Cult Icon Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 I've watched the arcs that piqued my interest already. I've missed several. They are: The Lannisters, The Boltons, Iron born (Theon mainly), Tyrells, The Starks except for Bran. Strong performances (I may be missing some): main characters: Cersei, Tywin, The Imp, Jaime, Brienne, Sir Bonn, Theon, Ramsey Bolton, Roose Bolton, Margaery Tyrell, Robb Stark, Ned Stark, King Robert, Joffery, the Hound, Arya, Olenna Tyrell,Cate Stark minor characters: Locke, Balon Greyjoy, Byndun Tully, Walder Frey, High Sparrow, Tormund, Ygritte, Kardstack Perfect acting: Tywin, Cersei, The Imp, Theon, Margery, Robb, Ned, Olenna, Joffery, the Hound, King Robert, Arya Of these, Margeary, Cersei, the Imp, Robb, Theon and Arya's roles are the hardest to portray but they did it. I've a fan of the writing and design of Robb Stark, Theon, and Margeary. Damn good characters and quite realistic in my view. Quote
gotportugal Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Did you watch Sansa's? It's so interesting Quote

Cult Icon Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 @gotportugal What do you think will happen with the Ironborn and Knights of the Vale? I've never read the books. It looks like the next season will expand on this. Also it seems to me that the whole Jaime/Cersei character change seems awkward. He becomes a much better man after this maiming, while Cersei becomes more and more brutal. Yet, ostentatiously, the love for each other is the same. Something's off. Quote
gotportugal Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Their love for each other is def there and it is going to be really interesting to see how their dynamic works out on screen. In what show do you get the dynamic of incest brother and sister where she just caused their sons death and their father died in the toilet? But on-topic, I personally think they are going to deviate from the books, and I think they are going to keep the IronBorn near Dany Quote

They have love scenes periodically throughout the show but that's about it. The two separate in S6 to accomplish different tasks. While Jaime completes his in a mostly non-violent manner, Cersei seems to have gone mad with bloodlust. That seems to be relationship ending sort of stuff lol. The crowning shows Cersei surrounded by armed guards rather than allies, a portent of what is to come. I think she will be killed and it would be a neat twist to see Jaime do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt1ltM-z2qs Quote
gotportugal Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Look up on the net for Cersei's prophecy. In the book, it is much more detailed and actually says that she will be killed by her valonqar (her smaller brother in Valyrian). That's why she has such a big hate on Tyrion. But it is specified that Jaime was the last one to get out of their mother's womb, so it would serve as a final touch for him to kill her, Kingslayer and Queenslayer Quote
Cult Icon Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 ah, interesting. My guess is that Jon Snow and/or Dragon girl will sit on the throne. A united world seems appropriate in a way as a 'happy ending'. I think Alfie Ale (Theon) has the most potential as an up and coming actor from GOT Quote
gotportugal Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 GRRM has said that the ending would have a ''bittersweet taste to it''. Quote
gotportugal Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Alfie does a really great job, they all do but Alfie a lot Quote

Cersei's haircut is suitable for her role as the evil queen. Jaime's haircut seems out of place for his role. His old haircut was better. Quote

They do match haircuts now Personally, I feel like the White Walkers will be erradicated spring will come, but IMO it's going to be either of two things: Someone people don't want sits on the throne or either Someone people do want sits on the throne but eventually is left all alone bc of all the war that will probably kill most characters. Predictions of deaths before the end: Dany Arya Brienne Jaime Hound Cersei The Red Woman Theon Davos Littlefinger Predictions on who's dying in the final moments Jon But this is all very ambiguous Quote
Cult Icon Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I didn't watch the Dany arc but why do you think she will die? My hunch was that she was an 'untouchable' of the show like Jon snow. So you think Sansa will sit on the throne? Or Bran? (LOL. I didn't watch Bran's arc). Quote
gotportugal Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Idk, I just cant imagine her on the throne, a Sansa on the Iron Throne is something very possible, Married to Tyrion, brother of the now queen, Heir to the Vale, Riverlands and the North. Possible heir to Casterly Rock bc of Tyrion. Only Dorne and the Tyrells missing, not that much Quote

Maybe a new character (or a character in the books, that hasn't appeared) may be a candidate for the Iron Throne? Or perhaps the Iron throne will become defunct due to political events? Quote
gotportugal Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I recommend you to take a look at the Ashford Theory, its very interesting Quote
Cult Icon Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 ah, jon and sansa. makes sense It would be boring for me if the untouchable characters won. Quote
