    About the character that's alive in the books, but dead in the show: i've read many comments, but everyone keeps forgetting Mago. He specifically advised them not to kill that guy in season 1, as he had plans for him. Small character, but still, he went out of his way to try and keep him alive in the show. So there might be a slight chance it's him.

I also feel like Its not going to be THAT huge of an unexpected story progression in the book other than a more fleshed out story of self re-discovery for Danny, for which Mago ain't all that important but a means to an ends?

      I hate how the self proclaimed "diehard" fans of the show justify Stannis's character development. "He was always a bad man, greedy for power, that's why he burned his own daughter" never ever was it stated that he pursued the crown for power. He always said it was his duty, and he never asked for it. Gtfo with your bs interpretations. The showrunners basically admitted it when they said they never liked Stannis. That's why they got rid of him so cheaply

And sry it IS their fault, how come two writers with a huge budget can't write shit on their own? Good writers would make their own logical story, with help of other people.

    • @fernandosimon5621

      @What ? ok buddy...S5 is faithful to the books? Haha
      So Jon Snow in S5 goes to hardhome himself to save the wildlings, that happened in the books? It does not. He only gets a letter describing the massacre that took place there. But the show needed the scene right? Big hero fighting the big baddy. Jon is more a of a general than a soldier in ADWD, spending more time planning than fighting. Fighting the battles in his head rather than with his sword.
      Clearly I did not read the books, yeah...
      Another one, Brienne.
      So she goes straight to Winterfell to save Sansa, who in the books is not even sansa, they don't even THINK is sansa, they think it's arya and in reality is Jeyne Poole. What happened to all of brienne's and pod's story against the brotherhood in S5? I guess I missed that episode then...
      Stannis burns his daughter in S5... if I remember correctly by the end of ADWD his army wants to burn asha, not his daughter, and he is AGAINST burning and does not go through with it, he might in TWOW but that book is not out yet, so yeah clearly that's not a faithful representation on Stannis in S5 where he burns his fucking DAUGHTER. In the books he actually leaves a statement saying that should he die his daughter MUST get the Iron throne. Yeah, I did not read the books...
      Let' talk about Tyrion's story now. Jorah is the one that contracts Grey Scale in S5, i must have read the name Griff as Jorah in ADWD then, how stupid of me. In reality Jorah in S5 is actually a mix of Sir Connington and Jorah and after S5 he basically becomes Ser Baristan. Tyrion's whole plot of ADWD is underwhelming in the show because they nicked Young Griff, the false dragon. You know, the one that Varys wants in power in the books. But in S5 Varys wants Daenerys...yeah I clearly did not read the books.
      And there is more, SO much more to say but man I'm tired of writting. But please...do tell me how I have not read the books again.

It would be refreshing to see George maybe take someone like Baristan further into the story and not conclude his story in Meereen. I imagine he will eventually die and Dany will have no more advisors when she loses her mind, but i would like to see him and Dany at least bond for a while. The only way i see him dying is by being deceived somehow.

The story gets told about The Defiance of Duskendale where Aerys gets held hostage by Lord Denys of that town because Denys wants more tax independence for the town than it already has. Tywin Lannister is about to besiege the place when Ser Barristan Ninja Selmy slinks in at night and performs a rescue of Aerys that Qui Gon Jinn would've been envious of.

      I actually think it might be Barristan, because if I remember correctly, when he died in Season 5 there was a lot of controversy surrounding that decision and even the actor disagreed with his death because the character is still alive in the books. And since Winds of Winter is supposedly going to open up with the Siege of Meereen taking the main focus at the beginning, I can see some kind of plot twist being intertwined during the chaos of that whole affair. But Margaery as well would be another candidate for the plot twist. If anything she may not die like in the show and may survive the Green Trial and have the full force of Highgarden and the Reach rally for her to take down Cersei.

Maybe when his body was discarded it was somehow captured and turned into one of the Others. I'm not sure how well that would work with the books as I've seen the show but only read the beginning of AGOT. I personally really like the idea of Aerys being both the ice and fire as well as him being the true big baddie of the story. He would also be the one already dead character George is talking about.

    My guess is Littlefinger revealing his lengths of debt collection actually swaying members of even Northern Houses like the Manderlys, getting in the way of the Northern Conspiracy would be an amazing twist to involve the Vale in re-taking the North in a way that makes WAY more sense instead of "Sansa sent a letter and they saved them at the last second in the Battle of the Bastards."
    Stannis is the reason why Littlefinger has no interest in the North at present, he has the key to Winterfell in Sansa, so it's MARKETEDLY in his interest to ruin BOTH the Boltons and Stannis, so two birds in one fell swoop, using his swathes of debts owed to him from houses, especially the Manderlys, make me think Davvos is going to be betrayed, AGAIN, by House Manderly. (oh they played double agent sure, but it's all posturing to rescue the heir from the Lannisters).
    Honesty, I can't WAIT to see Stoneheart TEAR through all of House Fray. Black Walder is a character I want to see in my mind's eye dangling from a tree with his toes kicking out.

    • @johnnyskinwalker4095
      @johnnyskinwalker4095 4 года назад

      If I remember it right on the show, when Baelish put Sansa with the Boltons, he said to Sansa that Stannis must be there shortly and then he went to King's Landing to ask Cersei if she would support his attack on Winterfell. So I think he planned to do what he did during the Battle of the Bastards but with the war between Stannis and the Boltons, like wait till they are exausted and attack. Only this time, attack back camps. And bring Sansa with him to place her at Winterfell.

    Pyat Pree
    Xaro Xhoan Daxos
    Mance Rayder
    Barristan Selmy
    Shireen Baratheon
    Hizdahr zo Loraq

    Meryn Trant
