A Song Of Ice and Fire (Spoilers for all Published Books)

[Norah]

Marwyn?

[Norah]

I'm a big Marwyn guy in the books. That guys gonna get up to some shit.

So now that Euron's plan for world domination is out in the open, are there any solid facts from the books that haven't been revealed on the show? I'm not talking theories (so The Grave Digger doesn't count), but real important characters or events that haven't come up in the show that we're all expecting. The only ones I can think of are:

-Lady Stoneheart (and now that Brienne's heading to the Riverlands, I think this is 99% on track for the last scene this season)
-Coldhands (who I thought was all but cut from the series--but with Bran and Meera heading out into the snow, this might be back on the menu)

Others?

The Citadel plot, though we'll likely be getting that in the coming weeks. And Kevan, Pycelle, and the little birds.

[Norah]

Oh yeah, Kevan and Pycelle still have to die.

[Simple Torture]

Oh yeah, Kevan and Pycelle still have to die.

By the end of this season, I bet. But I imagine it'll be Qyburn's doing, not Varys'.

yeah that makes sense

-Coldhands (who I thought was all but cut from the series--but with Bran and Meera heading out into the snow, this might be back on the menu)

There's a shot from one of the trailers of a hooded figure on horseback hitting a wight with a flaming torch,so it certainly fits.

[Norah]

So when is Jon going to run into someone that knows Robb legitimized him and named him heir?

[Norah]

In the show, that is.

[Zantac Junkie]

Oh yeah, Kevan and Pycelle still have to die.

The Manderly plot is still on the docket as well, as is the siege of Riverrun.

[Zantac Junkie]

In the show, that is.

I don't think Robb legitimized him in the show.

[Simple Torture]

Does Jon go ask the Reeds for help and find out about his oarentage there? With Bran leaving the tree, we're running out of ways for him to discover it.

[Norah]

so many questions

[Zantac Junkie]

Does Jon go ask the Reeds for help and find out about his oarentage there? With Bran leaving the tree, we're running out of ways for him to discover it.

I'd say that's the most likely outcome, though perhaps bran still has access to the visions, through other means. The three eyed raven did tell him "it's time for you to become me" when he found out the others were coming.

did this happen?

In the show, that is.

which episode?

[Simple Torture]

If what happens in the Cave on the show is basically what happens in the books, then the supposed Children living on the Isle of Faces become super important, yeah?

-Coldhands (who I thought was all but cut from the series--but with Bran and Meera heading out into the snow, this might be back on the menu)

There's a shot from one of the trailers of a hooded figure on horseback hitting a wight with a flaming torch,so it certainly fits.

Although, the more I think about it, the more I think that the show will make it Benjen who saves them. It's a character we've already met, which meets the shows M.O., and it could be another possible way for Jon to find out about his parentage. If Ned we're going to tell anybody, he (and Lyanna's) only remaining sibling would make sense.

It'd be a shortcut on par with subbing Sansa for Fake Arya (which is a much, much better story) so I could see it, too. Maybe still make it a COTF-resurrected Benjen to carry over some of the supernatural Coldhands stuff?

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

(Sorry if this has been posted already) Now that Brienne is on her way to River Run, are we all assuming she'll eventually find Lady Stoneheart there? Has LS made any appearances in the books beyond the epilogue to ASOS?

In the books, Brienne gets captured by the BwBanners and is confronted by LSH for breaking her oath (she's carrying Lannister steel, after all). Then it's implied that Brienne is going to bring Jaime to answer for his crimes. Am I remembering all of that correctly? It could all conceivably happen on the show this season.
