Lord BitterRaven Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 In my mind, there's only one true standout..... And that's the TV version of Bronn, he gives Bronn of the Blackwater's character a depth that is definitely absent in the books. There are others that are good, and maybe even arguably better, but none distinguish themselves the same way in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthien Targaryen Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I find Sam and Gilly much more lovable on TV than they are in the books. In the books they annoy me, but they're really sweet on TV.Varys is my favourite character in the show, he's ok in the books,but I'm not overly taken with him. Tyrion drops to number 3, but people like Shae (people complained a lot from what I've read, but I thought TV Shae was great), Ygritte, Margaery, Lancel and Viserys became real favourites.I don't disagree about Bronn. but he's great in the books too.

Lord Sapna Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Sam definetly, he seems to have some development in the show, and I like seeing him gain confidence as he should with all he goes through. I also preferred the slayer scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eac Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Cersei and Theon are the big stand-outs for me. Oh, and Pedro Pascal's acting for Oberyn was brilliant as well. Not a huge fan of Daario (book or show) but also glad that the show version toned down his appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber W Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Theon: I don't remember feeling as much for the book character as I do for the show version. Brilliantly acted.Cersei: I find her more interesting in the show; there's a lot of whitewashing going on, but it makes her more layered and believable.Tywin: so much funnier.Tyrion: again, whitewashing on the show's part, but it makes me like him a lot more.Bronn: a lot more personality, way funnier.Osha: kick-ass lady in the show, can't remember thinking that much of her in the novels.

Balerion the kitten Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I was one of the earlier posters so this is a little late but I can't believe I forgot Viserys! Harry Lloyd played him perfectly. Even now when I imagine book viserys I think of TV show viserys, which isn't something I can say for the other actors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Dragonzzilla Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Haven't sat down and watched the series, but I rather like the Hound's depiction. Especially his beard. Whenever I see pictures of the Hound without one, since he was never described to have one, it irks me. He looks younger without one. I like to think the Hound doesn't really care for his appearance, so looks scruffy in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
