[Spoilers] ASOIAF Book Readers GoT Show Discussion Thread

[Palooza]

Shae

One of my biggest fears is that the show will do away with the Shae-in-Tywin's-bed scenario and have her be sent off, to which Tywin's "where ever whores go" is in reference to Shae and not Tysha, turning Shae into Tysha as Tyrion ventures off to escape/find her.

Howevaaaaa, they seem to be going along the lines of the book. Where as her deception is out of left field (because we only see Tyrion's POV with her), the show is adding a dynamic where there is an obvious divide. Her death is necessary and Tyrion spends a good amount of time asking "Where do whores go?" looking for Tysha, his true love, not Shae. Here is where we run into Ser Jorah.

this reddit theory about benjen being daario is nuts. so benjen hears about dany marrying drogo, leaves the nights watch, becomes a sell sword, dicks around for a few years, finally meets up with her as daario, tries to gain her trust and eventually plows, tries to get her to do the essos version of the red wedding and then becomes a captive of the yunkai. all so he can tell dany jon is the son of rhaegar and lyanna, thus making jon a relation (her nephew i guess).

selmy trying his damnedest to get daario back after his capure also leans towards this theory, but god damn, this shit is nuts lol...

That's like the most tinfoil/running joke theory on the asoiaf subreddit. I enjoy the Dany slowly going crazy one a lot. The precedent for mental illness (her father) is there. She also is constantly referring to herself as the dragon. One theory even as Barristan killing her a la Jaime because he recognizes the madness.

I've spent an embarrassing amount of time reading theories on there but a lot of them are really good and make some sense. Another one I like is Coldhands as The Nights King.

And also the Cleganebowl, get hype! That's the GOAT theory.

I enjoy the Rickon theories, personally.

Have either of your guys read the actual Dunk and Egg books? I would really like to, despite having already poured over most of the corresponding Wiki pages.

Nope, but I plan to before or after I re-read the series sometime before tWoW comes out. I am very disappointed in my knowledge in Westerosi history. I can do most of the current characters and their histories, but once we get down the Targ history, I get lost.
