This thread is trending dangerously into becoming the "Bad Thread" at Something Awful. We just replaced "rape rape rape" with "bad pussy" and "lemon cakes" with "20 good men".
So far we have the angry photoshops, bitter acceptance that book 6 will never come and the shitty fan fiction down pat.

Bastardizing the books is fine. But when the show starts bending its own established logic it starts to feel weird. Viewers are probably starting to notice it more.

There's the occasional useful post but they're few and far between.
Warranted criticism or not, maybe there's a better place for alternative story speculation, back seat show running and general complaining.
It shouldn't be this difficult to engage in plain old GoT show discussion.
The thing is, most of our speculation for this season was back in the season 5 thread, and since the season 6 premiere didn't really bring any new groundbreaking plot revelations, our fires burn low.

But the Bad Thread is the pinnacle of GoT threads on the internet. If only we could attain such great heights.
I've seriously never laughed more reading any other forum thread.
Link ?
I'd be happy to give a link but unfortunately it doesn't look like you can even read threads without being a member. That's dumb, you should at least be able to read threads.
It costs $10. It's worth it though if you want another place to read GoT. It's not just bad threads where people post horrible (but funny) shit. There's normal TV Game of Thrones threads (One spoiler and one non-spoiler) with 100 pages of discussion just for this season alone. Like the threads here, I would say most posts in those are decent quality. I spend time in SA and Neogaf about equally.
It's http://forums.somethingawful.com
People here got a kick out of the Dave Hill jokes I quoted a while back.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=198000987&postcount=6014 That was from SA's TV thread.
Dave Hill is writing the next episode, btw. They've loving that over there.

I'm not going to stop the trend. I'm going to grow the trend.
I thought she would appear at the end of Season 3.
This is still the best decision they ever made on the show.
I know people will never give D and D credit for this, but it was a good decision.
Davos Seaworth, One-Handed Smuggler and Forensics Investigator
It's because they've started looking at the Wikis from A Song of Ice and Fire to figure out what's going on. I saw someone mention "Azor Ahai" even though these two words have never been uttered on the show.
I could see that if they hadn't already introduced the idea of bringing people back to life with Beric. What was the point of that now? (If it's for Jon this season, I'm sure a lot of people probably don't even remember Beric)
LSH would have been a better Season 3 ending than Myhsa. It would have been a moment non-readers would have been talking about all year. Bringing her back as a zombie wouldn't reduce the misery of the story. It would just put a bit of misery on the other side and have viewers enjoy seeing the Freys getting some comeuppance. Viewers wouldn't think everything was so one-sided.
I don't feel real strongly on whether or not LSH is in the show. But I do feel strongly about the Freys not being in the show and barely have been mentioned in years. That's stupid to me. If we needed LSH so that the Freys wouldn't be ignored for seasons, I think it was a bad decision not to have LSH then.
I think they did say it in the history and lore special features on the DVD. Those things are great. Season 5 had a twenty minute showcase on the Dance of the Dragons. Plus the featurettes have even discussed the Blackfyres.

I'm still bitter about the Benjen mention last season, that was such a cocktease.
Can you feel the excitement?
If they don't do this I'm going to be pissed honestly.

Oh I speak out of love. I've skipped the thread for the last few years but I have great memories. Someone Posting a 1x1p picture to Grrms live journal that is, after being approved by Ty, replaced by a massive pic of GRRM in a crab bib with a walker. The Sandor Clegane noir or GoT/WH30k fan fictions...the time that we were convinced by a mod that GRRM was reading the thread and to try and say only nice things for a few weeks...
There are only 2 bad pussies in Dorne though. How will they withstand the assault with the bad pussies spread across the continent?
I'm so sorry.

Point me the way!
My favorite was the Jaime Lannister getting raped by Winnie the Pooh story.
The worst death I've seen on this show was Adrack Humble.

Now I am become Death: Legacy of a Toy Soldier
Has anyone read this particular theory? Pretty in-depth, and believable piece that suggests all the resurrections in the world thus far have been due to Bloodraven reanimating the bodies, and that Jon's resurrection will specifically be Bran resurrecting him, and then struggling not to lose himself in Jon, who will be seen as Azor Ahai.
I'm not sold 100%, but it's certainly the bittersweet type of thing I'd expect GRRM to attach as a price to Jon's resurrection.

So that Cersei doesn't have to go through tragedy and indignity of discovering her daughter's fate by seeing her dead body being brought to shore?
The point isn't that the Dornish Master Plan, a fan theory, is being poorly portrayed in the TV series, it's that the characters involved who are all multi-dimensional characters and vital to the main threads of A Song of Ice and Fire are being portrayed as nothing more than horny, bisexual foreigners.
I think once Obara seduces Tommen into a dark alley and knifes him they'll become pretty important.
It looks like at the very least, we'll get (promo)
Bran's vision of Winterfell
Ramsay's plans for recapturing Sansa, and more Bolton tension
Sansa, Brienne, Pod, Theon conversation
Arya and the waif
Tommen and what he's up to
Davos and the wildlings vs. Olly, First of His Name

This is incredible. I highly recommend reading all three parts. It's even more fascinating than analyzing a blood stain in the snow.
To be honest, sounds somewhat boring. I'll be cautiously optimistic.
I think it'll be better than it sounds. We'll at least have some stories move forward.

Is anyone else getting the sneaking feeling that the three-eyed Raven is the bad guy and Bran is gonna join the White Walkers? Like maybe he's the Night King's chosen heir or something, based on that trailer clip.
I don't think you can join the whitewalkers. It seems like a pretty exclusive group. You can join the wights though.

Don't you remember when the baby was turned into one?
Also, the Night's King from the story.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They pretty much take you from birth, right?
In any case, it would be horrible storytelling for Jojen Reed to foresee Bran right into the home of man's greatest enemy. So that means it will happen.
But Jojen's visions were from Bloodraven. And there's a slim chance Martin gave the name "Others" to a truly benevolent force.

Don't know if it's been mentioned here.
The plot summary for episode 2 appears to be online and seems to be VERY detailed; by the same spanish dude who leaked information about the first episode which proved to be accurate.
Browse the interned carefully peeps, lest you want to be spoiled of course. I've been spoiled on a few details which sucks
Edit - Beaten by a minute :')

I'm guessing not. Leak talk was shut down last week I recall.
Only a day 'til the episode airs anyway.
This is the most useless post lol. At least link to the thing you're talking about.
