Interesting that you brought up Craster. I was always fascinated with the way the TV version decided to develop his character and link his 'sacrificed' sons to the the Whitewalkers, which is not in the books. I wonder if that was what Martin had in mind. If so, it would explain why Craster never feared them. As his daughter/wives' fate is never revealed, it would be great to know if they have a part to play later on, if they are indeed the mothers of the Whitewalkers.
Being a show watcher before I read the books, the Brave Companions were a cool inclusion to the story. I always liked the feeling of dread whenever they appeared, especially later on when they ambush Brianna and Pod who proceede to kick their nasty asses lmao
That was absolutely brutal! I had gobbled up the books by then and was not surprised that the show was really forced to take a different path with Pod, he was yet again just a kid in the books. And to see Brienne's face so brutally disfigured would most likely have not been received well by TV audience.
I never payed to much attention to aryas chapters so i always wonder how this depraved group of sadistic,psycotic, psycopaths flew under the radar. They sounded rad when first hearing about them.
First to take the black !! For the one and true rightful kings of Westeros …House Targaryen 🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥🐉🐉🐉🗡️🗡️ The spot in the show I like where it shows Jamie’s character is when Instead of m Vargo it’s Locke and he tells Jamie “this makes Makes me happier than all the gold, that makes me happy (pointing his finger at brienne with the bear) Then all her sapphires, so go buy yourself a golden hand and GO FUCK YOURSELF WITH IT!!” Loved that exchange then Jamie says “sorry about the sapphires”
Vargo and Biter are truly horrible. All the same one of the changes that the show made using Tywin and Arya instead of Roose/Arya/Vargo and the Brave Companions translated way better to screen than the complicated book version. So merging Vargo with Locke was a good show decision, imo. Edit: I suppose the show had to find a way to kill off Locke. It was very badly done, his character should not have gone forward past Harrenhal.
Preston Jacobs as part of his Dornish theories theorized that Oberyn founded the Brave Companions in his time in Essos which would make sense.
1st to take the Black for The Black Goat 🐐

It would have been hilarious to hear some actor try and pull off Vargos lisp hahahaha.....and Hail Daemon Blackfyre!
What map of Westeros is this? Where can I find it?
And of course vargo talk as he spit AT everyone

House Blackfyre are The True Kings full of Honor while wielding The Sword of Kings🗡
@@aegorbittersteel2154 Mi’ lord lord this realm has burned already time and time again ..let us make peace about this… 😂😂😂😂
Both of you are wrong. The only one true King of Westeros is Stannis Baratheon.
@jeffcordova9633 While I admire you very much, there can only be peace through The Black Dragon😄
@gregrobertson5576 The Mannis is cool but King Daemon Blackfyre was Better
Is there a reason on why they didn't name Locke Vargo? I mean you pretty much gave him Vargo story why not just give him the name.
Well he didn't really pass for a guy who is supposed to be from the east.
There's a lord locke from the north. A minor lord.
In the show he is a northman under the banner of the boltons

I like the theory that the Brave Companions are Oberyn’s old company, and are working for the Martells.
