Arya standing there without saying a word and looking at the hound dying was creepier than bloodraven. I really wanted for him to be weird, almost like an Other. Instead we got maester aemon x2.
As I was eating now, I realized why they didn't show Coldhands. He is Benjed Stark. Showing him will be a giveaway, because we saw the actor before. It is the same issue as with Barristan and why didnt he disguise himself as Whitebeard in the show; knowing the actor would have been a giveaway.
Am I thinking too much of this? I really need a hobby.
Bloodraven should have looked like this, but nooo, special effects budget was wasted on the CotF throwing fireballs at draugrs.
Coldhands=Benjen is totally possible, but I think in the books Coldhands always has his face covered, so they could have had him in the show without spoiling his identity. Personally, I like the Benjen=Daario tinfoil even if I don't think it's true. I really, really hope he makes another appearance in the series though; I'm going to be very disappointed if he's actually dead for good.
Also you can never overthink Game of Thrones. Tinfoil theories are delicious
I knew of the theory and I never thought much of it.... until they changed Daario in season 4. He may not be Benjen, but there is certainly more to him. His character is not as simple as it appears. Dare I say he is a faceless? Or that Benjen is a faceless transformed into a tyroshi sellsword aka Daario? Or maybe Benjen is really the dusky whore and a warg.

They re-cast Daario because the other guy who played him left to be in a movie or something. Personally, I think new Daario looks more like Ben Plumm than the book's description of Daario (who sounded really unattractive anyway), and I think Ben Plumm's role might be assumed by show Daario since Plumm isn't in the show.

So stupid. Who does that? I mean you get to play in a succesful show and see Emilia Clarke naked live. I'm straight but I'd still tap that.
But yeah, the producers have something against the ridiculous book Daario. I'm sure they have their reason since it is not hard nor expensive to dye the actor's beard and hair.
Also, did Jojen die in the book as well? I don't remember him dying and in that case, his death in the show is a spolier even though his sole purpose was to guide Bran to bloodraven, so I'll guess he will die anyway, and rather soon.

They probably toned down his appearance in the show because book Daario sounded like a clown and no one would've taken him seriously.
I don't think the book explicitly stated Jojen's death, he was just really sick or something. I guess now we know he doesn't have anything important to do in the next book, though.
Ilyanah does, I believe. But that's just an example of how insane one must be in order to have said patriotism for that realm.
Oh.~
The only reason I ever continued playing there was a select group of friends. I don't know how it is nowadays considering I haven't played in months, but it was absolutely toxic at times, especially during the Caylara era.
Inflection did as well; Sargeras sort of reminds me of MoonGuard in that you have to be brave and create a character there to truly experience the horror.
