All of a sudden she gets away and finds family and than says 'if you don't help me I'll do it myself' wtf is she gonna honestly expect to do after being a prisoner and weak coward after all these years? I imagine in the book it details her transition from little scared girl to future ruler of the North well but it just felt really forced suddenly.
This wasn't the case last season at all. She was under captivity, but she wasn't even close to the same character that she was in the first few seasons even then.

05-16-2016 , 10:49 PM
I didn't remember that either. Did it get mentioned before the latest ep?
05-16-2016 , 10:59 PM
Season needs more Bronn.

It was mentioned at the start of Season 5? when Kevin and Lancel were reintroduced to us in a conversation with Cersei.

What happened to Dany's old Dothraki horde, the hundreds/thousands of people who were following her around all of those Slaver's Bay cities? I don't remember. Did they just decide to stay in one of the cities and not follow Dany anymore or return home to Vaes Dothrak or something?

I will answer this as a book reader, but will keep everything in spoilers. Hope this transparency, while violating the terms of the thread title, will be enough to make people okay with it. If not feel free to delete, mods.
Spoiler:


As the show has mostly caught up to the books or even surpassed them, the only spoilerish stuff you will get in there are discussions about how the books are different from the show (only spoilerish if you intend to read the books later on) and some foreshadowing that wasn't in the show.
So a book readers speculation might be better than a show watchers speculations, but as there are major discrepancies between book and show, even that might not really be true for all storylines.
There is only one storyline that lags the books quiet significantly. I will say which one it is, but not in what way in the spoiler:
Spoiler:
It's the Iron Islands and based on the trailer for next episode, that will catch up pretty quickly. So if you already have a pretty good guess who a certain characters parents are and aren't a total spoiler nit, which I assume you aren't or you wouldn't have asked the question, feel free to read the bookreader thread.

What needs to happen next episode is Brawn flies into King's Landing on Drogon with Sansa's lifeless body in one of Drogon's claws. Drogon eats Tommyknocker in a single bite and Brawn marries Cersei and declares himself king. Cersei is pretty pissed but figures at least she gets to be queen again so fair enough. Margarine is left to rot in the Sparrow dungeon with the other poors. Old Sparrow realizes the jig is up and heads to Valaryia to make shoes for the Many Faced God.

Meanwhile, Lord Commander For Life Jon Snow and the wildlings go confront Ramsey and LCFLJS gives Ramsey the option of taking the black. Ramsey decides to do it, but immediately goes north of the wall to take the blue, and convinces the blue dudes to turn him into a blue dude because really he's always been a blue dude at heart, amiright? The blue dudes realize this is true and make him Blue Ramsey, so now he can make knives out of ice whenever he wants and he also has a pack of dead dogs. This means LCFLJS is pretty much completely ****ed, given that he also lost his lead general when Tumor Giantsbane ran off with Knight Lady to restart the race of giants.

Over on Dothraki mountain, Khaleesi gets captured by someone after her horde abandons her once they realize that her less-boobs-showing contract demands mean that the Khal BBQ is the last time they get to see them this season. Georgia the Stone Man tries to save her, but she tells him to gtfo because Khaleesi. Daario uses his Supernova PS FPPs to buy Rhaegal from Khaleesi with the promise to save her, but instead just spends all his time flying around having Rhaegal divepoop people.

Tyrion is still trying to Make Slavery Great Again over in Slaver's Bay, but he's having trouble because his main advisor Various has decided to join the Unsullied. This means that 16 languages chick is the only one left to help him, but she's no use because all she can think about is Grey Wurm's lack of spear and getting revenge on the masters for not having anything to ride. Tyrion has a drink.

Butterfinger finally realizes that playing babysitter to ****** Of The Vale is not going to put him on the iron throne any time soon, and finally ships the kid through the moon door, where we always knew he'd end up ever since his character was first introduced. Butterfinger says something awesome when he does this that everyone on the internet repeatedly quotes until it becomes as boring as "bout 3.50"

Red Cougar Mellisand gives up trying to seduce LCFLJS once she realizes he's never going to love anyone but Egret, and decides that a girl is who the Lord Of Light had in mind all along for the fight. a girl and RCM strike a bargain - if RCM shadowbabies finish off a girl's hit list, a girl will agree to set the world ablaze. RCM agrees because in the flames she has seen that this a girl is on fiiiiyah.

Post credits scene is
Spoiler:
Gendry still rowing.


Post post credits scene reveals

Who, who, and who? Sorry I have not read the books.

EDIT: I don't care if those people's names are from the books or not, just joking around and I found your post interesting, but I must really suck at watching the show if I should know those names. I have not re-watched many of the seasons (but am meaning to) so it is probably just bad memory or names I didn't understand to begin with.

see the thing is there is nothing book readers can spoil because the show has gone past the books and no one has any ****ing clue what's gonna happen.

it is literally impossible to be spoiled by anything other than an advanced screener of an episode or a leaked script.

it is hilarious seeing how ****ing nitty and stupid ppl itt can be tho.

You should definitely know Barriston Selmy, he was the old grey haired guy that guarded the kings early in the show and was forced to retire by Cersie. He then went to serve Dany and died gloriously protecting Grey Worm in an ally. He's a pretty prominent character and was regarded as one of the goat sword fighters ever.

Arthur Dayne was shown recently in the flashback scene fighting Ned with 2 swords then was stabbed in the back by Howland Reed.

Howland Reed is the father of the brother and sister who have helped Bran go north of the wall. I can't remember exact details but I think Ned spoke about him and then the brother and sister also told some stories about him to Bran.

Thanks for posting this. Was considering reading the book reader thread but wasn't quite sure. I really don't care about minor spoilers, just wasn't positive if there were any major ones left.

I hope in the book reader thread and read half of a post before closing it out. There's no 'can't wait till Joffrey dies!' Type posts but the very first comment I read was regarding deep speculation that no TV reader would have the knowledge to speculate. For that reason I'll stay away and be content with minimal discussion in this thread.

Emilia Clarke confirmed in an interview that those were indeed her boobies.

I think this is a solid point about the book thread,understand that the readers will compare past, present and future action to the books "Plot y intersects with plot z" etc and stuff like podcasts, pre release chapters and trailers get talked about regularly. I will say the convo is feels more cerebral then in here and far less aids like.
The TV show passed or will pass all plots by next week anyway, and other plots probably arent happening

sorry RBK but this is just not true.

i highly suggest not reading the other thread unless you want a good idea of whats most likely gonna happen in multiple storylines. And there are 10 times more prophecies and visions in comparison that the internet can analyze hours on end from the books
05-17-2016 , 01:04 PM
Agree with Kirby. Its going to be a lot of Sansa's necklace poison.
05-17-2016 , 01:08 PM
I have an inkling that to use a phrase within the parlance of our times that "**** is about to pop off".

Those elf wood ladies will unlock all the missing pieces of the puzzle

They were mostly women, children, and olds. Only a couple hundred fighters, most warriors abandoned it upon Drogo's demise. I think they are hanging around Meereen, they haven't really had a speaking part since season 2. In number they are inconsequential compared to the 8,000 Unsullied.
