Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Yeah they're both pretty bad. Last Daario was a smug and cocky dude and this guy is just like a regular person. The Mountain is huge, but he doesn't look sinister as fuck like the first guy. The nailed it with Oberyn though. Dude is great in his role.

When I was a kid, I really liked the David Eddings books. Littlefinger looks *exactly* on the show how I pictured Kheldar/Silk. Wish they'd make a TV show based on that.
And yeah, I imagined they didn't show his home simply because of the production costs that are better used elsewhere rather than on a 48 second scene saying "Hey I came from this shitty village." They did a good job establishing that with the dialogue about his home, and his conversation with his whores.

If you'll notice there's been a pretty big lack of CGI this season, wonder if they spent it all on the invasion with all the giants and shit

I know, I've seen behind the scenes set stuff. I still think they are using significantly less than past seasons.

There are references made to Littlefinger's humble beginnings scattered throughout the seasons. I remember this quote from Varys a season or two ago, "Littlefinger is one of the most dangerous men in Westeros. He was born with no lands, no money and no army. Now he has the first two, how long before he has an army?"

And it'll probably end up being Sansa's fucking army in book 7 that reinforces the Targs/Wall/Bran/Whatever against the Others.

He was in King's Landing at the time. He had nothing to do with the attempt to finish off Bran.

I really do think the Others/walkers have a significant chunk to add to the story other than being frost zombies.
All throughout the story, we hear about Aegon the Conqueror, and all the dragon shit, but it's not till Old Nan's shit is expounded with Bran Matrix-ing into the weirwoods that we start to get a better idea of what/who the Others really are. Plus, it would cheap to just make them magical ice zombie monsters.

You really think Dany is the villain? Not saying you're wrong, that's interesting. Really never thought of the endgame plot as being anything other than Humans vs Others. Everything in between in the drama.
edit: As Kreugen just pointed out in the non-spoiler thread, I guess they forgot to explain that Joff was behind the knife attack on Bran.
I think there's a good chance she might be; although nothing like Maleficent or Bal Mora. I get the gist that when the dust settles, all magic, everything, will be wiped from the world and the seasons become like ours.
If the endgame is simply that the Others/walkers are bad, why go through all this horse shit with the north, when all you really need to do is focus on Dany, KL and the dragons?

There's a lot of different ways it could go, but this shit is a song of ice and fire. It's probably going to be R'hllor + dragons vs iceBros with humans between. The other's motivation is unknown at this point, but it could either be 'kill all humans' 'get off my lawn' or 'holy shit Daenarys turned heel and now we need a giant army to stop her oh hey look others are here to help'.
