Revision as of 01:53, 26 August 2014
Given that no one ever refers to Yarwyck or Marsh by name, until Season 4 had the guy who was Marsh in Season 1 appear and directly state that he is Yarwyck, I think we should just re-edit these so that he always was "Othell Yarwyck", and the grey-haired guy was just "unknown Night's Watch officer".--The Dragon Demands (talk) 23:02, June 15, 2014 (UTC)
- The problem is that it ruins the "Builders with me!" line and Fortune's statement that he was originally portraying Bowen Marsh. Let's keep it as it is.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 23:05, June 15, 2014 (UTC)
...I don't know, but we'll put this on the list of important/controversial stuff to deal with after the season finale.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 23:07, June 15, 2014 (UTC)
Bowen Marsh cast
Now that Bowen Marsh has actually been cast for Season 5, shouldn't we take down the redirect from "Bowen Marsh" to "Othell Yarwyck"? The fact that the guy who is playing Othell was assumed to be Bowen and all that stuff should be a side note now; it's now clear the characters haven't been merged. Bowen and Othell were extras, so it doesn't matter who they were at the time; they had no names on-screen, and now that the actor for who was supposed to be Bowen is playing Othell... so let's just say it was Othell from the beginning, right? It's not exactly a stretch. All this confusion should still be reflected in the "Behind the scenes", of course.
So I suggest this: no redirect; a page for Bowen Marsh; both pages reflecting the confusion only in the "Behind the scenes" section; and let's say Fortune was playing Othell in Season 1, Dennis McKeever a random officer and Michael Condron Bowen Marsh (a character first appearing in Season 5.) We should definitely leave the Bowen/Othell confusion only for the "Behind the scenes". Agreed? Essentially, this is on-screen canon superseding rumors and off-screen semi-canon. —ArticXiongmao (talk) 20:43, August 22, 2014 (UTC)
- I agree. Though McKeever should be listed as a random Builder.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 23:04, August 22, 2014 (UTC)
