The sack of Winterfell occurs when Ramsay Snow slaughters the Stark army outside, tricks Theon into letting him in, and then sacks the castle, as in, destroys it. Theon merely infiltrated Winterfell and took control. There was no sacking involved. It's all here: http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Sack_of_Winterfell

Disappointing that Arya's not going to stab that guy to death. These episodes feel too short. Wish they had more room to breath instead of truncating all the characters. Gonna make Dany's arc seem even more pointless. Not only does nothing happen, but so little of it too.

I wouldn't be surprised if they cut out entirely the Arya and the hound scene. Instead making him die in the battle of the backwater, and Arya getting to the freys by some other means.

Factor_VIII posted:Considering his abilities, his invasion of Westeros would have been a complete joke. He'd probably have carelessly thrown his troops in a trap, gotten them massacred and then blmed his commanders for the failure and had them executed, which would have cemented his defeat.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:I was actually kind of disappointed with most of Viserys in the show. He didn't come across nearly as totally nuts as I had imagined, and not even that huge a dick. Just going by the show, he's a man who dies horribly because he's depressed and gets drunk at the wrong time. Which, sure, is probably a more grounded version than the nipple-twisting archvillain screaming about WAKING THE DRAGON, DEAR SISTER, but it felt like they dropped too much of him constantly pissing off the Dothraki and it made Drogo an even bigger rear end in a top hat for killing him without much provocation. But dude, rabble rabble budget contraints rabble rabble or something.

That's not what molten gold looks like at all. Also gold won't just melt that easily from putting it over an open flame, having a melting point somewhere slightly above 1000°C. For the record, this is what actual gold does look like when it melts. And I don't even think it would have made much of a dent into their budget to make that scene look a little more believable

If HBO wants to make Gendry's story-line less useless and more like an actual story, while also letting him be filthy and shirtless...who am I to argue? Oh ~~Gendry~~~ where do the blacksmiths go?

Did Jaqen refer to the Nameless God as "The red god" in the books? I thought that term was used exclusively for R'hllor.

Besides, all pantheons have a god of death, and R'hllor is the sole deity in its religion, thus a totally appropriate name to call the Many-Faced God.Arnold of Soissons posted:You forgot the golden mustachios.

 The sword hilts are red, and it is left to the viewer's imagination if they are phalli with golden testes, for the female version, or massive golden bosoms which I did a lovely job painting on.

Someone with artistic ability should make the Fecal Throne for GRRM to sit on. A thousand logs from all the fans he's devoured, all forged together into one throne. For a King should never smell pretty on a throne.
