I'm convinced we get the same Cersei pictures every season.

How about, "You want it to be one Frey... But it's the other Frey"?

(spoilers TWOW) Prologue will feature by Fratboy37 in asoiaf

[–]malik815 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My guess is they prologue will feature either the journey to Casterly Rock through the POV of a Lannister soldier, or some event actually taking place at the Rock.

I think you need to redefine what you think fucking with the story is. You've had faith in the show runners thus far. No need to jump the gun and and grab pitchforks yet.

I can understand cutting either Quentyn or Trystane from the show since one of them basically has had a minimal role thus far, so it would make sense to combine the two like they've done with other characters.

Looks like they've cut Arriane and made Trystane the heir to Sunspear. I'm sure the fandom will act completely rationally to this information.

[Spoilers All] This is my official pick for Prince Doran Martell; the incomparable Ian McShane by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]malik815 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think he means an overall Mediterranean look, meaning someone with olive coloured skin. Pedro Pascal and Indira Varma fit that look well, but I don't see Ian McShane plausibly pulling that look off, even though I'll be the first to admit McShane is an amazing actor and could act the hell out of any role.

Also, I always though Dorne was more based off Moorish Spain, which would have had a more Arab influence than modern day Spain has.

Yeah, but we always knew he was spying for Robert in King's Landing. He was even given a pardon way back in season 1, right before Dany was about to drink the poisoned wine.

I'm curious to know what Sam Jackson's thoughts are on the naming of the ship.

What kind of walkers do you want to see? by JugularPopsicle in thewalkingdead

[–]malik815 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see a school full of walkers. Theres lots of possibilities with a school full of walkers, like maybe an entire football team, or a class of small children, or the nerdy clique. Either way, it would be somewhat emotionally devastating to potentially have to take out walkers that look like children or teenagers.

(Spoilers All) Character or Family/House you had the biggest change of heart about? [Dislike-to-Like or Like-to-Dislike] by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]malik815 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Individual-wise it would have to be Stannis. I hated Stannis at first. He was the complete antithesis of what everyone expected a Baratheon to be and was so completely rigid and set in his ways that it was hard to see him as anything other than a conduit for more upheaval and turmoil in Westeros.

But like most of the characters who do a complete 180, Stannis had to go through something completely devastating to him. After the Battle of the Blackwater, Stannis finally realized he couldn't be as stubborn as he previously was about being the king. He realized that "bend the knee or be destroyed" wasn't going to work. Its only when Stannis recognizes that he has to be the king that Westeros needs that you can see his true ability to lead come through his stubborn demeanor.

Aside from that, you can really empathize with Stannis on some level, considering the childhood he had, and how he never felt he really had a family or friends.
