You are missing something - there's more than one character who appears dead, but may still play a part...

53838_1362327793.jpg And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |

| Whether certain characters return from the dead, or not, the fact remains that this recent series was a pretty shoddy effort and the tactic of the occasional shock scene, or odd dramatic twist in the storyline, dragged the programme to the level of soap opera.
I maintain that the introduction of new characters is simply a cynical ploy to drag out the franchise - Also the complete disappearance of other characters is a complete joke.... Disabled Stark fella and his entourage??, that lad out of the Inbetweeners??
I'm all for a complex tale, but constantly introducing new characters while leaving old ones in limbo, smacks of the writers not having much of a clue how to end the whole thing.
Unless there is some progress to the story and some indication of a light at the end of the tunnel, then I think people will begin to leave the series in droves, leaving just the nerds who spend all their time discussing various GoT theories online (How sad are those guys?? ).

| Quote: Durham Giant "But in the interview you quote above Nutter does say i am a director and i direct what script i am given. So if he comes back he comes back.'" Quote: Durham Giant "My answer to that would be rewatch Season 3, around episodes 5 or 6 IIRC.'" Quote: Durham Giant "You are missing something - there's more than one character who appears dead, but may still play a part...'"
Fair enough, and I accept this is a fantasy series, anything could happen and he could come back with striking aplomb and a leaky chest.
But going back to the original point, the constant killing-off of key characters to be replaced with barely-known new faces has diminished my enjoyment (and many others, from what I read) considerably by removing much of my emotional engagement.
I hope it starts to recover, the last series was a bit lame imo.

This is however, with some variation, largely how it was written by the author; he seems to lack any sentimentality for his main characters and kills them off with impunity if it fits his story.
I would broadly agree though - the most recent season wasn't particularly engaging; feels like they've trod water a bit to let him catch up.

While the author is ruthless in this sense, I'm sure he has some affection towards some of his characters. I read somewhere that he wrote the Red Wedding chapter after he'd completed all the other chapters in book 3, as it was painful for him to write it. He loved the characters that were killed off.

I think in all likelihood HBO will finish Game of Thrones before Martin finishes his books. He writes slowly, and the show has already gone past the books and has changed some things completely. I tend to agree though. Season 5 was weaker than 4 for me, but I'm still looking forward to 6.

| I'm sure they will do a GoT prequal about the mad king etc when they have finished. I read somewhere there will be 8 series in total so a long way to go before we think about that!

| Bye bye Ramsay!
Season 6 has certainly been one of the best of the series, certainly making amends for the disastrous season 5.

| I'm guessing that John Snow's father is really a Targaryen hence the show will probably end with him & Daenerys uniting the Kingdoms & overcoming the white walkers.

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |
|
| R + L = J - confirmed
Aegon Targarion will make an appearance next season under the protection of Jon Connington and will make up the three headed dragon with Danerys and Jon Snow (Targ).
Either they use ride the dragons to fight the white walkers or Bran will warg into them to fight them.

galliant - When Gutterfax stands alone in a thread out comes his alt account to make it look like he's got support.
Gutterfax - Yawnion patronising Troll
Lebron James - yet another Yawnion patronising Troll,born watching the wrong sport he knows his beloved yawnion is 100 behind League so tries to talk Yawnion up and league down.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20989.jpg |

| I know its a running joke amongst the cast that your not an established charater unless there is a thoery online about you being a Targaryen but Varys IS a Targaryen.
I saw something in a previous episode that felt and looked like a reveal that nobody esle seems to have seen and everything we know and have come to see from Varys just fits.

| The pacing of this season was much better. it wasn't as slow as previous seasons. It was a great antidote to the somewhat downbeat previous season, there were so many satisfying moments. The ninth episode was probably one of the best episodes of tele I think I've seen.
