shapinglightJust watched this and...
Spoilers
No idea whether it even matters now whether I'm clueless about the books or not.
Anyway, I thought it was very exciting, am glad that Grey Worm isn't dead (probably), am wondering who the hell that woman is who seems to be working for the blokes in the golden masks. Am also wondering just when Cersei's idiotic decision to empower a bunch of nasty religious fanatics will come back to bite her in the arse (soon, please let it be soon). Likewise hoping that Ser Loras won't end up horribly dead and (and never expecting to think this) hoping that Littlefinger arriving back in Kingslanding will alter the balance in favour of the pro-brothel, yay!wine party (even though Littlefinger is still a git).
What else am I wondering?
Oh yes, how long will it be till Melisandre takes revenge on Jon for refusing her advances, and (along with Tyrion) whether it'll do poor Jorah a blind bit of good kidnapping Tyrion and presenting him to Dany (doesn't seem likely).
I also have my fingers firmly crossed that the show will allow Sansa to take horrible revenge on the horrible Boltons.
Not that sorry about Ser Barristan. I always saw him as a rival to Jorah. Still, glad he got an heroic death.
Finally, not sure what I think about the Sand Snakes. They're a bit campy, aren't they? I predict that Bronn will have sex with at least one of them. Possibly with all three. And I still think their idea of revenge is grotesque.
Finally, finally, did anyone think Ser Barristan's very Jossian final scene with Dany, which emphasised what a nice bloke Rhaegar Targaryan was, is setting us up for the revelation that Rhaegar never raped Lyanna Stark, who was actually in love with him and Jon Snow is their oddly combustible (if you remember that scene in season 1 where he saved Lord Mormont from the zombie?) son?
Just me, then.

Date: 2015-05-06 05:27 pm (UTC)We should know pretty soon if they're going that route.
Connington is a character left out of the show. He's an exhiles Weserosi knight loyal to the Targaryens who travelled with Tyrion prior to Tyrion being kidnapped by Jorah.
It's hard to say all of Conningtons story purpose because it hasn't all played out and was ongoing at the end of Dance with Dragons. It would basically hang a permanent sword of Damocles over Jorah's head, though, which you wouldn't like. It might ensure he gets to invade Westeros though as that was what Connington was doing last we saw him ( not that Jorrah was faring much better as he was heading into battle last we saw him).
Dance ended with a bunch of cliffhangers.

Date: 2015-05-06 06:44 pm (UTC)I wonder if GRRM has written down the rest of the plot in bullet points, just in case he decides one day that it's just too much trouble to write it all out?
I don't mind Jorah invading Westeros, I suppose, but I'd rather he stayed near(ish) to Dany.
Unless that means he ends up dead, of course. Which it could. :(
