RedShirt47 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Jaime and Tyrion "fight" during the escape from King's Landing. "That girl who for some reason married you wasn't a whore""Well I did kill your son, so THERE!" seemed like a plot device contrived purely to drive a (unnecessary) wedge between the two brothers. I don't expect it to go anywhere, as in Tysha ever returning, as it's done it job plot wise.I was happy the show didn't bother with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerevanin Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 All those obfuscating q's and z's for the names of the Slaver's Bay inhabitants. Skahaz mo Kandaq Hizdahr zo Loraq and of course... Yezzan zo Qaggaz I half expect TWOW to describe how Barristan ends up in single combat against the newest Yunkish commander "Zaqqaz zo Quizzaq" or some other nonsense. Yeah, this too. Half of the time I have no bloody idea who the characters are because they all are called the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shagwell Snow Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I know someone who actually fucked the series off because of all them names in mereen.she told me at a family party.she said ''All them names just fucked my head up I didn't know whether I was coming or going" this same girl was reading agot in the hospital when her child was sick and the nurse came in to comfort her because she was crying, thinking that she was upset about her kid.But the truth is she'd just read of Ned's execution n was distraught about it.Point being she was obviously into the series but had her very own mereenese knot that she couldn't deal with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect it to go anywhere, as in Tysha ever returning, as it's done it job plot wise.I was happy the show didn't bother with it.Usually I'm happy to let the books and show stand apart but in thus instance I agree. I prefer the change. I think I could have handled Jamie's confession but I hated it that Tyrion lied to hurt him. It seemed. . . inconsistent with his character. Maybe it was supposed to illustrate how his experiences have changed him but. . . Uhg. It made me so upset.I get annoyed when people pressure GRRM to hurry up and finish. DON'T DO IT, GEORGE!! Take your sweet, sweet time. Take a vacation, do whatever you need, just please don't rush it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 About Cersei's body... Jaime doesn't mind. Really, he has seen the marks, the saggy breasts, everything. He doesn't care. Why would he? She's very much his wife. Mostly women get those things after babies and hubbies/bf/mates don't really care at all. :dunno: Of course, Cersei matters what other feel.

Mish Windage Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Those little red needles on a cactus plant. Just kidding... some descriptions can sometimes feel tedious, but then I find myself having to go back and sift through them for a clue of some sort.

Lady Beefheart Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Yes, I think Cersei's "ugliness" is supposed to be symbolic for her downfall in every other way as well, and her loss of power. Her power was always in her beauty, and now they're showing her lose that, therefore she's losing her power as well. Of course, the walk of shame itself is an undeniably misogynistic punishment, but I'll take it over what Kettleblack got any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one that pisses me off is Rhaezn. It is near impossible to pronounce and even if you do somehow find a way it sounds to much like raisin, I think GRRM should have thought he name Rhaezn through more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I don't think we need to get any more details on needlework unless its Arya's. This book is not about knitting and embroidery. They spend enough time on it while Septa Mordane is still alive and that shows it was a part of their lives. Things have changed. There are wars going on and has Winter has come! Perhaps they're wearing their knitting now. Someone told me in a recent post that GRRM doesn't write any filler. Well, if the story ends up being finished with a fashion show and a home crafting bizaare, I will be severely disappointed. I am not reading the books for high fashion, knitting, embroidery or recipes or an education on the finest vintages from the Arbor. I cannot stand that every flea in Westeros has to be mentioned. Why do we need to know every time Tyrion has a leg cramp? Doesn't Penny have them too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drekinn Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 What happened to Weasel? I fear we will never find out x( She's another nameless/forgotten casualty of war. It's pretty sad when you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 About Weasel, I hope she had a quick death, tbh. And she got lucky the Mountain wasn't remotely closer to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Killer Snark Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Daenarys sitting on her ass for almost the entirety of her chapters in ADwD, indecisively doing nothing. Jon Connington. The constant stream of hard to remember new minor characters in the later Sansa chapters. As noted before by others, the gibberish indentikit names of all the Gradditz no Quiddatz and Loraq ni Haddrazz type characters in Meereen.
