A lot of characters were completely left out this season. I thought we'd at least get a glimpse of some of them. Yara get a scene that went nowhere, just so we wouldn't forget about her. They even got Hot Pie in there.
Missing this season:
Rickon and Osha
meh. no one cares
Freys, and their prisoner Edmure Tully (how's the honeymoon working out?)
meh, no one really cares. he had 4 lines, was a foil in 3 scenes throughout season 3. he's useless.
Brynden Tully (he escaped last season)
Who? is that the Blackfish guy? maybe he's relevant, but not in the world of the TV show. The Starks are annhilated. the Bird people are annhiliated. Any relation to those people is nothing more than a distraction at this point. Seems like meandering book stuff that would go nowhere.
lol. very good point. I've been wondering this myself, considering the 3 seasons and many episodes that have been devoted to him.
Hey! Maybe the boat that Arya is now on, heading to Bravos, will knock up against poor Gendry's dingy, adrift on the sea.
The Brotherhood without Banners
True, again. Something was going on there, but now there is other magic in the world...I guess these guys, with their god of light, will have something to do with the tree people and fire crotch (did you see how Fire Crotch was eyeing John Snow and his sexy King's Blood? you can just tell she wants to burn that dude...)
Balon Greyjoy (what about Melisandre's leeches?)
Father of Dickless? whatever. those guys are creeps, and not in an entertaining way--like the old perv dude at The Twins. I wanted more of HIM. He was fucking entertaining.
