Kaspiro Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Episode 402 had a few major deviations from the books. Personally, I really liked the War of the Five Kings with dwarves adaptation rather than the dwarf jesters. Much funnier, and it suits the televised adaptation of Joffrey perfectly.

Pod The Impaler Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Melisandre, Stannis and Selyse. Selyse is just so ... nuts ? They burned her brother at the stake and she's like a kid at her first fireworks show "Did you see his soul fly out ?!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kinkslayer Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Bronn fighting Jaime Hinting at Olenna poisoning the cup (or it was Margaery poisoning the pie?).. just like the book (I was expecting some hints to Oberyn being the poisoner). Olenna shutting Mace: "I'm talking with Tywin!!". Bran's vision of dragons over a pre-winter KL and an abandoned Iron Throne covered with snow. Things that may never happen, as at the end of ADWD is already snowing in KL and all known dragons are half a world away. I have a bad feeling about Show-Vargo and Team Shaggy-dog :crying:. I liked Fat Walda, I disliked Ramsey's Princess Merida, and Roose not saying 'Don't make me rue the day I raped your mother'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Killer Snark Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 The shaving scene between Theon and Ramsay, though I reckon Theon would most likely have killed him. He's not yet as broken as he is later on. Roose is more judgemental in the series towards Ramsay than he is in the novels. The Dreadfort deviations work better in the series, however, than the deviations elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Last Reyne Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I have to vote for Oberyn vs the Lannisters. He has a wonderful menace about him that is truly perfect. He is as well casted a character as there is in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hath4 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 well roose was only chiding ramsay for ruing a valuable hostage, he doesn't care what atrocities he commits ie hunting women flaying prisoners he was upset because he wanted theon in one piece to trade for moat calin.

The Killer Snark Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 But...in ASoS, just before the Red Wedding, Roose makes it apparent he's not too concerned with valuing Theon as a hostage, despite what he suggests to Robb, when he presents Catelyn his flayed skin as a gift: which shows, if he isn't complicit in the flaying, he at least doesn't judge it very much.

Mr Hodor Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 the dwarves enacting the war of five kings instead of just jousting thank god ramsay didnt rape the woman before killing her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konradsmith Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Before I retire for the night/morning, I'll observe that this is the second time Theon's been asked "how do you feel about that" regarding a Stark murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Like: QoT's comment on what kind of monster murders a man at a wedding. Unlike: 5 dwarves, at this point Balon Greyjoy and Stannis Baratheon remain unvanquished. A play where the kings enemies remain standing? Unlikely.

Jairion Lannister Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Ramsay telling Theon that Robb was dead was good, and made me hate him more and feel some sympathy for Theon. It's good that they established the fact that both were once like brothers. Plus, Ramsay was brilliant in the way he seemed unphased despite the fact Theon had a blade, because he knew Theon wasn't going to hurt him. Olenna's subtle little hint about killing a man at his wedding being wrong was fantastic. Obvious to book readers, but probably not so obvious to show watchers since they wouldn't suspect her. Joffrey not only dying with Cersei, but with Jaime beside him as well was a nice touch. I wonder if it'll change Jaime's perception of the event considering it doesn't move him in the books. Maybe actually seeing it happen will make him slightly more affected by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The hairy bear Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I also liked the "war of the 5 kings". It was an interesting twist to the original idea, and it was real fun seeng the faces of the Tyrells during the show. Also, it opens the possibility of retconning Penny as Robb Stark if needed. The thing about Roose being already in the Dreadfort is: Where is "Arya"? It's easy to introduce her at S5 if they decide to follow that arch. Just have Roose complaining that he's having trouble rallying the North behind him as they are too used to follow a Stark. And then, come with the idea. In fact, !showJeyne has never been said to travel to KL. She could be one of the girls at Winterfell that Ramsay captured, and she may have been a prisoner in th Dreadfort since then. It fits quite nicely, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chebyshov Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Oberyn's "not you" line to Tyrion, along with the look he gives Loras. Perfecto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raksha 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 yeah but what he did was terrible man eaten alive by dogs is one of the most horrible ways to die. If I remember right (don't have access to the books at the moment), it was clear in the book (ADWD) that Ramsey's dogs did not kill his human quarry; they would track them down and hold them at bay and Ramsey himself would rape and kill the girls. The dogs were, on the whole, nicer creatures than Ramsey (I'm not including what the dogs might have done to Jeyne, since if they did, it would have been because Ramsey trained them to do that); they gave rough comfort and shelter to Theon. Can't wait until Ramsey dies. He's a horror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
