The show Pycelle is very similar to the book one A Deathwatch Guard Send a noteboard - 21/06/2011 01:22:11 AM
Is there any reason that he is faking being such an old, forgetful boot?


Just without him pretending to be a really old man who can barely walk. He also sides with Cersei a tad more subtly than his "Treason is...Treason!" speech in the show, but in general he is very similar. I just didn't care for them making him a fairly spry old man pretending to be a rambling old fool, when in truth the latter is exactly what he is.

And in answer to your second question below, my main complaint about Robb is how he treated the Lannister spy they intercepted, and now in this episode where he was angrily hacking away at a tree to show his despair. The Robb in the book was much more in control of himself and kingly. Though I feel like the Robb plotline has really suffered in the show, and the absence of many of the necessary characters there is really showing. Add to that the mere 2000 men he supposedly sent to attack Tywin, and whatever issues I have with how Robb is portrayed are eclipsed by these much greater issues.

If Martin's series is good for anything, it's seeing the butterfly effect at work - 20/06/2011 09:41:15 AM 880 Views

Also, what don't you like about TV-series Robb? *NM* - 21/06/2011 01:06:16 AM 318 Views
Wondered about that too - 21/06/2011 08:15:31 AM 703 Views
Huh. I thought the exact opposite, lol. Hell if I know who's right. *NM* - 21/06/2011 11:01:16 PM 310 Views
Nope, I agree with you. TV Rob is much more likeable. - 22/06/2011 12:44:22 AM 674 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 678 Views
I think you are really splitting hairs here..... *NM* - 22/06/2011 08:19:14 PM 417 Views
I'm not sure that's a fair comparison. *general book spoilers* - 23/06/2011 12:10:23 AM 667 Views
