Man, they had him going out in such a shitty way. Couldn't they at least have had him kill a shit ton of guys before getting killed? That way he could have at least reflected that badassery that he projected.

Little Finger said to Ramsey before the weeding he didn't know anything about him since he used to be a bastard
Click to expand...
Yeah, he wasn't lying when he said he didn't know. If there's one thing we know about Littlefinger is that he loves Cat and that love has transferred to Sansa, he wouldn't have macarrones her off if he thought she was in danger. Even Rosse was not a fan of the way Ramsay was acting with Sansa since she was such an important piece to holding power in the North.

Could have shown him fighting like he did and then just cut to Grey Worm working his way to Barristan to find him dead surrounded by piles and piles of dead baddies.

No way Littlefinger should be that naive not to know who Ramsay is.

Sorry. Wrong thread.

If he was going to die, I much rather he die this season or the next, but I guess if they had someone with military experience, we see Dany, be brought down low this season so when she wins, her victory would be more impressive.

Is GRRMs comparison of Dayne and Barristan considered book talk?
Click to expand...

The title of this thread says Read the OP for a reason.

ABSOLUTELY NO BOOK DISCUSSION. It doesn't matter if it's under spoiler tags, book discussion should not be in this thread. Use the other thread for book-related television discussion. This includes alluding to things, subtle hinting, comparing the books to the show, etc...
Click to expand...

I guess in this case, only if it's different in the books.

I should have looked up when GRRM said it, actually. I wouldn't have needed to ask if I did.

No, it's the author's comments on his own work so it should be fine. I'm guessing you're referring to his comment on who would win, Ser Barristan Selmy or Ser Arthur Dayne?
Click to expand...

Yup.

But I think I'd probably consider it a book spoiler because I don't think Dayne was mentioned in the show at the time he answered it. And the answer is kind of book specific. I'll stop.

Eh, it's more a case of man who prides himself on knowing everything and anything ("every possibility") marries girl he is 'inlove with' to a man he knows nothing about.


So, like many things these past few seasons...

This is bad cuz it's bad writing!

The best thing for little finger to have done in the situation was wait it out. He had an army unaffected by the war and the key to the north. He proceeded to throw away the key to the north and get involved in a war in which he didn't need to. He's been poorly handled since the 'only Cat' scene.

Book readers on GAF often praise D&D's original scenes in the early seasons. Such as many Robert Baratheon scenes, Robb stark scenes and Arya-Tywin scenes.

Tyrion and Jaime are kind of dicks to the Stark men at Winterfell.

Although I have to say I really enjoyed seeing the Lannisters sitting down at the Stark table. It was a nice moment for the show.

No he left it at winterfell and then robb had it.
He chopped off karstak head with it. He was seen carrying it a few time i think. He brought it with him to red weddings. After that incident tywin got it. Remember tywin even mentions to jamie he got it from some one who doesnt need it anymore.

That particular plotline is very different in the book and doesn't have to reconcile Littlefinger being a misinformed idiot in order to make it work. (As Sansa isn't even involved.)

It's far less clumsy in execution.

Robb did not use Ice to behead Karstark. It was his own sword. I re watched the scene.

We have to assume that Ned had brought it with him because as hand He's leaving Winterfell completely.

Nah that's not right. Ned took it to King's Landing and it was eventually used to behead him.

Lord but that's a big sword.

Does Brienne know where her sword came from?
Click to expand...
I feel like there was a scene where Jaime tells her how it would be appropriate that she uses it to find the Stark girls because it was made from Ned's sword, but maybe I'm making that up?
