Event Horizon: Flashpoint Transcript: George R. R. Martin

"George_RR_Martin: Granny, thanks for asking that. It gives me a chance to clear up a common misconception. TARGARYENS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE! The birth of Dany's dragons was unique, magical, wonderous, a miracle. She is called The Unburnt because she walked into the flames and lived. But her brother sure as hell wasn't immune to that molten gold."

I like the stuff with Bran but I'm not sure if I like the possible influence on the past. There has been a couple of instances in the past where a character mentions that they hear something or someone in the wind...then we have Ned possibly hearing Bran but the Raven stating that he may have only heard the wind. The mad king also had these types of experiences.

It could be that Bran is going back and "viewing" things but his interactions are somehow gearing the past into what we know as the present. He obviously doesn't know he's doing this, but it's still a cool concept. Who knows, maybe he realizes he can change things, but what if all his tinkering is creating the Westeros that we all know as of now?

 

Well, the show can obviously deviate from the books, or maybe this is just the second miracle for Dany? Another form of magic connected to the Stallion Who Will Mount the World prophecy? Or maybe it just strengthens my brother's theory that Dany is actually the Prince the was Promised, not Jon or Bran or anyone else.

 

Re: immunity to fire, I think GRRM was quoted saying that Targaryens aren't immune to fire instead of addressing Dany specifically, so either she's the exception and he was being purposely vague, or it was a one time thing. That way it wouldn't contradict all the Targs he killed via fire already (tragedy at summerhall for instance).

More simply, it's prob just that the books and show are two separate entities. Like wasn't Dany burned climbing onto Drogon to escape the fighting pits in the book or am I remembering it wrong? Maybe she was just cut up by his scales.

 

Agreed. It has the potential to be very interesting if handled correctly. If he can influence the past, a lot of events in the series itself become free game (Arryn's death, Ned's death, The Red Wedding all come to mind) for him to try and change things. Though, I don't think he'd actually get to change those things.

Though, I think we may get a few more answers regarding Bran this next episode, based on that "next week on..." quick shot of him in front of the army of the dead with the King of Winter.

 

Also just because GRRM says something doesnt mean it's canon to the actual story

 

Who knows. But all those rumors of Jon being a Targaryen should be thrown out of the window when he got burned a couple seasons back. Then again maybe he isn't immune since he is half Stark.

 

Think in that scene the Night's King can actually see and interact with Bran.

 

also this. If the guy answered every question he gets with the truth then there would be no mystery left to this series

 

I'm more leaning toward Bran's interactions and his hope to change things are what actually caused the current state of Westeros and it's population. Does that make sense? I think that's called something in the time travel world. If that is the case, that's awesome, but if we goes and actually CHANGES shit, then I dunno.

 

Me too. It's what I'm most anxious to see next week.

It totally makes sense. And I think that's what we may end up seeing? Especially if he starts seeing horrible things that he feels like he should be trying to stop.

 

And then Miles is like, "maybe trying to stop the incident is what causes the incident."

 

I bet Ramsay gets smoked soon, then the white walkers resurrect him.

 

While we're on the topic, Jack Bender is directing the next two episodes so I'm pretty stoked for that.

 

I hope Bran's storyline does not play out like that.

 

yas more LOST talk

 

Also, Bran is not the biggest wild card. That would be Arya. There are theories and possible foreshadowing with Bran. I don't know what is up with Arya and I haven't read much to suggest anyone really knows.

 

Loved everything at the Night's Watch this episode. So happy about the Jon/Sansa reunion. The letter from Ramsay was such a powerful moment too. I love that Sansa is being very assertive in what she wants and what she thinks Jon should do too. I really hope we get to see this side of Sansa from here on out because I think she's an important player to the game at this point, at least in the North.

Which also leads me to believe that Rickon is dead because, as some in here have mentioned, there's no reason for him to be alive, not even as a bargaining chip, because there's nothing Ramsay could want for him and Rickon only hurts his hold on Winterfell. With Arya is Braavos and Bran beyond the Wall, that would give Sansa the greatest claim to Winterfell. I'm excited to see Littlefinger and the Arryns getting involved too.

Make way for the Queen of the North.

 

Thought killing off Osha was kind of pointless. Like we get it, Ramsay is cartoonishly evil, it's like they're afraid we'll forget unless he kills someone every episode.

 

Pretty sure GoT will end with Bran in a room with a Colonel Sanders look-alike, discussing how Bran can either pick a small group to hide away and reboot the 7 Kingdoms after the white walkers purge it, or he can fight with his loved-ones and risk losing all of humanity for good in the process. MATRIX OF THRONES BITCHES.

 

One thing thats a little weird with this season is that it feels like a final season. Everything is moving along at a fast pace and beside the storylines that we already know, what else is there to happen? Say if one of the "rightful" becomes king/queen, do the others try to dethrone and take over for themselves? Obviously this could go on for many, many seasons, but I'm curious what else there is after what we already know.

 

Why would any Lord in that situation keep her alive?
She has absolutely no value.
Add to that she tried to kill him
There was nothing cartoonish about it either, he just shanked her in the throat before she did to him.

I was cool with it.

 

I think it was the "continuing to eat the apple with the knife he just used to kill her" thing.
