KamaPANELIST
It's just, you know...
ChikiHOST
Well, and there's an element of his conversations with Tycho that seem almost like the way that he talks to Stannis or, I don't know, maybe even Mance or Melisandre, actually.
ChikiHOST
When he's talking to someone, and this is going to sound terrible because I don't think Jon is necessarily this way, but when he's talking to someone that he kind of considers an equal, I do think he changes a
KamaPANELIST
little bit the way that he approaches
HarmatHOST
Wait, wait.
HarmatHOST
Mance being a livestock.
HarmatHOST
That was very shocking.
HarmatHOST
Because I think everything else, like... like like even like the theon stuff like it was exhilarating but i wouldn't call it shocking i don't think it was shocking at all i think it was supposed to happen but the man stuff i just was like swept off my feet surprised
HarmatHOST
That's the thing.
HarmatHOST
Jon had some of my best moments.
HarmatHOST
Like, when Jon found out that Mance was...
HarmatHOST
Or no, when Melisandre told us that Mance was alive.
RonnieHOST
Why? Because he hasn't gotten a fucking second of rest.
RonnieHOST
But now he's being lowered on the other side of the wall to go talk to Mance Rayder.
RonnieHOST
Because Mance Rayder wants to treat with...
RonnieHOST
the Castle Black, but he's like, hey, but I don't want to go to you guys because Jano Slint's no so good, and Jano Slint is insulted by this.
RonnieHOST
So the solution is they're going to send Jon, but Jon isn't actually there to parlay with him.
speaker_2HOST
Oh, totally.
speaker_2HOST
Ciaran Hines goes on to play Mance Rayder.
speaker_2HOST
You have Indira Varma playing Niobe, and then she becomes Alleria Sand.
speaker_2HOST
Tobias Menzies plays Brutus, and then he's Edmure Tully.
speaker_2HOST
However, their growing presence does not go unnoticed.
speaker_2HOST
Word reaches Mance Rayder that Jaehaerys is gathering warriors at Hardhome, that he has tamed the cursed place and drawn powerful allies.
speaker_2HOST
Mance, unwilling to allow a rival to his authority, sends Rattleshirt and a host of warriors to put an end to this challenge before it takes root.
speaker_2HOST
A brutal battle erupts beneath the cold northern sky.
speaker_2HOST
Melisandre stands beside them, chanting in her strange tongue, weaving fire and magic into the very heart of the metal.
speaker_2HOST
The weapon takes form, gleaming, deadly, a sword born of the heavens and tempered by fire.
speaker_2HOST
But soon it finds itself tested, as reports reach Mance Rayder of what has transpired.
speaker_2HOST
Within days, he begins marching at Hardhome, at the head of his entire army.
speaker_0HOST
The TV show needs that visceral punch, so they sacrifice a main character's autonomy to get it, whereas the book uses the grim reality of collateral damage, innocent people in the wrong place at the wrong time.
speaker_1HOST
Then we see this exact same mechanical shift in how they handle Mance Rayder, the King-Beyond-the-Wall.
speaker_0HOST
Oh, this is a massive change.
speaker_1HOST
Mm-hmm.
speaker_1HOST
Right.
speaker_0HOST
It's the definitive, highly visible death.
speaker_1HOST
But in the books, the man burning at the stake isn't Mance Rayder.
speaker_0HOST
It's a magic trick.
Adam WilbournHOST

Andy H. MurrayHOST

Andy H. MurrayHOST
Oh, no, he died.
Adam WilbournHOST
