtariLegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
