cobra_commanderbengin is not cold hands - he is dead and irrelevant - like all the other people who you thought were relevant and then died suddenly. Thats what makes the story so good - People aren't special - there isn't some underlying narrative that drives who lives and dies.
Mr.LemonPieHow come we haven't seen Bran this season?
frosted_flakesThe producers announced before the season started that Bran wouldn't be in it because his storyline is caught.
But speaking of Bran, he has to be one of 3 dragon riders including Dany, right? The three eyed raven tells him he'll never walk again, but he will fly. So I think he's either going to be a dragon rider or he's going to use his special power to control a dragon.
Here's a link on another theory about the 3 riders possibly being Dany, Jon, and Tyrion: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/game-thrones-season-5-will-jon-snow-tyrion-lannister-daenerys-be-three-dragon-riders-1453955
I love the theory about the title alluding to Jon Snow because he is lord commander of the night's watch and also has the name 'snow' (ice), but he also has Targaryen blood (fire).
Can't wait to see what happens.
SKI.INGAnd I can say this since it's never confirmed in the books either, Benjen Stark is rumored to be Coldhands, a character that in the show hasn't shown up yet, or was cut due to insignificance.
EthanH*GRRM is bound to kill off a main character soon though, so i'm nervous to see who he will off.
scratchproteen*crosses fingers* please kill jamie lanister and sam tulley.
Wheaty214As long as they don't kill off Tyrion, Jon, Bronn, or Arya I'll be fine.
RAMSEY NEEDS TO FUCKING DIE THOUGH FOR REAL
Barefootin_Fiendyou do realize that this makes them the most likely characters to die....tyrion, jon, bronn, and arya. it's pretty much SOP for GoT....like a character? dead. hate a character? 5 seasons strong....
Wheaty214Yes I know... I thought Jon was going to end up dying last episode, but his Valyrian Steel sword must have dragon glass in it. Jon and Tyrion have a lot of shit to do, so does Arya. I think Bronn would be the most likely to die but I really hope he doesn't.
BenWhitdon't ask me how i know that.
VinnieFbecause you read it?
DeebieSkeebiesno thanks, the constant promotion of rape culture and incest in that show should be enough for people to stop watching that misogynist drek.
Wheaty214As long as they don't kill off Tyrion, Jon, Bronn, or Arya I'll be fine.
RAMSEY NEEDS TO FUCKING DIE THOUGH FOR REAL
katie.But for real, how many times can GRRM and the writers rip viewers' hearts out and expect us to be okay with it? (Answer: probably more than we care to admit).
frosted_flakesIsn't the uncertainty kind of what makes it great? I'd be disappointed if there wasn't that threat.
On that note I predict Arya will die next, "she is not ready", which is sad because she is my favorite character and I love the duo of Ja'quen H'ghar and Arya, but he might be sending her on a suicide mission. Just hope she pulls it out and shoves it in that stupid blonde girl's face.
VinnieFyou kidding? Jamie Lannister is probably the best character in the whole series by the end of A Dance With Dragons.
SKI.INGThere are even more instances of clever writing from the books where a character appears dead, but in fact isn't.
scratchproteenNope I'm not, he was cool with two hands, but I hate him one-handed.
SKI.INGHe's a lot more interesting in the books.
CirilloThe hound comes to mind here.
Mr.LemonPieEh I'd say kind of the opposite, everyone thought he was alive when he was actually dead cus people were wearing his helmet.
LSH, Beric Dondarrion, Arya, Bran, Rickon, they are all presumed dead but alive, along with others I'm missing for sure.
CirilloWhen Brienne visits the quiet isle there's a huge man digging graves there and his horse stranger, which was said to obey no one but the hound, was in the stable.
SKI.INGHe's a lot more interesting in the books. Show Jamie is wearing thin on me. But it's really irrelevant since the show has taken such a different path so who knows. They milk Tyrion wayyyyy too much. He's become a crutch for the show.
scratchproteenI bet he is way more interesting in the books, I just have a hard time getting behind a character that is supposed to be an elite swordsman in westeros who only has one hand. I feel like he should hang it up and hang out in one of little fingers whore houses for his remaining days.
Tyrion is weird for me, I started off hating him, then I really liked him, now I feel like no matter what happens he is invincible and as someone in this thread said earlier you can tell he must be GRRM's favorite character as he seems to weasel out of every deathly situation. I want to root for him, but in the back of my head all I can think of is how can a dwarf/midget/little person survive this long in this world?
Also, since I haven't read the books maybe someone could hint at it for me (you can PM me if you want to avoid spoilers for others) But does Melisandre have a big roll to play here? As far as I know she can shoot black shadows out of her vagina...but its been forever since shes done something

KZASure he could warg into one
KZASure he could warg into one but he is not a head of the dragon.
Cirillowhen was the last time Nymeria was even mentioned?
CirilloAnother thing the show really dropped the ball on. They really don't even touch on the fact the rest of the Starks have some level of warg in them. The direwolves aren't even relevant this season. We saw ghost for 30 lame seconds and when was the last time Nymeria was even mentioned?
swordsandpensWell it was confirmed before this season even started there would be none of Brans storyline in it. I don't think they are disregarding it, rather waiting for the right season to focus more heavily on him as right now it would throw another storyline into the mix and become too cluttered.
ObiWanKablowmeYeah I was lucky enough to go see Hodor's "Rave of Thrones" Tour while he was off from filming due to this. It was awesome

CirilloI knew they were done with Bran's storyline, but they still disregard Ghost and Nymeria. They also ignore that Jon and Arya show signs of being wargs too.
SKI.INGI just can't wait for this next episode. One of my favorite parts from the books.
ANDR01DHOLY FUCKING SHIT, BEST EPISODE EVER!!!
scratchproteenSome crazy shit is gonna happen with stannis/melisandre/boltons/ramsay.
