If Martin's series is good for anything, it's seeing the butterfly effect at work A Deathwatch Guard Send a noteboard - 20/06/2011 09:41:15 AM
And how innocent or seemingly innocent actions in one book can have dire ramifications in the future... The Hound's act here included, lol.

All in all, a very good episode, though I still dislike the way Robb is continuously portrayed in the show versus how he is in the books.

And the episode really worried me when Catelyn was talking to Jaime like that! Not certain why they decided to put that into this episode, but whatever, no harm done.

And all the pieces have been nicely set up for the upcoming season. I'm excited. :D

Oh, and since I have to list all my complaints, rather than write about things that I actually did like, I'll also mention the Pycelle scene. While I did like them showing that he isn't as good a maester as he pretends to be (as if his "eloquent" speeches on Cercei's behalf did not already show that) by having female companions over, I don't approve of them making it seem like his rambling old man persona is just a facade. Still, that's trivial as long as he doesn't end up overpowering some guardsmen in the future or something.

And finally, I loved the scene with Varys and Littlefinger. They are utterly perfect in their roles there.

What is Pycelle's story in the books? - 21/06/2011 01:04:29 AM 771 Views
The show Pycelle is very similar to the book one - 21/06/2011 01:22:11 AM 791 Views
Also, what don't you like about TV-series Robb? *NM* - 21/06/2011 01:06:16 AM 337 Views
Wondered about that too - 21/06/2011 08:15:31 AM 742 Views
Huh. I thought the exact opposite, lol. Hell if I know who's right. *NM* - 21/06/2011 11:01:16 PM 329 Views
Nope, I agree with you. TV Rob is much more likeable. - 22/06/2011 12:44:22 AM 714 Views
You're letting things that aren't even close to happening in the show affect your comparison?? - 22/06/2011 06:29:54 AM 724 Views
I think you are really splitting hairs here..... *NM* - 22/06/2011 08:19:14 PM 511 Views
I'm not sure that's a fair comparison. *general book spoilers* - 23/06/2011 12:10:23 AM 712 Views
