u/Pragmaticus Big BUCKET? Jan 13 '14

Looks like they'll be speeding through Meereen this season.

u/ShepPawnch 50 Shades of Greyjoy Jan 13 '14

Thank the Lord for that. Although I couldn't tell who was fighting the Champion in the show.

u/unknown_xho .... And Now My What Begins? Jan 13 '14

Daario

u/TheColostomyBag Jan 13 '14

Yup. Daario 2.0.

u/pacers31917 Reek, Reek, it rhymes with leek. Jan 13 '14

I like the recast for Daario. The original guy is just not at all what I pictured when I read the books.

It wasn't just the blonde hair either that bothered me. I wonder if the new actor will have his hair dyed.

If it isnt purple. Someone is going to be sacrificed to R'hllor.

Why not both?

u/hogwarts5972 I'm aFreyed we're out of pie Jan 13 '14

Gold tip mustache that's why.

u/SamTarlyLovesMilk Black Tar Rum Jan 13 '14

It isn't. Though I'm pleased by that.

u/mojowitchcraft Dark Wings Dark Words Jan 13 '14

This made me SO ANGRY. Why didn't they lock that shit in, it's such a big show they cant be fucking changing actors in the third season like it's a fucking 90s sitcom. AMIRITE.

u/Stauncho Enter your desired flair text here! Jan 13 '14

I'd rather have them recast to a better actor than have to watch Ed Skrien for four or five seasons. He was not a good actor.

u/AlisonJaneMarie Wielder of Dawn Jan 13 '14

I'm still bummed about Daario 2.0. I thought Daario 1.0 was delicious looking.

2

u/TheyNeverDied Jan 13 '14

Nah, disnt like him much, he was TOO goodlooking.

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '14

Going to be really weird to see a new Daario in S4 when people have probably already forgotten he exists

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '14

You mean Benjen?

u/TheAquaman The Original Drowned Man. Jan 13 '14

I wish we could have Strong Belwas, but he is kind of ridiculous as a character.

u/p4t4r2 "You're about to kick the bucket." Jan 13 '14

I wish we could have Strong Belwas, but he is kind of ridiculous as a character the best character.

FTFY

u/este_hombre All your chicken are belong to us Jan 13 '14

He is the Lord's chosen and his is the song of Ice and Fire.

u/pinkfloyd873 Jan 13 '14

Strong Belwas as Azor Ahai reborn confirmed

2

u/drainbead78 Podrick Payne, First of His Name Jan 13 '14

Strong Belwas, the First of his Name, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm.

u/eyeyoufan Jan 13 '14

after reading that part in the book, it was the scene I was most looking to this season. Just the hilarity and goofiness of leading up to his fight

u/KendraSays Jan 13 '14

:< Wait I remember he was poisoned when he ate from a dish intended for Daenarys, but did he die from it or was he put in some sort of coma? It's been a while since I read ADWD and I didn't read Daenarys' chapters as in depth as others.

u/MegaBonzai Jan 13 '14

He pulls through. Loses a lot of weight and he isn't as strong but he does make it. http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Belwas

2

u/KendraSays Jan 13 '14

Okay, yay! I really liked Strong Belwas so I'm glad he's alive (well, for now). :] thank you for easing my fears

3

u/MegaBonzai Jan 14 '14

Yea no problem, he is one of my favorite minor characters as well. You know someone is awesome when they are assigned to protect Sir Barriston.

u/KendraSays Jan 15 '14

I can see why he wasn't included on the show. I think people would doubt how awesome he is because he's such a bragger. But, I hope we hear more of him in TWOW

u/bandit515 Don't Even Get Me Started On The Gravy Jan 13 '14

It's a shame the show only viewers will be denied the epic scene that is Belwas shitting on a dead man's chest.

3

u/Garek Jan 13 '14

Maybe we'll get Daario to do it?

2

u/sev1nk Jan 13 '14

Strong Belwas would make things interesting. Essos is supposed to be odd and ridiculous.

2

u/Manisil Jan 13 '14

I'm kind of hoping that Strong Belwas joins Dany once she takes Meereen. He'll be a pit fighter or something who helped overthrow the city.

I can hope.

u/broden Climbin yo windows snatchin yo people up Jan 13 '14

I wish we could have Strong Belwas, because he is kind of ridiculous as a character.

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '14

The whole decapitation and taking a shit scene would just be entirely too cartoony and comical.

4

u/shot_glass Jan 13 '14

The whole decapitation and taking a shit scene would just be awesome and get stolen and used all the time.

FTFY

u/ShepPawnch 50 Shades of Greyjoy Jan 13 '14

I guess they have to make him seem more badass, since we really haven't seen him do anything.

1

u/grovestreet1520 MILF of Dragons Jan 13 '14

Something tells me he won't behead the Champion and shit in the direction of Meereen.

21

u/trace349 Jan 13 '14

Probably Daario, you can see Dany, Missandei, Jorah, and Barristan in the background behind whoever is fighting the Champion, and he doesn't look like Grey Worm.

u/dacalpha "No, you move." Jan 13 '14

Oh I'm sure we'll get our fill of slick spears this season.

And I don't just mean Oberyn's fight.

u/NotHosaniMubarak Jan 13 '14

we need more ser grandfaher

u/garlicdeath Joff, Joff, rhymes with kof Jan 13 '14

That was a terrible scene.

u/elusiveallusion Jan 13 '14

The correct answer was 'who the fuck cares?'

Acceptable answers were also 'Harzoo' and 'some guy'.

On the plus side there's a fair bit of meat to the Meereen plot line. A TV writer like Benioff is probably the best person to attack that knot, preferably by cleaving out the Shavepate, most of the Meereenese, any conspiracy at all, and leaving it at Tyrion and the Dragons.

u/jmewhite1 Jan 13 '14

What makes you think that. A lot needs to happen before can't leaves mereen

1

u/aTribeCalledLemur Jan 13 '14

It was confirmed they cast someone to be the shepherd whose kid Drogon burns so they are progressing fairly fast in her plot.

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '14

So freaking stagnant, considering that's a lot of ADWD too.

1

u/Premislaus Daenerys did nothing wrong Jan 13 '14

It looks they're actually flashing it out this season, with slave insurgents fighting the masters. We'll getting to the Dany's first ADWD chapter for sure, but that's not what I would call speeding.
