There's quite a bit of Vale political shenanigans and Sansa snow-castle building in Feast.

GRRM says Pod lived along with Brienne.
I rewatched every season of the show over the weekend, so that's why Robb's line is so fresh in my mind. It skipped all the Dany bits, and I almost did the same on last nights episode because seeing anything Dany like has becoming a reflexive motion to fast forward now. I did the same with all the Sam bits too.

e: VVV Now you mention it, I recall it vaguely. I didn't rewatch S4 because there was some people in the house who hadn't seen it yet and didn't want spoiling.

A "Tywin shits gold" line was dropped this season in a Jaime/Bronn scene.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

You are quite mistaken, Lysa. Allow me to elucidate with this chart.

I, Petyr Baelish, otherwise known as Littlefinger, have only ever loved your sister, Catelyn Stark of House Tully, who was murdered alongside her son, Robb Stark, the King in the North, who is the late Eddard Stark's oldest son, by the Freys and Lannisters at your brother Edmure Tully's wedding, known popularly as the Red Wedding. (You are Lysa Arryn of House Tully, and the over-large portal in the floor before which you stand is the Moon Door, used on occasion to execute people by dropping them down the length of the mountain upon which the Aerie, this castle within which we abide, stands.) Screaming over there is Sansa Stark, your niece, who I stole away from King's Landing after King Joffrey Baratheon's death at his own wedding to Margaery Tyrell, which was subsequently blamed on Tyrion Lannister, Sansa's deformed dwarven husband.

I Loved the scene with the Hound and Arya, but Oberyn talking about how he first met Tyrion was probably my favorite of the season so far.

Also thought that scene with Gregor chopping up peasants was really out of place and cheesy. It seemed like something that belong in a crappy action movie to show how bad the bad guys are (that part in Rambo where they make the guys run across the minefield comes to mind).

He had a really odd voice too, for the one line he did speak.

I don't know they kinda changed Littlefinger's motivation for killing Joffrey from "create chaos to rise" to "revenge for my one true love."

:smug: : Sometimes to build a better house we have to burn down the old one!
:downs: : So why did you kill Joffrey?!?!?
:smug: : ... *stares*

They didn't make it really subtle in that scene that yes, that's still why he's doing it, whatever he says to the blithering idiot he's about to kiss.

I don't give a poo poo that they changed a meaningless line. I wanna know how he's gonna littlefinger his way out of it when there was no bard there to blame, and whether or not Brienne and Pod seriously just skipped over all of AFFC and ADWD simply by talking it out for about 2 minutes. Because that would be hilarious and awesome.

GreenBuckanneer was a SA forums poster for seven years. When he was young he read the books and he said to dad "I want to be on the internet, daddy."
Dad said "NO! YOU WILL BE KILL BY MORONS!"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the TVIV Unsullied thread he knew there were morons.
"This is the Bad Thread," the radio crackered. "You must fight the morons!"
So GreenBuckanneer gotted his keybored and missed the joke.
"HE GOING TO KILL US," said the morons!
"I will shoot at him," said the Cybermoron and he played the Youtube videos. GreenBuckanneer posted at him and tried to blew his patience. But then the archives fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the morons," he shouted!
The radio said "No, GreenBuckanneer. You are the morons."

well you see, in book 3, act 2, scene 4, tyrion used the subjunctive mood when speaking of robb stark, which the show authors saw fit to change. This is a grievous affront.

Seriously though, preserving the iconic lines matters more to me than the others, "only cat" kind of stuck out as a line I remembered, and not because it was repeated 800 times in book 5. People are right though, I don't think we're getting a "poo poo gold" line.

Now that it think of it, I don't think there has even been a single mention in the show of the running gag there was in the books about Tywin making GBS threads gold, so if that is the case the quip makes even less sense. Even if the shits gold has been mentioned, it must have only been once like seasons ago, so you know D&D aren't gonna trust stupid loving TV watchers to remember that poo poo so they can capitalize on it.


It was mentioned this season, too bad you didn't remember, looks like you're a stupid loving TV watcher.

He's there to witness the murder, he can't read or write but he can play his weird string thing so he can't tell them Baelish did it even though he would want to.

There's one of those effort posting theories floating around that Shireen has to be burned in order for Jon to live. They cited one of the prophecies where they mentioned stone burning for a dragon to awake, and stone = greyscale, ergo...

I think it'll actually be a cool plot device considering Stannis loves his daughter in a distant, brooding way.

Am I completely crazy or is the show Brienne going to go straight for Sansa because it's revealed last night that she found out Arya could be at the Vale? It's a change that would make sense at least, instead of her walking around aimlessly.

I think The Hound is killing it on the show and it's gonna be really sad and stupid when someone makes all his subtext explicit and makes a speech about how he was more of a true knight than the Mountain or Meryn or whoever. Probably while sucking someones dick.
