Joff being a cowardly little bitch, the treachery of the Kingsguard, Tywin's gonna make some goddamn heads roll for this terrible mess.

You have to love his enthusiasm, and in the context of the show, his inveterate love of Tywin.

So I just finished Dance with Dragons. I ended up getting a little skip happy on some of the boring parts near the end. Why did we decide to kill Jon Snow? "For the watch"? people just didn't like him and the wildlings goin' to kick some rear end? That was bullshit and stupid. Also, I could give a flying gently caress about these assholes on boats and tyrion and cersei and the dornish and asha and jaime in this book. They literally did nothing. The 2 Arya chapters were okay though. I came to this book with low expectations and they were met. As a reader who wasn't really that into the series and read the last 4 back to back I gotta say that it seems like HBO has been doing pretty drat well for the source material that they have. I like the show. The only difference from the book that I've noticed is the Rob love interest plotline, which is kind of bad. And that's what I think about game of thrones.

The wilding poo poo was bad enough, but it's because Jon Snow was about to insert himself into politics south of the wall by attacking Ramsay Bolton to rescue his "sister".

A Dance with Dragons' main problem isn't so much that the Tyrion, Jon Snow, and Dany chapters are kinda boring and dumb so much as that there are so goddamn many of them. The chapters involving basically everyone else are perfectly fine (as is pretty much the entirety of AFFC), and Tyrion's stuff toward the very beginning/Dany's stuff toward the very end, apart from taking a gigantic bloody poo poo, is pretty fine too.

I've been catching up with the latest(?) episode and the simple shrug Arya does when said that she lacks honor is simply what makes her the best Stark. Can't remember if that part was in the books or not.

Another little thing that was great in the last episode was Tyrion's tiny grin while he was making the speech to lead the men beyond the wall. It perfectly captured his sense of "what the gently caress am I doing?" that was in his thoughts in the book, thoughts that are often very difficult to show physically. A tiny gesture and you got it, though. And my god, Sansa is so much more awesome now. That actress is acting the hell out of her parts. Book Sansa chapters I hated, now with every scene I like her more. She's learning how to play the game much faster than she did in the books. Today was the day ~~~My Lancel~~~ became a real man.

Joffrey is obviously Patrick Bateman. The Blackwater ruled. Lancel more of a man than Joffrey. And the Hound's "gently caress the king, I'm out bitches". Sansa should have bailed with him though.

This is why they should've brought Dontos back sooner  Now all these dumb babbys are going to be asking why didn't she run off with the scary homicidal guy, he seems legit.

I can't decide if Sansa thinking Stannis isn't going to kill her is because of her naivety--he's a Lord, if not a King and honorable blah blah. Or if it's just the way he's been described in King's Landing--you know how they all laughed about Ned, I imagine they laughed even harder about Holy-Stick-Up-His-rear end-Stannis. Basically I think it's this: it wsn't that long ago that she was almost being raped in the streets. Sansa is a teenage girl, she's not going to go out into another mob when she can sit in her barricaded room and hope for Stannis to put every Lannister's head on a pike. And if he loses, well. She can always say she was praying for Joffrey or some crap.

There's also the part where he sent part of the watch north in boats to get killed by zombie walruses, against all advice, and then decided to send another large chunk of the watch north this time with wagons and stuff to get eaten by zombie polar bears. Because the people at hard home will become zombies too and that would be bad....yet fighting the zombie apocalypse on their ground is perfectly sensible. And feeding them the night watch is super smart. Oh btw I'm going south with some wildlings. Have fun dying in the cold. I'd have stabbed him too.

Yeah, I think her decision really does make a lot more sense when you realized that since nobody knew that Tywin was coming, it was almost certain at that point that the Lannisters were going to lose. Stannis has a reputation for being honorable and generally not rapey, and so then when all is said and done Joffrey's head gets put on a pike and she gets to go back to the life of a highborn lady that she'd always wanted.

I have mixed feelings on the Blackwater episode simply because I really thought it felt too small scale. On a possibly related note, I always see people making jokes about the budget of the show in this and other threads. Whats the story behind that?

^^^Well you know even the lovely Harry Potter movies look like poo poo with bad cgi? Well, cut the budget from 200 million to 60, quadruple the cast, and stretch it to ten hours. That's why the show can't do big battles. ---------- Burn the internet and sow salt in its tubes. Death to shippers. Death to tumblr. Death to deviantart!

It has a large budget, but ASOIAF is, even with all the advances made since AGOT was written, largely unfilmable at its full scale. So they're constantly doing things like cutting away from battles and never showing anything too expensive. They weren't even going to do the Blackwater initially. They were going to just do a full episode of Sansa/Cersei receiving news from the walls. Then they managed to beg enough money out of HBO to make what they did, and lo! It was good. Smaller than it could have been if there was an LOTR budget for each season, but good.
