What's going on guys Carmine here and it looks like we'll definitely be getting some resurrections
after all. During an interview with the BBC, Ian McShane gave us some new details on who
he'll be playing in the new season of Game of Thrones. and shout out to Mennace Gaming
for bringing it to my attention, thank sir. Now I will be playing a small tidbit of that
interview so you can hear his words for yourself, and keep in mind we still have no idea who
he'll be playing and HBO has been very secretive about the new cast of characters we'll be
getting. Take a look.
"I can give you one hint: my character really is like an ex warrior whose become a Peacenik.
So I have this group of peace, sort of like a cult. Peaceful tribe. Who have brought back
I bring back a much loved character everybody think is dead so I'll leave it at that"
"Peaceful cult" "Ex-warrior" and bringing back a "beloved character" Sounds a lot like
the Elder Brother giving Sandor Clegane his new identity. Now some of you who have never
read the books have no idea what I'm talking about so let me fill you in....and yes this
does include very minor spoilers from the book, however, keep in mind that this is only
a theory most book readers have. As you might've already known the television show has gone
off course from the books almost entirely and many plot lines have been dropped or altered
completely. Brienne never makes it to the North but is instead still in the Riverlands
searching for Sansa Stark. She and Podrick eventually come to the Quiet Isle looking
for the Hound because she heard he might have her. Now this place she comes to is a refuge
for servants of the faith. The guy who leads them, The Elder Brother was a Knight who fought
for the Targaryens in Robert's Rebellion but in the decisive battle of the trident he got
knocked out and everybody thought he was dead so they tossed him in the river and he eventually
floated towards the small island and have lived there ever since.
In the book When Brienne gets there he tells her that Sandor Clegane, The Hound, died in
his arms...but because this is Game of Thrones, a lot of the times these people love to speak
in riddles or metaphors and it is possible that the Elder Brother, when talking about
the Hound, he is speaking metaphorically. Who the Hound was before, the violent and
vicious person is now dead and in his place a new more peaceful and collected person is
born. While the Elder Brother tells Brienne that the Hound is dead, she eventually spots
one of the monks that live there to be digging a grave. The guy is taller than she is and
is covered in a hood and scarf as to hide his face.
Not only that but the Hound's signature Horse is even there and the reason that's important
is because it's notoriously difficult to handle it and only he could. It also seems like the
dogs seem to like him which may be a hint left in there by George himself. So what does
this have to do with Ian McShane? well it's entirely possible that he will be playing
the Elder Brother and that he nurses The Hound back to health, thus why he said "beloved
character". Now I know you're all thinking he could be a replacement for Thoros of Myr,
since the show likes to do that and the character hes bringing back could be Ladystone heart...and
to be honest I don't think we'll ever see that person ever again. Don't get me wrong
I would love to see that story line play out because Jaime is one of my favorite characters
but I just don't see it happening anymore. It was reported a while ago that we will be
seeing the Blackfish this season and that it is possible Jaime will be going to Riverrun
to snuff out the of the last of the Stark supporters. It is possible that Jaime will
encounter the Elder Brother in place of Brienne.
The other reason I think it's possible that the Hound will be reappearing is because the
actor, Rory McCann was spotted in Belfast back in August...now I would say that he was
probably there on vacation or what ever but many Irish people have laughed in my face
so I'll stop saying that.
Oh and before I forget you guys know what this means right?...
Oh yeah I'm on that fucking hype train. Once again...for those of you who have seen people
say that in the comment section but have no idea what it means let me explain. In season
5 Cersei is arrested by the Faith and shes set to go on trial....naturally because shes
feisty she will choose a trial by combat and you already know her champion will be the
zombie mountain....but who will the faith choose as their champion? oh yeah that's right.
The bloody Hound. These two brothers have both died and been reborn to fight...for our
amusement. And you better be fucking hyped because I'am. It also has to do with the prophecy
of Maggy the frog. In the book she tells Cersei that the "Valonqar" which is high valyrian
for little brother, will choke the life out of here...The Hound counts as a little brother.
Oh and before someone says it...Yes it is also entirely possible for the person that
Ian McShane is bringing back could be Jon Snow but from the way he describes his character?
It sounds like the Elder Brother who resides in the Riverlands, not the North. They'd have
to completely change that plot line but knowing the way the show does things? it's highly
possible but leave your thoughts below let me know what you guys think, share this video
around so we can get a discussion going and I will see you next, have a good one.
