I didn't notice it before reading this thread but holy gently caress there ARE a lot of food descriptions in these books, I'm re-reading CoK and every chapter is filled with huge walls of text describing hundreds of foods.

The show is nothing compared to the books.

I'll admit for a little bit I almost thought he was going to succeed but nope, the GURM denies us yet again. No, I also thought he was going to fail but with the way the fight played out I really thought he was going to do it but then he got cocky.

Ambiguatron posted:I seriously think that was his plan all along, that the whole series was to be the shocker decapitation of the apparent Fantasy Protagonist writ large, but he got too involved in his world and regrets setting it up, and doesn't want to finish it. He doesn't want to kill all of his imaginary people with an endless winter. That doesn't necessarily has to happen, Dany can still come and save the day with her dragons and burn every Other if GRRM wants a happy ending.

Contra Calculus posted:So I am watching the latest episode and apparently they decided to replace Jacelyn with Bronn for commanding the City Watch. Makes sense since Bywater gets murdered like two seconds into ASoS. What else has changed that I may not have noticed? Lots of the changes have been for the better, they are mostly done to save $$$ but there really are too many useless characters in these series. Also I was watching the commentary on Episode 8 Season 1 by GURM himself and he says they got a lot of angry mail because Ghost wasn't completely silent on the show... people complain about the silliest poo poo.

Bad thing is that they 100% won't have Tyrion with a huge scar on his face and no nose, it's not that huge of a deal because Dinklage is such a good actor that he makes up for it but still, the show is lacking every character recoiling at Tyrion's ugly mug.

No way, they've stuck very close to the books until now, Robb and Cat are going to die at the RW, she's probably just referring to Zombie Cat who serves no purpose whatsoever but be an insufferable bitch.

Ambiguatron posted:I'm reasonably certain his plans involve Sansa claiming Winterfell, but I doubt he'd have Tommen killed. Even if he had the means, it would be a better fit for his MO to attach himself to Sansa controlling the Stark holdings in a Seven Kingdoms united under the Iron Throne. He knows how precarious the throne actually is and he wouldn't want to center his plans on it. They didn't consummate their marriage so that can be easily annulled yeah.
