Does anyone have a link to a quality Game of Thrones map? I've googled and found plenty of maps, but none to my liking.
if you scroll down a bit there is a map you can click to blow up. Its very detailed. http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/ask-the-maester-braavos-the-faceless-men-westerosi-religion-the-sansa-gambit-and-more/ EDIT: added the map for you Spoiler
Finally the leak has caught up to the show, looking forward to getting back on here! So thoughts on who made it out of that last 10 minutes?
Well, this season is officially off-the-rails. I don't think any book readers can spoil much for you guys now
I pushed my wife out of a moon door. That freed up a lot of time right there. I also gave her kid to some chump who's going to the work of raising him. Huge time saver.
That was intense. I thought for sure the Unsullied would be better fighters with their training and weapons. They got rocked the Harpy street gang. And I love how there is always a payoff with the red woman. Sure she babbles about the lord of light, but she makes it worthwhile.
Kind of hilarious that after all this time, so many book readers are STILL unable to separate the book from the TV series, and basically aren't able to fully enjoy the show because of the deviations from the source material. Seriously, what are you expecting at this point? So many people melting down on twitter over an EXCELLENT hour of television. (I've read the books)
They are bred for unit open field combat; the Harpy caught them in small numbers in street alleys/tight spaces. They kick ass in war battles.
It's just that pretty much everything in tonight's episode was a deviation from the book. If you really want more specifics: (These shouldn't really affect the show plot going forward since we're past the point of deviation, but as always, reader be ware.) Sub-spoilers included. Spoiler Sansa Spoiler Pretty much where we left Sansa last season is where the books have stopped telling her story. In the book, we don't really know what happens after Littlefinger kills off Lysa and becomes Lord Protector of the Vale. He does want to marry Sansa off to help her claim on Winterfell, but it's to a knight who is the presumptive heir to the sickly Robert Arryn. The encounter between Brienne and Sansa never happens in the book. They merged her storyline with another. Spoiler In the books, the Boltons scheme to have Ramsay marry Arya to secure their hold on the north. Of course, Arya's not even in Westeros. They have another girl, Jeyne Poole, who was once a friend of Sansa's at Winterfell, pretend to be Arya. They then make Theon, since he was a Stark ward and knew the Starks well, bear witness that it is in fact Arya so that others will believe everything to be legit. Theon even gives away Fake Arya at the wedding. Jaime and Bronn Spoiler Never go to Dorne. Bronn is not a major character in the books and after he takes his knighthood and marries Lollys Stokeworth, little is heard about him. In fact, he doesn't train Jaime after he loses his hand. That was done by Ser Illyn Payne, the executioner who cut off Ned Stark's head. In the books, Jaime is away on some other task that they're probably going to omit from the show. This could be, and probably is being, merged with another storyline. But it's a little unclear at this point. I won't say anything more about that. Grey Worm and Ser Barristan Selmy Spoiler Though there is a conflict between Dany and the Sons of the Harpy, this specific altercation doesn't occur in the books. Their potential deaths are something completely new for the show. Both are still alive in the books, never having been injured in some battle. In fact, Selmy was a POV character in the last book, "Dance With Dragons", and is supposed to be a POV character in the next book "Winds of Winter".
Just came in here to say what the f***! I've been pretty excited about the book deviations up to this point, but they just offed two badass characters for shock value. Grey Worm in all honesty is a replaceable character, but I'm going to miss the old man. He was full of history and was somewhat of a bridge between Dany and her deceased family. Totally blindsided by this...probably exactly why they did it. Not sure I'm okay with it all just yet, but I'm curious to see where this is going. So many changes.
