He didn't smash her head in the show, they said he cut her in half.

Which is why he is going to need to correct them. Maybe even illustrate his point, idk with an example, say an unwilling participant near at hand.

I cannot loving believe they hosed up one of the most iconic lines in the series like that. I had convinced myself that even with all the other dumb stuff they did, they wouldn't be dumb enough to ruin that scene, but I guess not.

Eh, as long as Nimble Dick Crabb shows up in the next season, I'll be appeased.

Well you see the fight STARTS at the Red Keep but quickly spills into the streets and then into Littlefinger's brothel where asses and titties and gore begins to flow like lemoncakes

Instead of accidentally cutting off peasants arms, the Mountain will accidentally cut of the dresses of all the female spectators.

I thought it was pretty funny.

It looks like they're going to forgo the whole "Brienne and Podrick wander around doing nothing" arc because Show-Pod figures out where Sansa is by doing some simple reasoning. Killing off Rorge and Biter in the most hilariously anti-climactic way quickly wraps up that dangling plot thread.

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

Hahah I didn't even realize that was The Biter until Rorge said his name, gently caress it didn't even look like he bit him, just 'hop, flail, get snapped by Sandor.' The camerawork on this show is sub-par.


And let me tell you how got-dam tired I am of fbookers telling me I have delicious tears because I legit critique the awful bits in a show and also because I am literate.

Which was ridiculously over-the-top, I much prefer it when he just bashes her skull in. I mean I get it, he's strong, (nearly?) cut off a horses head and all that. He doesnt have to cut it all in half though. At this rate I fear for Oberyn in the show

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).

Somewhere between "rape them until they die" and "I'm going to eat your parents," I got the inkling the show writers might not be the best at writing morally complicated villains when left to themselves.

I just realized they cut daario's sellsword company (stormcrows) and replaced it with the second sons, which is the one tyrion hires. Daenary's / slaver's bay show story line just became a lot more clear.

I'm going to be really bummed if they pull another vargo hoat varamyr coldhands strong belwas and don't cast the tattered prince

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

It is sort of stupid, that kind of gloating ( mostly because we are long past tears, or outrage, or even that much "care" I think ). Just wait until the fatman dies, and they close down this thread because there are no more books, and we have to LIVE in TVIV.

I ventured over there yesterday, and was surprised to see BOOK TALK in that thread. I guess it has mellowed out over there?

In the book instead of having three dragons, Daenerys actually IS a dragon. Jon Snow too. Needless to say it makes their characters far more interesting

GRRM will die before he has to write the ending, but he'd change it enough to make it a distinct enough ending to make it worth buying his books.

I think most people have come to terms with that. If there's anybody left that sincerely thinks that HBO is gonna have a hiatus or backstory seasons to wait for him, they're being a silly person and will probably come around eventually.

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.

They won't make it to the Vale. They'll get lost or something and have more wacky banter before stumbling onto Stoneheart in the finale.

I can't decide if stoneheart will be revealed with Brienne, or if like in the books, it'll be some random loving Frey chump who gets killed. They could really go either way, although I'm still thinking the latter.

I'm surprised they went with "Maybe they're going to the Vale. Let's go there." instead of "Let's search for more info about this 'Brotherhood' and try to find them." Seems like a more reasonable next step in their investigation while also being a more direct route to Zombie Cat.

Hopefully they have a Scooby Doo style scene where they chase after the villain who is after Sansa through a series of interconnected doors before they all crash into one another to a terrible laugh track.

Then Pod will look up and go "Rut Ro!"
