Game of Thrones Season Five! No Spoilers Please!

"KILT (killed). Slowly, by omission."

 

"DINKLES IS MY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!"
Love it!

 

OK, thanks...so 55 minutes is about right.

 

DAMN! me too!

 

Here's another person I've wondered about:
In Season Two, in Qarth, there was a woman who's face was totally covered in a weird mask.
I wonder if we'll ever see her again.
I ask because the shape of the pieces on her face look a little like the neckless the Red Woman has.

 

fabulous opener! The Dragons are pissed!...Snow's compassion was touching.

 

I've always been fascinated by that character too. She's appeared twice, I believe. Good eye picking up the similarity between her mask and Melisandre's necklace as that is intentional. In the commentary for one of the episodes where she appears, the creators talk about how they redesigned her mask (in the book its simply a wooden mask, I think) to make a connection between her and Melisandre. They both come from Asshai, in the far east of Essos.

 

That 'mask' is just TOO COOL to let it go, just like that!
To paraphrase "Beetleguise" : "What's going on under there? ... Are you all 'Night Of The Living Dead' under there?"

 

I read the books and it´s also not clear there. Also I just watched the fourth season on BD and there is a special about the more common characters who died in season four and The Hound was not mentioned at all. So I would think chances are quite high we will see him again in the show...

 

Oh I think it's clear in the books. But as the thread title forbids spoilers, I don't want to say more.

 

Also... I wonder what's goin' on with The Mountain?

 

That's another thing that book readers might have a potential insight, but would be inappropriate to post on this thread.

 

I cannot recall anything different as seen on the show: The Mountain begs Arya to kill him, but she refuses and leaves him alone to die. I think he cannot be dead, because otherwise Georg R.R. Martin would not leave it like that. And of course The Mountain had to appear on that special feature if he would be really dead, but he just didn´t...

 

That was also in the first episode. You see where he is and that some kind of blood transfusion takes place; you get a little bit more insight in the books, but really not that much...

 

You mean The Hound.

 

You're probably right then. I just hope they give a good explanation for how her survives. He was already weaked from infection from the bite attack, and then with a compound fracture leaving him bleeding and immobile, its hard to see how he could last very long.

That ex-maester was working on him, and I got the idea he might come back as some sort of super-zombie.

 

what episodes does she appear in?

 

You´re right, of course.

 

She apears in S2 episodes 5 and 7. Her name is Quaithe, though I don't think that name has been given in the TV shows.

thanx

thanx!

 

Two really great quotes from that episode.

 

really want to see a Dragon episode...

 

Any guesses on where Baelish is taking Sansa? He tells people they are going to "The Fingers", which are north of The Eyrie. but Sansa points out they are heading west. Looking at the map and what is in that direction, I'm thinking The Twins. Maybe he plans to take out Walder Frey for killing Catelyn. Or maybe they are going to The Riverlands, which are also west and a hair south.

 

Season 5 opener was okay. Nothing too fantastic, just a bunch of story thread follow ups from the previous season (which is to be expected I suppose). The show feels like it's spread a little thin. The show feels stronger when it focuses on a particular storyline rather then timeshares between half a dozen stories.

 

First episode was good. For a minute I thought John Snow was wimping out. Glad to see he came through.
