I normally don't like prequel but Robert's Rebellion is a good story that I would love to watch.. as a single season story.

First Eps - introduces the main character in happiness in their homes.. talking about the tournament
Second Eps - the tournament and kidnapping
Third Eps - The Stark response and punishment
Fourth Eps (Trumpet Call) - Call to arms.. gathering forces. I can see Stannis in this scene.. would be pretty good
Fifth Eps (Siege) - Siege of Stormlands and Robert escape
Sixth (Feast or fanine)- Davos smuggles.. Stannis justice. John, Robert and Ed goes to Tully and get their support .. Ned force to marry
Seventh (Trident) - Battle of the Trident
Eight (Kingslayer) - Sacking King Landing (Kingslayer)
Ninth (-Tower of Joy
Tenth - Result of the war (Robert being force to marry Cersi)

.. just some thoughts..

Oh and if we want a second season .. then jump time and tell the story of Greyjoy rebellion.

Ambres, that is quite good, and very "doable" if we limit the peripheral characters and storylines.

I suspect that they would be tempted to add Cersei with the wood witch, events at the Wall, etcetera ... making it unmanageable.

GRRM may have told HBO that Aegon is a false dragon, but he could also decide to increase his role in the books just to throw a curveball at readers.

Yep I caught that, too. I giggled.

well that 2nd Ep - the tourney and the kidnapping were like a year apart.....and they had no known contact in the interim. In the meantime Rhaegar and Elia had a son, Prince Aegon.

I suppose you could still do that but it might be better to simply have the tournament there. And have the kidnapping start Ep. 3.

Dang, I was really hoping for the warging into Ghost.

Why do people want Jon Snow to all the sudden warg into animals? Bran does it and that's cool, but Jon is a badass with a sword already, no need for him to warg into an animal. I expect he is far more likely to ride a dragon than warg into a direwolf or dragon.

---

Because he does it in the books subconsciously and I'd like to see the fire wolves have more of a presence in the show.

Tired of Melisandre.

I would love to see a prequal season

based on released future episode descriptions my bet is we get the TOJ tonight but not R+L=J.

tonight says: Bran meets the past;

in 2 weeks the episode descriptions says: Bran learns a great deal;

Can't say I'm surprised at all.

Doubtful. They just brought him back. And the 3 eyed Raven has warned Bran about staying too long. TOJ will get a couple episodes I'm sure.

Episode ends with Ned in the room with Lyanna in her"bed of blood". Its focusing on a crying baby with black hair, and then cuts to Jon Snow on the wall, then episode ends

I think it's more likely simply the exterior Tower of Joy scenes with no super significance attributed to it (sorta like last weeks flashback scene). Just setting the stage for the reveal later.

I think you get the backstory of why they are going there - Rhaegar has Lyanna - and then the confrontation and battle of the knights with only Ned and Howland surviving and then they proceed to the TOJ but its cut before they even go in, or right after they go in, but no Lyanna shown or briefly but not obviously pregnant. Something like that.

Also....just thinking since they introduced the speaking pre whatever Hodor....any chance Hodor on the TV series is also at the TOJ and sustains his injuries there???? He wasn't there in the books, but just wondering if that might be some literary license since GRRM hasn;t really given any Hodor backstory.

So, how broken is the internet when one of the actors at the Tower of Joy scene looks like this?

What time does the show go 'live' on HBO Now?

quote:

---

I'd say Hodor being at the TOJ is highly unlikely.

---

yeah it's a reach for sure. just curious about his backstory now.

i guess even in the leaked TOJ shots you never saw him. so nah. highly unlikely.

i just wonder under what context now that we will see it. because i don't know any reason to show other backstories that don't relate to Lyanna, Ned, TOJ, etc....except I guess if Bran is just curious.

I think that particular scene will end with the fighting and then hearing Lyanna call for Eddard like in the books. Probably show Ned and Howland running for the Tower. The books have only stated that she was lying in her own blood. Its always been assumed that it was from giving birth, but not stated. They won't show her tonight unless they plan to reveal everything. Showing proof of a pregnancy all but confirms that Jon is the child.

Every other time the term "bed of blood" has been used in ASOIF, it is clearly referring to childbirth. Mirri Maz Duur says it. So does Randall Tarly. There are a couple other uses. It's always about childbirth.

Respect the Game; its show time

Although I'm a little peeved they had 6v2 instead of 7v3.

****ing few direwolves left. I'm curious how many died trying to kill Sh****Dog

Still think the Umber's are pulling some sort of con, and that isn't Sh****Dog's head. Could just be wrong, though.

We can only hope. It was a rather small head
