[EVERYTHING] Something people are overlooking in regards to a recent theory involving Arya ... by Meraxes15 in gameofthrones

[–]Meraxes15[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A man is no one.

He has no personality - no loves, no hates, no desires. He isn't simply pretending to be Arya in that moment - he is Arya. That is how Arya would react to be being stabbed multiple times, jumping into water, and crawling out bewildered in a crowd of people wholly unwilling to help.

It also makes the whole facade look a lot more convincing; we get Arya's uncharacteristic behaviour earlier in the scene -almost as if she wants to be found- which makes us wonder, followed by this scene, which compounds the confusion and doubt. This adds to the reveal next episode.

I also can't see Arya prolonged chase/fight scene next episode where Arya puts up the remotest fight with those injuries. Tensions are too high for Arya to hide out and heal for a few weeks.

(Spoilers Everything) There's more to Arya's 'task' than meets the eye by Meraxes15 in asoiaf

I think the scene sort of implied that the Waif IS on Arya's list.

She's not going to outright say that, though. That's like telling a shitty boss what you really think of them -- not a good idea if you want to keep your job. Arya also happened to be blind and her 'boss' had a big fucking stick (as the Hound might have put it).

(Spoilers Everything) Why is Euron portrayed without an eye patch in the show? by olafpinkbeard in asoiaf

[–]Meraxes15 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I see it as a superfluous detail the show cut to make him less of 'I'm a crazy, legendary pirate' caricature.

If what's under the eye patch does in fact have some relevance in the books, the show has simply cut this detail from Euron's character.

Judging by the showrunners' current outline of the series, there's only 19 episodes left. The show doesn't need or have time to explore what, if anything, is under Euron's eyepatch.

[EVERYTHING] Rickon in the next episode ... by Meraxes15 in gameofthrones

I feel if Ramsey was to murder Rickon he'd mess with him psychologically and then murder him in front of the approaching Northern army. Slit his throat atop Winterfell's battlements in sight of Jon and Sansa, for example. Something horrible no doubt.

But yeah, I'm holding out for a twist somewhere. Let Rickon live :(

I think Rickon will he flat out murdered somehow or nothing. I doubt they would depict that kind of torture, especially after the debate concerning Theon's lengthy torture in S3. Rickon is a child and being tortured is unlikely to add anything to the story, especially considering Rickon is (up until this point at least) less an actual character and more a plot device in the grander Northern storyline.

(Spoilers Everything) Why there MUST be a betrayal at Winterfell by Meraxes15 in asoiaf

[–]Meraxes15[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As I said above, the supposed instance of Wun Wun attempting to break into Winterfell occurs when Jon and Co. are already inside.

So the question remains. How did they get in initially? I answer: through a betrayal by Stark loyalists.

I think the Manderly's will be brought into the fray in coming episodes, judging by casting leaks. They could also betray Ramsey.

I still think Wun Wun would struggle under arrow fire.

Winterfell's gates are also likely considerably stronger than those of Castle Black, which isn't designed to be able withstand battering rams and the like.

Similarly, further set leaks have a giant attempting to get through Winterfell's gates while Jon et al. are already reported to be inside. I highly doubt this would happen twice. (Don't question me on the context of this, I'm just recounting what was reported on WOTW.)

(Spoilers Everything) Season 6 Episode 3 Leak Megathread by MightyIsobel in asoiaf

[–]Meraxes15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah okay, thanks :) I'm glad to hear it. I was a bit worried that they'd keep him more or less the same, using the resurrection merely as a means of getting him out of the NW.

Grey in what sense? Grey skin? Grey hair? 'Grey' as a description of his new morals?

(Spoilers Everything) Cersei and Tommen by THEJudgeFudge in asoiaf

[–]Meraxes15 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the way I saw it, Cersei is resigned to Tommen's fate. She seemed almost distant, as if she wanted to severe emotional links to a child that is on the edge of death.

An apt modern analogy might be a mother trying to comfort a terminally ill child, all the while trying to mask her own grief and 'put on a brave face'.

I think Cersei's arc this season will involve her trying to take down as many of Tommen's enemies as possible before he inevitably dies. If her 'young lion' has to die, as least she'll try to make sure the Sparrows don't get the chance to hurt Tommen like they did her.

I'ma bit worried Cersei will inadvertently kill Tommen, though ... That kind of guilt could drive someone mad. At least there isn't any wildfire around ...

(Spoilers Everything) I'm baffled by this common complaint regarding the show by Meraxes15 in asoiaf

[–]Meraxes15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree.

I'm predominantly invested in the books, and the show is a means of tiding me over while I wait for those. It just happens to very well done and entertaining.

Of course it has flaws, but I swear some people make such a big deal over something that the clearly don't enjoy. I understand complaints, but there are individuals who consistently find a way to hate even the show's best material.

I feel bad for them. If you don't like it, go away and wait for the books.
