Four weddings and, like, eight hundred funerals. (actually, there ARE four weddings aren't there, Red, Tyrion, Joffrey and ikklefinger. It's a very weddingey season/book)

Urdnot Fire posted:Azure_Horizon, obviously. also making Jorah and Barristan work together to go through Astapor's subterranean entrance. That part almost sounded like made for the movies, odd-couple comic relief. But the season should start to be Jaime-centric. It was after he lost his hand that he became a very interesting character.

The show kind of skipped over that whole thing by knighting Bronn for his blackwater badassery didn't they? Kind of a bummer, I liked the second hand stories of Lords challenging Bronn for being so uncouth and getting hosed up.

Reading the TVIV thread of people who haven't read the books is just adorable. I regret that since there's no backstories for the before-times of Rhaegar and the like, that they'll never speculate about who's a secret targaryen or not.

That was a pretty good episode, fairplay. Probably the best since season 1 if you don't include Blackwater.

Am I the only OG who never saw any sense in finding Targaryans in every questionable birth?? One thing about the show last night: I wasn't so sure about this Ramsay...until he made that "Tee-Hee" face at Theon's horror at the end of the scene.

I don't really want Tyrion to be a Targaryen bastard but he probably is. I don't know. It ruins the moment of Jaime's aunt telling him that Tyrion was Tywin's true heir. But not doing it ruins his character introduction where his stumpy legged strut made his shadow "as tall as a king", his dreams of burning everyone, and his conveniently correct hair and eye color. I'm going to feel bad about the reveal either way. I notice that on Not-A-Blog winds of winter isn't even a used blog tag that shows up anymore so there's no need to ask if he's done anything but cry about the Giants and blog about cheeseburger pizzas since 2010.

If any of the Lannisters are secret Targs, it's Jaime and Cersei. Tyrion couldn't exactly result from Aerys taking advantage of the bedding ceremony, the twins share the Targs' incest and crazy babies, and it'd make the misshapen dwarf Tywin's only true child. Tyrion's just gonna ride dragons because he read how in books (get off your soapbox GRRM).

Did the 2nd season skip that scene where the guy with the evil dead hand asks Tyrion in the courtroom for help and Tyrion makes fun of him but slips in the help anyway? I remember seeing a guy with a hand in a jar going south but I don't remember seeing the resolution.

I'm going to feel bad about the reveal either way. Hasn't this been completely ruled out? ADWD mentions how Aerys made some joking "lord's right" comments about Tywin's wife during the wedding and after that Tywin took her straight to Casterly Rock and she never left or visited Kings Landing or was anywhere near Aerys before she died. Probably because Tywin knew once in the capital all bets were off for insane poo poo Aerys would do. The whole situation with the Starks getting killed was because they did their traditional fealty and came down from the North rather then raise arms and threaten the king.

I'm pretty sure in the first season there was a scene with Thorne leaving from the wall to tell Kings Landing about the Others/Wights. I'm not sure if they specifically showed the hand in a jar though, but I vaguely remember seeing it as well. And Thorne hasn't appeared in the show since then, so I guess they did decide to just drop that, it's would have been a nice scene for the book readers, but I doubt show watchers would remember who he was.

Years ago I promised a stranger in line at Subway that his favorite character, Tyrion, was going to own bones the following year and they made me a liar by cutting all his dang scenes.

(unless folks skip that) It is shown. But yeah, if we're gonna bookchat, the best part is all the little worldbuilding details and tertiary background plots that you can fit in over the course of a bloated mess like this.

Krinkle posted:Haha this guy doesn't have to wait three loving books to find out what's happening to Theon and he still complains about it. Christ. Also yeah why did Margery say Loras instead of "My brother" and allowing her to jump to the wrong conclusion? They might really choose to have her arranged to marry Loras in the show. That would make it even more heartbreaking for her when she's forced to wed Tyrion instead.

Am I wrong or is Loras not already supposed to be a kings guard? Has that not happened yet? It's so hard to keep track of the inconsistencies.

To cut out Horror and Slobber and all the Tyrell crew, the Tyrell's are gonna get her hopes up with marrying Loras, then Tywin will crush her with marrying Tyrion. Then, the "jilted" Loras can demand a Kingsguard position. Which is much more dramatic and to the point, and works perfectly fine, as well as shows how much fat can be trimmed from the books without much loss.

alg posted:aww, The Atlantic is warning people about Dany's lovely storyline Why would anyone think this was a good idea to write? There's literally no reason to write that article other than to be a poo poo. Mormont was awesome in both book and show and it sucks he's gone. Willas and Garlan Tyrell aren't existent in the show, but it's probably better that way because people want to know everything about the series without actually wanting to inform themselves.

They can just be introduced later like Shireen and Stannis Wife this season if they gonna be important. I say if because so far the only thing of importance Willas has "done" is the almost-betrothal to Sansa and I guess giving the Tyrells a reason to hate the Red Viper. The only reason anybody remembers Garlan is that he is a cool dude, who is one of the few people to give Tyrion the respect he deserves.
