Colonel Green Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 The only thing I want to nitpick over is when Cersei tells Margaery about "The Rains of Castamere". Cersei references to seeing the corpses hang above Casterly Rock, but in the books, she was not even born yet. House Reyne and Tarbeck were annihilated in 260AL and Jamie + Cersei were born in 266AL.In the books. There's no date for when it happened in the show, and moving the date doesn't really change anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Steven Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 very pissed they took away Sansa's f**k u to the lannisters.They didn't, Granted it wasn't as big as a f you as it was in the books, but it was still there. Sansa knew he could not reach her shoulders without help. Shewatched Joffrey carry the steps away, and she could here the crowd laughing at him. She made him ask her to kneel before she would actually help him out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see him leaving them up for decades as a warning for anyone else that would think about crossing him.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outtawack311 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 One of them may have been Bloodraven, but they're the murder the crows that follow Coldhands.Oh yeah, that makes more sense. It's been so long since I read the books that I forgot about the crows that follow Coldhands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scabbard Of the Morning Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 The writers also messed up Sansa's age. She's not 14, not in the show, she's got to be at least 16.Remember Sansa is 4 years older than Bran, Bran was 10 (in the show) when the story started, a it's been at least 2 years since season 1 started. Bran is 12 now and Arya is 14, Sansa should be 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheButcherCrow Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Pray tell, how does one establish Sansa's motives in not kneeling without access to her thoughts? There is no way to do it that doesn't stink of bad writing. The only way I can think of to do it would be to have had a scene where Shae tells Sansa not to kneel (thus making it Shae's idea, not Sansa's) or have Sansa say to Shae, "I will not kneel for him, they have taken everything from me, they shall not have that". Either way, it kinda sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser_Patreck Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 What reason do they have to disbelieve Sam and Gilly other than it gives you an excuse to complain about something? Sure they'll be surprised and skeptical at first but ultimately Sam has no reason to make it up since he's quite honest about his cowardice and Gilly has no reason to lie whatsoever.Dude. Sam is a fat coward. Gilly is a wilding. A wildling. The brothers are not usually the best of men, and they are way worse when fat cowards and wildlings are concerned. They would perceive this story as some way Sam found of earning respect, and would see Gilly's support as a wildling whore attaching himself to an incompetent brother in order to get protection.They needed witnesses. They have none. Not trustworthy ones, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grenn and Pyp will believe him and everyone else will call him "Slayer" ironically, which is essentially what happens in the book.

RottenAppleFossoway Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 What? He was super happy at the wedding in the books.I'm aware of that. But the books didn't make him out to be a complete jackass before hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Steven Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 So Tyrion wasn't acting Hand nor does he have any sense of free will? In how, that is the only way that your case is true.That's the equivalent of me giving you $1 and then for that dollar you give me $1,000. Then me Chastising you for be an ass for not taking that deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logodnica Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Seriously? He dances? I missed that in the preview.Edmure dancing at the RW??? :mellow: :smug: :lol: :lmao:He's not dancing. He's being carried to his bedding by the women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrosir Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 How about Gleeson's performance? At the wedding when he was demanding a bedding, he kept going in and out of acting drunk. One second he'd say something with a drunken swagger, then he'd be as bone sober as a kid who has X's on his hands.Dinklage was excellent.

Not trustworthy ones, anyway.I'm sure it'll happen differently than it did in the books, but someone is going to take the revelation that Sam has stumbled upon a way to kill the WWs seriously. Jon, certainly, and likely Aemon as well even if it only meshes with something he read in a book once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has no reason to lie and neither does Gillly, wildling or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khal Pono Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Who cares? I mean really?the poster did use the word "nitpick" which means he acknowledges he is complaining about a minor point. nitpicking is different from going apeshit over book changes--and we see plenty of both behaviors on these boards Edited May 20, 2013 by Khal Pono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
