It's amazing how few of the characters in GoT are actually played by Actors. Daenerys isn't, Hot Pie isn't, Greg Clegane isn't, Drogo wasn't and so on...

they may have had day jobs, but all these people answered the casting call. so they wanted to be actors before they got the job.

Woosh.

Look up what "retcon" means.

Click to expand...

(in a film, television series, or other fictional work) a piece of new information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events, typically used to facilitate a dramatic plot shift or account for an inconsistency.

Anybody else find Jon talking over the scene when they're preparing for war to be super out of place?
have they overlayed somebody talking in the show before that scene?

He still exists in the books and never existed in the show. Therefore, it's a difference and not a retcon

which would make the entire conversation about robert strong NOT a retcon.

here's the conversation... robert strong IN THE BOOKS is the reanimated corpse of the mountain. in the show, they simply did away with the alias side plot for simplicity's sake. in the BOOK, the hints are that they sent the mountain's head to dorne after he died, and that robert strong took a vow of silence, doesn't eat or sleep or go to the bathroom and when you look into his helm, all you see is blackness. this is to connect the dots for the reader that something is really off about robert strong.

IN THE SHOW, that whole subplot is pointless because we all can see that that dude is CLEARLY the mountian reanimated. so my original comment about ser robert strong being headless is stupid because the helm has to attach to SOMETHING is obviously about the book because we can SEE the mountain's head under his helm and they never mention sending his head to dorne.

so. do you understand now why we are all confused by your input?

Retcon is short for retroactive continuity. The Mountain's identity was never withheld on the show so there was no reason to include the Robert Strong ruse. Also visually it would be pretty fucking obvious who he is. Warrik either thinks retcon is a synonym for change or he doesn't understand what it means.

Daniel is a good example.

He also shot that horror movie, which amounted to featuring just himself by himself throughout the entire movie if I remember correctly-- it was a solo feature.

Except this thread is about the Tv show. There is a separate forum for the BOOK.
The definition of retcon is quite clear. In the show, Robert Strong is the Mountain.

They changed the whole head bullshit. Did away with any mystery of his identity. And yes, he took his helmet off and has a head. If you want to debate the BOOK you might want to go to that thread.

I've never read the books and therefore never heard the name Robert Strong before. By definition that does not make it a retcon in the TV show world. Robert Strong isn't even a thing in the TV show world. You're forcing that in because you've read the books. That name has never even been established. You can't retcon something that was never established.

At about position 27 on my list of posible outcomes:

After the final KL battle and all are dead, ALL, the final battle was brutal. A silence fills the now empty throneroom. After a pause, a nervous Hotpie enters, he see's no other people about. So with a reluctant sigh he steps up and takes the throne.

A voice over then tells of how Hotpie went in to rule for decades and was hailed as Westeros' finest king.

Commonly known as "Fart Zombie Movie"

I just re-watched last weeks episode:

The word Crypt is said 9 times.

Often with the term 'safety' or 'safer in' used to imply how that's such a good place to shelter the non-combatants / and Tyrion.

Hmmm.

It's always a great idea to hide in a crypt from a fucking guy who reanimates the dead just for shits and giggles.
