You're the one angry over breast size and think it's an issue, not me

All three are well cast and all three actors are older than their book counterparts

I am far from angry but Ms.Clarke's breasts only accentuate the look of a fully grown woman.

As long as the actor looks the part and thus age of said character then their age does not matter. Unfortunately Emilia doesn't even appear 18, more like early 20s.

The problem I see is when season 5 comes around and every casual viewer believes she is woefully inadequate to be Queen.

The book of course makes it clear that by then she is at best 15/16 years old and is making the decisions as a teenager, by the end of book five she is meant to have finally grown up and realised her mistakes.

It is a coming of age story that will have no prior build up, instead she'll only appear imbecilic in comparison to Stannis and Cersei.

Don't get me wrong I love Emilia in the role but I think the writers have done an awful job at preparing her for that change of heart.

She is a dragon not a wolf or lion, the books have shown that she is finally learning to spit fire and spill blood.

This is worrying. I don't see any Greyjoys or Griffs.

Seems like you're still complaining because Clark has breast. If it makes you feel better, there are some young teen girls that develop rather large breast early on

And the show has made it obvious that she's not experienced and naïve due to both her age and upbringing

She is imbecilic, in general. Arguably one of this biggest imbeciles of the show and book

Her story does have build up, her being married off like a prize, turning her position around where she's making Drogo do what she wants, standing up to her brother, realizing the dangers around her, surviving Drogo's death, building an army etc, etc. etc. While the show doesn't capture every aspect of her book-self, it captures well enough

IMO, you probably should re-read the series

Looks good to me. Certainly looks better then the meandering books we got. And no Greyjoys makes me happy. 🙂

You didn't like the viking and pirate badasses? Is that a popular opinion? I didn't know they were hated among book readers.

Also, I've got some bad newz guys. No WoW this year.

I hate them because they have the unexplainable ability to make the plot (which is already crawling at a snails-pace) come to a complete standstill. Euron, I guess, is kinda interesting but that's really all I've enjoyed about that plot. Just wish they cut out the Dorne plot line as well.

As for the book, it's unfortunate but expected.

**** the Greyjoy's. Vile savages. There's nothing remotely badass about them. Asha (and her bookish uncle or whatever) is the only good one of the lot and she's fairly lame in the show anyway.

This was the best bit of the trailer and the only plotline of any interest for me.

That opening shot of

Spoiler:
Tywin's body
shattered me.

I hope they keep it accurate to the books and he epically shits himself and gets hyper rotten.

Charles Dance is too dignified for that. The showrunners love him and would never disgrace Tywin Lannister in such a way.

Go fvck yourself.

Here's the trailer in HD

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152715877082734

A few things to note from that trailer, some of which are probably SPOILERS. Cersie recieves a box from Dorne. In it is a dead viper with Myrcella's necklace in its mouth. This is presumably from the Sand Snakes. After this, the trailer has shots of Jaime and Bronn in Dorne, likely sent there by Cersie to get back Myrcella.

That scene with the dragon coming out of the dark and setting someone on fire is likely Quentyns, though he's probably been cut and replaced with someone else that serves the same purpose of setting the dragons loose.

Also, Jon Snow is curiously absent from the funeral pyre at the wall. Maybe because its his body being burned? This would confirm his death in the books, unless the red woman protects him from the fire.

That wouldn't make much sense since Davos and Stannis are still present though. Maybe Jon is wherever that battle you see him in takes place? That means the pyre scene is Mances, or possibly Maester Aemon (makes more sense since it seems they all gathered out of respect as opposed to the burning cage scene in the books). That means Stannis burns Aemon for his kings blood while Jon is gone, which is phucked.

Speaking of Jons battle, it's likely Hardhome. Its filled with wildlings, and borders the sea. We also have a shot of wildlings and Watch pushing off into the water on the run from something which is probably wights and/or whitewalkers.

Then again, Emilia Clarke has warned for reaction videos. I can only see this really pertaining to Jon. Those present at the pyre are Davos, Stannis, Mellisandre, Alliser Thorne and Janos Slynt. Maybe Jon does get killed, and thats his pyre where he gets reborn as AA. If so, he probably gets betrayed at Hardhome by Thorne and Slynt. This would also mean we dont get Slynts awesome beheading, which would blow since it was good revenge for Ned.

We've also got a shot of (probably) Stannis looking over a map with flayed man sigils placed around. He's probably planning his march on Winterfell vs House Bolton. I don't think they would build that up this season and then put off the battle till next season like the books. Stannis vs Bolton will probably be close to the end of the season.

Also, we've got a scene of Jorah in the slave fighting pits. Later in the trailer, we have Dany, Missandei, Daario, and a forth person in the pits being protected by the Unsullied from slavers. The forth person looks a whole lot like Ser Jorah, which means he gets reunited with Dany this season. With the griffs cut, that makes spending much time on Tyrions voyage pointless. Varys is still sending Tyrion to Dany. He probably gets taken by Jorah quickly during his voyage, they get captured, and then separated as opposed to being kept together like in the book. Jorah gets sent to the pits and Tyrion does whatever he usually does.

The scene where Missandei kisses Grey Worm is also worrying. In it, Grey Worms eyes are open, but they're blankly staring at her forehead and he doesn't move. Grey Worm is likely dead.

Also, Sansas bathtub scene! Shes legal now, so hopefully we get her in all her naked glory. hnnnngggg

Victarion would eat Brienne, to be fair.

He would then best her in martial combat.

Pfft, nah. What's Victarion done, beaten up some random Tyrell and taken a ship? Oh and beaten his wife to death, lets not forget about that heroic detail. Brienne > the Hound + Loras as well as any other knight Renly had. She'd teabag him, bro.

Oh I see, you thought I was referring to the show. Where Victarion doesn't exist.

Sort of a stupid move on your part.

I like the Ironborn more than Daenery's plot.

*shrugs*

Agreed with this. Victorion and Euron are awesome, and much more interesting to read than Dany.

I'm referring to both. You kind of have to, cuz otherwise you just said that a guy who doesn't exist and hasn't done anything impressive would beat the best fighter in the show, which is idiotic and nonsensical.

It's even funnier because you're serious.

Brienne could barely beat a feverish Sandor Clegane while she was wielding a Valyrian steel sword. Similarly, you of course know she only beat Jaime when he was shackled and weakened from his stint as a prisoner. Seems Brienne only fights people who matter (Loras doesn't matter) when they're not in top form. I wonder why that is? 🙂

Going by books alone, Brienne was overpowered and nearly killed by a fat unarmed cannibal. Victarion mauls her with contemptuous ease.

yeah she should have spent weeks nursing him back to health, complete with spoon feeding and bubbly sponge baths before fighting him. coward.
