Supposedly the person who "leaked" the info works on the set (but since there are several sets spread around the world I take it all with a grain of salt) and has "inside information". Who knows though really. I hope they are wrong about a lot of that stuff, but I can see D & D doing it all.

Couple more things that don't make sense from the episode of fail.
1. Ser Loras is sparring in the training yard, which is inside the Red Keep IIRC. Cersei went as far as to allow the faith militant inside the Keep itself? More importantly, Loras would be sparing with a dozen other young knights and squires if not more, all in armor. Even with tourney swords a dozen knights aren't going to surrender to peasant douchebags in black pyjamas without a fight. 2. Cersei literally sends Tommen into a confrontation with the Faith Militant. Only bad things could happen from that. Tommen could be killed by the mob. Tommen could be forever cursed from spilling blood on the sept. Tommen could rescue Loras foiling her plot. Tommen could look weak in public. None of these are good for Cersei. So what the fuck? Also, I don't understand why they cut out Pate the whipping boy who was Cersei's leverage over Tommen in the books. I mean, D&D missed an opportunity to make Tommen gay as well. He could have been madly in love with Pate and was devastated when Cersei has him whipped in a kinky Mr. Slave homoerotic sadomasochistic session. D&D literally missed an opportunity for gay S&M last night. They set the homosexual rights movement back 10 years at least.   |

Like I said earlier: David and Dan seem to be attempting to make Cersei even more idiotic on the show than in the books. At least in the books she overturns Maegor's law so they'll acknowledge Tommen as the one true king and forgive the crown's debt to them. Not simply because she wants to fuck over Margaery. |

I heard some rumors about the rest of this season and I swear to god if they are true I am going to be so pissed. I hate what they've done with the sparrow's in the show. I loved everything the sparrows and faith militant did in the books, even if it was a bit extreme, because it surprised and screwed Cersei. I'm sure it will eventually turn on her, but they've been nothing but Cersei's lunatic catspaw in the show. I was telling my wife that there wasn't one "untainted" storyline last night in the show....I think that's a first. Most of them were completely off track from anything that happened in the books. I really did not enjoy last night's episode, and unfortunately I only see it getting worse. If it wasn't for my wife being into it, I think I would stop watching the show altogether until the completion of the book series. So you know, 20 years from now or so I might pick it up. So glad to not be a book reader. I remain undisappointed. undisappointed maybe, but you're missing out on a hell of a story by just reading cliff notes I will read the books once HBO completes their run of the story.

Quote HistoryQuoted: My gaydar got a bit noisy when he turned that action down. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: The story telling is falling off. I'm not feeling the show as much. Can't tell if this is because GRRM's narrative was itself falling down, or because HBO is off in their brave new improv and just winging it. Can someone tell me: Does Melisandre try to mount Jon Snow and taunt him with Ygritte in the books? My gaydar got a bit noisy when he turned that action down. It's a lot of restraint, that's for sure. We all are familiar with that blood-rushing-south, willpower-is-dissolving feeling. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So a lot of stuff happened here. Jaime kills a dude. Doesn't look in top form but he did win. Bronn looked like he is still boss level. I think Bronn might die this season, but not before taking down a bunch of people. Some people have speculated that Areo Hotah is going to do it. Cersei starting up the faith militant. Wow, that was fast. They wasted no time in laying waste to littlefinger's brothel and arresting ... Loras? A lot of people are butthurt about that (no pun intended) and I am unconvinced either way. It is a big departure from the books. I think they are setting up Cersei's madness arc. Barristan Selmy is dead. I think the preview for E5 showed his body. I think Grey Worm is still alive though, hard to say. I have to say, he was completely heroic but I don't really picture the best Knight in Westeros going down that way. It was about 10-2 (and Grey Worm was wounded) but still. The greatest living knight dies to some scrub with a 5" knife? Single stab? I don't think so. I also got some hints at R + L = J from the crypt sequence. And what's up with LIttlefinger? Is he going to King's Landing, and if so, what is he going to do there? I wonder if he is going to "take the place" of Varys stuff at the end of this season. But maybe he won't. Speculation: Littlefinger is going to the Vale to rally his troops and lead them to Winterfel. But the show has given an indication with the messages to Cersei that he will actually go to KL. I dunno, given the state of medicine in that world, Grey Worm's wound should be mortal. |

Question for the book readers: Would you have a problem with this season if you hadn't already read the books? I haven't read them and I am enjoying this season as much as the previous ones. I'll go back and read the books when (if) the fat man finishes them. Nope. If I had never read the books I'd think this was a pretty sweet show. I do try and keep them separate in my head though, and I don't hold it against them that everything isn't exactly like the books. There's no way it could be honestly. It's a cool show that my husband will actually watch with me so it's all plusses as far as I can see. |

Agreed. In addition, some of the changes just flat make no sense given the motives of the characters. Why does Cersei send Tommen into a confrontation with the Faith Militant? Cersei is all about protecting her children. It is her one redeeming feature, that and her cheekbones. And Littlefinger's alliance with the Boltons makes less sense now that he admits he is betting on Stannis. Why not keep Sansa and let Stannis and Roose fight it out? Then if Stannis wins be the one to present Sansa as a peace offering. If Roose wins offer her then, or find a better match. How did Littlefinger know that Roose would not chop Sansa's head off the second she walked through the gate? After all, you can't rally behind a Stark if there are no more Starks. Littlefinger's plan in the books makes much more sense for a character established as a skilled player of the Game of Thrones. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Littlefinger in the books was also seen as a nice guy with no ambition and regarded as trustworthy by most of the other characters. It isn't even obvious to the book readers what he wants. Littlefinger in the show is radically different. Obviously slithering around like a snake, and his motives are clear to just about everyone. |
