I don't see how she can even get back to King's Landing, or he can get to Winterfell, in the remaining time. People tend to just teleport wherever they want in the show, but they took like 10 episodes just getting Brienne from King's Landing to Winterfell, so I'm not sure how they can set this fight up without being extremely contrived.

Ned Stark's headless body is going to rise up and fight all the Boltons then turn into a dragon and picks her up then flies away

emigrate or degenerate. the choice is yours
For fuck sake Brienne is literally contrivance the character in this show.

I wonder what fucking shit they're going to pull this time that even renders Brienne a snowball's chance in hell against someone like Robert Strong. And you can already fucking guarantee she'll win the fight.

odd that you'd rate strong so highly, since we've never seen him fight in his zombified state.

I'm not rating him highly per se, I'm just illustrating that we don't have any indication that Brienne would prove much difficulty to him, unless zombification actually does turn him into a complete hermit.

I mean Oberyn only really took him down due to his speed, and even then, Clegane still managed to knock him down a couple times despite his size hindrance. Brienne is nowhere near the tiers of Oberyn. I've been saying this from day one. Literally all her fights have been complete contrivances.

brienne is much stronger in the show than in the books. i think it would be very GRRM-y for Robert Strong to be built up as this ultimate zombie badass but  in practice end up being weaker than he was in life, shooting down any potential for him to deus ex machina all of cersei's problems away.

now, DnD arent exactly terribly consistent with GRRM's themes. i think this could go either way for a myriad of reasons, logical and illogical.

Idk, I don't mind Brienne being a cool warrior, but it kind of comes off as senseless pandering to the SJW masses sometimes. I would like to see her face a bit of adversity soon, because right now she's just coming off as the GoT female Terminator at this point. Completely detracts from the underlying themes of realism in both the show and the books.

>Still thinking the show has any indication on where the books are heading

I doubt the accuracy of these statements considering how tight-lipped the actors have to be. Why all of a sudden is Brienne dropping major spoilers? Seems unlikely.

Maybe The Hound will come back and kick her in the cunt a few more times.

Show has gone full retard at this point. Barristan the Based dying a bitch death to a bunch of sandniggers with daggers? Sansa getting raped and Jorah getting greyscale? Fuck that.

Hey, Tyrion is still alive...and we still have that boring Dornish plot!  That's good right?
