precision posted:The problem is that it is predictable. "Here is a character that is awesome. He/she will suffer horribly." It's bad storytelling not because bad things happen to people we like, but because everything becomes telegraphed. Jaime becomes likable? Hand chopped off. Ned dies. Robb gets Red Wedding'd. It's something you have to use sparingly, and not do it to every loving character. I'm already fully expecting The Hound to die this season purely because he has become a very interesting character. The character becoming likeable and then something bad happens to them is more of a television writing device / trope than a GRRM problem

I'm really really hoping there is a big reveal that it's the character's attempt at feigning an accent. If not why didn't they let him use his normal Irish accent as he's meant to be of no reputable house. He's the only character we've met from the region of Westeros he's from so I can give his accent a pass.

agarjogger posted:I don't really care if the show passes up grrm and they have to write the rest. GRRM might gently caress up the end of the books, but I have confidence the show writers won't do the same to their work. Who knows, the seasons after they depart from the novels could be the best ones. I'm curious why you have more faith in the show runners than GRRM?
