Guess I am forced to get into the books then. I can easily read between the lines just I know im missing juicy bits that help bring things together… an yes i get pissed lol cause i get attached to certain characters good/and or bad
like i was telling areya to shutup gettin all smart mouthed last night… so far she was playing the ‘game’ till that moment. she is just showing her cards cause lannister is catching on to her… she is just spilling to much that some ‘regular’ girl should know…
Books are the way to go, if (and ONLY if) you don’t have the patience to read then wiki it. Seven days is a long ass time for a new episode (and 9 months is too long to wait for a new season.) Thankfully Diablo 3 comes out on tuesday to lessen the wait.
Also who else is a fan of Ygritte trolling the shit out of Snow?
eagerly awaits all of the dickriding trolls’ defense of the show this time
hopes it is more thoughtful and cogent that previous efforts

So at this point in the series, I should expect that they just did not decide to add Ramsay to the TV-adaptation, understandable I guess but sad since he is my favorite character and villain in the GoT universe.
Unless he is supposed to be that guy who keeps teaching Theon how to be an asshole, but that is just far fetched since he seems to be another Ironborn and he met him in the Iron Islands.
Well, one thing is for certain: the series isn’t in the ASoIAF 616.

biggest change for me so far was the jojen/meera change, but that’s nothing i’m too concerned about
it’s still not as bad as what GRRM has been doing himself lately
Lol.
That is so true.
Feast and Dance were feces and dull, respectively.
…but it still doesn’t hold up to the first three books.
You do have to wonder though, whether Gay Martin is going change what he was going to write, to accommodate the show.
Gay Tard Tard Martin: “Hmmm, what to do now… Ah, yes! Now it is consistent.”
edits and creates Reed death scenes into the 6th book
“Now then, how to fix all these other niggling details… A-ha!”
edits and creates time travel powers for a certain character via Blood Raven, thereby ret-conning the first 5 books
“Perfection. Now to hit sen…”

no, it doesn’t that. i think a few things in the series have been handled better than the books, but overall the books do a better job with the story than the series no question.
the arya/tywin scenes were actually a good addition however; the harrenhall stuff in general has been handled better so far than the book IMO for the following reason
arya’s three names
it does a better job of not making me question why the fuck arya didn’t name tywin/joff etc, since the scenes with tywin show you why she probably wouldn’t name him, and it helps show why she picked two random as fuck dudes
You see, I think that was meant to show that Arya was a nine year old child, who was being trained by a master assassin, to stop thinking like a child.

Finally got around to this series. I didn’t think I’d enjoy a show more than Boardwalk Empire, but Game of Thrones is crack.
Dagmer Cleftjaw is the guy that is teaching Theon.
Ramsey hasn’t been cast yet afaik. Even if they leave him out here, I figure he will come in later.
Ramsay makes Joffery look like Ned Stark…oh boy do I look forward to his scenes >_>
Yeah but a lot of the scenes he was supposed to be in have already gone, like when they were chasing the stark boys - Ramsay was supposed to be there.
Roose said to Robb that he’d send his bastard to take back winterfell from the ironborn, so…
And in the books Arya is 9 or w/e, so she wouldn’t be scheming to take out the best political targets, she’d be knocking off the people that were doing shit like beating her everyday.
When Theon was chasing Rickon and Bran? Naah I’m almost positive he wasn’t apart of that group, he showed up after he took back Torrhen Square from Ser Rodrick and delivered his body to Theon. That was after the hunt.
Exactly.
Ergo, J was training her to think like an adult, as well.
And it worked, as per her kicking herself, in her inner dialogue, after the second murder, and realizing what a waste each of those two had been.
She was thinking like a kid.
Kids see the immediate abuse.

sorry that doesn’t cut it for a girl who is repeating names of guys she wants dead over and over
So I’m assuming they’ve written Jojen and Meera off the show? That’s kinda disappointing.
She doesn’t want them to die, she wants to kill them.
if that helps you swallow it, sure
