this promo pic is giving me Lady Stoneheart vibes.
I'd be amazed if they manage to sneak Michelle Fairley in to film an episode and kept it quiet.

I don't think you'll be seeing Brienne with Lady Stoneheart anytime soon, that doesn't happen until the end of AFFC, which could be several seasons away since they'll probably weave AFFC and ADwD back together somehow.
Eh, I don't think that is a good argument to make. I don't see how they can make AFFC & ADWD more than 1 season and stick to their 7-8 total season plan. Next season is going to cover all of AFFC/ADWD IMO.
That's only the TV show. In the books he put all the blame on Amory Lorch who had already been killed. He wanted to keep Gregor. Which is one of the reasons Oberyn agreed to be Tyrion's champion, to fight the Mountain.
Not even close. They will follow the chronological order of AFFC / ADWD and jump between the East and Westeros. There is no way they are covering all that in a single season. I would imagine Arya is going to get significantly more screen time once she leaves for Braavos, thankfully (she is my favorite character in the book, after GoT, and in the show).
I wonder if we are going to get to see cersei's walk of shame this season? Lena headey hasn't shown the good in the show at all has she?

You don't have to be a "closet book reader" to speculate as you hang out here all the time.
That and you obviously are one.
Shea :whiste:
Still can't believe I caught all that grief over that one and saying weddings are interesting.
Why you're able to still post there beyond me.
True. But he doesn't attempt to stop Cersei from naming the Mountain as her champion knowing that it would be possible that Oberyn would be Tyrion's champion. Tywin isn't smart enough to realize that Oberyn might volunteer? And that Oberyn poses a big risk to the Mountain?
Maybe that would be giving Tywin too much credit, but he is extremely cunning.
Oberyn is rash, more like a Jaime, whereas Doran Martell is the calculating one (the current head of Dorne, and was the one invited to Kings Landing in the first place), I'm pretty sure Oberyn's move surprised everyone. But even after making the move I'm pretty sure Tywin saw the two most obvious outcomes:
1. Oberyn dies and Dorne cannot do anything about it, effectively stifling the staunchest voice from Martell against Lannister.
2. The Mountain dies and while he would lose a useful tool, Dorne would at least be appeased by the 'justice'
of course, the unexpected happens and both end up dying
and then the unexpected happens again and Qyburn turns Gregor into Robert Strong...
and of course Tywin is already dead anyway, killed via crossbow by his own son while shitting...so obviously he wasn't cunning enough
So maybe I missed it in the books, but wasn't there quite a bit of speculation about what Brienne may have said to Lady Stoneheart to get her life spared? My memory tells me that Brienne and Pod never explicitly met Hot Pie in the books and he never told them Arya was alive. If that's the case, and if we assume that the show changes/additions (that aren't in the books) are accurate (like the Night's King), then would it not make sense that Brienne's last word was "Arya?"

Elvis, he he.Tywin is pretty muc h the Vincent Vega of GoT. He is cool, but taking a shit at the wrong time gets him killed.
