lightbringer2525 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 As much as the TV show has differed from the books over time, they still find ways to have particular book lines or moments. I'm a sucker for book quotes, so I find myself getting excited when a particular line I loved is delivered perfectly on the show. Some of my favorite moments like this were when Rob said "This man was only the watcher, hang him last, so he can watch the others die." was perfectly done, and unexpected. They also managed to keep a great deal of Tywin's great lines such as "The next whore I catch in your bed, I'll hang." perfectly delivered by Charles Dance. There are countless others, but just curious what some of everyone elses favorites are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Greatjon's line about the 'bloody tough' meat. Eddard and Arya's lone wolf chat... But those were the good old days. I think I remember more deliberate omissions of book lines that are iconic or memorable or just popular among fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more the show has differed the more they've omitted great book lines or just changed them into something else. One from last season I was glad they kept was melisandre saying "you know nothing Jon snow". But other than that there weren't too many last year. It's unfortunate because every time they've done direct quotes they've been done really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only that hasn't happened in a while now. At least for me. And what pisses me off the most is all the lines they sort of include, but alter for no fucking reason at all. 'Just your sister`, ` OLLY , bring me my sword'. I mean, why? WHY? What's the reason? What purpose does it serve? Answer is, no reason, no purpose. Only the bad pussy.

briantw Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I thought the "beast in every man" quote was delivered much better on the show than in the books. It was the same basic quote, but the show tweaked it a bit and made it sound cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though was rewatching season 5 recently and that Janos scene really does piss me off. The dialogue from Jon in the book is so good, and could've so easily been done on screen. Oh well. Only thing I was happy about with that was keeping stannis' head nod to Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernDirewolf Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 "What do you pray for, Ser Jorah?" she asked him. "Home," he said. His voice was thick with longing. "I pray for home too," she told him, believing it. Wonderfully delivered by Emilia Clarke and Iain Glen in S01E04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only latest dialogue that the show delivered the best was Tyrion's trial. Peter Dinklage really nailed it man. Wishful thinking, but i hope they kept most of the Ironborn's dialogue, especially Euron's arousing speech at the Kingsmoot and "I am the storm... The first storm, and the last." The show runners don't need to make up a script for the Ironborn when they could at least used some from the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanF Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Tyrion's confession at the Eyrie Tywin's speech to Tyrion when he refused him Casterly Rock Tyrion's confession is even funnier than in the book. We also "at the age of 80, in my own bed, with a bellyful of wine, and a maiden's mouth around my cock" in the next episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
