I think it works best if Trystane isn't Aegon. Instead Dorne is just angling for an alliance with Dany, and launches a preemptive strike that mirrors Aegon's attack in the book. Then Varys can just be a Dany loyalist with no other complication, and the overall political situation remains the same as in the book, even if the characters and motivations have shifted.

See, I disagree with that. It's my main problem with cutting Aegon off the show: What is Varys' plan then? Making him a Dany/Targaryen supporter doesn't make sense. If Varys is a Dany loyalist in the show, how will they explain:

-Him and Illyrio doing nothing to help Dany and Viserys during these 15 years and allowing Viserys to become the Beggar King. They have an ultra good spy network, they could have used it to help the Targaryen siblings.

-Sending the Targaryens to the Dothraki was a nearly certain death to them. Viserys died pretty quickly and Dany escaped death a bunch of times. What if Drogo didn't fell in love with Dany? If that did not happened, then he would not have defended Dany and other Dothrakis would have kill Dany. How about Dany surviving the Red Waste? She could have died there.

-Varys warning the Small Council about Dany everytime. If Dany is his plan, why would he mention her to the Small Council? He told King Robert about the Dany-Drogo wedding. Why would he do that? This led Varys to send an assassin after Dany. The only thing that prevented the poisoner of achieving his mission was Jorah having a change of heart, which Varys could not have foreseen. In S2, he mentionned her dragons to Tyrion, who was Hand of the King back then. The only thing Varys did in S4 was constantly telling Tywin about how big of a threat Dany is. This is pure nonsense if Varys' endgame is Dany.

If showVarys is a Dany loyalist, then he might be the dumbest person in Westeros.

I wonder if Jaime is actually going to Dorne at some point to get his daughter in the books?

This sucks that we're going to be reading Winds in 2019 and be looking for scenes from the book. "Oh there's a 85% chance Jaime is going to do this because it was on the show". Fuck...

Didn't Drogo once finish in only three thrusts? Daario would never do that.

Wasn't that after she ate the heart? She was washing off and he's so hot "and rock hard" that he became a three pump chump.

Jesus Christ GRRM.

Yes way

Jorah sucks

If anything, that's overestimating Jorah. I imagine it something like:

Dany: Jorah, let's have se—
*Jorah breaks down crying*
Dany: Um, seconds with dinner tonight?
*Cries harder. Fetal position*

Edit: Oh we went serious here. I'm just joking. Totally think Jorah's kind of a loser though.

I'm honestly wondering what will happen to Jorah with the rest of the story. I think he might actually survive and go to the Knights Watch.

Ok I'll just post what it says.

She hasn't made an appearance on the show yet, will she?

Yeah, this woman will be on the show. There's a story line that will be contingent on her, her actions, something she does, but it doesn't seem to be long. It seems like there's a short arc for her to come back to set something up, then she can just come in and out.

What's the previous question and who is the person being interviewed, lol.
Click to expand...

Actually it just states that Catelyn is LSH and then it goes into that question. I don't know much more, just got the pic from westeros.org. I just posted it because i've heard EW has a pretty good track record when it comes to GoT info. There is a good chance this just could be BS but I wanted to share it anyway.

Did they really print that in the print issue? What morons. (The spoiler, not the confirmation.)

LS is too juicy for the show to cut. Right now show Brienne & Pod have no other purpose than to run into her posse atm.

I have faith in the showmakers and they will put in LSH.
They just adapted it for TV, just like a lot of other things like DAny not spending a whole season in Meereen seemingly doing nothing.

Imagine how it would suck for LSH to show up in the last 5 minutes of S4E10 and only once in Season 5 for like 2 minutes. They probably want some more story in one go

Oh wow it's apparently a psychic that talked about LSH. WTF NVM

I think the psychic thing is just sort of a gag they wrap around their insider rumors. Also, having seen the article, I have no idea what it's saying about Ser Pounce, but if anything bad happens to him I will hurt someone.
