    wow, they keep throwing the book out the window. I know non-readers won't care but tonights episode completely changes Jaimies character from the book. Jaimie is one of the most popular characters from the book for a reason but they are making him a real bastard in the show.

    Qarth changes aren't really that big of a deal. Maybe they want to make Qarth more prominent. Even the north of the wall changes or Winterfell changes are pretty minor. Really just plot points, not like changing the very nature of a major character.

    Ah well, I guess the show is still good based on it's own merits, just keep thinking about what we are missing.

    Jaime seemed like a bastard in some parts of the book. I know they changed part of Jamie's stuff from the book, but I actually like the show's version better. It looks like they are dipping into the third book a little just so Jaime has some screen time for this season.

    Jaime is a complete dick. That is what I love about him.

    I loved his comment about Brienne. "Where did you find this beast?"

    yeah but he has honor, even if it is in his own weird way. No way does book Jaimie kill a family member.

    Yeah I didn't really like that part.

  • Jaime just gets IT. His whole speech about the vows was spot on. Sure, you take vows and you should be expected to honor them, but Jaime knows it's not always that simple. He understands who and what he is and he understands who and what people see him as. I love his character. Not enough screen time this season. Every scene with him is solid gold.

    There wasn't a lot they could do with his character for season 2. It looks like they are going to dip into the third book already for Jaime's next scene if he has anymore. That will change next season for sure without spoiling anything. It's going to suck having to wait 10 months for season 3...

    I heard before the season started that they were going to dip into the third book this season because so much happens in book 3.

  • Thanks, I will pick that up

    They are really moving fast and also changing a good deal bit than they did on the first season. They either need to slow it down by writing a bunch of extra in or they will catch up to all the books in 4 seasons with no more content to go on

  • It depends on how they want to do it. There's a lot that happens in the third book. They could stretch it out over two seasons if they wanted.

    i think he's starting to catch on that she is somebody of importance.

    another great episode that leaves you wanting to know what happens in the next episode. never read the books so i have NO clue what could happen next. tis a good thing and bad thing haha

  • Haven't read the books, so I'm not sure how I should feel about the way that episode ended. Am I to assume the two burned corpses are who I think they are?

    Haven't read any books, but I highly doubt it's who he wants everyone to think they are.

    I figured as much, but based on how it was depicted and the vagueness of whether or not the bodies belonged to them, I didn't know if it was just Theon sending a message to the civilians in Winterfell. Plus I feel like the show has incorporated Bran's dream visions too much for him to go out like that. Color me skeptical that it was actually them.. guess I'll have to wait and see.
