That would be incredible. No way it's happening.
If people would or could let go of the comparison to Book Stannis, Show Stannis would get the props he deserves as one of the greatest characters we have ever seen on TV.
This has nothing to do with GoT, but after looking back on the old threads, I'm sure Cornballer will forgive me this one transgression.
I just finished watching Justified season 2 and maaaah dear lord if it isn't one of the greatest seasons of TV I've ever seen. I can't recommend this show enough, and from what I understand, the quality is quite consistent throughout.
My only regret is that I never got to discuss it with GAF as it aired. I'll probably write a LTTP when I've finished the whole thing, but for now GODDAMN, WATCH JUSTIFIED!

As someone who really likes book Stannis and greatly prefers him to the show version, I begrudgingly admit that this is probably true.
For how awful the Dornish story was and how bad the writing was, I think the casting was pretty on point for all those characters, and if they have non-stupid roles for any of them in future seasons, I think they could all pull them off, Trystane included.
I had never considered this, but holy shit. Al Swearengen will always be my #1 though.
"You should shut your fucking hole, ugly little cunt. You look like a fucking ballsack. Ugly looking stupid cunt-face. I could piss in any gutter and sow five of you. You know how much they paid me to kill a man in King's Landing? Seven silvers. They told me a man's name and that man never saw daylight again. None of them cocksuckers got away from me."
"I was a fucking legend in Gin's Alley. A fucking legend! I would take any knight - any knight - any time! Fucking cunts in steel plate. Fucking cowards."
Never forget. Quality writing for a quality show. ^_^

My thought as well.
Slight concern based on the most recent batch of casting stuff:
So they're casting apparently for Northern lords and for the Brotherhood, but both parts are apparently only getting two episodes. Kind of worried that whatever they're doing there is going to be really rushed.
If it involves Ramsay Bolton's head getting punted over the wall of Winterfell, they can do it in one.
That would actually be really cool if Trystane turns out to be a two-sided bastard and were plotting this since the beginning, also Jaime and Tyrion again would be great, and they would resolve the Dragontamer plot too. No way they are doing this for the show, D&D are not that smart.
Well, would you say he was less exciting than Quentyn?
Man, I feel like avatar-quoting every single post from all of #teamollysaves, it's just so appropriate every time.
It's a curse that I'm happy to carry. Damn kid.
Cool ideas, but why kill her when they can just keep her as a hostage or give her as a gift to Dany (the gift idea is much better, Dany would have a hostage to use against Cersei if she is still ruling). That doesn't stop Trystane from going to mereen.
Olly's face would fit well onto your avatar
1. is true enough
2. trivial as one is a child and the other a young woman who at least survived incredible circumstances.
3. So same as Stannis and all the other kings.
4. Dany listens all the time and makes decisions based on that. Joffrey hasn't even ruled or sat in a meeting.
5. Terrible and inconsistent show moment for Dany there...
6. Eh? What is this referring to? Joffrey rarely interacts with his siblings and Khal Drogo killed Viserys.
7. Sure. A lot of people do.
8. Disagree. Dany adopts the Dothraki readily and bears her breasts for no reason. She allows Hizdar so Boring to make cases and listens to them 100x before telling him to go away.
9. The Hound left becomes he was afraid of fire and Jorah left for being a pervy informer.
10. Who the hell was Danys uncle? Her dad? lol
11. By this standard no one does.
12. I don't want to imagine what Joffrey would have done in her position.
Aemon is Dany's uncle
But Aemon is Eggs older brother.
I think Aerys' brothers married for love and promptly disappeared from history.

This is how you properly meme-ize that line. 9/10.
I knew there was a reason I liked you.
Justified has long been on my "to do" list. From my love of westerns to my love of Timothy Olyphaunt to my growing respect for Elmore Leonard. Plus, everyone talking about how fantastic the show is. I'll have to dig in when I'm done with the other three or four shows on my immediate backlist.

This makes far too much sense to actually happen.
See, these make some sense, why bother showing Bronn and Tyene interacting at all? (although I only think he would betray anyone for money / status).
Jamie just heading back to KL with a dead girl doesn't really fit either, he has spent too long moping about waiting for Cersei to give him the time of day.

To be fair to Jamie, his journey has changed him for the better while the woman he loved has changed for the worse.

He cancelled two appointments this year, which means he has no events in September, October, November, or December 2015. His first 2016 event is in late February.

Basically he'd have to be almost completely finished writing by late December/January to meet an April release date. I'm more apt to believe that he'll get it out in June or July...
Makes sense, they'll have to catch whatever they need out of the Riverlands up, but it's not a main focus of the show.

I doubt that Bronn will betray Jaime.
On a separate note,
Anyone think were getting a Tower of Joy scene with Ned, Arthur Dayne, and Howland Reed? Through one of Bran's visions or will they start the season off with this scene? Like they did for Cersei in S5.

I will not indulge this, even as a joke. No amount of bad pussy could ever trump the raw cringe that NeoGiff inflicted on me just now with that photo. None. I'm dying of cringe. Collapsing into myself, into a singularity of cringe.

Hahaha. You're right.
Thinking back on all the shit Linda has said and then seeing that photo, even though I'm joking, you're right.
lol @ these two idiots..
Maybe Elio is Azor Ahai and Linda is Nissa Nissa.
