Beans are amazing! I put them in everything:

-Beans served on a bed of freshly toasted bread.
-Lemoncakes served up with a side of garbanzo bean spread (hummus)
-Honeyed locusts served on a bed of freshly uncanned maple-glazed brown beans.
-Lamprey stuffed with boiled kidney beans.
-Roast capons smothered in pork glazed beans.
-etc., bean chili, etc.

Or just in a hollowed-out trencher as a snack.

I'm on a new readthrough as well and noticed a neat bit of foreshadowing re: Cat. In one of her early chapters (on the way to the Eyrie), it mentions that the events of late have made it feel as if her heart is turning into stone.

Almost all the annoying/insufferable book characters have been softened for TV, though. Except perhaps Dany.

I did notice something in a Cat chapter. When thinking about Jon while with Mya Stone, she *does* feel guilty about how much she hates him.

Then you would clearly be reading a WildCards novel. Well technically it would be as if Bran forced this Uncle Brenden to Warg into Sansa, and then raped him/her.

I'd be pretty bummed and a bit resentful, if I was supposed to marry the "good, fun, attractive, kick rear end" brother, and instead I got his younger annoying, honor soaked, Robert's little puppy dog, brother. If on top of that, I mean, the ONE thing this dude is known for, its his loving Honor. Like he's basically so honor bound he is suicidal... and the ONE transgression here, is against ME. He fucks some other woman, and then is like "hey, this is my child, raise him as your own, and no loving questions". And im sure he is being RIGHTEOUS as gently caress about it, because he is that kind of guy. I'm pretty sure that little poo poo kid would be like a constant reminder of my dead lover, not to mention an ongoing reminder of my own besmirched honor. And paradoxically the more "Stark-like" she becomes, the more she raises her own children to be honor-bound starks, the more she comes to love Ned... the more this bastard kid makes less and less sense, and becomes more and more painful.

I mean, sure she is a bitch about it, but she wasn't really at the top of her game when she said all that poo poo. So as much as I said "ouch" when I heard all that poo poo, I also can sympathize where Cat is coming from.

I love the old theory being brought back of 3 dragons, one for Tyrion, Jon Snow, Daenerys, and they're all supposed to be Targaryen heirs (Tyrion from Aerys raping Tywin's wife, Jon Snow was the son of Lyanna and Rhaegar). It's like seeing all the fans theories that were discussed to death after AFFC and pretty much discredited in ADWD now finding new life in TVIV.

I think Charles Dance said he hasn't read the books and so doesn't know what happens to Tywin.

The only true Catwoman is Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, or Eartha Kitt.

The best part is showwatchers don't know her actual name, which if you're going to try to name your kid after some sort of inspirational (to them) female figure, you think you might want to do. Naming kids after titles isn't unheard of, but imaginary ones?

It's not that they don't know her name, it's their inability to differentiate between a name they aren't phonetically familiar with and one they are. I think most of the TV fanbase thinks its King Jeffery no matter how many times they hear "Jaw-free" because of that reason.
