The redhead Theon wanted to bang in the book got fleshed out into a 26 episode character that became a spy and advisor to both LF and Varys. Meanwhile, Strong Belwas was cut from the show, along with most of the Tyrells, the Kettleblacks, the Freys, the Umbers, Jojen and Meera (for season 2), Dany's Bloodriders, and the loving Bloody Mummers.

Which begs the question, why spend millions on Game of Thrones when you could just have a 1 hour episode of a woman standing there naked? I mean, as long as we're making tv for idiots, why not triple our profits while slashing costs 99.8%?

That's the first use I've seen of that smiley that feels really appropriate.

Despite what stand-up comedians and sitcoms the world over will tell you, nice tits do have their limits when it comes to hypnotizing an audience.

What in the flying gently caress is wrong with this show? Wait, they seriously cut the Bloody Mummers? Those are like the central antagonists to Arya's story in ACoK and Jaime's in ASoS.

They turned Arya's arc in ACoK to her being Tywin's little office helper and whether or not he'd figure out she was a Stark (seriously). They bonded once he realized she's not an idiot. They did keep Jaquen though, and he was all sexy and mysterious as everyone wanted him to be.

You know how she tricked Jaqen H'ghar into killing those guards, freeing the northmen, and capturing the castle? Well instead of that he just stabbed one guard on duty at midnight and they walked out the gate. Then the guys who owned harrenhall left it for no reason after slaughtering all the small folk, again, for no reason. Left them a huge corpse pile. So she didn't have any central antagonists. Or really any problems. She just lived in a castle for a while and then left with no real problems. Why are other-thread-people suddenly guessing that the bastard of bolton is the bastard of bolton? When did anyone in the show ever even say that bolton had a bastard? Krinkle fucked around with this message at 06:11 on May 6, 2013 |

But yeah, sure, bye Ros, a useless waste of time! That Mel and Thoros scene was like the best invented one in the whole series, though. Ramsay scenes are coming up close too, though, except the books did it better (goonsay). And I haven't checked, but have those eagle-eyed little babies caught on yet that Bolton's heraldry exactly loving matches the post Theon is laid out on? Those kids are sharp, no doubt; they probably even caught that Carcetti was talking about climbing while there was a shot of mountain climbing!

In the babby thread's defense, Roose says he's sending his bastard to take Winterfell. Then at Winterfell there's a guy blowing the horn at the gates day and night. This episode has Theon strapped to the Bolton sigil X, being flayed, as a dude blows a horn at him. Every context clue on earth has been spoonfed to them.

No, just like how Davos saved Edric in the books, he'll save Gendry via cockblock. This will force Mel to burn the fetuses instead of the leeches.

I enjoyed how the Brotherhood selling Gendry is laying the groundwork for them becoming "broken men." I really hope Meribald gives his speech from the book about "broken men" because it is important to the story and one of the better passages of the book, really. With all the other characters being cut though, I don't have much faith. However I will give them credit for working in information about Thoros' mission and his piety.

Those are like the central antagonists to Arya's story in ACoK and Jaime's in ASoS. For some reason they decided that Vargo Hoat was not a memorable character or name, so they changed him into a dude named Locke who dresses just like every other Northman. Great actor, though. And the Jaime/Brienne scenes have otherwise been almost entirely preserved. The non-book readers I know didn't understand the abandonment of Harrenhall at all. Instead of showing Arya develop into an apprentice killing machine, they have Mel tell her directly that she's gonna kill people someday.

Maybe they're trying to create a greater sense of boundary for her, considering her eventual induction into the House of Black and White. In the books, her joining the house is the logical conclusion of the lessons she has been learning, so it feels like a continuation of her training rather than the beginning of it. If the show makes her out to be someone who wants to have some effect in the world but is utterly powerless against the people and events surrounding her, then the House will feel more like an actual beginning for her on her path to becoming stronger. Or so I say, but her training at the House has been more along the lines of "indoctrination into our way of thinking" than anything else.

Well instead of that he just stabbed one guard on duty at midnight and they walked out the gate. No, Jaqen killed every single guard in the courtyard. Somehow. They show like three different dudes who all look to be on watch but are really impaled to the walls and dead. And he does it without Arya and Hot Pie noticing.

I hope they don't somehow combine the House of Black and White with the Lord of Light, but Mel and Thoros greet each other with "Valar morghulis-Valar dohaeris". They may just be treating it as an Essos thing, but then why would it be a useful password for the Faceless Men?

That's a lot more radfem than just "all men die", man. Is Arya training to burn bras and demand the execution of all cock-havers?

I really wonder about the shows foreshadowing, they are laying the LF-as-supervillian angle reaaaaal hard. Not to mention Melisandre looked into Arya's soul and then (might as well have) turned to the camera and said "Oh yeah, she's definitely gonna kill all those people she's chanting". This and Dany's drug trip at the International House of Undying seemed to be making a lot of very direct implications the book at least buries under a pile of poo poo so you have to read into it.
