HodorIpsum - Hodor hodor hodor

also, the first four episode titles of season four have been revealed (don't click if you don't want to be spoiled for anything, obviously).

 

[Carlie]

Spoiler: Season 4 episode 2

"The Lion and the Rose" that sounds to me like Joffrey's and Margaery's wedding which would mean Joffrey is going to die very early in the season, sweetness. Also this is the episode that was written by Martin.

Spoiler: Season 4 episode 2

Also this is the episode that was written by Martin.

As it should be,

HBO Hires Hip-Hop, Latin-Music Artists to Promote 'Game of Thrones'

lame

 

[Carlie]

Daddy Yankee? Is it 2004 again? Ugh.

Spoiler: Dichromatic eyes on Dinklage

which was apparently a try-out for season 1. Guess they didn't go through with it,

edit: Heterochromatic. Apparently.

[Masamune]

So they replaced Bronn as Jaime's sparring partner instead of Ilyn Payne? Yeaaah... that doesn't really make sense but no less than I expected.

 

[Cthulhu]

Eh, I guess I can live with it. Although Payne's silent pwnage is moar awesomer, it is known.

Well, leaving aside his ritual humiliation, Jaime also confesses some of his darkest secrets to Payne during their sparring sessions, safe in the knowledge they won't (or rather, can't) be betrayed. That whole dynamic doesn't work at all with Bronn, unless they're planning to radically alter his character from the unscrupulous mercenary who

abandons Tyrion

, which I sincerely doubt. I know the guy playing Ilyn Payne was unfortunately diagnosed with terminal cancer but HBO are no strangers to recasting characters.

 

[Cthulhu]

I guess part of why I can live with it is that they've changed or plain removed a fuckton of plot shit like that already I don't recognise or remember the originals anymore, so,

Payne is not irreplacable in his role as Jaime's confidante. But Bronn I'm unsure about. Jaime identified with Payne because they're knights, disgraced tho they maybe. Bronn is still just a merc. If they didn't want to recast Payne, I'd rather they used the new Mountain for this scene or something.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Except that the Mountain is a completely horrible human being in every imaginable way, while Bronn is just untrustworthy. Neither of them works anywhere near as well as Ilyn for the simple reason that the whole reason Jaime even told him anything was that he couldn't tell anyone else.

Ilyn wouldn't tell. If he truly desired to go to Tywin with this stuff, he could. He might not be able to write much but surely he can draw. Jaime trusted that Payne didn't give a crap.

 

[Ⓐaron]

That's assuming he can draw anything anyone would be able to puzzle out the meaning of, which, if he can't write, isn't very likely.

Considering their entire culture revolves around identifying their main families through depictions of stags and lions with crowns or no, I disagree. It would take me a minute to come up with a family tree that would make my meaning inmistakeable. And it's not like Payne is a lowranking individual. If he wants to learn how to write, he wouldn't be denied. They'd probably be surprised that it took him this long since he does have duties that require him to give commands and pass along information. Kill people isn't all he does. It ain't like Jaime was planning for Tywin to be out of the picture soon.
