Game of Thrones: Season 2 (Page 2)

I was confused by this as well but I will wait to see what they do next week before I condemn it.

you are much kinder than i am.

They seem to be changing more this season but I hope it's just to have the ending come together more fluidly.

I agree that the  love triangle is odd and way different than the book.

Also don't remember Shae being a handmaiden to Sansa?  (Although it's hard to remember details).

Brienne was interesting, seems that HBO is really working hard on  the Love triangle of Loras, Renly and Margery.   

Still find the show interesting and entertaining.   Arya is till my favorite.

I think this is for later on in the series. In the books the illude to things but never directly talked about them.

Shae was a handmaiden but one of a few so she blended in if I remember correctly.

They changed up the battle with Arya but I can see why they did.

Isn't that the guy that was shaving Renly's chest in season 1 and then. well, you know.... ?  The series is really playing up the Renly homosexual aspect that was only really hinted at in the books.

They cut out a bunch or Arya's journey.  But they do only have 10 episodes for the season.  And the boy who got the bolt to the leg was almost exactly as I pictured him.  Same with the "I yield" boy, which seemed more like a wink to book readers, as nothing about that kid or his yielding and parlaying was shown.

Also, the chubby boy with Arya's group is Hot Pie.  Did alot of talking in the book, but the series just shows him as an actor with very few lines if any.

She was but not until much later.  The Shae character is very weak so far.  Shae is great int eh book, not so in teh show.

Yeah, they only have so much time, but i really wanted Hot Pie to do his "Hot Pie" war cry.  that was classic in the  book... i am also glad they kept the Tyrion/Pycel scense as written with Tyrion telling Shagga to "cut off his manhood and feed it to the goats".  Another GRRM classic line.

check out the video from SNL on Gawker 

If you didn't see it, the premise is that the show has two main artistic consultants: the author of the book, and a 13-year-old boy.

I don't remember King Joffery having two hookers in his bedroom from the books..  Gratuitous violence.  We already know that he is a twisted punk.

Really like Tyrion Lannister, every scene is stolen by Peter Drinkage.

And we slowly move onto episode 5.........

I thought it was a weird way to visually show how evil and depraved he is but for the people who haven’t read the books it accurately shows who he is as a person.

 The silent sisters cleaned and prepped the bones before they delivered them.  

So they can show a decapitated head being hammered down a pike but they can't show a chest of cleaned bones?  That's messed up.

Good to know anyway.
