HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones - will this be just for nerds? (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg

:(

fallout shelter now up on ios app store

sucks to be... everybody

oooops

well that's a bomb drop

well i was gonna say they telegraphed the slow acting poison way too much but then lots of other stuff happened.
kinda terrified to go near social media for the next 24 hours.

i'll kick it off with the obvious question with as few spoilers as possible for the moment: is that last death a major deviation from the book?

Nope. The only deviation is in its finality (vaguely open in the book that character might still be alive -- in the show, per all the stories just now, character is dead dead dead.)

"Stories" = embargoed articles now running, interviews etc.

Pretty sure the showrunners and actor are Snowing us

You know something, etc.

I think the stories are saying that because they prob don't want to commit to ambiguity

for the watch

:)

Xp to ned, that would explain the long slow gutter of blood and empty face for five seconds, wasnt sure why they felt the need to underline so obsessively

bc there is power in kings' blood i dunno

loved reek's Vader move, tossing what's her face off the balcony there.

well i think the point is that if it was left even somewhat open in the book, they were pretty goddamn definitive there unless they're gonna do a zombie mountain on him.

Next obvious question: are we more or less up to date with what's been revealed in the book?

apparently yes

get ready for a lot of tiresome speculation for the next 9.5 months

Awesome, i will now read the entire spoiler thread and get caught up on all that nonsense.

Wait! I can still think of one thing that hasn't happened that's kind of a big deal!

surely a coincidence that Melisandre showed up at the wall two minutes before Jon Snow got Ides of Marched.

Liked Sam's saying "fuck off, no chance" to celibacy.

Hope those Night Watch bastards get comeuppance.

I'm rooting for Cersei's revenge now. Never thought I'd be glad to see her and Mountain alive. Just hoping Margaery and Loras will be okay.

Really hoping there won't be a big long search for Dany.

As bad as things are for some, at least Varys, Davos, Sansa and Theon are in better circumstances now.

Wonder what will happen to that Dornish guy on the boat.

I assume we're meant to know that Dani found another Dothraki tribe that will end up being her army

I think the dragon is the only reason they'd treat her favourably. There's very little chance they'd be loyal to her because of their prior association.
They did look almost like they were celebrating so maybe they saw her flying the dragon.

Jaime could turn the boat around. I don't think he has any reason to fear Dorne, especially with the Dornish boy. I initially thought he'd kill the boy in a rage but maybe he'd be more sympathetic because the boy will be distraught too.

I know the big spoiler that hasn't happened (and might never) in the tv show, so I'm off to the spoiler thread too.
Winds Of Winter is probably coming out at the end of this year so it won't be a safe thread forever.

so now that Stannis and daughter are dead does that mean the only living blood relative of Robert Baratheon is Gendry?

i can't remember, what happened to dany's old dothraki tribe after drogo died?

as definitively dead as jon snow appears to be (unlike stannis as it happens, maybe brienne missed eh) there is a magic woman with powers bestowed from a god who's been known to resurrect people hanging around.

Most dothraki left her after Drogo died and very few seem to have stuck around but they'd probably just be absorbed into the city, so you don't really see them.

Wonder if the high sparrow really expects Cersei to keep cooperating.

Yeah i am willing to bet melisandre does the same thing with Jon that the red priest did with flaming sword dude

Creators and Harrington said there is no return but I'm interested to see if they ever lie about this stuff and are able to keep it a secret. If it did get out that he was working on the show again, maybe the could say it's just a flashback.

I think the actor et al are being artful with this "Jon Snow is dead. Its final" stuff. Hes probably resurrected as Jon Targarean or some such

I suppose as a backup plan they could have shot his season 6 scenes already.

I hope Tormund gets more story again.

HE'S DEAD. JON SNOW IS DEAD AND WE'RE NEVER GOING TO SEE HIM AGAIN!!

*logrolls away*

No one talking about Cersei walk of shame
Seems like that should be take worthy

I think I'd be annoyed if Jon was still alive. Not sure why. As far as the 'walk of shame' didn't she do that to someone else, at least in the books?

(Certainly I knew of the practice from somewhere)

Can't recall wether she started crying before or after she passed the last peasants.

I was thinking of Eberts reaction to the Blue Velvet public nudity scene

This seems of a greater magnitude though perhaps handled more professionally than by David Lynch

loved it

before the walk when she was naked in the room it was some of the clumsiest switching between head shot and body double i ever saw but then they pulled out proper tv magic during the walk itself, v impressive.

i didn't even notice it was a body double, good tv magicking. it was v intense, agonizingly dragging out forever

The outdoors part was a body double?

that would be some top notch fx

the naked body was a body double

they try to burn jon's body but they can't because he's a dragon

xpost they used a body double for the shots w/o her face
