The disgraced maester said "the work continues".. referring to Zombie Mountain... oh.. you winked.. got it.

Robert Strong = The Mountain... erm.. most likely

remember, from the books?

I read it and I don't agree. That approach does work a lot better for TV but for the books where chapters are mostly POV, it wouldn't make sense. Of course with only two books to go, that will change and we will see more of them.

By the way, did anyone else notice the foreshadowing of who is going to rescue Cersei and the others in the Sparrow's prison? Sounds like Zombie Mountain is going to wreck some sh!t, likely in the final episode.

So you are thinking that they will break from the Books in this plot line as well?

I remember hearing Lena Hedley was not very happy about potentially acting out the scene Cersei goes through in the books. Could it be she won that battle with producers? Such a strong scene in the books. It would be tough for them to recapture the all the feels from that one on screen...

It's "Headey" and I don't know what her problem is. She's shown bush in prior films.

I highly doubt there will be two more books. Just saying. :)

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

I can only take him at his word and say there will be only two more.

The pressure to finish may make it so that he just wants to more on to write other stuff.

So I think we are done with 7.... maybe 8 tops... lol!

The water was hot but not boiling. Who doesn't like a hot bath?
Dragon fire is magical and not normal fire. They can burn her if they want to.
Her brother died from the heat of melted gold. His brain got fired.
One of the dragons gave her heat blisters just by breathing next to her (in the books).

She can die from fire, she is not fireproof 24/7.

And the burning warlocks tower?

Oh.. Cersei is going to take that walk.. has to. Now.. how much they show.. crafty editing.. I dunno. She has already portrayed getting dogged by her brother and ordering a child tossed out a window... what's a little full frontal nudity?

Spoilers so dont read below if you don't like them


But the TV show is only ahead in some parts. In the books for example Dany is already landed in the storm land and taken a castle. Jon Snow is dead. Sam Tarly leaves the wall to become a maester, Brienne and her squire are dead etc. Also GRRM said the books are the books and the tv show is the tv show so they will be different. We can see that with the Margarie Tyrell & Jamie Lannister.

LOL, none of that is true btw. He is just trolling.

She definitely takes the walk, bush included.
TMZ posted about it last year (earlier in the year). HBO was having problems getting one of the churches to sign off on it where the scene was filmed (Prague or somewhere else, can't exactly remember). I believe they had to make a small "donation" to get it approved.

Well.. part of it is true... but not the big stuff he says. I am a bit surprised that Sam is still at Castle Black... as well as the baby issue related to that. Thought they would have covered that by now. So that has me wondering if Sam is going anywhere in the TV show.

Good article. For someone who is a long time reader since the beginning, has been to Dubrovnik multiple times, and literally read the last 3 books while lounging on Zlatni Rat, the Croatia/Game of Thrones link is just weird.
