‘Game of Thrones’ book fans are upset the greatest monologue was cut from the show

We barely knew ye, Ray.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Game of Thrones season six episode seven.

The Hound may have returned to “Game of Thrones” in season six episode seven, but he wasn’t the only character book readers were excited to see.

The character Brother Ray (Ian McShane) who show watchers saw with the Hound was based off of Septon Meribald, a fairly important character in George R.R. Martin’s book “A Feast for Crows.”

Unfortunately, Ray’s time on the show was cut short after only one episode and he didn’t even make perhaps one of the greatest speeches in the entirety of George R. R. Martin’s series.

Whelp. I should have just went to bed and waited until tomorrow to watch. No Broken Man speech and Meribald is dead. #GameofThrones

How is #GameofThrones gonna call an episode The Broken Man and hire Ian McShane and not have him give this speech?
